I heard everything Bluesky-adjacent went down at the same time Jack Dorsey's "I rebuilt Twitter but better, I promise" service went down. Yet I heard from Bluesky itself that it's federated.

That's like my federated instance being dragged offline by an outage on John Mastodon's OG instance.

hey, unlike bluesky, my website functions, because I wrote it by hand with no "vibes" involved, and it does exactly one thing (displays information and unwarranted opinions)

@campuscodi FYI, this thing is almost certainly slop. Also see the nonexistent OAuth8 (??) and other proposed specs, none of which exist.

A hard ban on LLM/"AI" use in a FLOSS project is the moderate stance. I am not a moderate person.

Giving space to these machines is throwing the millions of people whose work they stole, the millions of people who suffer under their crawlers' assault under the bus.

We do not throw each other under the bus in a civil society. I hope you understand this to be the bare minimum.

I do not consent to my likeness being used to create an AI homunculus after my death

I do consent to my voice being used to create an UTAUloid and performing duets with Hatsune Miku

The whole 'Take Back Tech' crap can be summarized thusly:

"We need to take email back from Google!"

Great. This is correct. So what is your plan to deal with spam, distribute your SMTP, and provide IMAP for clients? How are you going to educate people about how email actually works and help them build their own or build out alternatives?

"What?! No! We meant everyone should pay this other company for email!"

re: usgov, taxes, legal/uspol 

Also, the tax prep site didn't show me terms & conditions until AFTER paying, & gave me no path to a refund without a forced agreement. Pretty sure that's de-jure illegal, but de-facto clowns with guns run the circus.

So do I accept forced binding arbitration, or do I opt out in favor of forced jury-less trials in the jurisdiction of Dallas County & North Texas?

re: usgov, taxes 

Holy slop, all the AI fuck integration is too much!

And this marks the first time I've had to fight off *all* the "modern website" pop-ups throughout the whole filing process. Who the hell wants to subscribe to a newsletter in the middle of entering tax return data, especially after saying no on login? Why would you want to cover up one unwanted pop-up with a *second* unwanted pop-up just two seconds later?

Next year, I'm sending paper forms USPS.

genai, humorous 

many free software projects are banning contributions that were made partially or fully by generative models

the genie is out of the bottle, and we can't get it back in. genai bans are here to stay and will eventually take over the whole industry

don't get left behind! ban genai on your project as well!

usgov, taxes 

Today is tax day in the US, the deadline for individuals to:

1. take numbers the gov gave us,
2. perform arithmetic the gov already performed,
3. give the gov other numbers it already knows,
4. pray our arithmetic matched its, and
5. pray it made our employers withhold too much money from our paychecks so the gov owes us the refund it knows it does.

ten minutes is all it takes to lose substantive cognitive function.

You don't have to apologise for being white, it's tangibly completely useless and still centring your experience and feelings. Just be *actively* anti-racist. It's not difficult 🙄
