A good idea i have been spreading around relevant people lately is to use ShellCheck as you code in Bash, integrate it in your workflow, editor or IDE as relevant to you (there’s a commandline tool as well as being available for editors in various forms), and pass your scripts through it, trying to get the warnings to go away. That should fix many obvious errors and clean up your code a bit.

Can’t say i feel like i have fully wrapped my head around this solution, but having migrated Mastodon instances before i see the need for it, this could help a lot as mentioned. And in addition, lots of people usually have multiple accounts across Fedi (“Here’s my main Mastodon one, here’s a Lemmy one, here’s one on Bookwyrm to rate books, here’s a Pixelfed one, etc.”) and this could help unify them which is good, “I’ll log in with this account on this server i had never seen before and it just works”.

That said, having either repeatedly seen (or occasionally, personally had) TERRIBLE experiences in the past with linked accounts on commercial platforms (like when somebody gets their Gmail account banned for whatever reason and suddenly their whole online life is halted down to banking, or when linking two unrelated accounts lets one company access to spy on the person much deeper than before, or many other cases) i have to say that i feel a visceral level of discomfort at the possibility of this coming to Fedi, even if i feel this might just be paranoia I’m still not sure what kind of power would bad actors gain over you in this setup, like admins of rogue instances, Big Tech spy-happy corporate entities once they do fully arrive here, hackers who suddenly have a magical key over everything yours, etc.

Just earlier today i saw this phrase about cryptocurrency: “price discovery for bitcoin happens on an exchange that admitted a few months ago to being a criminal conspiracy”. Yeah, there’s HUGE problems with central banks, but by this point it should be very clear that a wild west casino full of scammers will not save us from that, it doesn’t matter what were the initial ideals of people about crypto, it’s main function now and for many years since it’s beginnings has been scamming real money out of people.

No matter how many constraints you add, it’s never enough, that’s the weakness of a model that only knows language and nothing else

So, let me see if i understand the argument: Discord, a piece of closed source software which is very popular at the moment because they hit first (user inertia) and haven’t yet ramped up the enshittification (but sooner or later will because they already announced the intention to go the IPO route), wins over free software alternatives because of a 100% unofficial bot designed to help with one tiny niche user case most users of the platform haven’t even heard about, which is itself free software and therefore could be migrated and/or adapted to other free software?

I’m not sure the argument is very solid

I use this, it’s very much not perfect but works: github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy

Heh, had already boosted, liked and bookmarked it, nice! 😄

I dislike when they say in news clips that Signal represents the “current gold standard” for E2EE chats, it doesn’t, Signal is a helluva lot better than the commercial stuff that mines user data but there’s stuff like SimpleX Chat that doesn’t leak even metadata because it doesn’t have it.

Still, this is a good thing, these megacorps have their iron grip on people because they have raised walls around their services making it painful for people to move to a different service, tearing down those walls can only help us all.

This whole episode was one of the things I was expecting the most from the first book, and it delivered!

Well, i haven’t read the WN, have read the books instead, but yeah, this season is pretty much Book 1 it seems (with some changes, they have softened Alicia from an outright bigot to “highly incompatible magic aversion syndrome”, which is OK). I really, REALLY hope it gets popular enough to have at least a couple more seasons, because the insanity of the end parts of Book 3 is something i REALLY wanna see animated! 😄

Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools (www.404media.co)

this could not be timed worse for Tumblr which is in huge hot water with its userbase already for its CEO breaking his sabbatical to ban a prominent trans user for allegedly threatening him (in a cartoonish manner), and then spending a week personally justifying it increasingly wildly across several platforms. the rumors had...

Direct link for the lazy: Wafrn, a Tumblr-like Fediverse platform, and the code: frontend and backend. Seems VERY* early in development, so hopefully some of the masses fleeing Tumblr will be devs to contribute to it

Quick edit: Love that on the linked thread, the dev answered something from within their platform, and it was very much a Tumblr-style answer

It was a direct reference to Iron Man 1, Tony and his burger after being “rescued”, I suspect a Japanese pun was involved 😂

The AB people seem to be gearing to either move to another domain or to fully nuke the site if they suspect they’re being directly targeted (at this point it feels like too much paranoia but it’s understandable in their position), the old domain is likely to be abandoned no matter what though.

Many years late, and still requires having your number. Good first step though, we’ll see once a phone number is not required.

AnimeBytes is down, domain seems to have been seized

Initial reaction from one of the main admins was that if in 12 hours there had been no news they’d nuke the servers, seems like they’re not gonna do it anymore. Many domains registered by one admin were seized at the same time, so might not even be aimed at the tracker. Waiting for more news....

OK, just the mention of the name and the main theme is now playing in my head, awesome 😄

It must not be a commercial site then, you just cannot monetize that

You're Not Imagining It: Google Search Results Are Getting Worse, Study Finds (gizmodo.com)

For the past few years, a growing number of users, analysts, and experts raised alarms about a truth that feels obvious to a lot of people who surf around in web browsers: the quality of Google results is in serious decline. Google disagrees.

Here’s a Masto thread explaining a bit the polemic

TL;DR: They became partners with Brave, when people pointed out Brave’s objectionable politics they responded… poorly (still read the thread, it has much more info)

Quick edit: Was pointed at this, looks like it’s even worse and the Kagi owner himself might be very objectionable too

Second edit: And it keeps getting worse, of course they had to get into AI…
