I was driving. Thinking. Listening to music. Resetting my mind. Left and right, haze, flatland and cultivated fields. I watched the road markings follow one another, all identical, in time with the prog-rock I was listening to. Hypnotic. They seemed to do it on purpose. I smiled. Suddenly, the mix changed, and one of Ivan Graziani's masterpieces began to play. And my smile faded.
When I was a teenager, I regarded him with suspicion. He had been born a few kilometres from me, many years earlier, had studied in my city, and yet he didn't appreciate it. Somehow, I disliked him. I liked his sounds, not his words - so hostile towards the places I held dear.
And yet his music made me fly. I would travel, remember. The few memories of a teenager, but already precious. His sea - my sea - I could have written those words myself. Or perhaps not, but the feeling is the same. Too complex for a teenager. I didn't think about it.
One evening I crossed paths with him, right in "our" city. I recognised him and gave him a nod. He returned it with a smile - eloquent, communicative. To an idiotic kid who still hadn't understood a thing. He, on the other hand, had already understood everything. A few years later, when I read about his death, it didn't touch me. He was young - but old enough and distant enough from me. Very distant. But he stayed forever young, and I, year after year, drew closer to him. In age, certainly. But I gradually understood that he had been right - oh, how right he had been - about so many other things. And his warm words became a comfort, breaking through the solitude, knowing I was not the only one to feel those specific emotions.
As he described our sea, the asphalt turned to sand and the road markings to waves. Yes, it is our sea he is singing about! I can hear it in the details. In the depth of the emotions. How much he missed it, just as I miss it now. We are like two seashells, he and I. We can be anywhere, but hold one to your ear and you will always hear the sound of the sea.
My smile returned, wider, calmer. If I could go back to that evening in the mid-nineties, I would thank him. But there is no need. He had already understood. Long before I could understand myself, long before life taught me to listen to my own voice.
Thank you, Ivan.
I flick the indicator. Time to park.

What it actually is:
Far right: Trump, Bush, Bloomberg

The use of “hallucinate” is a stroke of true evil genius in the AI world.
In ANY other context we’d just call them errors & the fail rate would be crystal clear.
Instead, “hallucinate” implies genuine sentience & the *absence* of real error.
Aw, this software isn’t shit! Boo’s just dreaming!

I had already implemented multi-provider support, but after this morning’s issues I decided to change the behavior: we will continue using the excellent OpenMeteo as the primary provider, but in case of malfunction, the bot will automatically fetch data from MET Norway (https://www.met.no and still provide forecasts, citing the source.
In the coming days, I will also update the website to reflect these changes.

A bureaucrat, dressed in a dull grey suit, crossed the door, moved behind a forest of microphones and began talking.
"Starting today, and after last month sad happenings, the World Space Agency nominates cosmonaut Ilya Iskanderovich Takashvili as the third satellite of planet Earth. This is a homage and this is an eulogy. God bless him. Thank you very much for your attention."
"God? What is this joke?", said the young man.
"Is that all?", said the old man, looking up from what he was writing.
"So it seems", said the woman.
The young man turned back to listen, then looked at me and smiled.
"Oh, you are Miroslav Corbett from documentation, aren't you?"
"Yes, it's me. Do I...?"
"We shared a table at the last convention of the Cinematik Ausfahrt Biotech Aréopage."
That was probably true.
"Sorry, but can any of you tell me who this cosmonaut was?", said the old man in golden glasses.
The woman in military attire started talking: "He was a member of ISS Nova's repairing staff. His umbilical link was broken while repairing the right solar panel and..."
Suddenly, a deep, nasal voice from the back of the room silenced everyone.
"Sorry, I have a question."
All of us looked back. His large silhouette opaqued the back lights; his bright red skin, black scar tatoos and pointy horns contrasted wildly against the immaculate white tuxedo he was wearing.
He was one of the demons that crossed the Seam. Many of them were shoved back or killed, but a few of them, peaceful in nature, stayed here among us and adapted to our society as especial guests. Their world view and opinions, so different than those from the humanity, were always appreciated and taken into account.
He continued his mesmerizing, gutural speech.
"First, I want to give my condolences to Ilya Takashvili's family and friends; I'm sure he will be missed. His oval orbit will produce an eclipse with the Moon every three days, so he will hardly be forgotten. But I want to remark something you all, human beings, have trouble remembering."
The silence was total, awkward, frightening.
"What is the second satellite of planet Earth?", he finally said.
I tried to remember. While doing it, my brain entered something like a cloud, a mist, a fog of dread. Simply, I was lost. The rest of the people there (excluding the demon and the mechanical butlers, shiny grey eyes like pearls) found themselves in the same trance state.
The demon kept talking.
"The damage caused by the Mind Sickers from the Great Anomaly is still here. No one of you remember what the second satellite is. You may consider it while counting, you may recall old photos and tales and drawings, but every time you try to concentrate in the details, your brains crash and reboot."
Slowly, I recovered, but my stomach was still twirling.
The old man with the notebook was lying on the floor; the woman in combat clothes was helping him. Some people were crying. Others were bleeding from their ears and nostrils.
"I wish I could help", finished the demon, "but don't know how, yet."
Invoking that memory in the middle of a massive crowd was a despicable act; but demons, even while trying to help, behave this way.
Half an hour passed before the press room was finally empty.

