Are there any moderation tools or groups offering moderation support for projects?

fruitycoder ,

Any discussion on making it ActivityPub enabled?

I didn't see any, but would be curious if anyone else had.

fruitycoder ,

IF its outputs are considered derivative works.

fruitycoder ,

The problem is the legal system and thus IP law enforcement is very biased towards very large corporations. Until that changes corporations will continue, as they already were, exploiting.

I don't see AI making it worse.

fruitycoder ,

Advances in Arm chips make the journey of porting software look better for devs, once a project starts porting it gets easier for other architectures (like riscv).

That and silicon competition is good. Keeps them forced to produce better or cheaper products to compete.

fruitycoder ,

What if we do all this and all we got was more sustainable ways of living where depended less on complex geopolitical agreements with dictators? That would suck right /s

fruitycoder ,

Wait is this trying to suggest just renting is the same thing as a library?

The benifit of a library is you share the cost as a group and get some fractional use of it. Like books that you only really need access to for small amount of time.

Its not the same as say Amazon owning the book rental space and choosing, without any choice on your point, on what books are there or who could get access to them.

fruitycoder ,

I agree with the first part, but they are using the terms interchangeable of renting and borrowing. Talking about renting and subscription in the same vain as borrowing.

I just don't want the very cool idea of a library economy to be conflated with the "you own nothing" subscription/rent everything economy.

They both have similarities but the actual ownership matters IMHO or else you get rent seeking/enshittification.

fruitycoder ,

Excessive memory cost being place to target development. Got it.

fruitycoder , (edited )

Nix, guix, flatpak, and OSI images are all better "universal" packages managers on sheer technical merits while also not be a vendor locked proprietary solution.

Snaps are worse than what Redhat is doing.

fruitycoder ,

Thx!

fruitycoder ,

MR accepted. Thx!

fruitycoder ,

Incentives vs direct board control Google and Facebook can and have said no before.

fruitycoder ,

Companies like google pressuring governments in India and Mexico to crack down on unions and work protections there is what it looks like for them and limitations on immigration (and the freedoms of those do immigrate).

Free market of labor is never the real source of downward market pressure, IMHO. Its the veryil intentional policies ment to keep labor desperate.

fruitycoder ,

YouTube was going down that route but whole terriost pipeline deal durning the hight of the war on terror put big breaks on it. TikTok doesn't. Its actually wild how vastly different friends of mines tiktoks could be. Just all the most extreme version of anything their into. Had them all asking completely nuts things thinking it was everywhere. Like no sis I don't about the witches that are supposed to be doing something tonight, that was just an old qanon thread with new dates, wth is boy love anime?

fruitycoder ,

They have get a warrent to force getting data and I know of no legal obligation for platforms to change algorithms to promote or demote content. Even the twitter files showed that twitter employees voluntarily agreed to work with federal departments, but had no obligations to

fruitycoder ,

Long live OpenBao

fruitycoder ,

NGL I would not have assumed that

fruitycoder ,

Oh yeah I forgot about the Esperanto inspiration!

fruitycoder ,

Why is Linux unique in this? Windows, Mac, Solaris, and BSD all don't follow that nomenclature.

Also get why the FSF nags a bit, many in industry would be very happy to remove the FSF all together and focus on maximizing software development for corporations instead of maximising freedom for users.

fruitycoder ,

The problem is EVERY org has that problem. Its a rules for rulers problem.

The "people" are very far links in the chain of people that actually sign budgets and do the actual work for a lot of this. I even know people who switched from government to contracting with government because they felt like the incentives for the government side was to hire buerocrats and justify past choices and not actually help people.

Like no doubt most privatization schemes are just fucked because they just privatized the government ass kissing and also sometimes because what kind of fucking market were hoping for in the first place.

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I've enjoyed Mark Rober's videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn't sitting right with me...

fruitycoder ,

I mean they're have been drone attacks already. Like it has already killed people, with Ukrainian forces uses them and the Houthis attacks in the Red Sea.

I mean its like they are comparing SciFi tech for warfare, though some people like that too shrug

fruitycoder ,

Honestly its why the US manufacturing "Renaissance" (I'll believe it when we see it) is so focused on hyper automation. We can force ethicnic groups into forced labour at the scale the CCP can nor can we force working conditions down the same with their anti union laws (and that is saying something US union laws are horribly biased towards employers).

fruitycoder ,

Wireguard for network access, istio gateway for exposing services, and keycloak for SSO. I want to experiment with Teleport for more fine grained access to my services.

If I had more exposed services I would mess with crowdsec for some another firewall rule set and maybe even exposing it through a TOR service proxy.

fruitycoder ,

I wonder if there is cludgy workaround to make groups just another user for the rest of the fediverse

fruitycoder ,

The level of expected support for those is a lot greater.

fruitycoder ,

Disaggregated compute might be able to leverage this in the data center. I could use this to get my server, gaming PC and home theater to share memory bandwidth on top of storage, heck maybe some direct memory access between distributed accelerators.

