@mauve The Master replied: "That programmer has mastered the Tao. They've gone beyond the need for design; they do not become angry when the system crashes, but accept the universe without concern. They have gone beyond the need for documentation; they no longer cares if anyone else sees their code. They've gone beyond the need for testing; each of their programs are perfect within themselves, serene and elegant, their purpose self-evident. Truly, they have entered the mystery of Tao."
I probably wouldn't need to do so mucb heinous necromancy on code if I just stuck to the happy path. But also I want an un-google chromium for android that also removes this auto updater thing. 👻
Doing enough software necromancy means being able to track down the one line among millions to keep your build progressing despite no stack trace pointing to where that line is.

Every time I read that another tech CEO wants to make his company into an Everything App with passport-rigorous real-world ID of users, I think of how much I hate it when people try to send me actual important communication via Facebook messenger.
Every tech CEO thinks he's going to be dictator of his own little corporate state, but really we're just all going to be more isolated because all our family members chose (or got hired by) different walled gardens and never just send an email.

dragon lady next to me at the second life rave was too close and her wings kept clipping through my player model. I didn't mind but she apologied each and every time it happened. chat was filled up with hundreds of variations of "oop sowwie >_<!! xoxo" and "uaah! not again! orz" by the end of the night
Linux is pretty swell. I need to simulate a spotty wifi and there's a few tools out there for setting up hotspots and messing with their connection speed / reliability

@mauve @forgejo Still in foundational stages of implementation, see the road map https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md

MacOS: "wow you've put a lot of text in this text field on this web page, but I'm going to hide the scrollbars because they aren't aesthetically pleasing"
Me: "but I need to scroll back to the start of this long line I've put in this web form"
MacOS: "if you start horizontally scrolling, I'll make the scrollbars appear for you"
Me: slowly starts 2 finger scrolling to the right to get back to the start of the line
Safari: "Trackpad gesture for 'back' detected, say goodbye to your data while I load the previous page"
So what's the deal with @forgejo ? Is it actually federating between instances? It's not obvious from the docs whether it is or what's left before it does.

In light of GitHub going full genAI agents, which will likely lead to a flood of garbage PRs that will make dependabot nags a joke:
Would other foss maintainers with projects on GitHub be interested in some kind of event where we all get together and try moving our projects over to @Codeberg?
I’m thinking of it as a way to both promote our foss projects, provide mutual support during the moves, find solutions to small cuts we run into along the way, and just generally have fun together?
Boosts and ideas welcome!
If anyone is interested in talking more about this or participating, even if you’re not a core maintainer for a project, I’ve created Discord and Matrix places we can start chatting in: https://discord.gg/fcSeuv56qp and https://matrix.to/#/%23nohub:matrix.org
Recommendation systems are so funny. I looked up how to do fourier transforms like 5 months ago and it keeps trying to feed me more. It's like Noh Face from spirited away trying to offer bits of gold.
In this case Ubuntu 22.04 and Python 3.11 seems to be doing the trick. 🤪
Fuck I really love that the reader mode works more consistently in Agregore now 💜
The hardest problem in computer science is figuring out what the correct version of Ubuntu and Python should be for any given project to compile. 🤪

Great post about the downsides of relying on #ai code generation.

> The experience of using an LLM to solve a problem is very similar to using voice-control like Alexa or Siri. You ask it to do something, and when it does the wrong thing, you're left explaining yourself in greater and greater detail until you might as well have solved the problem yourself.

Your future doctor is using ChatGPT to pass medical school, so you better start riding a bike and eating healthy now.
