I use Radicle now because scrapers I have to lock down gitea
@sun @SuperDicq at least let the ai companies scrape the vibed stuff coming out of their products ;)
@SuperDicq @sun i'm just posting half serious takes while drinking a tea BUT it is kind of funny ouroboros situation. if you don't allow them to scrape, the llms wont get better. *insert something about dilemma of commons
@SuperDicq @sun while i'm critical of llms and don't want to use them, moon doing fun things is about the least bad thing i can think of with llms. i don't see why i should shit on that.
@SuperDicq @sun you can not like what someone does but still respect them. e.g. i don't like the church, but i don't shit on people active in the church if they don't do harm to anyone - usually they even do good. moon works to do nice things for fedi, i don't need to shit on this. i only find the irony in that scrapers are an annoyance for self hosting llm generated code funny, but those scrapers are annoying for me as well.
@sun @SuperDicq almost every build and module system is absolute hell to use and i quit using languages when possible if the tooling is shit. the only half decent one i know is go, and even that has warts.
@sun @SuperDicq i don't think the environmental arguments about power usage or datacenters are very good, especially when considering other opinions the same people hold on certain wars etc. the datacenter water usage is a problem, but using fresh water for cooling is pretty stupid anyway. putting datacenters on a green meadow is retarded as well, put them in some industrial area. the issue is HOW things are done, imo.
@sun @SuperDicq out of interest, how does the church in japan handle buddhism and shinto? my main gripe with christianity (and the other monotheistic religions) is that they have been great destroyers of culture.
Overall, the way I got started with C was probably just about the worst way possible, and I would have been better off reading some proper books on it. But I'm incredibly thick when it comes to learning, don't have the patience for it, and oftentimes end up just smashing my head against things until it kinda sorta sticks.
@snacks @SuperDicq @CapitalB @sun there are ways you can fingerprint a curl | sh and sneak a malicious script in. Besides that, you can't read the installer source when doing that.
@snacks @SuperDicq @CapitalB @sun I can verify a binary if they provide a signed checksums file. You cannot do that when you blindly pipe a script into sh. It's not about trust really, but about avoiding compromised sites/installers.
@snacks @SuperDicq @CapitalB @sun If the checksums file is signed with the developers key published elsewhere, or on a key server. You can publish fake checksums all you want, but the signature won't be correct against the developer's key. Only a hash collision would be an issue.
