Since Hachyderm is happy to federate with the host of Libs of TikTok, Gays Against Groomers and other wildly violent transphobic accounts, I need to move.
Recommendations for an instance where I can share my code projects, AWS stuff, photography, blog, etc with a real policy against federating hate speech?
A “wait and see” approach to see if Libs of TikTok might be violently transphobic is too naive for my blood.
Giving Libs of TikTok the benefit of the doubt is so centrist it hurts.
I truly don’t care about the embrace-extend-extinguish argument. Really, truly don’t. But I can’t stand to see an LGBTQ+ allied instance so hungry to federate with the host of such intense hate speech.
I've had half a dozen blogs over the last ~20 years. I pulled each of them down after the first mean comment, because I'm a sensitive idiot.
But every time I was able to, I took a backup for posterity. And now, because life's too short, I've decided to repost them all as a permenant archive on beep.blog.
I'm still working through it all, but I just wanted to share these photos of Exeter from 2014. Rawr, etc.
I just want to offer an aggressive “I told you so” to everyone I warned about Substack years ago.
Don’t believe anyone who says they “didn’t know”. Don’t trust anyone who only cares now that the mainstream’s talking about it. Don’t applaud anyone who’s just migrating today. They all knew which bar they were drinking at.
I have a crafts channel on makertube.net already but would prefer to spread myself around in case one server goes down. Also tbh I'm not even sure devlogs would count as "making" anyway.
Tried the instance finder on the PT homepage but it's pretty useless so if anyone knows where is stable and welcomes this kind of content I'd appreciate it! Thanks.
Just updated iPad to iOS 17.1.1 and now I have a little lock icon at the top center of the screen. Google searches only bring back orientation lock which it isn't. Help!? #ios#ipad
I'll admit it: I'm prejudiced as hell against "developers" that use "AI".
I know a "developer" who asked in his job interview if he'd be allowed to use Copilot/ChatGPT. And if I'd been the interviewer, he'd have been a hard no.
How could I ever trust that anything in his PRs was correct, functional, or could even be included in our product ethically? How could I ever trust that he was capable of reviewing my code by the same standards?
Call me a Luddite. Call me a gatekeeper. I don't care.
I'm genuinely gutted that @github's raison d'être is abandoning source control for dubiously-trained auto-complete ("AI").
I just need somewhere to put my code and track issues without fighting with over-confident and under-qualified chatbots ("AI").
I love #GitHub, honestly, but if the future of their platform is a fleet of hallucinating machines ("AI") then I'm checking out @Codeberg for my next project.
Post deleted because the little voice in the back of my head said "You know, no one gives a shit" and then the voice in front of my head said "Yeah, you're probably right", so I wrote this post instead which no one gives a shit about. That will teach the little voice in the back of my head.
In your CI/CD pipeline would you recommend multiple build agents for your apps in different tacks, or one main build agent image with everything you need to build all of your apps?
@davesh I've gone for one image for everything in my current team, and my entire reasoning is mental load on the rest of the team. I'd like them to be able to self-serve build problems when I'm not around, and knowing there's one place for everything really helps with folks who aren't super-familiar with CI runners, images and the like.
@davesh Yeah - that too! 😁 It seemed a bit of a cheat to say "We're 99% Python and 1% Vue/Bash/Docker, so..." but I'd probably still go for one single image anyway given the team size + experience.
I didn't make as much progress today as yesterday. Godot's controls + containers are a pig I'm still learning to wrangle, and I'm not enjoying it.
But still, the prototype's serving its purpose. I'm discovering all kinds of gaps I hadn't thought of, which has the mixed blessings of being both "useful" and "intimidating". #GameDev
I did a quick calculation and I've spent close to 98,000 hours making video games. Making video games! Not curing cancer or establishing world peace, but making video games.
It’s very cool to see how fast the Raspberry Pi has gotten. I’ve got a model B from over 10 years ago that’s still working great for #homelab projects like this: https://github.com/mjkelly/weatherdash — I don’t need a new one but I sure am tempted.
@mkelly@Raspberry_Pi Right! I’d love to try setting up a cluster for my next project — so this new Pi isn’t really for me. I’ll keep an eye out for a handful for cheap+slow ones rather than one fast one. 🔥
I have a 300 line Bash script that fully automates my build process. Rewriting it in Python won't make it any faster or make the game come out any sooner, but I'm having a hard time resisting the call of the coding siren.