What's up?
I am working on the next techno-mage issue, which will come out as a complete story sometime in April. I like to think this will result in a more enjoyable experience as opposed to rushing out parts and pages.
I am also continuously working on the comic series Creatures and my passion project Kitty Odysseus. Which you may or may not enjoy in the meanwhile.
They can be found, along with Japanese Jesus, on my (other) website or in lemmy's Funhole.

I can't tell you what takes precedence, but it will all get made eventually.
If you enjoy what I make, or have some other use for it, please consider supporting my work financially.

I'm working on a YouTube mini series explaining the Fediverse!!
Who are the most knowledgeable people in this realm who I should definitely talk to?
What do you think is important to include in my series? I want to hear thoughts!!
note this is not the same thing as "if I do not follow orders to use LLMs I will not be able to feed myself/my family," which is a different quandary dropped off the side of the power gradient by others

Ayer 28 de marzo conmemoramos la muerte de Ambrose Gwinett Bierce. Para recordarle como merece os proponemos estos audios.
Primero, uno de sus relatos más célebres, parte de los Mitos de Cthulhu.
«Un habitante de Carcosa», de Ambrose Bierce
https://go.ivoox.com/rf/70689408
Es segundo lugar, otra de sus grandes historias, donde Bierce despliega todo su fino humor negro que le caracterizaba.
«Aceite de perro», de Ambrose Bierce
https://go.ivoox.com/rf/93233718
Y, finalmente, uno de sus cuentos menos conocidos, pero en el que también da muestras de su dominio del humor negro y la sátira.
Esperamos que os gusten.

I also took the chance to update #snac and, again, no surprises. Great piece of software.
"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said.
"To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child."
"Are you sure?"
"You think it frivolous?"
"No. But to grant it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories."
"Would my life change?"
"You ask that every time."

May you live in interesting times... https://no01.substack.com/p/march-19-21-god-is-a-comedian Three weeks into the Iran war, reality has passed through the looking glass, out the other side, and is now selling tickets to the gift shop. What follows is not satire. Satire requires exaggeration, and you cannot exaggerate something that is already operating at maximum absurdity. This is simply the news, and nothing but the news. Told straight, in a universe that has clearly stopped taking its medication.
Your reader, your couch, your rules.
Starting today, both my-notes.dragas.net and it-notes.dragas.net are changing the way they distribute content - on RSS and on the Fediverse alike.
No more excerpts. No more "read more" links. Full posts, delivered directly to you, wherever you choose to read them.
Here's why:
I don't run ads. I don't have paywalls. I don't sell attention, or measure success in page views. I never have, and I have no intention of starting. My blogs exist because I enjoy writing, and because
some of what I write might be useful - or simply enjoyable - to someone else.
That's the whole business model. There isn't one.
When that's the case, there's no reason to keep content behind a click.
Sending you a teaser and asking you to visit my site would only make sense if I needed you *on my site* - for an impression, for a conversion, for something. I don't. So why would I make you leave your reader, your client, your comfortable corner of the internet, just to come to mine?
What I want instead is simple: that you can read what I write the way you'd read a book on a cold winter evening, wrapped in a warm blanket. Privately.
Quietly. On your own terms, in your own space, without anything tracking your eyes or nudging you toward something else.
Your RSS reader is yours. Your Fediverse instance is yours. The content should be yours too.
If you're on the Fediverse, you can follow both accounts directly:
- my-notes → @mynotes
- it-notes → @itnotes
These are low-traffic accounts. If you don't want them to get lost in your timeline, feel free to hit the notification bell. I promise it won't make much noise.
So from now on, it will be.

