  • For those on Android, check out Imagepipe on f-droid. It's got a workflow that I really like: "share"ing an image to it automatically strips metadata and re-triggers the "share to which app?" Android prompt with the stripped image file instead of the original.

  • It's been a while since I set up my runner, and I have it on my personal desktop (which is wayyyyyy beefier than the VPS I host my forgejo instance on), but I'm pretty sure I was able to specify that only my user account can trigger actions to be run on this runner. What I'm getting at is that there is a decent amount of granularity for forgejo action permissions; you should be able to find a balance that suits you between "no actions at all" and "anyone can run any code they desire on your server".

  • From what I understand, it is the arch approach but with package binaries compiled to target newer hardware instead of the largest set of hardware. Their homepage claims they enable several performance-type optimizations in both the kernel and common system libraries. It's not surprising to me that protondb, a repository of "how well can I get this game to run on Linux through proton?" reports, is studying an outsized proportion of users on CachyOS.

  • Very disappointing. It would be nice for them to release even just the server binary so we can self host the handshake/peering/relay part... I guess I'll have to check out their "Remote Development" plugin/tools to see how exactly they differ. Maybe it's time to try decompiling the CodeWithMe plugin when they release it to prepare for the full sunset of the tool?

  • Alternatively, how many of them have invested in one or more of these LLM makers and are ready to torpedo their own business as long as it makes the share price go up/feeds more authentic training data?

  • Interesting read, but boy does this journalist have a ... different read on things than I do.

    People talk a lot about the protocols that power Bluesky vs. ActivityPub, because we're nerds and we believe deep in our hearts that the superior protocol will win.

    IMO it's the exact opposite; we talk about this because we want the best protocol to win, this time, while knowing full well that usually it doesn't.

    Of course search was broken because all OSS social tools must have one glaring lack of functionality.

    My understanding is that search on the microblogging side of the fedi is intended to be "broken" (from the view of someone expecting a Twitter-style search); hashtags are for opting-in to global discoverability whilst without them your posts are intended to be stumbled upon and/or passed around rather than sought out.

    If the American press had given me 20 minutes of airtime I could have convinced everyone they don’t want to get involved with Greenland. We’re not tough enough as a people to survive in Greenland, much less “take it over”.

    I doubt that trump supporters cheering on the USA throwing their weight around like the world's bully-in-chief would be receptive to such a message.

    I can't tell if I'm just too deep in the fedi-culture weeds, or if the article really is confidently ignorant.

  • It's not chatbot psychosis, it's 'math and engineering and neuroscience'

  • They aren't fediverse-first, and they're French-based/French-focused/French-language-only, but Blast is an online, video-first news station that hosts their own peertube instance (https://video.blast-info.fr/) where they upload everything as well as putting their videos on YouTube. They also have a mastodon account where they share everything they publish: https://mamot.fr/@blast_info.

    So, it's definitely possible to have news on the fediverse, but I don't think we're at a point where it can be exclusively on the fedi - even if the stations' website is ActivityPub-enabled, the majority of the people that a news station would want to reach just aren't browsing the fediverse, let alone have accounts here.

  • Flashy and pretty, but as a UI I find it places too much visual emphasis on form over function / style over substance. The biggest example I can give us that I don't think the bright neon blue left border on posts should be so much more eye-catching than the post titles. If I were to change things, I would probably try to find a dimmer shade of blue for them, and/or add some additional decoration to post titles so that they more clearly are the first thing my eyes are drawn to when scanning the page.

  • Your last paragraph reminds me of the following series of YouTube videos that goes over how to build a "correct" fluid simulation, starting at the quantum mechanical level (iirc): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMoTR49uj6ld32zLVWmcGXaW7w2ey7Vh4.

    Multiple scales of complexity and interaction, that's way too computationally intensive to just directly stimulate how reality works, and so each scale has to be carefully "averaged out", in a sense, to end up with a simulation that is cheap enough to run yet still behaves realistically and reproduces as many nuances as possible.

  • You can use me after free() all you want, babe

  • Yeah, go big or go home with this kind of stuff. Give me some Linux kernel source code, maybe even some well-known RFC!

  • Yup! YAML is defined as a "strict superset" of JSON (or at least, it was the last time I checked).

    It's a lot like markdown and HTML; when you want to write something deeply structured and somewhat complex you can always drop back/down to the format with explicit closing delimiters and it just works™.

  • Quinces are not that edible when raw. Best cooked as veg alongside meat, or jellied into gummies, in my experience.

  • Now you're thinking with portals primes!

  • From what I've heard, Mein Kampf is similarly drivel. Don't know if that's comforting or even more depressing...

  • So which is it? Are developers 55% more productive, or are they losing 20% of their time to inefficiencies and burning out at record rates?

    The answer: executives are measuring—and reporting—what makes their stock price rise, not what’s actually happening on the ground.

    Or if you want to get slightly more conspiratorial: the execs are all buying shares in OpenAI, Nvidia, and the like - so now they're more interested in ordering people to use LLM tools so that these stocks rise in price, even if it means sabotaging their own company.
