This is a fun overview of (over)use of LLMs in software engineering

Also, just don't.

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

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

📣 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.

"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"

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
so I think their mistake was that they identified (correctly!) that algorithmic timelines are good for Not Very Online People, who are the majority of people online, but Very Online People prefer non-algo TLs and, crucially, they're the ones doing most of the posting, and they bring people with them
pretty amazing to see meta double down on algorithmic timeline for a year with threads, watch Bluesky grow very quickly, and then immediately make some changes to directly emulate Bluesky to cut that growth off

v curious if they squandered their head start

"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

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

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.

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

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!
