Pasting a huge AI generated explanation to a problem in an issue or pull-request is nothing but RUDE. Don't do it. You look stupid and the receivers of that feel insulted.
We are humans. We communicate like humans. Fine, use the tools you like, but don't insult us.

@ambientspace I used to run Ubuntu studio, until last year… it worked fine! Why did I switch 🙈
please share my art to help me achieve my dream of having 4 million dollars
Met veel emotie gekeken naar deze reconstructie van Nieuwsuur. Door moedwillig te blijven volhouden dat mondneusmaskers nutteloos waren en zelfs leidden tot schijnveiligheid, hebben deze mensen onnoemelijk veel leed veroorzaakt met vele doden tot gevolg. Zeer ernstig - gewoon kwaadaardig. Wat zijn de consequenties?
Is there a way to restrict this framework so apps can't access it?
Can I have a slider to disallow AI usage for all users, not just guest users?
Can I just not have to worry about this kind of thing popping up in software I installed so I wouldn't have to worry about this?
@Monkeymind @nextcloud "mainly intended for AI tasks" means it's not exclusive to AI tasks and is used by other apps, or can be used by other apps. This is not an AI feature, it's a feature that is used by AI. It's part of the core OCP namespace, removing it is like removing a skeleton from your body. I'm answering because I know. 😂

I am reading up on Mattermost, and a voice in my head keeps saying "just run an irc server again, Neil".
Offboarding meeting. New people joining means "old" people leaving... Great new opportunities for them but a little bit *sigh* for me #academicChatter
@tschfflr being a constant (because of a privileged position) in an always changing environment makes one feel old.
Awesome. One of my favourite authors of cosy sci fi ( @clacksee) has a new book out in July.

Time to preorder!
If you haven't read any of Si Clarke's awesome books, may I recommend the Devon island mars colony series, and the starship teapot series. Both very much worth a read. Relaxing, positive, queer, excellently well written.

Aw, thank you so much.
Websites have a new way to spy on visitors: analyzing their SSD activity
Telltale SSD activity can be measured in the browser using simple JavaScript.

@arstechnica the modern web, and especially JavaScript, was a huge mistake and the people responsible should be imprisoned.
@ambientspace I did enjoy Kdenlive. My problem is a love using green screens a little toooo much lol… super heavy, I need GPU acceleration and Kdenlive said “no” :(
@neil @anton According to this, a bunch of the developers have been hired by Anthropic and sound like they're enthusiastic about this. https://lobste.rs/s/2whryd/announcing_zulip_foundation
Yes, disappointing, but the positive thing is they did not drag Zulip into the (for-the-moment) money-spewing sewer with them. Might've been nice if there was both a for-profit company and a foundation, but if we have to pick one, formalizing the community-first approach is best, and keeping the Zulip project away from toxic Anthropic is so much better than these developers trying to take Zulip with them.
i love how llms are good at finding bugs, but not actually providing a fix for them.
the one thing an automated llm would be useful for it doesn't actually do lmao
@breathOfLife we use several AI powered tools that are pretty good at generating patches as well. They often aren't 100% correct, but I find even 80-90% to be rather helpful. It helps explaining the problem I f ind.

Hi everyone. Before leaving the hospital yesterday I made the choice to switch from the Freestyle Libre 3+ to the Dexcom G7 sensor. Part of the reason I ended up in the hospital in the first place is because half the time my Libre would say that it couldn't get a reading and it just kept saying no data available. At the moment I'm currently wearing both sensors as a comparison. So far I've gotten all the readings I've checked for with the Dexcom, but not with the Libre. I find that the Dexcom app is more friendly than the Libra app. The graph is spoken. The readings give the current number, whether it's steady, rising, or falling, and whether it's rising or falling quickly. Maybe not a complete bonus, but nice if I need to get my reading and can't work with my phone, I can ask SIRI what my level is. I can create a list of up to 10 people to share my data with, and I can choose what is and isn't shared. Also, it can connect to the health app, and has a native Apple watch app, which can be used in addition to the phone app to get readings. So if something happens to me during the night, I can get the info from my watch. I can only speak for myself, but so far I'm finding that I'm starting to prefer the Dexcom already.
@technolass Hopefully it works out better for you.
