For anyone else pissed off about , I suggest cancelling your subscription and getting a Synology NAS. (and get one for whoever you were sharing Netflix with before too)

It's got a nice web interface for downloading stuff (with a search!) and it can stream to all of your devices (on your home network) via the "SMB" protocol.

Just get the cheapest one that has their browser OS thingie.

venting about netflix 

SaaS companies are vile and greedy little leaches. They leach from people that actually create content, and they leach from people that pay for it.

I'm already paying them for their fancy mutli-device package but apparently now I need to fork over more just so that my mom can watch some shitty copaganda show once in a while.

Honestly might just cancel outright and teach my folks how to use something else.

@jalcine @thelinuxEXP side loading and promoting the use of alt stores is a huge feature in the current zeitgeist of locked down app stores. I really wish we could get some more positive press about how being able to choose your own stores and get apps from anywhere and have it be safe because of sandboxing is a good thing!

By the way, we've got new docs up on how to use the protocol handlers in which you can check out here: agregore.mauve.moe/docs/ipfs-p

All you need to get started is to install Agregore and open up the Dev Tools.

My goatsona. Purple hotrod fur, fairy wings to fly around, extra horns, skull mask to summon more goat friends, and taco shoes for fart jumps. 😎😎😎

debugging tech errors IPFS-edition 

Today's episode: Why is my IPFS file sync taking minutes for just a few files?

Problem: distributed.press v1 is taking like 3 minutes just to sync 44 MB of files from a static site and is taking up a strangely large amount of CPU and Disk to process. This then causes the process to be killed which corrupts the IPFS repo and requires manual intervention.

So far my gut feeling is this is due to me using `flush: true` when uploading data to MFS

OMG.

1. Google has some bad summarization telling people that throwing batteries into the ocean is good.
2. News articles were written about this.
3. Bing's summarization interprets these articles as advice to ... throw batteries in the ocean!

🤦

(To clarify: this is classic Bing, not ChatGPT Bing.)

(Also note not everyone gets this result. Other queries that might work: "is throwing a battery in the ocean beneficial", "is throwing a battery in the ocean useful" without quotes)

Maybe AI models destroying search results and trust in digital information will being a resurgence of people depending on librarians to get research information. 😛

Google's Bard demo shows it confidently giving you an incorrect answer to a question, right there in the product announcement.

My daughter is working on an assignment about the benefits and drawbacks of automation right now. She's having a hard time finding reliable sources on the internet.

This is all just great.

Personally, I wish that the "code red" response that ChatGPT inspired at Google wasn't to launch a dozen AI products that their red teams and AI ethicists have warned them not to release, but to combat the tsunami of AI-generated SEO spam bullshit that's in the process of destroying their core product. Instead, they're blissfully launching new free tools to generate even more of it.

Should I live-toot my thinking process when working through stuff some time?

Mostly debugging random nodejs stuff, getting native binaries to build, and maybe a bit of p2p stuff if I'm lucky.

Neat topic

> Why does the Second Law work? And does it even in fact always work, or is it actually sometimes violated? What does it really depend on? What would be needed to “prove it”?

Think on the bright side: if everything is as bad as you think it is with software monopolies making bad decisions, then conditions are prime for someone (you? me?) to go and eat their lunch. A year ago I would have cringed at this sentiment for being hopelessly naive, but in the mean time some ill advised layoffs and a number of baffling strategic decisions brought springtime to the federated web.

Google is *not* the great library of Alexandria, and it is not too big to fail.

What accounts in the eastern hemisphere should I follow so that I can get a steady stream of morning/noon shitposts when it's my bedtime? (usually around 07:00 UTC)
