To my knowledge, there is 1 feature that forgejo has that gitea doesn’t: it can generate a new ssh key for you at the click of a button that can be used to push repo changes to another git forge.

I have several personal repos on my forgejo instance that are each setup so that they mirror themselves onto my Codeberg account at noon every day.

I also have a gitea instance on a raspi on my local network that itself will push out changes on certain repos to the (public-facing) forgejo instance.

I can push and/or pull to any of the three origins as needed, but usually I just push to the gitea when I’m at home and the forgejo when I’m not, and let the mirroring take care of propagating changes to Codeberg.

Very cool to see, now if only those comments could show up here in Lemmy…

I see the tumblr culture is already present, congrats! Although I never personally used tumblr, my understanding is that more than features or functionality it was very much the culture that its users cultivated that made that site special.

Yeah, I guess calling them bi is more of a projection of our reality onto theirs. I think you’re spot on with it being about stigma (or the lack thereof, rather).

Agreed on this comic and in general, but Ship To Ship seems to me to acknowledge sexual orientation in their world is similar-ish to ours, right down to the petty antagonisms between “incompatible” orientations. If anything, I’d say the Oglaf world does “everyone is some flavor/degree of bisexual”. There certainly doesn’t seem to be any bigotry over orientations.

I love when Oglaf does lesbians making fun of hetero men (and/or hetero sex), they always know how to keep the jokes silly and not double down on “gays vs straights” tribalism.

The 3 stooges-style robber confrontation and the death of caesar feel like a very young child’s recreation of a story they overheard from adults; very little basis in reality and full of nonsensical assumptions. Or like when a kid is trying to write a story and they come up with “Space Wars: The Fellowship of the Lightsaber, part 2: the Klingon Horcruxes”.

It’s cute when a kid does it, it’s hilarious when an adult does it intentionally. This is just sad.

I suspect there is wisdom to be learned from forest management, specifically how regular, small controlled burns are how you avoid huge, unmanageable forest fires.

But there is one other, probably even more important advantage: Prolog is a programmer’s and software engineer’s dream. It is compact, highly readable, and arguably the “most structured” language of them all. Not only has it done away with virtually all control flow statements, but even explicit variable assignment too! These virtues are certainly reason enough to base not only systems but textbooks on this language.

The 90s certainly were a different time…

I don’t expect ai/LLM tools to make it easier to create nice looking art, but they should make it easier for anyone to create their own placeholder graphics that at least would allow them to run the game on their own.

I don’t think anyone can host a relay right now aside from bluesky.

People can host their own data / Personal Data Server, which is somewhere between self-hosting a mastodon instance and creating an account on someone else’s instance. The actual equivalent would be self-hosting your masto account separately from any instance (which is just not a thing with the current state of mastodon nor activity pub).

You know what? Maybe I will. It’ll certainly be a good bout of catharsis.

Would be the first Isekai I read with genuine interest in a long time.

I like the idea, but then who gets to decide who is and isn’t a credible source? Is it only intra-account verifying? Can anyone verify anyone else, or do you need to be authorized by bluesky to start verifying others?

Succinctly put, though I got some cognitive dissonance when the author wrote about bluesky being their choice of decentralized network to get involved with without even mentioning the hosting costs involved with running a bsky relay (or whichever component of the ATP network actually holds the data “firehose”).

According to this article it took a server that costs around $150/month over 4 days to spin up a working relay, most of which was spent ingurgitating half a terabyte of data (that’s what ended up on disk in any case). Far from exorbitant, yet if I want to self host for my own personal needs it’s still gobs more data and compute than any activity pub software needs.

Maybe my view of “decentralization as in democracy” is just fundamentally different from the author’s. I get the feeling that to them, as long as each friend group has 1 self-hoster in it then democracy through decentralization is preserved. This would make sense that they orient themselves towards something like bluesky and the AT protocol. Personally, I don’t think we should be satisfied with that level of decentralization/democracy - it’s a nice start, but we should strive for reaching at least 50% of people self-hosting an activity pub instance to truly achieve the type of decentralization that serves democracy. Of course, I’m not aware of any activity pub software that can be selfhosted by even 10% of the population, currently, so there’s definitely a lot of work to do before my vision is feasible.

I think the fruit in question is hairy, has brown skin, and green flesh.

Thank you!!!

Doo you happen to have a good, informative link? Or perhaps a company name I could look up?

This sounds incredibly cool.

The antidote?

Believe it or not, also poison.

That means that the harm done by these systems compound the more widely they are used as errors pile up at every stage of work, in every sector of the economy. It builds up an ambient radiation of system variability and errors that magnifies every other systemic issue with the modern state and economy.

Wanted to shout these two sentences out in particular. Best summary of my biggest current fears regarding use of “ai”/llm/transformer(?)-based systems.
