I've found a live mouse in our bread basket. I've found a dead mouse in our dirty clothes basket. My other half must never know or they'll banish our cat forever.
@fesshole The cat is clearly running a two-basket protection racket, and honestly, respect.
One thing I thought of and explained as contrast to all the vibey stuff going on is the demoscene. Pushing the limits of old computers as art. There's no reason to do it except craft and joy.
But of course, this weekend I saw an article where someone tried to do just that. Even on HN people were saying, why? You're missing the point of the demoscene. There's nothing to "gain" from the demoscene other than community and craft.
If you're using an LLM to try to understand and explain to you how a technique works, I suppose that's one thing. But if you're using it to build a demo, why? Exploring the limits is only there for community joy. There's no other reason to do it.
But every community, the joy and artistry is torn out of it. Intellectual strip mining.
@cwebber I think there is opportunity to some degree where in a year or whatever we get very clever things out of frontier LLMs and *humans* distill and investigate and incorporate those techniques into new standards of ‘how to do a thing’ elegantly.
I don’t know who would ever fund it but I think this marriage of artisan craft and technological insight where you have the entire power of a data center and a stupid machine pointed at a problem and a human reviewing may expose interesting things.

This would break the way many users use Lemmy & Co. I’m happy about users that cross-post.
I only follow communities I subscribe to. Let’s say I follow B but don’t follow A. If a user posts something related to topic A and topic B only in a community A, which I don’t follow, I would miss information interesting to me. When the user cross-posts to community B as well, then I’ll also see that useful post.
Also, even the same topic/community appears on different instances, and some users may not even be aware of the same community in other instances. They would miss useful or interesting information without cross-posting.
I had an extremely painful IBS flare for my rest day.
So that's how I'm entering a busy week.
A missing KDE tablet feature turned into a working handwriting mode through an AI-assisted side project. ✍️
The result combines open source handwriting recognition, stylus input, and human-led debugging across an unfamiliar software stack.
To clarify: this was an experiment to see what’s possible, and not a KDE decision. It’s very early work in progress, and nothing has been proposed upstream. If it is, it will follow KDE’s contribution guidelines and the maintainers will decide, like with any other contribution. The write-up covers what worked and what didn’t, including where the AI got things wrong.

Is there a way to not see duplicate of the same topic across different communities?
Hi everyone!
I’m really enjoying the Fediverse through Lemmy and Peertube.
One creator I enjoy and follow on the Fediverse is Gardiner Bryant as his content is really enjoyable.
Sadly he ´s the target of my post as he shares his content on many different communities that I follow.
Today I had 5 times the same topic on RetroDeck (great project too) on my feed on Lemmy (Voyager).
It is the same on PieFed (Interstellar).
This is really annoying and I haven’t found a way to not show these duplicates. Do you know about one or is it worked on?
Also when crossposting, it would be great if everything appeared under on post. Is it feasible?
Sorry if it’s easy and I just missed it. In a way I hope it is because it would mean that the Fediverse is festure rich😇

You’re not alone in this wish, though I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you. I sort of accepted it as just part of how a federated reddit-style forum would work, but if there’s a way to address it, that would be very cool.
My orthopedic appointment was great! It lasted 7 minutes and I only have to get permission from my cardiologist to go off the blood thinners for 48 hours ~ then surgery IS A GO!
It's called a Trapeziectomy with LRTI. They will remove the trapezium bone from the base of the thumb and replace it with some tendon (from my forearm). I will probably lose grip strength, but I won't be in pain anymore. And obviously only one hand at a time will be done.
I'm so relieved! If the cardiologist doesn't play along, he and I will have words.
Thanks for all the good thoughts, vibes and prayers today y'all! 🫂 💜
@Holberg We just learned about them by watching the Mitford Sisters (can't remember what it was called) I think of Netflix. Or maybe Britbox.
@nomdeb I didn’t know they’d made a show! But it’s such natural fodder for one.
anthropic just filed a slightly amended s-1

still not final, has invisible moneys in it
some q3 numbers tho
lol
i would not think about this at all really
wonder if there's new risks tho
grrrrrrr.
again: AlpineBSD is *not* related to Alpine in any way. drew has built a distribution from scratch using abuild and apk (certainly nothing wrong with this part).
but the media keeps reporting as if this is literally Alpine, but BSD instead. other than using the build scripts and package format, it has basically nothing to do with Alpine.
for example @lproven in his coverage, describes it as "Combining the NetBSD kernel with the Alpine Linux userland", which it very much is not.
i really wish drew would rename his project...
@ariadne I got real interested and then real uninterested very quickly 😆 Thanks for your Alpine work .
