Okay. I see where the disconnect is. We’re both saying the same thing. In my earlier comment I said “as long as the Dev is open about it and it’s configurable by the admin”. What the tesseract dev did was wrong, what I was saying though is that a dev creating and managing a list is fine as long as those other conditions are met.

    Which is why it’s ultimately the decision of the admin. Don’t like what the admin of your instance is doing. Go make your own. That’s the beauty of the fediverse. It’s choice all the way down. It’s not like Reddit where you’d be stuck.

    Except one guy isn’t. You have to choose to install the software. It’s not included by default. I’m running a local client (Voyager) and never dealt with any of that because the admins of my instance don’t use it either.

    “For the time being”… that phrase does a lot of heavy lifting and doesn’t address to core of rhe issue. What happens when it’s small enough it can’t be obviously seen. Maybe it becomes a contact lens, maybe it can fit on a thin bridge on the nose. The problem still remains to be addressed.

    You know, I’m very much for equality, but in this situation a woman can do exactly that and get loads of dates.

    It’s the initial connection that is the highest barrier for men, after that, yeah, kinda need to leave the house to get a partner.

    Not every admin has the time or skill to curate. As long as the dev is open about it and there are configurable features to disable it, I don’t see what the issue is. Ultimately it creates no difference for a user if the admin creates it or the Dev does as long as it’s communicated.

    The advantage of the fediverse is “don’t like it, go to another instance or build your own”, not to tell devs what they can and can’t do. Hell I never even interacted with Tesseract since I use a different client and an open instance.

    It used to be you could find a box of photos or keepsakes that you inherited to look back on how things were or when you were a kid. Now, most of that is stored on phones, and most parents probably don’t think to share or save them in a way to be passed down in the future.

    We need this magazine to make a come back. I remember it was basically “Consumer Reports” for kids, but it had articles in it that taught kids to be critical of businesses practices such as calling out “new and improved” language on products and to think through how you’re being sold to.

     

    So there’s something I need to get off my chest, and if I post it on my LinkedIn it would be career suicide at my level.

    In a company, the largest line item by far is usually payroll. I have been at a number of companies that are trying to cut costs and don’t care if you come up with the correct amount via other OpEx categories, they want headcount reduced because “it’s so much”.

    So along comes the promise of a computer bot that understands the normal person and also:

    • Does not require sick/vacation time
    • Does not take FMLA
    • Does not want a bonus/profit sharing/equity
    • Don’t have to pay unemployment taxes, Medicare or SSI
    • Does not require them to spend money on health insurance
    • Will not form a union
    • Wont ever file a lawsuit for any number of reasons
    • Will work 24/7

    And this right there is the exact reason so many CEOs are salivating at the idea of AI. Not for worker efficiency, not for any number of “positive” benefits they may taut, but they finally have a glimpse of the chance to rid themselves of one of the largest headaches that they perceive in a company.

     

    I got crop dusted on my flight the other day and I thought I was gonna get diabetes from one person running to the bathroom. And then a couple weeks ago it smelled like death walking.

    After that I realized that I’ve noticed most everyone that is fairly old (70+) is similar. So what causes that compared to the normal methane composition of adults?

     

    A sample journey when trying to install software:

    • Try your distros repos, it’s either not there or an older version
    • Oh wait, you need to add their repo to your list and try again
    • Actually, they don’t have a repo, but you can install this deb/rpm from their site
    • Nevermind, it actually needs to be installed with pip to get the latest version
    • Or wait, it was actually a rust package and needs cargo
    • Well, this package is available as a snap
    • Screw it, I’ll just build it from source…. Except the dependencies I need take me through the entire journey again

    It’s crazy with a large package like mesa. It uses meson, which requires it be installed via pip, and also needs rust which is best installed via a snap, but then there are dependencies it needs that require multiple paths…

    On Windows: find the msi or exe and be done with it.

    From the site: “# Clean Room as a Service

    Finally, liberation from open source license obligations.

    Our proprietary AI robots independently recreate any open source project from scratch. The result? Legally distinct code with corporate-friendly licensing. No attribution. No copyleft. No problems.”

    Edit: Consensus is this is satire, but sadly I can see it being a reality at some point.
