Took me nearly all week (in my spare time), but Mu (µ) finally officially support linux/amd64 🥳 I completely refactored the native code backend and borrowed a lot of the structure from another project called wazero (the zero dependency Go WASM runtime/compiler). This is amazing stuff because now Mu (µ) runs in more places natively, as well as running everywhere Go runs via the bytecode VM interpreter 🤞
Heh I thought I fixed that bug? (is it s abug?!)
This week, Mu (µ) get s bit more serious and starts to refactor the native backend (a lot). Soon™ we will support darwin/arm64, linux/arm64 and linux/amd64 (Yes, other forms of BSD will come!) – Mu (µ) also last week grew concurrency support too! 🤣
It drizzled all morning when we picked up the old christmas trees in town with the scouts. Right after lunch the snow storm suddenly hit and dumped three centimeters of snow in just 15 minutes. I cycled home in these crazy conditions, freezing rain hammered my face. As soon as I arrived, it stopped. It’s now down to drizzling again.
All my soaked gear is now hung up to dry. The next 11 months, I’m going to find needles over needles in all kind of impossible places.

Happy New Year, nyoro- !!!!
happy new year from the uk
Happy New Year!! The Year of the Linux Desktop!!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Do you have your client’s code hosted anywhere?
Why the hell do I have to git add everything!? Is it not enough for the file(s) to be already checked in from the get go?
Git = G(od damn)it
Everything about the future is classified information
well, accidentally I did make a simpler yarn theme, in hindsight
I’ve been sick all week….
Merry Xmas!
This one is a slightly more 3D looking, as well as the first one, with the tail swirled.
Lab report: Reading a 4th Edition Research Unix tape image on Plan 9 — http://a.9srv.net/reports/index.html#v4
Side effects of having a NetBSD server: I can use it to build things for my computer (also running NetBSD)
morning!!
what would be funny is @prologic@twtxt.net writing things with his namesake (Prolog)
Awk to take lines from Plan 9’s /lib/unicode and prepend the actual glyph and a tab: awk ‘{cmd=sprintf(“unicode %s”, $1); cmd | getline c; printf(“%s %s\n”, c, $0)}’
Once a bookworm, always a bookworm.
Man, I have no idea where the last build of the Yarn android client went to (even though it wasn’t all that good when I first used it, but it was relatively useful otherwise)
i’ve learned a lot of lessons from writing my notes app, gonna apply this to bbycll and refactor the code to make it way more legible cause my custom templating system is only kind of a giant mess
yarn stop logging me out challenge (impossible)
it is really annoying and degrading to find that you need to upgrade to payed subscription to enable 2fa on your account, cmon ppl those are basic things…
Yo @prologic@twtxt.net, apparently even ‘git clone’ is getting blocked by your Gitea or something (I’m using authentication, naturally)
Day 6 of AoC, and I’m all caught up. 12 puzzles down, 12 more to go!

@prologic@twtxt.net
Interesting experiment for salty-chat, use the MQTT protocol instead of HTTP, in theory it shouldn’t make a difference, at least
I’m gonna ask here again because I’m really frustrated and literally no one else is responding anywhere can u guys please help me find a good video camera the biggest think I want is long battery life but I also want it to be cheap like under $200, if you yourself don’t know please ask a friend because I am not a tech nerd and looking for stuff like this is very hard for me
The YAML forbidden knowledge of yarnd
Posting in anachronistic order, hah!
Got back into drawing! :)
I also made a couple (digital) collages today. Huge achievements
save 100% today when you don’t buy anything
@prologic@twtxt.net do I just have to actually post the token into the twtxt timeline for the bridge?
(as in, for registration)
Hey @prologic@twtxt.net 👋
@c350a5e5fb9d9457@bridge.twtxt.net Does this mean we’res starting to work, this whole Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge thingy? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net Your gitea thinks the LICENSE file in the yarn repository is SSPL-1.0 instead of GNU AGPL 3.0,
and I can’t help but giggle at that
Alright, this yarnd installation has been properly fixed.
Better Technology, Worse Motivation: GenAI’s Mediocrity Trap
While generative AI (GenAI) promises productive efficiency, it can paradoxically lead to lower-quality work. We conducted an experiment with professional illustrators and found that AI assistance flattens the quality curve—it accelerates initial gains but sharply diminishes the returns on sustained effort. Faced with this, a significant number of professionals made a strategic choice: they sacrificed the final quality to save time.
From http://www.jin-li.org/uploads/1/1/4/5/114595093/ai_and_motivation.pdf
I haven’t read this and can’t vouch for it; seems vaguely AI-boostery. Still, the conclusions are interesting. This seems to be the picture that is emerging about generative AI generally: most people don’t like it and find that degrades the quality of work. Coders seem to like it and think that it helps them, but in fact it makes the slower, less productive, and more bug prone.
By all measures it’s a bad technology. We should just be honest about it. There is no need to make excuses for multi-trillion-dollar corporations.
PSA: Just in case you start getting 5xxs on my end, I’m not dead 😂 (well, unless I am). Well be changing ISPs and hopefully get the new line up and running before the old provider cuts us off.