Gotta eat those PCI lanes somehow

fruitycoder ,

The transiever and network processing stack at some latency as well.

fruitycoder ,

For sure, if you need paid support (which if you aren't a tech giant, a fledgling startup, or a system with no need for uptime metrics, you probally do) the you have:

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (aka SLES and only still Libre option in this category unfortunately)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
  • Ubuntu are

if don't need paid support then Debian, OpenSuse, Rocky, or Fedora are all good picks.

fruitycoder ,

I do want to stipulate, that the US is full of different cultures. I don't want to make it seem like we don't have tons of shared culture here, but I feel its a disservice to ignore how many different cultures make the US

fruitycoder ,

I mean even native american nations within the US have cultural differences.

I wish I had a metric to go by, like number of shared common past times, language, legal structures, life goals, etc.

Like China Town vs a minnonite community vs the bayou vs rual Midwest vs New York vs Atlanta vs Islanders vs Indians on the Res vs Inuits vs Cuban Americans vs Mexican Americans is just a awesome variety to me. I've had the pleasure working with people in all those places and it really destroys the notion of "common sense" because depending how you are raised it really changes what you think is common.

You do have the melting pot effect multiplied by living in the era of mass communication and rapid transport too. So one person maybe surprised that you having handled a rattle snake or wrestled a gator or shot a machine gun or gone surfing, but you can talk about what just happened on game of thrones or the news.

fruitycoder ,

I really wish there was a more sensible path from WYSIWYG sheets to full programing language and database. Heck even better find a way to make calculation description procs that can be ran as separate functions for better scalability

fruitycoder ,

Could be they just think there is productivity shortfall and current workforce + plus AI will help meet it. Or just lieing for PR.

With out more data its just guessing though

fruitycoder ,

41% execs think that a huge amount of class power will go from workers in general to AI specialists (and probally the companies they make or that hire them).

I personally can't wait for a lot these businesses that bet on the wrong people to replace turn around and form new competition but with this new tech filling in the gaps of middle management, hr, execs, etc.

I mean its fucking meme, but an AI assisted workplace democracy seems alright to me on paper (the devils in details).

fruitycoder ,

From unity to gnome for Wayland support from gnome to KDE because of painful stutterstthough now I use both on wayland, just dep3nding on which syst3m I'm on at th3 time.

Great DEs over all, though in excited to try outt cosmic once I get past some systems projects :)

fruitycoder ,

I really want to see more from the commune-os to make matrix communities more publically accessible or even selectivily. The AP bridge especially

fruitycoder ,

I think their discord is bridged to Matrix

"Introducing HP brick protection program, for a low cost subscription of <whatever we feel like at the time> we will make sure you or your printer aren't hit with bricks through windows*, you would want that happen would you?

*only specialty HP branded bricks are covered"

fruitycoder ,

Its the little everyday things being done right and consistently that let's us handle the bigger things.

fruitycoder ,

Special cable trays for your specific setup? Opencompute's rack parts?

fruitycoder ,

Definitly seems like a good lesson in that some interesting urban planning alone won't fix every issue. A take that maybe more biased from my perspective, that an over emphasis on amenities over production (that ultimately pays for the amenities and the rest of peoples financially fufiled wants) is probably detrimental to both

fruitycoder ,

Unskilled labor is a myth but Boeing leadership bought into it. You can codify a lot but eventually with too much churn even the knowledge of the docs, and automation gets lost. Let alone the knowledge to improve or maintain that code. In software the idea "code rots" is true for a reason.

fruitycoder ,

Watching CSPAN is weird now. It used to be more boring but some the more recent ones have felt I was watching a behind the scenes show where each person was saying things so perfectly crafted for sound bites they seem incongruent with what someone else would say.

Israel quietly rolled out a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip (www.theverge.com)

Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company...

fruitycoder ,

Attempts at adversial ai tatoo, face masks and clothing have been done before. Basically exploiting the model not having a deeper understanding of the world so you can trick it with specific visual artifacts.

fruitycoder ,

I remember being so disappointed in "plug in hybrids" when I saw the range on electric they had. For me my work commute I'd almost get noth8ng from the electric side of.

fruitycoder ,

My thoughts were sandboxing, so run it in a container with only predefined hooks out. That way you know what parts of the system a theme is wanting to change or access (think flatpak).

I do like the use of subset languages to reduce attack surfaces (eBPF comes to mind as an example definitely not a solution to here those lol).

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

fruitycoder ,

Market security maybe
What's next im not allowed to read the EULA because i may come up with nefarious ways to still use the service?

fruitycoder ,

Kansas passed a law that prohibited any additional restrictions on blades as well
