  • Finally some good news from #Signal 🥳

    Jump

  • They already lost users in authoritarian countries like Russia or China, where Signal is blocked and you can't get an SMS via a VPN, so registration or logging in with 2FA becomes impossible.

  • Mark Zuckerberg's Pivot to AI Is Blowing Up in His Face Spectacularly

    Jump

  • Why so? Hoarding money, as well as burning them, is practically equivalent to returning them to the treasury. Spending them wastes labour.

  • xkcd #3279: Main Span

    Jump

  • Surface area is 895844 m², Dycron weights 4 ounces per sailsmakers yard, or 0.171 kg per m². 153458 kg, so additional 38365 m³ required, supports should also be relatively light. Quite negligible compared to, for instance, cars weight.

  • xkcd #3279: Main Span

    Jump

  • At 99°C (210°F) the lift power of hot air balloon is 0.25 kg per m³. Pillars supporting a four kilometre long suspension bridge section are under 200 MN vertical load, or 20 million kg. The air balloon would have to be 80 million m³ large, or 534 m (⅓mi) in diameter.

  • Russian man buys $1,100 RTX 5070 Ti and gets a water bottle instead

    Jump

  • The decision to record the entire process could prove vital if the buyer seeks a refund. The footage begins before the package is opened and captures the pickup-point employee handing it over, making it much harder to suggest the customer swapped the card himself.

    How are you going to distinguish truth from AI, deepfakes, or just lies?

    Jump

  • We've had a nice run of the world where photos and videos could be used as proofs of the reports and everyone with a camera could be a trusted journalist (about 1895–2025). This world is now gone. Just like in 1800s, now you either trust someone's words or don't, and reputation of the individual is the only thing you might consider. Established newspapers are relevant again, citizen journalism is dying.

  • Big Tech Told Kids to Code. The Jobs Didn’t Follow.

  • Well, writing bash scripts is sometimes useful in everyday live.

  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

    Jump

  • What else can it possibly be?

  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

    Jump

  • The mission of Codeberg is to kill GitHub. If people won't be able to transfer ALL their repos over, not concerning themselves with what is compatible, that would be substantially harder to achieve.

  • Beyond CAPTCHAs: How do we keep human‑pretending bots out of the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Em dashes are the correct way to type—substituting them with hyphens is a typographical mistake.

    Also, look up Human or Not game.

  • Beyond CAPTCHAs: How do we keep human‑pretending bots out of the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Most low-cost and primitive bots. It costs nothing for ChatGPT to pretend to be a human in text. Are you sure they aren't still there, lurking? Look up survivor bias.

    I remember encountering my first request to write an essay in order to join an instance. I was flabbergasted and chose an instance without this madness and it appeared this instance was shadowbanned by major ones. Was close to giving up on Fediverse at this point.

  • Codeberg Divides

    Jump

  • If there won't be a one “default” place for laypeople to go to, the project won't catch on.

    Bluesky got popular because they had this place. Pixelfed got somewhat popular because they maintained a “central” instance. Matrix had matrix.org.

    PeerTube, Lemmy and most of the Fediverse are niche geek places because they have many equally poorly-funded instances.

  • Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects

    Jump

  • Production. Meat production (factory farming) is the largest CO2 source.

  • Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects

    Jump

  • The 870 tonnes of CO2 the E network now produces for yearly operation is equivalent to eating 290000 cheeseburgers, as much as the world eats burgers in one day and one hour.

    Is a FOSS decentralized peer-supported backup service feasible?
