There is a lot of talk around slowing down developement, governence, etc. What are we actually worried about (honest question), terminator, ultron, rehoboam, the paperclip issue (technically all the same thing) or is it more of a cold war situation where maybe a nation or a company will gain all wealth and power?

Also if one company makes an model... will it automatically win? What if we have two AGI models competing?

Dev Team then, 'We like/want Jira, working on sprints is a great way to keep the team focussed on goals & tasks'...
Dev Team now, 'Eh whatever, we just wanna work on cool new stuff'

Its like the wild west out here! :eyeroll:

@bignose Aah I bet! Excited to get into it. I am reading a book 'Good Data' which is infuriating me right now as it is pro big data harvesting... but I dont wanna just stay in my echo chamber so pushing thru it. :D

So we all know snaps on ubuntu are dodgy (thanks canonical) but to be honest is no better. Faux containerized 'sandboxed' apps with all dependencies is a waste of hdd space! I will take an or file over flatpak every time.
Maybe I am old school, or maybe I just like my hdd space for other stuff, not duplicate dependencies!

So chuffed to see build appimage files! Appreciate it! :D

I do not consider your app 'portable' if I download the 'portable zip' yet it stores all of its data in 'AppData\Roaming'. I do not want to spend time setting up symlinks to make apps truly portable.

cough looking at you @FreeTube ^_^

Very happy to see my old arduino parts work with my now 'old' pi pico (v1) means I can at least store actual real-time stamps 💪

It was snowing the day I first saw Avatar. 🙂

At an IMAX theatre, in 3D.

It was a miserable experience and I was sick during and for many, many hours after. The 3D effect kept falling apart for me and made me tremendously motion sick.

I saw it a few weeks later in Real3D. Huge difference. No motion sickness, it was a cool experience.

@CStamp IMAX 3D is so flawed! U cannot tilt your head due to the technology the use (vertical & horizontal polarisation). RealD gives much more flexibilty and so yes will always give a better 3D experience (circular polarisation)

So the slow down now is the lady folding the ballots & stamping them. Long wait for her to slowly fold each one. Why is no one helping her? Multiple people standing around!

I feel like a human unit tester... the dev team never seem to test their tools properly and I am getting kinda sick of it

flipsideza,
@flipsideza@fosstodon.org avatar

@kimvanwyk Hahaha, yes a lot of that... but also a bunch of, 'we didnt even test that part of the tool' or 'oh I didnt think of that' 😢 and of course, 'oh I didnt think changing x would break y'

23 more days of guaranteed uninterrupted power in 😂

Sick of all this cheap junk on the market! Why does capitalism contantly want to drive growth & profit by making cheaper crap! I know then they get to sell the product twice or even thrice coz it never lasts! Even buying 'expensive' now does not mean quality 😒😔 just means more expensive to replace!

The project has ended. For those who don't know, this project was a suite of scripts that make it easy to set up your own server.

The good news is that it's basically just a collection of scripts that draws from your system's package manager. If you're currently hosting a VPN that you used PiVPN to set up, I see no reason why you can't just keep using it like normal.

I've cloned the repo for potential future use.

Kid Rock Calls Ticketmaster A Monopoly That Needs Broken Up: “It’s Highway Robbery”

How do you break down clique's that form in the office?

Example, developers are already an insular group. When they start making decisions internally that are going to affect the whole company without asking, I get worried.

The company cannot be small silo'd groups of people.
