If you speak Finnish, I highly encourage you take a look at the Microsoft Translator website. They’ve proudly translated the entire site into Finnish to show it off. www.microsoft.com/fi-fi/transl...

It’s so terrible it should be insulting, but actually ends up cathartic. The machines are clueless.

The fact that that’s advertising their machine translation service is just the perfect cherry on top 🍒

"i saw a bad post on x" ok well i saw a turd in the toilet but i'm not making you look at a screenshot of it

Venue: −€4000 Speaker travel subsidies: −€550 Merchandise: −€525 Marketing: −€300 Helsinki on Rails tour: −€325 Net ticket sales: +€3750 Sponsorships: +€3500 Total: +€1550

In the sake of transparency, here are the rough financial results from tiny ruby #​{conf} 2025

Amounts exclude VAT. Stripe & Tito fees have been deducted from ticket sales.

Travel costs were lower than expected, which increased the total, but organising tiny conferences isn’t a path to riches. 😅

I'm staying on Paedophile Island to prove a point actually.

Might be only slightly related, but reminds me of “God of the gaps”

I’ve only ever read one Heinlein book, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, and couldn’t believe how much time he spent going on about how there are no age of consent laws on the moon. Definitely won’t be reading more…

My Plans for the weekend...

Google Meet automation to reschedule meetings forever and generate excuses with AI

“You should invest in high quality furniture that will last a lifetime”

Expensive designer furniture from major brands: made from particleboard, MDF, and crumpled paper.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT.
CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open.
DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open.
CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are.
DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

String Furniture - Scandinavian furniture for the entire home Flexible, iconic and modern. With a modular shelving system you can build shelves for every room in your home and custom-make them after your needs.

Is there a third-party manufacturer of String system compatible shelves?

Specifically, I’d want solid wood shelves instead of veneered particleboard.

DJI drone videos and Apple Photos If you own a DJI drone and have imported videos from it to your Apple Photos library, you may have noticed that the GPS coordinates are not recognised in Apple’s software.

I wrote a short blog post about how to get #Apple Photos to recognise GPS coordinates from #DJI drone videos. Requires a bit of command line wrangling!
