I knew @pkw was talking about developer bandwidth, and I'm not convinced it takes much of that either.

@pkw If your operating system has one developer and one user, it's a project of a couple hours to write a daemon that always returns an "18+" signal. If your project has one developer and a number of users, you add systemd-birthdaysd to your standard distribution and have done with it. If your name is Suckless, you write your own daemon to parse /etc/passwd and it takes you a couple weeks tops.

We can have a separate discussion about whether we're being frogboiled into accepting a surveillance state. But "what if I don't want to" is not an excuse.

@pkw I'm not convinced it takes thay much bandwidth, and as for need, I mean, legal compliance is pretty important

@pkw @david_chisnall doesn't have the bandwidth to...store a file of birthdays and run a service to allow programs to query the user's age?

@petergleick just in case this wasn't scary enough: https://apnews.com/article/anthropic-hegseth-ai-pentagon-military-3d86c9296fe953ec0591fcde6a613aba

@sammy @adafruit don't forget using said software to write most of this blog post!

@golemwire a platform full of artists and indie webdevs and other people generally on the political left hating on the art theft machine that regularly knocks indie websites offline and has as its stated goal the concentration of power in the hands of the wealthy through the threat of automating creatives out of a job, and destroys the environment and leaves whole communities without reliable electricity and water while doing so. who'da thunk it

@adafruit we don't hate women for using tools that make their lives easier because something something lazy, we hate anybody who uses the plagiarism machine that bulldozes indie websites *because it's the goddamn plagiarism machine that bulldozes indie websites*

we are just as hostile to straight white male vibe coders, if not more so.

also don't think we didn't notice you AI generated about half this blog post too

@tek screw it, that's all i wanted anyway.

anyone got a recommendation for a good meshtastic radio?

@n_dimension also by the way, make no mistake. i was not saying you were smart. i was saying LLMs are that dumb.

@n_dimension human reddit is bad enough. i'd rather gouge out my eyeballs than read a version of reddit where every single user is the same hallucinating sycophant machine with a different context buffer.

thanks for the offer though

@n_dimension They didn't choose shit. We did, and then we gave them access to it.

@n_dimension i've met a lot of people who believe LLMs are smarter than they are. they were not a well educated bunch.

even still, i don't think i've ever met one who was right. and although your bio is severely testing me, i have to say that includes you.

surely even you must know that the ability to send money does not make an enity capable of effectively managing it?

@solonovamax non vibe coders have a long and lucrative career ahead of them cleaning up this mess

@jenny753
the fact it's not even close

@pathunstrom i have been called a fascist for telling people to vote for kamala harris instead of jill stein
