My wallet is miserable and staying up until 3 AM means I'm going to end up suffering for it later, but I had to do it because it's an international holiday(?)
> I'm against use of LLMs in programming
Why? For example, what if I made my program, then I made a lot of tests and ask LLM agent to optimize it, hill climb some measurement that I provided, it does some intricate things that doesn't change logic, but do write (and discard!) a lot of code that actually works faster (let's say order of magnitude faster). And it takes 1h of my time instead of 40h. Is this bad usage of LLM?
@optozorax @runevision replace "LLM" here with something you consider to be abhorrent, see what it does to how this reads. "A slave" or "a child labourer" might work. Not saying LLMs are equivalent, but it should unlock a better ability to see the other side.
Perhaps we all misunderstood Jensen Huang when he said that we should be embracing agents in this age of AI.

Fediverse
What are you thoughts about (semi-) centralized moderation?
As the Fediverse grows, the amount and frequency of harmful spam also increases. The feudalistic structure of the network creates notable moderation overhead as every instance admin has to ban offending remote accounts and remove their content themselves, if the originating instance does not act quick enough or such delete actions are not federated properly.
An example (and my motivation for this post) are reports from the last days about accounts which post CSAM content. This is especially problematic, as media content gets duplicated to every receiving instance.
The following idea came to my mind: A software which sits on top of Activity Pub and creates a kind of court. Instances of this software are independent courts. All users can elect admins / mods of their home instance as judge. Everyone can post a case via normal Fedi posts to the court and the elected judges give a verdict via majority vote (votes are also normal Fedi comments with special formatted content). Once a case has a verdict, all instances should immediately apply the decided action against the offending content / account. This can be done via a bot which is set as an instance moderator and follows the published verdicts of a court instance the local admin trusts.
This way swift action can be applied through all instances which follow the court at once. By having periodic elections it is kept democratic.
And the task of the court is to defend universal rules all following instances agree on. Not to handle politics between instances.
What are you thoughts on this matter? Or do other approaches to solve this issue already exist?

CLOSE THE DOOR we’re hot boxing the place

Way more likely than they would have you think.
@charlotte They would also secretly be a meth addict and probably wanted in more than one state for public indecency.
I mean, a stuck-up fool like this is clearly projecting a persona to hide something.

ping @zzt @hipsterelectron a useful addition
@davidgerard @hipsterelectron suddenly everyone is onboard with this one weird trick
@lain@lain.com just wait a month till the first romhacks appear
Yes I think there are aliens out there, even intelligent ones considering the sheer number of stars and planets
No I don't think they are on Earth or anywhere near us with UFOs or whatever, space is just waaay to big and chose chances are almost nil
@stux maybe there are technologies that we don't know about.

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

Fedora Workstation (and Silverblue) 45 ship a close-to-stock, up-to-date yet stable experience with plenty of improvements under the hood. We're thankful of all the work put by the community, check out their Magazine article for all of the changes in 45:
Both projects have representatives in our advisory board and collaborate with upstream, so we're more than happy to celebrate their releases! If you are an Ubuntu or Fedora users, and want to see your desktop become even better, become a Friend of GNOME and support our development! https://donate.gnome.org/
Weil je grad soviel über gehackte Kühlschränke geredet wird — Gehacktes muss bei maximal 2°C gelagert werden 😉 Das schafft der Kühlschrank zuhause nicht unbedingt.
Although it's not an LTS release, there's plenty of improvements to see in Ubuntu 26.10 for those that want to dabble with the latest software. Thank you for the work, both upstream and downstream, and check out their blogpost going through the changes in 26.10:
