Ich bleib noch ein bisschen liegen.

I'm not trying to create a panic. This is a boundary. If you wouldn’t let your kid join Twitter, if you wouldn’t let them Google health symptoms unsupervised, don’t let them outsource cognition to a system you don’t understand.

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

do you like discord?
no?

do you wanna help with replacing it?
go check out polyproto!

we're slowly inching towards defining a specification and implementing it so that we can build our very own federated discord-type chatting program :)

doesn't mean we want it to be a clone, though! we would like to take some...creative liberties down the line but that's for the future.

For now, if you're interested in working on this and wanna pick up some low-hanging fruit in rust or want to write documentation and specifications, we'd love to have u around!

also, feel free to leave questions! I've been meaning to write up an FAQ anyways.

I realized that I hadn't drawn anything with wolves or werewolves in a while, and it was upsetting to me, so I drew this art. Yay!

@akane
NOOOOOOO

DDos (Distributed Denial of Service) attack against BlueSky a few days ago: The whole network goes down.

DDoS against mastodon.social today: Lots of users on that instance impacted, the rest of the Fediverse keeps on running, my instance doesn't really notice, messages will be queued up until mastodon.social is reachable again.

Both networks claim to be decentralised and federated. You decide :)

@ReignOfRaining
I tried running `file` on it, and it gets recognized as [MPEG-TS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_transport_stream), maybe something along the way is trying to detect the format and "helpfully" adding the extension

@mayonnaise @ReignOfRaining seems like it uploaded as .mp4.mts for some reason, that’d probably be why it exploded

age verification but it's just a dialog box that asks "are you old" and the answers are "yes" and "maybe later"

every linux problem is personalized

"Hello World" - experimental Illustration for Folleach, with their bonk painting a world of his dreams. Knowing him, it'll have free wi-fi for everyone, and maybe some rivers and smaller streams to toy around with the boats in ^v^
Quite happy with how this one turned out, and will keep experimenting with this style in the future!

@puppygirlhornypost2 I’m on floorp (firefox based), and I seem to be able to force the native right click menu by holding shift while right clicking, maybe give that a shot
