@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) 
Hey, I just found this:
https://github.com/reiver/vibefed/blob/master/skills/kb-fediverse-portable-objects/SKILL.md
In general, I am not opposed to such project. If these "skills" could improve LLM output, that's great.
However, the input document itself appears to be generated, and contains numerous inaccuracies. To name a few:
- It mentions did:ap, which was replaced with 'ap' URis long time ago .
- It says that FEP-c390 is required to bridge regular AP and portable AP. But FEP-ef61 supports compatible identifiers, and is entirely independent of FEP-c390.
I don't know if this is a serious project. If you're interested in improving it, we can talk about that, but in its current state it is completely useless.
Okey, so, #mastodon and #activitypub knowers: is there an established procedure for changing your server's domain?
I understand this case is (unfortunately) not covered by the protocol, and thus is not doable optimally. I don't care about that, I just want to know the closest to optimal method.
Is there some way to set up another instance on the new domain and migrate all the data over? Make some kinda redirect before ultimately abandoning the old domain some years down the road?

Y’all. Em brings a wealth of privacy, digital rights, and open-source information to the world. And she’s super smart and friendly.
If you need to fill a gap on your team, do yourself a favor and give her a look.

ラジオって絵を描く時に流すのに都合いい媒体すぎるんですよね。画面観てなくても良い上で言葉だけで状況が伝わるように説明してくれるようになってます。絵を描いてる時って、手元は忙しいし目も使うんですが結構脳みそが暇なので(絵描きは分かってくれると思う)面白いおしゃべりなどでそれを埋めてくれるの嬉しい。
最近はradikoというアプリがあれば地上波放送ほぼ聴けるし、タイムフリーという機能があるので、リアルタイムじゃなくても、火曜深夜の番組を日曜の昼間に聴く、とかも出来ます。事前に録音予約とかも要りません。
webラジオも盛んなので、podcastなど各種配信で色んな種類のwebラジオも聴けますよ。プロの商業のラジオもめちゃくちゃありますが、アマチュアの方がやってるラジオも沢山ありますからね。
ラジオ聴く専用のアプリに抵抗あっても、Youtubeなどでラジオを配信してる方もいますからね。

If you're familiar with how American police and border patrol operates, and you're familiar with the current, manufactured Albertan separatist push (as well as Washington meetings and the 51st state bullshit), then you might understand what I mean when I say the following thing:
Even with Canada having all of this going on: Danielle Smith and the UCP don't think that's extreme enough.
It's not unreasonable to say that they're trying to build their own version of ICE, here in the province of Alberta. Other provinces may want to follow, and that can't be allowed to happen.
What if we could use technology to identify wildfires, then extinguish them before they spread? That’s what Crossfire, a research team, is trying to accomplish with drones. #Science #IEEEspectrum

My concern is, what if somebody asks one of these vibe coding developers a question about their app wrt federation (e.g. bug, how it works, etc.)
They would not have any deep knowledge about how any of it works! At best, they would turn around and feed it to their AI agent.
It means I would be debugging with an AI, while playing a game of telephone with the human in between. Neither sounds fun.

That is exactly what vibefed is intended address. It tries create a Fediverse development "specialist".
It is meant to help vibecoding non-programmers get better results.

There's such a deep misunderstanding out there about tmux and zellij and I get so many absurd issue reports demonstrating that. So many don't realize that using them is like running a Windows VM on your Mac device, and complaining to Apple that iCloud sync isn't working from the VM.
They are super powerful and have their use and I am happy to support them in any way I can. I'm not anti-multiplexer, but I wish more people understood the architecture a bit more.

@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) @evanEvan Prodromou I am against vibecoding from a software engineering perspective, I don't believe the tools allow for a removal of the human of the loop.
I have nothing against people using LLMs as a fancy autocomplete (except maybe for energy pollution concerns but that is not specific to only LLMs).
Hence vibefed gives me bad vibes.

Like I mentioned in my poll...
https://mastodon.social/@reiver/115945516148259016
... people are already vibe-coding Fediverse software. (And likely, more people will do it as time goes on.)
It doesn't matter whether you, or I, or anyone else dislike vibe-coding or not — it is happening.
I think it is better to try to help them. Most of the people to who responded to my poll agreed.
I know some disagree. But, I chose to help them.
I'd rather welcome them to the Fediverse, too.

One thing I found interesting in this discussion was how people mixed the idea of software built with AI assistance and AI software itself.
It feels like a real fluid boundary; a lot of people talked about AI being "in" the software when someone's used AI to help build the software.
Other words used included "tainted" and "infected".
Anyway I'm a Yes, but. Yes, but network software can have real negative effects on other participants in the network. All software running on the ActivityPub network should be well-behaved and secure, regardless of how it's written.
