@m455 @VeilidNetwork @spritely Veilid seems quite interesting but the tech stack doesn't match me. Hope they eventually get more bindings for other stacks.

@m455 I will be more active here on the fedi as well. I miss you and everyone else as well :D If we don't occupy federated and decentralised spaces, we lose them. Expect coffee photos here from tomorrow onwards :D

@mntmn they are all in a wicker basket, like candy.

After Zuck & Friends recent hatespeech, I guess it is time to put even more efforts into #decentralization

Pity I dislike how expensive and chatty #activitypub protocol is. Maybe it is time for me to get back into some #SecureScuttlebutt #SSB development.

@mcepl I don't think you understood it at all. The TL;DR of the article is that Lua is a toolbox to be adapted, and that the community favours mechanisms and tools over features. There is zero claims about hate whatsoever.

Regarding to your PR, I think your tone there was not right for someone who is trying to contribute to FOSS (I read the mailing list exchange). You literally patronised and antagonised the maintainer because they didn't want your PR. That is not the way.

@danie10 what kind of plugin or script you're planning for DaVince Resolve?

searching for reviews of an app on YouTube is yielding a lot of auto-generated videos that are just text-to-voice AI bullshit. Guess YouTube is also dead.

@mcepl you are not lying, you were not given an option to tell the truth. Those are not the same. You're doing fine. Also, fuck those dark patterns.

When I wrote that post, my blog was SSG generated by Pollen (which is ultimately running on the #Racket runtime). That was a great system and it served me well for years, but it had its shortcomings and eventually I decided to replace it with something simpler. I went with a dynamic #Lua site.

The new system is good old CGI based scripts written in #Lua using a #SQLite file as source of truth. About 1169 lines for the whole CMS including my #IndieAuth #Micropub and my #MetaWeblog endpoint.

Seeing many posts about
#Lua

#programming
language on my feeds and socials recently. Very often the comments on these posts tend to fall into the same rants and misunderstandings. In 2021 I wrote about it in:

That is a good read for anyone puzzling about Lua.

If at some point Apple becomes more obnoxious about AI (am not happy with Apple intelligence at all), I will look into maybe going back to either Linux or Haiku or even NetBSD.

The only app that done this right is BBEdit. They have AI worksheets if you want, but it is up to you to configure and use them. They have no nagging screen and it is not on your face. Which is why I am keeping it as my main editor.

Gonna slowly switch away from Github for new projects. Tired of SaaS managed by others, will go towards self-hosted Fossil SCM cause that is good enough for me.

I'm literally slowly switching away from products cause they keep shipping this bs and keep trying to make me use it. They never offer a "switch off AI forever" toggle, they have stupid dark patterns such as "decide later" which is a coward option.

So tired of AI being forced into every single product I use. I don't want these features. I never used them, I have no desire to use them.

If you want to ship AI on a product, please make it opt-in. Don't keep nagging me to use whatever bullshit feature you came up with cause AI hype is high.

@jalcine holy fuck, them too?

Whats the current state of the art in terms of #ActivityPub #development libraries?

Are you developing a new ActivityPub-based project and in love with your stack? Does it include some FOSS AP library that you enjoy using? Please, tell me what it is.

I'm considering doing a new project with a friend and we're trying to grok what people are using or if everyone is reimplementing AP server-to-server from scratch.

Please, consider boosting so I can get some answers, thank you.
