OK, not the *main* story of the day... but, the v6 major upgrade guide (and several brand new or revamped docs) was a BIG part of Team Docs life for months.
A lot of us worked on it. I hope it works for you when you upgrade! (And if it doesn't... well, that's just an opportunity to contribute yourself!)
Most economists agree that by the time you're 50, you should be living in a book-filled cottage at the edge of the forest and solving minor mysteries in your village with the aid of a curious ghost cat.

So - an edtech surveillance vendor is doing something that looks a lot like human subject research on kids.
If you are a parent in a district that uses Securly, ask to see those data sharing agreements.

A very incomplete list of things an ordinary #human can do for or with you that an #AI bot can't:
- Give you a hug
- Give you a kiss
- Snuggle with you
- Hold your hand
- Give you a literal shoulder to cry on
- Do your hair
- Do your housework
- Cook you a meal
- Walk your dog
- Play a physical sport or game with you
Feel free to add to this list

Machine translations are often brought up as a gotcha whenever I criticize LLMs. It's worth pointing out two things: Machine translations existed decades before LLMs, and yes, machine translations are useful. However: I would never in my life read a machine translated book. Understanding what a social media post is talking about in rough terms? Sure. Literature? Absolutely not. Hell, have you ever seen machine translated subtitles? It's absolute garbage.
Quick! I need a game design idea for a 3D game that only uses a cube. Cube can be different colors. I need something to match Blender skillz.
It’s incredibly ironic that since AI is trained on buggy code it’s very good at writing buggy code.
Truly a monkey’s paw situation for AI productivity gains as you are now producing bugs at a faster rate.

@mcc the comparison of building AI to building golden idols is wow a comparison that i had not considered until i read it but now feels so natural im surprised i never did
@emaytchmargot great monuments in space. it is no longer so expensive to build a great stone edifice, we have concrete. so to prove you are so exorbitantly wealthy you can expend it on a proof of your own wastefulness, you put your monuments in space. that is what the "data centers" are

Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.
tl;dr:
- The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.
- If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.
- If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.
- Cases of repeated violations of these ... guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.

The #Forgejo monthly report was published ✨
Forgejo was present at FOSDEM. The Forgejo runner received multiple bug fixes and new features. The helm chart received two minor changes. Improvements were made to the infrastructure.
CSS transition? Good for her.
@mcc never attribute to malice what rampant greed readily explains. They’re all chasing the pipe dream of epic world change returns. From what I’m seeing ‘Capital’ is finally starting to refuse feeding that fire.
@BabblingGeekQue Should we treat "malice" and "rampant greed" as two different things? If so, why?

At work the development team keeps getting more and more into "agents" and I am increasingly dreading those meetings because I feel it affecting my relationship to people.

Checking out SwiftGodot here! It’s cool! The tutorial has us copying the dylib manually from SwiftPM’s .build folder into the Godot project. Does this mean that we’d need to copy it every time we update the Swift code? Is there some build config step I’m missing?
Mass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.
How unprofessional would it be to have stickers on my laptop that say:
- The horrors persist but so do I
- Born to ride dragons, forced to answer emails
- Fueled by coffee, music & books
- No, just, nope
- Didn't Stab Anyone Today. Yet.
