Hey @xan.lol, witchsky's readme mentions a repost-to-another-account feature, but I can't seem to get it to work. Has it not been merged yet or something? Thanks!!

Apparently it just took some time

Screenshot from above article:

The productivity paradox inspired many research efforts at explaining the slowdown, only for the paradox to disappear with renewed productivity growth in the developed countries in the 1990s.

"There's a reason fantasyslop is a term."

"It's not a term. You just attach the word slop to everything you don't like or is vaguely popular"

Amazing quote

Excerpt from quoted post:

When nothing is happening, Valve is quiet.

When something is happening, Valve is also quiet, but the quiet has mass.

This quiet has mass.

You can feel objects moving behind the wall.

Software literacy is dying in droves, and it's all at the hands of the tech oligarchs behind this. Your digital agency is at risk. They want you to be a stupid comsumer and no more. Don't let that happen. fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/the-slo...

Mastodon post by Koen Hufkens, PhD, reading:

The slow death of the power user.

"This isn’t an accident. This is the result of two decades of deliberate, calculated effort by the largest technology companies on earth to turn users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos. They succeeded beyond their wildest expectations"

Here's a good example. This is a completely reasonable take, yet it it was downvoted. Because the reason why people didn't like this change is it exposed them. Because people don't want their AI usage disclosed. They're ashamed of it.

Comment on a pull request by a censored user:
"I would not mind it defaulting to on, if it actually works: not only for Copilot, reliable listing the actual model versions used, differentiating between agendic creation and input completion. Being able to reference a session log, helping with logging the evidence needed to get indemification protection. And commit message preview for human."

Excerpt from linked article:

Can I host content without a free and open-source license?

Codeberg is run by a non-profit association with an explicit mission of advancing the creation and development of free content and free and open-source software.

This mission is shared by Codeberg's contributors, donors and association members. We, and our servers, work tirelessly to provide you with our free service. However, there is one thing that we expect from you in return: To contribute back to the ecosystem by attaching a suitable license to the works that you put out in public, so as to let others reuse and adapt your works.

If you are not sure which license to choose, our documentation has a licensing article.

If you do not care about copyrighting your works, please consider using a public domain declaration (e.g. Unlicense, Creative Commons Zero for multimedia assets), or licenses of similar nature (e.g. WTFPL, MIT No Attribution).

Using such licenses helps ensure that others can comfortably (re)use your works anyway.

If you need private repositories for commercial projects (e.g. because you represent a company or are a developer that needs a space to host private freelance projects for your clients), we would highly recommend that you take a look at Forgejo. Forgejo is the Git hosting software that Codeberg runs. It is free software and relatively easy to self-host. Codeberg does not offer private hosting services.

Sometimes, we do tolerate repositories that are not licensed optimally (e.g. due to historic reasons dating back decades). If you believe that your project should be exempt, please send us a formal request.

A slide titled "AMD's Asynchronous Shaders". In the bottom right corner is a card that reads "Async Shaders ON". It has been edited to have a picture of Dean Norris as Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad superimposed, and a blue circle over his picture with an arrow pointing to the aforementioned card
