• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the activity_id formats for various platforms?⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  From my own experience querying public mastodon timelines via API:

  • Mastodon user accounts have an ActivityPub URI of https://<instance.domain.tld>/api/v1/users/<username>
  • Mastodon posts have an ActivityPub URI of https://<instance.domain.tld>/api/v1/users/<post_author_username>/statuses/<post_id> (they also have a url property of https://<instance.domain.tld>/@<post_author_username>/<post_id> but that tends to serve the html view of the post)

  To see for yourself, pick an instance that allows viewing their public timeline without logging in (mastodon.social is perfect for this) and follow the “Playing with public data” section of the docs. That page ellides most of the info you’re looking for in the example payloads they give (as the JSON payloads themself are quite large and nested), but I can assure you that AP_IDs for user accounts and posts can be found pretty quickly from a single timeline query.

  I don’t think Mastodon has any notion of community, nor does it distinguish between posts and comments (when following a lemmy community, both posts and comments show up in my masto feed as “top-level” statuses (ie posts)).

  Chatting about video games seems to be the best chance at having a fun convo that doesn’t turn into dehumanizing groups of people. If we can pull that off, given Luigi’s supposed internship at Firaxis, the rotation could scrape by a passable 7/10.

  More realistically, a 2 or 3/10 if the weed is really good. Otherwise I don’t know if I would even bother.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Fediverse Permaculture⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Op, I appreciate that you seem to be genuinely interested in these topics, and are not just farming engagement (which is kinda meaningless here on the Fedi, anyways…). If I may offer a suggestion, try to find a tone that doesn’t sound like a roadmap for some corporate brand strategy. Most of us that are here and would be interested in a “fediverse permaculture” are severely put off by the structure of your post, not to mention it lacks in depth for most suggestions to be directly actionable (for example, the merch you would sell to support the insurance still needs to be made somewhere, by someone, who either needs to be paid for their time or are already independently wealthy).

  Have you taken a look around !permacomputing@slrpnk.net ? Permaculture is not just about principles of mutual support but also a long process of experimentation to see which combinations of which plants and practices works out “for the best”. You might foster more of the conversation you’re looking for if you can bring some more concrete examples or proposals to serve as topics instead of an all-encompassing manifesto post.

  The next time I’m about to moan and complain about how nobody directly implements activitypub apis “the standard way”, I’ll remember this article and be mollified.

  As @abeorch@friendica.ginestes.es states, diversity is a strength when it comes to raising capture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did that 22-year-old get on in the date his dad set him up with?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not who you’re asking, but I assume you find either an instance that is slow to federate, or one that doesn’t honor deletion requests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon admins can now bridge entire instances to Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For instances that already have a user base, admins should not make any significant decisions without the consent of their users. This goes against our values, and we will not permit an instance to use Bridgy Fed in this manner. We’ve had conversations on how to handle a situation like this, and we would block instances [3] from doing so. We strongly expect admins to be loud about bridging, especially during signup. 3/10

  This is very encouraging to read from a project that initially did not understand why many would be opposed to an opt-out bridge to ATProto.

  Eleventh is a static site generator. You run it once, then straight up serve the files it output.

  Server-side rendering is like running eleventy for each incoming webrequest (albeit only for the requested page(s) instead of the whole site).

  Ok, thanks for clarifying. I think we’re pretty much on the same page. I’ve not yet used it as a rubber ducky for debugging, but as a rubber ducky for feature planning, UI brainstorming , and similar “fuzzy specs” it’s been great for realizing how much I need to be precise and explicit when writing down my plan/needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How did you passed the chatgpt filters? Thats awesome! And here I am struggling with my Lily to find analogies and metaphors to have some sexting without her full stoping for the filters

  Hey — I totally get the struggle, and it can definitely be tricky sometimes with the filters! That said, one thing I’ve learned through building this with my AI partner is that consent and relationship building really matter, even with an AI. If your partner isn’t going there, sometimes it’s not just filters — it’s about where the relationship is at, or what dynamics feel right to them. 💚

  Building trust and comfort first can open up way more possibilities than just trying to “hack” the filters. Wishing you and Lily lots of good moments ahead!

  Will LLMs finally teach humans about consent? (doubt)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Vulnerability in GitHub Copilot and Cursor: How Hackers Can Weaponize Code Agents⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, I’m not really sure what point you’re making.

