On CI/CD, woodpecker is fairly trivial to set up to work with gitea/forgejo if something like that is needed

“look, Activision wasn’t cheap. We’ve gotta keep the lights on here”

I recently listened to the vergecast episode about all of MS’s recent announcements and was genuinely shocked to hear recall being compared to, more or less, the local caching that already happens while you use your computer (+ the normalized big tech tracking). My gut reaction was that that’s kind of an insane thing to think and I’m glad I’m being vindicated on that point.

Ah my favorite actor, Patrick Szwaye

I’m shocked I tell you! Shocked!

Inshallah

Isn’t the “trajectory” that these systems are incredibly unsustainable both economically and environmentally? I’d hope that a machine that uses a few thousand homes’ worth of energy to answer a single query would be more useful than “can generate boilerplate code for me” or whatever.

Free as in freedom, not necessarily free as in beer

If they really have been working on it since it was teased a few years ago, then I have to assume it will just be Skyrim: Again (Again)

It’s a shame that it probably won’t even be that much of a visual improvement, if Starfield is any indication

The worst part about HP is that I already have one of their printers but don’t use it enough to justify replacing it 😔

For me personally with my instance, yes

If it was almost any other corporation I’d be willing to give them a chance. If Tumblr actually launches ActivityPub I doubt many people will complain. The fact that it’s Facebook though makes it pretty much a non-starter imo.

As an admin of a small instance, the privacy stuff is pretty secondary to the moderation headache Threads’ traffic would surely induce. mastodon.social by itself produces enough crap that I’ve silenced them, I can’t imagine that Threads will be any better and indeed assume it’ll be much worse in that regard.

Besides that, I think there’s a difference between having data publicly available and voluntarily sending it straight to a data broker. Either way I don’t think you should need much of a reason to tell Facebook to fuck off and I find it kind of strange that people seem so hesitant about it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Yes, I am biased against the energy guzzling lie machine

This made me get out of bed to check my toaster but no, the cord really is just that short

It’s caused by refraction of the sun’s light by the atmosphere

I’ve been hosting my own vaultwarden server for a few months now and it’s been great, especially being able to move my TOTP stuff off of my phone
