chatgpt 

chatgpt is really being used as the new "i copied your question into Google and copy-pasted the first result with no verification or any value". I want off mr bones' wild ride

bank shit 

fucking hell i added a recurring bank transfer of 5 whole euros a month to my German N26 account, because it has a mastercard number I can use with Backblaze, and now I have to fill in a form because they're worried I might be doing international tax evasion, with explicit focus on if I'm totally sure im not secretly a US citizen that's required to pay taxes to them??

ChatGPT shit, quora 

Just realized that Quora released an overly confident GPT-based thing as well...

I guess they're trying to make their userbase redundant?

tech, ranty, microservices and "serverless" 

Amazon: "The move from a distributed microservices architecture to a monolith application helped achieve higher scale, resilience, and reduce costs."

Oh look, they've finally acknowledged what some of us have been saying ever since *checks notes* Amazon started pushing the microservices/serverless hype on everybody

But nooooo, why would you ever listen to anyone who *isn't* a megacorporation, surely they can't be more competent than Amazon!

@aurynn @mike I think these problems with defederation and misbehaving admins would be much less severe if there weren't large instances that have users who don't even know who their mods/admins are. The "99% of users on that.domain are totally innocent" objection to defederation wouldn't apply if the instance were small enough for nearly everyone to have had some direct interaction with their admin at some point. There'd both be fewer innocent people to affect, and they'd be more likely to have actually noticed the behavior themselves and had a chance to make a choice in how to deal with it.

All of these “defederation is bad” takes are, in essence, saying that instance administrators exist to be vanity domain names and that a single contiguous fediverse is both possible and desired.

I reject both of these premises. Defederate early, defederate often, build the anarchic consensus you want to see.

@TakeV I could see that evolve into a whole series. Dvorak the Explorak.

This place hits pretty much every hateful trait bad instances have. Be careful if you actually go to that site. It is quite nasty.

Shout out to the person that sent me the info. Big props.

@f0x ikr. I fscking hate that you can't unbind that, because I keep closing the entire tab when I just want to delete a single word :(

That happens once every few weeks.

fuck. thought i finally found a way to run my code-server in firefox instead of chromium, but there's still no fucking way to unbind ctrl-w in firefox, so can't use that as a vim keybind....

@schratze didn't i see you post an hour or so ago about how terrible this cat is

(i understand)

👀 gts-dev.pixie.town/@f0x still needs some work, especially for mobile, and some more accessibility tweaks, but it's shaping up to something!
