Just had someone leave feedback on my F/OSS project saying “maybe that's fine if a product is focused on your Chinese community.”

I'm Korean. Every single piece of documentation is in English. There's nothing in Chinese anywhere in the project.

This kind of microaggression is exhausting. As a non-white maintainer, you deal with these assumptions constantly—people who feel entitled to your labor while casually othering you based on your name.

It chips away at your motivation. It makes you wonder why you bother.

Holy fuck... Some of the people on the solar installation community forum...

【健之堂虎乳芝強肺免疫配方特約】一名英國乘客近日乘搭瑞安航空(Ryanair)期間,因機上餐點質素與宣傳圖片嚴重不符而大感不滿,形容該餐點是自己「吃過最差的飛機餐」,事後向航空公司申請退款卻被拒,引起關注。

事發於本月10日,60歲的 Mike Crosby 乘搭由都柏林飛往倫敦的航班,期間以12.5歐元(約114港元)購買一份機上套餐,包括一杯咖啡、一條朱古力及一個芝士火腿意大利三文治(Panini)。惟食物送上後,其外觀及份量與機上雜誌宣傳圖片落差甚大,令他感到震驚。

Crosby指出,宣傳圖片中的三文治外皮金黃、餡料豐富,但實際到手的產品僅夾着兩片極薄的火腿,並塗上一層難以辨認的芝士狀醬料,而且只覆蓋麵包的一小部分。他形容該三文治「完全不像圖片」,直言:「那應該是芝士火腿,但看起來不像任何我認得的火腿,芝士也不像芝士,更像是一種醬。」他只吃了兩口便將整個三文治丟棄。

stay away from Crowdbucks, it's a fairly obvious scam from a vibe coding bro, attempting to affinity-fraud the fediverse

social.treehouse.systems/@pndc
s.basspistol.org/notes/agipgkl

EDIT: and from a few months ago social.chinwag.org/@mike/11506

the guy is Charles Iliya Krempeaux, his past history is an assortment of dodgy Canadian fintechs and being a "startup entrepreneur", this is his attempt to monetise the fediverse. when it goes south, he's rich enough to leave you dangling. as those foolish enough to sign up have discovered, it already doesn't actually work.

on the plus side, it isn't literally crypto. on the minus side, it just smells like it.

@pndc (@pndc@treehouse.systems)

My attention has been drawn to CrowdBucks (https://crowdbucks.fund/). It's being portrayed as an open-source distributed blah blah Fediverse payments system please use us uwu. But the code is undocumented, and the website is detail-free and just pushes you to create an account on *their website* using your Mastodon account for auth. I've declined to do this so don't know what happens next. From what I can tell, it's just a way to make them a middleman in Stripe payments. So, what value does it add over just using Stripe directly? Do they take a cut? The classic crypto exchange "you failed our KYC checks" 100% cut? If I can indeed host it locally, again, why would I choose to use it instead of Stripe directly? It feels a bit crypto-adjacent, but AFAICT it is not related to the shitcoin of the same name. The code does at least appear to be written by a human rather than AI. AI bothers to add comments :) (I didn't clone the repos and explore it fully as it's hosted on the end of a bit of wet string. I just randomly sampled some source files in the forge web interface, so I might have missed something important.) But it all feels a bit off. When a developer comes up with something that they think is world-changing, you usually can't shut them up about it and they will explain it in so much detail that your ears will seal up in self-defence. But for this project? Tumbleweed. I wonder if @davidgerard@circumstances.run might be interested in having a nose around.

altbot v2.4 is here!!

just pushed a pretty significant update, swapped out the old gemma3 27b model for qwen3-vl:30b-a3b-thinking and holy shit the difference is noticeable

the cool thing about this model is it's very dynamic, simple images get quick, concise descriptions without overexplaining everything. and with complex images, it takes its time and actually thinks through what it's looking at. you get better alt-text without wasting compute on stuff that doesn't need it.

basically: smarter where it counts, efficient where it doesn't.

oh and here's the part that made me double-check my math: electricity usage dropped by MORE THAN 10x. complex images that used to cost ~0.950 Wh now only use ~0.092 Wh. this is thanks to MoE (mixture of experts) architecture, despite being a 30b parameter model, it only activates 3b worth of parameters at a time. so you get way better results while using a fraction of the power.

been testing this for a bit now and honestly really happy with the results. descriptions are more accurate, less hallucination-y, and the model describes way better than before.

as always, altbot is fully open source and processes everything locally, no data gets sent to third parties. your images stay private.

if you wanna support continued development:

thanks for helping make the fediverse more accessible :3
