The article does indeed continue 😮 There are so many full page interruptions,I thought the end had been reached.

Good to know that they are considering moving away from Microslop. It’s about damn time. As the article insinuates, there is little hope of Microslop turning down the dial on AI. They will create AI problems and sell AI solutions for those problems.

But I guess using Microslop is fine for everybody else if ICE isn’t after you 😇 Github, Office 365, Winblows, all safe to use.

The strength of the fediverse is exactly this: don’t like what an instance admin is doing? Move to another instance or create your own.

Go make your own “censor free” instance and stop whining, jfc

More peertube please!

Move Godot to codeberg. Github is too popular. It’s where all the fool kids go and link their LinkedIn to. It’s Microslop all the way down. It’s highly likely the number of real contributors will be higher on Codeberg than Github.

Also, doesn’t github have a viebcoding platform built into it making it really easy to create AI slop?

Edit: yep they do! Get the fuck off of github!

Just suggest it for the lulz. If they think it’s a good idea, you know that your résumé needs touching up 😉

Don’t be dependent on another state. Cooperate with all possible states.

That’s just dependency dressed up.

Anyway, it’s not like Europe is going to make their own chips.

European Chips Act

The seeds are being planted.

Nobody buys laptops anymore. Only geeks do.

Because the problem is that EU is dependent on the US. Switching to be dependent on another state is not the goal. Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire is not the solution.

It’s not nationalistic for states to rely on internal products. And BTW, Europe is trying to go opensource. I’d rather have opensource than foreign closed source, regardless of whether it’s Pakistan, Australia, or Nigeria. And other states should also be going opensource, not just European ones.

Everyone should be dumping closed source - especially US closed source, surveillance-ware.

Do it like my previous employer: hook up an AI to the ticketing system that writes a fix for every ticket and creates a PR to review with the fix. Let another agent review it and label it as AI reviewed.

They wanted to go full AI and let it also merge the fix, but nobody was comfortable with that. I imagine your current employer would be though.

But it’s strange it’s been this long and nobody seems to have gotten this feature working, despite a big want for it.

It’s not strange at all that the feature hasn’t been implemented. Not enough people donate, so there isn’t enough funding to implement features. Most people wait around until something is there or pay for closed source stuff. Funding is the major issue. If there were funds, people could spend time to implement such complicated features. Discord had millions in seed funding and has thousands of developer hours sunk into the platform. The developers of element have to juggle element and their jobs.

That is exactly why I’m saying: if you have the money to pay for discord nitro, throw some money Matrix’s way. It’ll benefit us all instead of some money-hungry enshittifiers.

As you can read in the other responses that misunderstood the post, some people do not want to self-host and want something hosted. That’s the beauty of opensource though: whatever suits you.

No problem. I wasn’t sure how to frame it. It just bothers me that people are willing to pay for closed source stuff, but as soon as it comes to opensource it must be free and have all the features, otherwise they won’t use it.

That’s the link of the post 🤔 It seems like you’re not the only one mistunderstanding that. Why is that?

It’s a resource hog and quite unstable. A major gripe I have with it is that it makes accessing what you downloaded very difficult because the documentation is terrible. It should be possible to mount all your downloaded stuff into a folder, but I have yet to figure out how. And despite all its resource usage, it is very slow.

The idea is amazing (peer-to-peer, content-addressed storage), but the implementation is extremely lacking.

But instead it offers people to learn hosting and sysadmin stuff.

It does not. The post says paying for a hosted matrix server. That means you pay for somebody to host it. There’s nothing more to it.

The full discord nitro plan costs 10$/month. That can get you a server for your friends and you can communicate with other servers. If everybody chips in, it’s the cost of discord nitro minimum if you’re 5 friends.

The internet needs a better way to share stuff than a fixed list of files. It should be easy to simply browse through a shared folder and decide to participate in storing and hosting that file.

Having to split huge archives like this into multiple torrents is such a terrible workaround. It requires those with huge storage to host the torrents. People who just require a subset can’t properly participate.

Such a pity IPFS is so crap. It should be been the solution to this, but alas…

I already see this is going to be a fruitless discussion with those proposed discussion points. “His attempt to reduce government spending” 🤣 “attempt”.

No. Libraries will always be useful. Not everyone has the credits to generate the tokens necessary to rewrite every lib in existence.
