Developer of PieFed, a sibling of Lemmy & Mbin.
There are probably a variety of mindsets that will do it.
For me, I think it was just really wanting to get away from being under the boot. Get away from the walled gardens. Like that feeling after using LinkedIn, except for the OS. Hearing the call of freedom, authenticity and humanity.
Increasing amounts of code running on my computer and in the online services I use will be written by generative AI.
Emphasis added by me.
Thing is, it’s not black and white most of the time - usually a developer is using Gen AI as an assistant in some capacity. There are a wide range of ways to do that with really big differences in how firmly their hand remains on the wheel of where things are going. Only in the most extreme “vibe coding” scenario would it be fair to characterize the code as “written by AI”.
There reaches a point somewhere on the spectrum of dependency on AI where quality would suffer and developer capacity-building would be stunted. Where that point is, is a more productive question than a binary Yes or No to all AI.
Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn’t.
After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn’t worth it.
Even teenage girls?
You seem to be saying that teenage girls should have known FB was manipulating them and just closed the app.
Maybe reduced demand in USA will lower prices everywhere else…
Google has put a lot of effort into detecting and blocking stuff like this. They call it “click fraud”, if you want to look it up.
It’ll just mean they start ignoring clicks from you.
That’s very cool.
It’ll be interesting to see how it goes in a year’s time, maybe they’ll have raised their expectations and tightened the deadlines by then.
As well as the algorithm, there are also structural things.
For example tweets limited to 160 characters favor simplistic solutions, which the far right provide. An endless stream of random unrelated nuggets of ideas create a fugue of confusion, perfect for injecting disinformation. Ruined attention spans can only grasp simplistic solutions. Video-based media means surface appearance matters more than substance. And so on.
Preach!
I think I’m in love. That’s the best text mode rendering I’ve seen and I’ve tried them all.
Try https://piefed.social/ on lynx, I tried pretty hard to make it usable in a text-mode browser.
offpunk is very different from all others I’ve tried. Very small.

MailCow is similar except uses docker. I expect that will mean easier maintenance as it is less tightly bound to the underlying OS.
Could be, although codeberg goes down more than anything else I use so this could be normal.

I’ve never heard of Winapps so did a quick google. Their repository has not been updated in 5 years so it looks abandoned. Probably a bad idea to use it. https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps
You have the privilege of not giving a shit about racist attacks.
This ^ ^ ^ is what privilege looks like.
Like github, except open source.
A lot of fediverse-related projects use it.
You’re going to have to prioritise.
