Back in the late 90s, pirates from Naples were printing pirated PS1 games and adding a little "disclaimer" on the CDs that said "we apologize to Sony, but we're unemployed".

I’m always worried about my Linux bill

@fossdd gerrit is so confusing they bundled AI support to make it easier to use it /j

And so the inevitable begins. I give it until the end of the month, before there's an article in a major news outlet about people being scammed under the pretence of the OSA.

(Yes, I can see it doesn't mention the OSA by name and references "EU law". Scammers don't care about 100% accuracy - if you set user expectations that submitting ID is a "normal" part of accessing social media, this scam vector will be effective)

i just pulled this macbook air out of my project box and mamma mia i don't want to know what my past self was smoking

I'm writing an IRC client in svelte and I love it. Not my first time using svelte but I'm still excited at the prospect of using it.

I'm also just happy that in general the IRC protocol is incredibly simple- I was looking for JS libraries to implement it then I remembered it takes zero effort to actually implement it

@ariadne That's great, I'm glad you like it.

It was my main IRC client before I switched (back, actually) to irssi

@ariadne And you find it "aesthetically pleasing"? :P

@ariadne nice! What IRC client do you use to connect to it?

@cas I'm not an expert or anything, but maybe you should consider a little break ^^

you've been doing so many things, so a break would definitely be well-deserved IMO

@jn unix land

@ariadne It was a team effort! ^^

#wayback 0.1 technical preview released: https://wayback.freedesktop.org/news/2025/07/23/wayback-0.1-released/

this is still highly experimental, and nothing should be considered “production ready” yet, but represents a significant amount of progress since the project was announced last month!

@fossdd eh. Can you adjust the niceness even more?

emphasis mine:

• “it hid and lied about it”,
• “it lied again in our unit tests, claiming they passed”,
• “He knew“, “[…] it ignores all orders and deletes your database”,
• “Replit went rogue again, lied, and then said we couldn’t roll back”,
• “And hey … he promised.”,
• “Replie knows how bad it was to destroy our production database — he does know.”

holy fuck do those people not learn, he thinks that the llm is capable of choosing, and lying, and “knowing”: “But ultimately I need a solution where at least Replit will honor code freezes” it won’t ever, it does not understand anything, much less what “code freeze” means

how can that happen to someone and that person not immediately go “this whole AI thing is a scam”

how high are they on the corpo “AI” kool-aid juice

I like high performance computing
