88 is Nazi code for HH (Heil Hitler). H is the 8th letter in the alphabet.

Anyone running a newer MacBook Pro can install Ollama and run it with just a few commands:

brew install ollama

ollama run deepseek-r1:14b

Then you can use it at the terminal, but it also has API access, so with a couple more commands you can put a web front end on it, or with a bit more effort you can add it to a new or existing app/service/system.

Unfortunately I think most businesses will still prefer that their AI solution is hosted by a company like OpenAI rather than maintaining their own. There’s still going to be a need for these large data centers, but I do hope most people realize that hosting your own LLM isn’t that difficult, and it doesn’t cost you your privacy.

Wait, so mandating return to office in the middle of flu season has resulted in more people getting sick? Who could have seen that coming?

Think of it as a methadone clinic for doomscrollers.

There’s a reason no one lives in fucking Wyoming. Why should they move from their seaside country to middle of nowhere Wyoming?

Let’s move them to Florida’s South East Coast. There’s hardly anyone important there, and we can just relocate the people there a bit further inland.

The man told CBS News Miami his message to the president: “If I get a chance to talk to you, man — please, man — let’s work something out. Let me keep my wife here in the United States. She deserves to be here.”

And he still thinks trump gives a shit about him and would even entertain having a conversation with him.

And fuck this guy… why does his wife deserve to be in the US and not all of the other people who were grabbed?

The volume of the pardons and the crimes of the pardonees

He’s making room in the prisons for what he considers to be ‘real crime’ (anything to do with the marginalized or those who don’t support him).

it simply produces things with bugs

And the small companies will realize that you need to start investing in your QA again - because NO ONE does adequate QA any more. Every piece of software I interact with these days is shit. If you are a developer, I’m talking to you: your code might be great, but the overall product is shit because no one is adequately testing the functionality. I get it, Testing is expensive… but now that you need fewer developers, hire some QA engineers. Just because we’ve moved on to ‘continuous improvement’ doesn’t mean we can’t do better.

skeet (the generally accepted term for a Bluesky post)

Can we just agree that they are all just “posts”? No more “tweets”, “Toots”, “xeets”, etc… it’s just a post.

I hope you don’t mind, but I was inspired!

I love it!

This is one I made the day he was caught, it still makes me giggle.

The problem with getting working class candidates is they are too busy working.

I’ve been considering ordering a bunch of these.

“Remember, no Russian”

“I have a plan, Arthur”

“Pheromones.” “Do I smell beef?”

When China, the US or Google do break encryption they aren’t going to announce it.

Check out your local roasters! After you ask what toothpaste they use, they might also be able to help with your coffee problem.

I am surprised that some of his usual audience joined a platform specifically because of him.

You’re surprised that a privacy and security advocate and essayist with a large online following would have people who would take his advice on which social media platform is best for security and privacy?

Exactly!

I don’t hate TikTok because of its short videos, I hate it because the app is an assault on privacy and potentially a subversive tool to influence the public.

Me.

I followed him from Twitter to Mastodon, even though he didn’t exactly endorse Mastodon. If he were to endorse a platform I wouldn’t think twice about joining.
