mastodon 4.6.0-nightly.2026-03-12

I used to work on tools for people to do work. Now I play with old computers and do other retiree things.

Ed Zitron is right. Ceterum censeo LLMs esse delenda.

Does anyone have a pointer to the final OSF/1 Mach microkernel Open Source release? Right now searching for “osfmk” just gets me Apple xnu and MkLinux sources, and I’d like to find something without either Apple or Linux bits… Maybe Utah Lites has it?

There seem to be two distinct kinds of “chatbot psychosis” happening right now:

1. Becoming delusional about themselves and the world as a result of being glazed nonstop by the friend in their computer, thinking they’re inventing new physics, discovering mystical secrets, etc. and becoming manic.

2. Becoming delusional about what LLMs are capable of and how effective they are, as a result of developing a reliance upon them, and becoming fanatical in their promotion and defense.

@mrudokas@mastodon.social @manton for 30 years i’ve been lucky that this creative thing i enjoy would also pay the bills. but i think that situation was always an anomaly. AI is inevitable correction.

@isaiah@mastodon.social @mrudokas@mastodon.social @manton It’s being actively taken away from you by people who don’t think you deserve the success you’ve had, just like it was taken away from musicians and artists. It’s not bitterness to acknowledge or oppose the slopmongers trying to devalue real creative work.

LOL, “Hacker” “News” moderation is unhappy that I called a sociopathic piece of shit a sociopathic piece of shit and told them to remove themselves from society. Oh, dang, you’re such a good mod. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47345025

If Iran finally manages to force the world off of petroleum, how do you think historians 1000 years from now will regard the events?

Anyone want to help figure out the Lisa A-trap dispatcher? I put a disassembly in a gist: https://gist.github.com/eschaton/2c9cdcddccd3dde177005872ddd6e946 #retrocomputing #lisa #m68k #MARCHintosh

Iran, please release all of the compromising data about all of the Western elites you have.

I’ve published my Lisa filesystem access tool: https://github.com/eschaton/lisafs It lets you list and extract the files in a Lisa filesystem, with automatic text file conversion. It supports both the flat Lisa OS 2.0 and the hierarchical Lisa OS 3.0 filesystems. Right now it only works with Disk Copy 4.2 disk images but should be straightforward to extend to any other format that preserves page labels, e.g. raw 536-byte/sector ProFile dumps.
