If I ever received a vuln report from an AI, or other such glorified spreadsheet, I would promptly dismiss it then wait for a human to organically discover it on its own to consider that as proof of actual existence.

Fedora rejects something from systemd

Yeah no, good try tho. Had me hopeful for 6 seconds.

“Hashtags-as-a-service”? I can’t see why we’d need this. Hashtags already exist.

If your laptop has USB-C it most likely already has DP out.

For some reason I always miss this. I checked in software and at least arandr says I have 4 DP Outs. Presumably 2 per USB-C port? I don’t know how this actually works.

How do I add a DP port to both my TV and my laptop?

Any means to check on progress? I’m interested in seeing if it’ll catch up on a weekly thread I usually participate on before the week of the thread ends.

More.

The second one or the third one?

This, worded in far more technical terms than I had understood back at the time, is one of the reasons why I’ve always opposed the idea of “merging” communities in the Fediverse. Merging views is fine, but merging the communities themselves and all that this means (focus, themes, memberships, rules, censorships, timezones…) is just Not.

That’s precisely why they have to be resisted and/or we have to look for alternatives that Do One Thing Well. Among many other issues, the networking effect issue with EverythingApps is quite double-faceted in that, because they do everything, their “weight” not only acts as gilded cages to prevent people from leaving, but also to prevent developers, working on their spare time, from developing something that can be reasonably understood as an “alternative” (because the alternative has to also Do Everything).

It’s basically playing a loser game to lose, see eg.: Mozilla always at best playing catch-up to Google, or why we can’t seem to move from BloatedWebWithReact to something like Gopher (or even make a proper Gopher 2.0).

All that said, I feel like XMPP and Matterbridge are approaching this from the right perspective. Just implement a global communication protocol and leave to platform makers (or platform users) the task of bridging from and to whatever directions they want.

Hmmmm voice chat eh?

Well then it’s time to recommend Mumble!

I hear Snikket makes it really easy to host XMPP (aka Jabber).

Phew!

So someone took their time to write a piece of JS that said “If the user hasn’t focused both fields at least once, no login”. Literally why? Extra code that does nothing useful.

If anything, 30 seconds in Greasemonkey should fix that one (either blocking the function that is doing it, or manually firing click events on the fields).

Wasn’t passkeys basically “passwords, but Google has control of them”?

Even if the “has an optional AI assistant” was not a thing, the repo includes an AGENTS.md file, which is also listed in the criteria, and more than qualifies it as slopware.

A whole domain? Hopefully this doesn’t cost them much. I’m guessing until then copies of the repo on notabug and/or codeberg that one can cross-check ought suffice.

Damn it!!! 😵

Quick! Someone add it to Open Slopware!

Damn, I was hoping to lead you into the relevant xkcd :p
