M*st*d*n is the very definition of alt social media aimed at normies, not really sure why any of this is surprising... Gargron has always chased mass market appeal
I hyperfocused on accomplishing something adjacent to inbox zero today, and wow, what better way to see the now cold and frozen over decade-wide blast crater in my life than to scroll through year after year of occasional messages from friends that I was too fucked up to read and subsequently forgot about
@jupiter_rowland just popping in to tell you I recently became a fan of your relentless roasting of Mastodon's corrosive influence on the fediverse as a whole after reading a few hellthreads @silverpill
@sun one of the great unsung benefits of free software is the reduction in the sort of rage that comes about from being constantly needled by capitalist parasites. I'll take FOSS tinkering rage and crappy UX rage over being sucked dry by ticks every single fucking time.
@sun it's astounding to me what normies evidently put up with every day of their lives. megacorps wouldn't do this shit if it didn't work. I'd have a stroke from rage if I were forced to use Windows on the regular.
@sun@dcc@j @Suzu@detroitriotcity.com @p@lanodan@hj I have no experience with megacorp LLMs for coding, can you use any of them as an interactive rubber duck that *isn't* overly verbose and *doesn't* have a main interaction style of vomiting a mishmash of example code? I want something that acts like a bright junior dev pairing with me. one who remembers stuff about code patterns and can roll the dice & win on suggestions often enough to help my actual human brain figure things out / stay semi on track.
@p@dcc@j @Suzu@detroitriotcity.com @lanodan@hj@sun I'm missing half the thread because of my fedi neighborhood, but I've been saying that what I want in a coding assistant LLM is a rubber duck which can puzzle thru things with me, unlocking my own abilities by acting as a domain-specific interactive Rorschach blot ... some hallucinations and incorrectness would be fine; when I still had a straight dev job it wasn't uncommon to figure things out in pair programming by barking up the wrong tree a while.
2. allows cross-account actions (e.g. long-press the boost or fav button on one account, and you can select one of your other accounts to do the action)
@sun@lain@deadsuperhero I haven't tested Mitra yet (although it's on my todo list, and just rose a place or two when TIL about this feature), is it possible to point it at any XMR node?
I ask in part because I've been running one for like 4 years or something
small-time fedi trainwreck personality & long-abiding fedi development attempter. been here since 2017 and haven't accomplished a damn thing besides making friends :)I used to work in 9-5 software engineering but found it wasn't for me, and then life took me on a ride. I'm still on that ride, and now trying to reboot as an indie developer.Pet project #1: @fediseedsPet project #2: @surfhosting
