Amazon AI tool is breaking too much in AWS, funny I kind of wrote about this two days ago https://x.com/lukolejnik/status/2031257644724342957

@stefanoStefano Marinelli I never dealt with insurance companies too much but I can imagine, one of the reasons why I'm thankful for socialized (for yet) healthcare is because dealing with such companies when they can decide on your life or death is a terrible prospect.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I don't understand why they keep seeing it delete peoples' entire codebases and saying "Well I should just give this even more access to everything in my life"

난 맥북도 싱크패드도 별로 좋아하지 않는데, 디스플레이 붙은 기기는 자기 주장이 강하면 안 된다고 보기 때문이다. 매끈한 금속도, 시꺼먼 플라스틱도 내가 화면 보고 작업할 때 방해가 된다. 익숙해지면 괜찮다고 하지만, "밋밋한 기계"와 비교하면 그래도 차이가 있다. 꺼졌을 때는 가볍고, 켰을 때는 눈에 띄지 않는 게 좋다. 델, hp 노트북이 이런 계열이었는데 맥북 따라한다고 꽤 화려해져서 불만이다.

Looking forward to Web Day Out https://webdayout.com on Thursday!

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @KimPerales I'll bet $100 the incidents would have happened even with sign off. No one wants to review slop.

OK! Editing posts now works.

A fully complete #ActivityPub server in under 80KB of code.

I think supporting polls will be too hard, so I'm declaring this feature complete (although not bug free) for now.

If you have any suggestions for how to improve it - let me know 🙂

Ein großer Berg ist abgearbeitet. Ich habe alle eure Shop-Einreichungen geprueft, insgesamt über 200! Ich werde hier und da bei einigen Shops noch an den Details feilen, aber das Gros ist geschafft.

Wenn euch dieses Projekt gefällt und ihr evtl. sogar nutzt, dann freue ich mich, wenn ihr es weitersagt und verbreitet. Ich glaube, Viele teilen momentan den gemeinsamen Gedanken von "Support your Locals" (und die Kleinen natürlich auch).

Habt ihr Anregungen in Sachen Bedienung, Funktionalität etc., dann lasst es mich wissen. Ich notiere mir alles und mache mir Gedanken.

Wollt ihr Shops faven können?
Wollt ihr euch Shops in einem Account merken?
Wollt ihr sehen, wie oft ein Shop von anderen gefavt wurde?
Oder wollt ihr...?

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber sadly it looks to be true https://blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2026/03/tony-hoare-1934-2026.html

Given how core MS, Github, AWS and co are, and their YOLO in the AI code approach. We are probably months out from an utterly catastrophic AI driven availability or security related incident.

How does Loops Starter Kits prevent abuse?

You can only add accounts that support a new actor field, and if supported, approval with public attestation is required before they can be publicly included.

Basically, you have to get permission first, publicly.

Accounts from software that doesn't support the new actor field will not appear in search results when adding accounts.

When I was a teen, I was a member of an anime club held at the university of Toronto. Their schedule was published via their finger account. Their social media was a single text file.

I still love the finger service and continue to use it

Listening to @404media.co@bsky.brid.gy talk about how insanely huge @roblox.com@bsky.brid.gy is as a social network in their latest podcast. I had no idea. Makes me remember that it might be useful to think of bluesky or the fediverse in terms more like MMOs or whatever that acronym is

There are 80+ new and updated files that power the new #Loops Starter Kits feature!

From exploration to curation, I've built a highly polished experience that is open, accessible and federated.

Admins will love the powerful management, that also includes audit logs.

Can't wait to ship this later this week!

My one Tony Hoare (RIP) story:

We got him to keynote our conference one year. We snapped him up afterwards along with a couple of other speakers for dinner, as we usually did, hoping to partake of his wisdom in a more private setting, but Joe Armstrong (also RIP) sat down next to him and started conversing excitedly, and none of the rest of us got a word in edgewise for the rest of the evening.

I realise this was probably more of a Joe Armstrong story.

Shitpost projects, where someone takes an objectively terrible idea and puts way too much effort into executing it well, don't hit the same when we're all drowning in slop.

Did they put any effort into it? Do they realize it was a terrible idea?

Impossible to tell.

Poe's law comes for us all.

Check out this new online storefront for Canadian independent booksellers!

booksellers.ca

The Quebec Cooperative of Independent Bookstores, who have been selling (mostly French-language, but also English) books online for 15 years through leslibraires.ca, have launched a new initiative for independent bookstores across Canada.

There are currently 150 booksellers participating, with 25 English-language stores having now added themselves to the ranks.

I'm tickled pink by this expansion. I always check Les Libraires first when I'm looking to buy a book, in English or French. I even check if I'm looking for something in Spanish, just on the off chance they might have it in stock.

Since the coop's members have historically been mostly French-language sellers, Les Libraires is hit or miss for English titles. So, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this new site develops.

Give them a visit and buy a book to support small, local businesses across the country!

If there's an independent bookshop in your area who might benefit from participating, let them know about the project, too!
