@nettings @nixCraft I checked some of the comments in that thread. This one seems pretty descriptive. It cites a blog post by O’Reilly. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1kimr4a/comment/mrj3rno/

«There’s a lot of chatter in the media that software developers will soon lose their jobs to AI. I don’t buy it. It is not the end of programming. It is the end of programming as we know it today.»

How is that NOT an indication that O’Reilly is trying to cash out his good name on AI? The warning is warranted.

@dalias @JessTheUnstill I meant it as using an app that only communicates locally still is a hidden subscription.

@dalias @JessTheUnstill I have Philips Hue lights because you can manage them completely locally, as I don’t want a service.

Now the app is nagging me to make an account, saying it’ll be impossible to use the app without the account later on.

@fm_volker @forteller 4.8, de forventer å spare 1 milliarder på dette.

@burnoutqueen @dalias “Before I knew he was a facist”, just show you haven’t done your homework.

He didn’t go crazy. He didn’t become a facist. He always was. What’s changed is you became aware of it.

@markfoden @pluralistic Which makes it so annoying that the author of this piece is trying to raise 30 million to build his own club where he promised to not block the fire exits.

Because the Masto-club that’s already on the other side of the street, with functioning fire exits, isn’t cool enough.

@liztai I’ve been told Vietnamese call it Lunar New Year, and hate the term Chinese New Year. I don’t know about Spring Festival, I’ll ask about that next chance I have.

@dalias I follow that guy! What'd he do?

@The_Turtle_Moves @cR0w @dalias We get Nanolearning links, which contain our mandatory security training.

I couldn’t help roll my eyes when the topic was “don’t click links in emails”

@eaton @jwz I can’t find that quote (the one about murdering) in the source. Is it Stallman’s quote or yours?

#FediBlock
A new instance, nederland.gay, has tech[.]lgbt listed as a “bubble instance”. After inquiring about this, a nederland.gay admin, Alex, sent me an agitated DM informing me that they don’t view tech[.]lgbt as racist, that they don’t agree with everything t.l does, and that they received help from this instance regarding hosting and moderation.

They also wrote something nonspecific, but I think aimed at Ro.

@alex @tillshadeisgone Het leek me leuk om te joinen, maar toen zag ik dat jullie samenwerken met tech[.]lgbt. Die instance heb ik geblokkeerd wegens racisme. Racisme is wel tegen jullie regels. Dat lijkt mij een tegenstelling?

@GossiTheDog ..does this work?

@atomicpoet AI + Policy decisions is also a problem, no matter where the AI runs.

AI is inherently racist and sexist, so when it gets a say about anyone’s life, that’s bad.

@atomicpoet Oh yes, definitely. But governments do have the resources to set up their own AI without the public cloud as well, so I do want to distinguish between AI that you use for yourself, and AI that is used to rule over you.

The Dutch tax authorities used AI to identify fraud. It went exactly how you'd expect it'd go, and this was before cloud AI became popular.

@mjg59 So this would be a programming language without documentation, with a closed source compiler?

I think programs written in it are open source when you share the input (description of how you want it to behave), but I wouldn't want to be a package maintainer for it.

@thomasfuchs The 24 besides February is the year?

@emilygorcenski I did automate. I can confirm your suspicion. The times the automation breaks and I have to fix it, takes more time than just doing it manually.

@emilygorcenski Was this manual ordering or debugging the ACME pipeline and waiting for the cooldown?

I did the latter last week.

Is #Firefox removed from #FreeBSD #ports? pkg search firefox just yields firefox-esr, and pkg upgrade would remove firefox without putting anything back.
