This is a fun overview of (over)use of LLMs in software engineering Also, just don't. https://youtu.be/KuLUd1UIvVA

I've had enough ai brainrot today to last for a year. I can't even. I don't understand how people can live like this

I really hate Samsung Software

A great writeup of the "federation" bsky currently has. I'll continue using the fediverse as my main source of social media. I am already happy with the content there and care more about getting the social web into mainstream than to be a bit more entertained today dustycloud.org/blog/how-dec...

the new ICEs from DB have a great feature to enrich your fedi browsing experience ✨😂

Apple's Browser Rules Stifle Innovation on iOS, Says UK Regulator

📣 PSA: before trying to send code to merge into aosp (especially if you are implementing a gigantic feature) you need to have had a conversation with someone about it, or you may end up wasting a bunch of your time. Come to think of it, this is just a good practice for code bases you don't own.

Breaking, CMA Provisional Report Just Released: "Apple’s rules appear to be holding back a category of apps known as ‘progressive web apps’ (PWAs) that are lower cost and easier for developers to build since they can run on any operating system" assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673f2d...

this is the key insight threads assumes that people are coming to a platform like twitter/bluesky/threads to see the same sort of influencer content as instagram, and what people are actually here for is the content of Very Online sickos you have to make a platform the sickos want to post on

on mastodon you would've been able to edit this typo

"can you currently (ie: today) use bluesky on 100% third party infrastructure?" it's a very simple yes/no question ---- if the answer is yes: prove it if the answer is not yet: how long? days? months? years? debates? if the answer is no: I am not interested in building community here

Iteresting read by @melkat.blue https://melkat.blog/p/hosting-bskyI might still deploy a PDS somewhere just to play around, but the social web (as in the fediverse, lol) looks like it's the only true federated system we really have rn. I'd like the AP standard to improve and thrive, not bsky or AT

Don’t favor your services or sell Android The US DOJ is going full steam ahead to basically dismantle Google, not just them selling Chrome, but also possibly selling Android

pls add gifs

What's the general opinion on selfhosting a PDS atm? I want to try bsky next to mastodon, and would prefer owning my data from the start. I have a k8s cluster at home running on arm nodes. Will my server be bombarded, or is a PDS selfhostable at home?

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day. The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will bring Eorzea to your phone

I was telling someone at #kubecon my hack for keeping eye contact in videos I don’t think they believed me

So today we played Borderlands 2 (as we tend to do on tuesdays these days) My PC, which has an RTX3080 with 10 GB V-Ram, ran into an out of memory issue. Reminder that this is a 12 year old game

google being forced to sell chrome wasn't on my checklist today 😬😅

testing the new mentioning across networks from the @openvibe.social update

social media hack: when people come into your replies demanding that you argue with them, you can simply not do that

Hosting a LAN party this weekend for my birthday! Looking for out there, batshit recommendations for games we should be downloading. The sillier the better, we all love silly

German #GameDeveloper and publishers on #Steam should take a look if they have filled the age rating form. Otherwise your game might look like this in the store front: Better double check! #GameDev #IndieDev

Atproto nerds, what cool things have you seen people in the community do that could use a shoutout or some help? Boost for reach!

blueskyers fear editing so much

The amount of time that will be wasted by students, and even apparently their grandparents, chasing after fake AI-generated citations is thoroughly depressing

something driving me up the wall about too much of the current coverage of Trump’s insane nominees is the credulity “give them a chance, they might not be as terrible as they’ve been their entire lives or do the awful shit they explicitly promised” there’s optimism and there’s being born yesterday

Our heaters just stopped working. What is wrong with today

After our internet crashed 3 times within 10 minutes, disconnecting the second my discord call reconnected, I have finally had enough. I just ordered a modem to take over that part of the job of the fritzbox that's included in our plan. Let's see if that'll be enough to get a stable connection

So I've been using openvibe for about a day, and two thinga are really making it hard to enjoy. 1. Performance. Both the bluesky and Moshidon app work flawlessly and I feel the 120hz my phones screen can handle. Openvibe feels like 60fps max, and it's really frustrating

“bluesky is an echo chamber” everywhere’s an echo chamber i’m going with the one without cybertruck guys

Hey folks, a reminder: Don't use Gen ai. You can either afford an artist/stock art, or you can't. If you can't, you can make your own art/designs or abstain. Or you can cheaper your entire brand and communicate to your audience that you peddle low-effort garbage by using a plagiarism machine.

Discworld QOTD, from Thief of Time “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”

The officer “allegedly told the women that he needed their phones to confirm they had insurance or to verify their identity.”

Trying to decide what someone means when they say "it's cooked"

the two greatest designs in the history of everything

This is a crosspost from @openvibe.social to mastodon, bluesky and threads 👀 I'm giving it a try to see if bluesky has any content to offer that I'm missing on the fediverse.

Man this thing is tiny

i like weed because it makes me a little dumb and it’s nice to have a break from all the otherworldly knowledge i possess
