Device hoarding has a similar pedigree, referring not to the practice of collecting and holding devices one doesn't need, but rather simply holding onto a device that still works instead of replacing it as soon as possible.

Breathless headlines are blaming this so-called hoarding (again, literally not hoarding) for weakness in the economy.

What quiet quitting and device hoarding have in common—besides being lies—is the worldview of people who believe in, worry about, and report on them.

The premise of quiet quitting and device hoarding alike is that you owe everything to your corporate masters. That giving less than everything to your job is "quitting," that spending less than every dime in your bank account is sabotaging the economy.

Hey, all. I need to find some examples of small (like, Raspberry-Pi-small) Fediverse instances that shut down because the traffic was too much for them. Do you know of any examples? Blog posts or other URLs with explanations would be helpful.

(Note that this is somewhat different from the thundering herd problem when someone shares a link on the Fediverse to a non-Fediverse site.)

The code doesn't do anything yet, but I'm fairly happy with the project layout for troubled_waters so far. I think it makes pretty good use of `just`, `pyproject.toml`, and `uv`/`pdm`/`pipx`.

The big thing I'm not completely happy with so far is that it's not exactly configurable whether it uses `uv` alone or `pdm` and `pipx` together. Either way, though, zero assumptions are made about what version of Python you may or may not have on PATH.

Obnoxious "AI" enthusiast quotes, snark

Reading a blog post by the guy who made a name for himself by being annoying on the ocaml repo among others

"I recently discovered that I possess certain AI-assisted superpowers"

Off the psychosis race right off the bat, mkay.

"This PR was entirely AI-generated over the course of 2–3 days. Can you tell?"

Yes. We can all tell, bud.

"I asked Claude to show me the differences between two code paths — yes, you can ask models to describe code! —"

Epiphany ain't what it used to be.

"even if I didn’t type the code myself, I own it"

Dubious, but the US Copyright Office's claims about mixing in human contributions to legitimize these otherwise *unownable* pieces of IP are vague enough that even someone like you can probably cross the threshold by accident.

"It feels a bit like being a principal engineer guiding a team of mid- to junior-level developers."

Here I am pretending to be surprised that you devalue other human beings. But the shamelessness of doing it loudly sure is something. Hope you can collaborate more with your peers, y'all deserve each other.

"my real constraint is cognitive bandwidth"

I agree with this.

"Overall, I feel like a coding god."

Must be true.

But we cannot just trust the DID doc alone. Because a user can claim to belong to that service while they don't. This can happen because they have full control over their did doc. For example, someone can have did doc pointing to bsky PDS while that PDS doesn't know about them.

The service should register itself to the user DID doc. This is quite obvious but I didn't realized at first time and struggled for a while. There is no registration step for AppView. AV is just a client and registration is done to decentralized services, stored in user DID doc.

1. the service itself should check if they want to register the user. obviously they cannot accept every registration from all network 2. signed PLC operation through PDS requires auth (even with email verification), so the service itself should create session with identity:* permission.

sharing my experiments with using "services" in DID doc. Say I'm going to add a new non-PDS service for atproto users. The registration step should be done from the service, and not from appview or via xrpc calls. The service itself should be able to perform as client. Two reasons:
