Ok fine, let's do this.

@RenewedRebecca @baldur Oh I know. I was there for that too. I was just trying to make an attempt at some light-hearted gallows humor 😉

@baldur "That now the only thing needed to get working software is to describe clearly what you want"

Ah, so our jobs are safe is what I'm hearing. 😂

@siege I'd be happy if they just picked Natasha Lyonne to narrate Civilization VII

@Dee Wait, if Linux distros are a gender, and text editors are also a gender, does that mean that gender is a multidimensional construct?

*takes notes furiously in vim*

A reminder that the guy who just got fired from OpenAI also wanted to scan everyone's eyeball with some sort of orb in exchange for Worldcoin, his pet crypto project. They told him that he was absolutely not allowed to do this in the US so he started spending a bunch of time in Africa and Southeast Asia in the hopes of finding enough suckers for his program.

Now keep in mind I do this for fun. I do not have any designs to doing this for a living. I play games but I also like to chat with people. So this is basically an expensive hobby for me and I'd like to make sure things don't spiral out of control.

I use #Linode for hosting and I have no complaints so far. The server hosting is about $48/mo for 4 VCPUs. This is because when I do a live stream, the transcoding process eats up two full CPUs easily.

That makes up the bulk of the cost. (cont'd)

I've got a few months of hosting a #peertube instance and have learned quite a few things. One thing that surprised me was that the cost of storage and network bandwidth was not nearly as much as I thought it was going to be. That being said, the cost of hosting a server capable of handling the CPU loads of transcoding a live #stream turned out to be quite higher than I was expecting.

I can afford it but it has me looking at what my plans are for the future with an eye towards cost. (cont'd)

@salad_bar_breath @cwebber I've seen that happening already on the fedi this past week and it is hilarious 😂

If you're on the West Coast and are in the path of Hurricane Hilary, check the hashtags #Hurricane #Hilary or #HurricaneHilary see see the latest being posted to the #fediverse.

Good luck and stay safe!

@Bloonface I mean it shouldn't have to be said that if someone is planning something they don't want exposed, social media is the worst possible platform to do it on. They may as well use a bullhorn.

That goes double for federated platforms.

@thomasfuchs It would have to be a client-side function which would open up an implementation can of worms. Some backend random number generators are even security risks. I can see why it would not be part of the spec.

@hypolite @liaizon Gentlemen.

We have found the Holy Grail.

@liaizon Where is the Snooker instance!? I want to know!

@Chrishallbeck Bed, Bath, and Beyond the Looking Glass, People!
