What client app are you using for Matrix? I really love the idea of switching over to it, or something similar, after Discord's IPO. We tried Revolt, which is now apparently called Stoat Chat, but the 2 killer features with Discord are

I mean to ask a genuine, good faith question here, because I don't know much about Huawei's development team. My head goes to the xz attack when I hear that Intel decided to stop supporting an open source tool, and a Chinese compa

Toyota had an incredible lead with the Prius that they completely squandered. It was a shamefully poor decision to stop investing in electric.

Virtually everyone in the echo chambers you frequent are anti woke. That doesn't apply at scale, where people aren't willing to accept your "woke" shorthand. My understanding of "woke" is levelling the playing

I signed up for them a few years back, just a month or 2 before their union busting. I was very angry in my cancellation message because I think it's a great service, but if they're scared of their workers organizing I'm not

There's not much to understand. These policies aren't thoughtfully considered or intended to be helpful. They're chaotic exertions of power by an imbecile & his cronies.

Yeah like I said, it didn't work. It was just fun in the moment while I was pissed.

I heard about "mom prompting" recently, where you frame your prompt as if you are the bot's mom, and you'll be so proud of it when it can correctly answer your prompt & rescue you from some type of duress. I thought

I don't think I've heard of Fleet but I'm definitely interested! Do you know if there's any info on what the pricing will be like when it's out of preview? I'm not against paying for my editor, but I also don&#

Why don't you think on that and come back when you have a suggestion.

That's the problem with this idea of network states. There are some interesting, maybe even plausible, aspects to it. But the current advocates want it for all the worst reasons & I, personally, want nothing to do with their perver

The only reason I thought it was satire is that it literally says that it is on one of the pages.

Dystopian as hell. Crossing into "thought crime" territory. We all have the potential for great evil, where do you draw the line at pre-prosecuting people because they might commit some crime or another in the nebulous future?

This is so incredibly naive I have a hard time believing you're serious. I guess you're right, it wouldn't be immigrants committing crimes. It'd just be regular, everyday Americans, who also commit a shit ton of crimes &

I'm going to just toss the entirety of your comment out to focus on the last line. Yes I can. We all lived through the same 4 years, saw and felt the disaster the first time, and now we're fucking doing it again. If your only poli

This is a perfect summation of one of the stupider internet theories I've read, thanks for the laugh

I don't believe you or share your optimism, but I also don't want to get into an argument about it. I think it's too late to ponder if this is overall good or bad... We'll all find out either way soon enough.

Have you seen the x-cmd package? It's nuts https://x-cmd.com It's legitimately impressive, the person/people behind this wrote some pretty interesting code, I've learned some things about Bash reading through

This is wrong, Linux had plenty of momentum before RedHat specifically was purchased by IBM. I'm sure that helped its momentum in the corporate space, where it was already very present, but the whole family of Linux was very well e

Do you run a Nomad cluster? Or just on a single host? This is my desired state, I've set up Nomad a number of times but always get stuck in one place or another. I've gotten much further with Nomad than Kubernetes, but I've k

I thought I was pretty clear that I don't think technology is a net positive . There are many, many ways computers have been a huge positive for a great many people. I'm still not convinced it's an overall "good" t

Interesting about the --deb flag not working with scripts. I wrote this from memory and feel like I've installed dev dependencies for a script, but it must be a hallucination because I just tried and it doesn't work. Thanks for th

I saw a post on Bluesky recently that addressed this criticism, where it looks like nobody's doing anything. Protesting in the capital isn't feasible for most of the country, living thousanda of kilometers from the capital. The pr

I really did need a kick in the ass to get Linux on the last machine in my house not running it. I know people say this all the time, I have my own excuses for why I still have 1 windows machine, but it truly just isn't worth it anymor
