3h agoShould a #nonprofit that appears to have not filed a required 990 form two years ago, in the same year that 75% of the more than $400k they raised seems to have been spent still be soliciting funds for new projects? One who's entire board appears to have silently resigned at some point? And where there is only one public name associated, and no bylaws, elections, or any managing processes published?
Should that ring alarm bells?
10/9/2026Seeing all the breathless articles and videos about #artcraft and their "clean room" #AI copy of #Adobe 's suite of tools (#lightroom / #photoshop / #premier / etc) is demonstrating how little people understand what a clean room implementation looks like. Simply declaring your vibe coded copy a clean room implementation does not make it so. The tool had access to both the original and the clone. Thus the room is not clean.

The history of computing, as commonly understood, needs to be reexamined and rebuilt to center those who were pushed aside, ignored or simply not talked about once the white men followed in their footsteps and it became about Hewlett, Packard, Jobs, Gates, and so on. Margaret did far more to establish technology in our daily lives than, say, Marc Andreeson has ever done.

One of our best contributors, please thank him for his work and be kind about his well deserved break.

9/28/2026Using a chatbot to debate people online is akin to having an argument with someone while secretly asking your friend for the answers, creating a debate between two people who have no idea they are debating. Except in this case you are tricking someone into debating a nonsense machine.
Do not use #ChatGPT to debate for you. It's rude and deceptive. If you can't make your case, just accept defeat and walk away.
9/24/2026In case anyone is wondering, the flood of attempted signups continues....165 more since yesterday.

Not shocked. I've pointed out that the seemingly intelligent responses "AI" gives are likely hardcoded common requests rather than any sort of reasoning. It's a powerful marketing stunt they can perform live, or suggest to others to try as "features they've been working on" with none the wiser that it's literally just a code path.

9/23/2026Hey, today I learned that the official Mastodon docker compose file has *three* containers that need their versions updated when you do an update, and that a version mismatch will silently prevent other instances from seeing posts!

9/22/2026530 pending signups on the instance from similarly named randomized account names. Damn good thing we have manual approval on this instance or we'd be a major source of spam.

Incredibly disappointing to see a project that was seemingly so well run, future focused and making such smart decisions take a turn towards AI development. I've been prepping for a move to self-hosted email with Stalwart but it seems I'll need to find an alternative.
Furthermore the lack of any consideration of the ethical costs demonstrate typical Tech Bro mentality, and eliminates any trust I would have in this project going forward.
9/15/2026Had to stop following a 'leftist' who was chastising people on the left for being critical of Sanders teaming up with Bannon for his AI proposals.
Fuck #bernie
