Back in the day at a previous gig I tried and largely failed to convince anyone that sudden upswings in people sharing detailed instructions about screwing around in the guts of the product should be treated the same as sudden upswings in crash rates: a capital-I Incident that deserves near term attention and careful retrospective investigation.
What is this, if not a user expectation going so badly unmet that people are _happy_ to risk bricking their box to fix it?

RE: floss.social/@IzzyOnDroid/1155…
Thanks to 8 amazing "busy bees" of our amazing community, half of the list at codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… has been successfully processed by now. Could we maybe motivate another 8 "busy bees" to help us completing the rest?
1. pick any app you feel comfortable with
2. test if it still works as expected
3. write a short comment (or toot) with your results
4. repeat with the next app if time (and fun?) permits
5. also check codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every… for more 😉
This is a spin-off from #10 where I'd like some input from the team, concerning how to handle the following unmaintained apps which might be considered niche: * [x] [`com.ionicframework.backingtrainer763961`](https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.Codeberg.org
Dear #IzzyOnDroid community, we need your help for keeping our repo as useful as possible. No tech knowledge needed for this one, so anybody who's got an #Android device and some spare time can jump in here:codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/Every…
Are you using any of those apps, or would be willing to install one (or more) of them to see if they are still useful? Please then report there, or here to this #serviceToot – so we can get that issue solved 🙏
Thank you all in advance!

In today's edition of #ChatGPT imagines a non-existent #curl feature, much to @bagder 's dismay...
As passed along by my colleague who discovered this, the prompt included: "find a website that is actually hosted on physical infrastructure in Guam"
and ChatGPT suggested one on #Akamai but then suggested using the no-existent --no-cdn flag to skip straight to the origin. Please don't take this as a suggestion to implement such a feature. 🙂

I really need to move instances; yiff.life softblocking (or whatever the hell it's called, I can only see stuff from there if it's replies or I followed the ) mastodon.social is a real fucking pain in the ass if you actually want to use the service.
Any suggestions?
If you don't mind the local timeline being all Germans talking about Nazis bad and trains delayed chaos.social is honestly nice enough, I can hook you up with an invite just lmk.
They do block the worst scum and they ended up defederating Threads after seeing their moderation policy, but they don't seem to block instances lightly.
You are expected to at least somewhat CW some stuff I believe and mods can get annoyed if you are careless but I never ran into trouble myself.
I'm not complaining about the local timeline btw, I'm glad the general consensus here is "fascism is bad actually, let's not do that again"
Though I wouldn't mind more cut content
One more reason why your social media platform should not have an attached, easily accessible API.
It's far too easy for LLMs (through coding agents) to stalk others for you.
"look through the last 1000 posts of this person and figure out if we can hire them, we have offices in <insert list of cities here>" is absolutely doable right now. That's an euphemism for "I want to know where my ex lives right now" that is palatable to LLMs.
On this day in 1998 the first module of the International Space Station, Zarya, was laucnhed. That's 26 years ago.
I've been avoiding new music lately. It's a painful thing, because I actually don't want to. But I also don't know what else to do. The truth is that everything could be AI, and I'm so skeptical of artists I don't know. Every new release, every song a service suggests, I'm asking. And the paranoia sucks.
Please don't tell me to just move past it and accept it, this is something I feel strongly about and I'm allowed my own convictions. I just hate the concept with a passion and cannot figure out how to simultaneously avoid it and be able to try/have access to new things.
Ironically, this is where TikTok comes in super handy. Most of the songs I hear on there are sung live, as some kind of demonstration or promo, and if the artist on the original sounds the same, I'm relatively convinced.
Your creativity is definitely not threatened by AI. If people choose to listen to it and prefer it over music that people put their soul into, that's their problem. If you enjoy what you do and you do it because you enjoy doing it, nothing else matters.
I have been rejected because of AI from a huge company that values quantity over quality these days. Was it disappointing? Sure, when you can't pay your bills because you don't have a job it's more than disappointing. But you are empowering AI more if you give up doing what you like because of it and I can't do that.
Today I'm reviewing soundness. I'm so used to thinking about proofs as establishing truth (compelling belief) it was hard for me to distinguish the |- (derivability) and |= (semantic entailment) worlds.
I think I got it eventually, but it's not a very natural way for me to think, at least yet.
A real Hackerone #curl report title!:
"Out-of-bounds read in *** potential crash. This is sharp, <reporter name>. We've got a real memory safety bug"
The AI is helpfully cheering the guy onwards to slopping. Of course, it is a false positive.