Bluesky Reveals Massive Hidden Investment
Today #Bluesky revealed that in April 2025 they received a whopping $100M venture capital investment lead by Bain Capital Crypto and that they KEPT IT A SECRET.
https://bsky.social/about/blog/03-19-2026-series-b
So the answer to the big mystery Who Owns Bluesky? (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116025246450023071) is finally out. Crypto VCs.
Now, we should be asking why did this company that prides itself on transparency and "decentralization" decide they needed to hide who owned the company?
Who owns Bluesky?
The curious mystery of the Bluesky Series B funding round.
Did it happen?
If you look at pitchbook (https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/484831-81) it seems Bluesky closed a whopping $97 million funding round resulting in a $700M valuation in January 2025. VCpedia lists Greylock, alumni ventures and Skyseed as participants (https://vcpedia.com/rounds/5195).
The interesting thing is there are no press releases or other media coverage confirming this financing.
Read on...

"And some people say 'These people, they're not even trying to be British. They come here, they bring their own culture, their food, speak their own language, and try to take over the whole bloody place.'
Dunno. Sounds pretty British to me."
~Trevor Noah
😂
Never before has “I work in the tech industry” sounded so much like “I work in the tobacco industry”
Yet some people keep saying that it is impossible that “with 64 GB of RAM you cannot use mutt while compiling” and they start with the insults.What the fuck is wrong with these people
Y no por cómo termina, es por cómo te sitúa en situación y lo terrible que es lo que tienen que hacer y lo que les hacen si incumplen reglas. Algunos de los diálogos son muy buenos y los protagonistas también a excepción (un poco) del principal, que no me termina de encajar por edad. Al menos no en todos los planos, ojo, pero es un detalle sin importancia.
"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

On the plus side, at least future generations won't have the cognitive skills to judge us harshly.
PRs must not incorporate any material generated by or with the assistance of any so-called "generative AI" tool or LLM.

Y por cierto, si empezáis a buscar "teatro censura PP" el año "top" fue 2023. No han parado pero ese año se vinieron arriba.
Sabiendo como sabía eso lo único que demuestra es un acto de prepotencia más, de los que vemos en los pueblos de la sierra en cuanto pillan poder. Aquí en Cerceda hemos tenido a otra mujer de bien que destrozó la parte cultural que ofrecía el pueblo a bajo precio (y se lo colocó a una empresa que subió la cuota, claro) y se encargó de que no quedase un santo, beato o espíritu afín sin celebración alguna. Ah, y tuvimos escuela de tauromaquia junto con Moralzarzal.
Inciso: entiendo que hablo para conversos pero si Vox pilla poder a nivel de ministerio irá justamente a por minorías, mujeres (no de bien, esas no se tocan), educación y asuntos culturales varios. El resto no le interesa todavía porque no tiene programa político para ello.

Dear friends of #BSDCafe - the BSD Cafe Journal needs some attention.
This isn't the best time for me to revive it myself, and that's exactly why I'm counting on you!
I'm sure you have great ideas, thoughts, projects, and articles that would fit perfectly in that space.
So don’t be shy 🙂
The BSD Cafe Journal is waiting for you!
