Today's AI trend is like Myspace in the initial boom of social media platforms.

>>Now if it only would reflect on the real world, that would be nice.
Hope is nice, actually saving starving people from starving would be better.
<< it applies, but not at face level

>>Sorry if i'm bitter, but there is precedent.
<< No worries. Noted.

>>What do you think on agency in the real world, is individual contribution relevant?
<<Highly. The salvation of the whole requires individual rescue. Having a single person do all the work is neglectful of the entire system being dependent on a single focal point with a finite lifespan and resources. For example, if a single person was able to make sure everyone in the world was fed for a whole year- but they themselves died the next, humanity would not be any better off except by a year. Thinking of the "big picture", it would be better for many individuals to do what they could manage in perpetuity, and maintain that as a tradition. Does that mean the aforementioned individual gets to write it out because others helped? No. It means that in addition to solving the hunger problem- humanity is solving the mutual-aid problem as a whole.

There's a fond saying I like to reminiscence about.

No real weight, just curious. I'll likely continue doing as I have been. However, out of a fit of whimsy- I chose to prod your mind for anything I might fancy to mull over.

modern programming is like,

"if you're using bongo.rs to parse http headers, you will need to also install bepis to get buffered read support. but please note that bepis switched to using sasquatch for parallel tokenization as of version 0.0.67, so you will need the bongo-sasquatch extension crate as well."

old-time programming is like,

"i made a typo in this function in 1993. theo de raadt got so angry he punched a wall when he saw it. for ABI compatibility reasons, we shan't fix the typo."

We really need something #selfhosted that is on par and not overly challenging to manage.

Many of us have seen matrix, and dont like how complicated it is to setup/maintain.

I dont even need all of discord tbh, I just want what voicechannels give us, but compatible with
#activity instances like mastodon/misskey for authentication would be badass

(discord is absolutely disgusting... by No Text To Speech)[

A few questions for @Edent ::

What is your favorite code foundry and why? Which ones have you tried?

Remember gang, Net Promoter Score is bullshit - and you should never ask humans to score each other.

Yes, I can tolerate extreme heat. No, I don't want to.

Yes, I acknowledge Karen from HR like it hot. No, I don't want to sleep with Karen.

Fuck off you damn mosquitoes!!!

Upon request. Time to heat up the place. Are you serious? Eat a ice cream! Why do you need hot food when it's 120*F 49*C outside?! I deal with extreme heat every day, my reprieve is colder temperatures!!!

Are we on bad terms or something?! Do I need to move to actual polar climates?!
