On mbin, it’s very easy to accidentally boost (retoot) posts, and mbin doesn’t seem to propogate undoing that. any boosts you see from this account when viewing on mastodon et cetera are finger fudges, sorry!

  • Looks like they took some cues from Dark Audacity. A dark theme is nice, but when Audacity first started adding telemetry shit I took Dark Audacity for a spin and hated more or less every UI “improvement.” Lots of extra menu diving to access important, heavily used features DA decided was “clutter.” Tenacity has some bugs but it’s served me very well since otherwise






  • if this was about Number Go Up, they’d probably make more money selling the despined books or something instead of destroying them and selling (or do whatever they’re doing with) the raw pulp. this sounds like an expensive process and there’s no guarantee that expanding these datasets is going to improve their models in a quantifiable way, let alone a profitable one. they must just get some kind of perverse pleasure out of making the world a worse place


  • something very similar in mainframe land where they call files “datasets.” if you call a dataset a file, get ready to get an earfull!

    which is ironic considering IBM themselves often call them files and one of the most popular dataset utilities is called FileAid. but if we acknowledge that, we lose a valuable opportunity to belittle and exclude newcomers
