@stefano
Of course! 😊 
Oct 2, 2026, 1:12 PM@82mhz honestly the announcement writing style and the website itself for "Little Fedi" give me evil vibes

@joel
Interesting... why? - Oct 2, 2026, 1:51 PM
@82mhz I mean LLM-generated vibes, it just feels kinda weird to me idk, hope I'm wrong tho cuz the software itself looks quite epic

Ok well, this was developed by the maintainer of the instance I'm on, who has spoken out against AI multiple times and only recently changed the instace policy to "do not promote AI". So I'd be VERY surprised if this was vibe coded ;) - Chad McCulloughchadmccullough@bsd.cafeOct 2, 2026, 2:13 PM
Adamadamsdesk@fosstodon.orgOct 4, 2026, 7:24 PM@82mhz Oh I agree with you these changes are so frustrating from the end user perspective regarding YouTube or even websites for that matter. I don't like reviewing videos and then question whether I've watched it or not. You investigate to find out oh yeah a new thumbnail and title after I've already seen it.
I've come across quite a few website posts that say one title in the head tag but then another on the page itself as a heading. Which honestly has been quite misleading.

I also hate the Internet as it is. Did I tell you I love going back to #IRC?

@farooqkz
You didn't tell me, but it doesn't surprise me either ;)
I never got into IRC, not back then and not today... but I wish I had the old days of having everyone back on ICQ to chat with ;) - Farooq [Master Patata]farooqkz@bsd.cafeOct 9, 2026, 11:15 AM
I think the problem's not with the Internet and the tech by nature, but the problem's with the mainstream one which want to engage you as much as possible.
I do hate me Android phone. And I also do hate the concept that I have to be online 24/7. That I have to have the phone with me to answer anytime. Whenever, I go for a walk, the only things I've got with me are the keys and me plain casio watch.
And I have a dedicated device for reading(an ebook reader) which does not receive notifications. I get disconnected from the world, and get drown into another world.