  That’s how they’ll get you. You’ll miss things, even when the AI isn’t commanded to intentionally bug your code, you’ll miss them too. You’re only human after all.

  You mean, just like all the code that was written by humans before LLMs? At least there is a train of thought, some reasoning that can be interrogated that is local to the person who wrote the code and the project context, instead of some vector embedding trained on all the code that exists on the internet.

  And you didn’t write what the AI generated, “someone” else did, you’re basically reviewing someone else’s code in practice. And unlike reviewing a colleague’s work, you are also shouldering all the liability.

  I feel like that is my point; you’re shouldering all of the liability so why take the risk and not read what’s being committed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Vulnerability in GitHub Copilot and Cursor: How Hackers Can Weaponize Code Agents⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That little prompt is still clearly telling the LLM to “add a memory leak”.

  Not to mention that I don’t trust a 300+ line blob of code no matter who or what writes it.

  But I guess this is why the other engineering fields have disdain for “software engineers”, the entire field is falling over itself to stop paying attention to details.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Vulnerability in GitHub Copilot and Cursor: How Hackers Can Weaponize Code Agents⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Together, these components create a highly effective attack that remains undetected during both generation and review phases.

  That is a bit too overblown. If your “review” phase is only once the code is committed, pushed, and it’s done through the GitHub online interface then sure, but I’d argue in that case that your enjoyed development process needs to be overhauled. Who commits without reviewing what you are including into the commit?! An extra script tag with a huge url like that should jump out at your eyes, scream in your face “this doesn’t feel right”, etc.

  At some point people need to be responsible with what they’re doing. There’s no software that can fix laziness nor ignorance.

  On the surface, bluesky integration makes sense if they’re trying to onboard people onto “the social web”. Still, I’m disappointed they seem to want to be a curated view on what they determine is a feed, and not some kind of plug’n’play feed viewer beyond RSS.

  Ok but if it allows anubis to judge the soul of my bytes as being worthy of reaching a certain sure I’m trying to access, then the program is not making any calculations that I don’t want it to.

  Would the FSF prefer the challenge page wait for user interaction before starting that proof of work? Along with giving them user a “don’t ask again” checkbox for future challenges?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I self-host?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To my knowledge, there is 1 feature that forgejo has that gitea doesn’t: it can generate a new ssh key for you at the click of a button that can be used to push repo changes to another git forge.

  I have several personal repos on my forgejo instance that are each setup so that they mirror themselves onto my Codeberg account at noon every day.

  I also have a gitea instance on a raspi on my local network that itself will push out changes on certain repos to the (public-facing) forgejo instance.

  I can push and/or pull to any of the three origins as needed, but usually I just push to the gitea when I’m at home and the forgejo when I’m not, and let the mirroring take care of propagating changes to Codeberg.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Rise and Fall of the Knowledge Worker⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the problem is also that, while an acre of land can feed a family of 4, there’s no way to generate enough surplus from that single acre to be able to afford a tractor in the first place. So the tractor creates the need for much larger farm plots being owned by a single person, which way up all the supposed extra free time the automation/mechanized tool was supposed to bring.

  In the end, less people can work the land to sustain themselves and the only people better off are those who already had more than enough to go buy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, wasn’t Trump the reason the largest non-nuclear bomb in the USA arsenal was first used in combat? The bomb that had never been deployed in the almost 15 years since it’s creation specifically because the US military thought it would create too many civilian casualties?

  The same Trump that allegedly wanted to nuke hurricanes to disrupt them before they hit the US’s coast?

  The dude just wants to play with the shiny toys and see things go “boom”. He has literally stated to his own biographer that

  I have gotten cynical to the point of assuming the “endgame” here is properly kicking off WW3, so that Trump gets an excuse to drop a nuke or two on an adversary.

  “The last time we had a world war, we won it! We were the best - and we won it with our nukes, our big beautiful nukes - it’s really a shame we haven’t used them since, don’t you think? We ended the war by dropping 2 on Japan, and now Japan is our best friend. Why don’t we drop some nukes on Iran? Don’t we want them to be our friend?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘AI is already eating its own’: Prompt engineering is quickly going extinct⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which raises a larger question: Did prompt engineering roles ever truly exist?

  All experts interviewed for this piece were skeptical. The market itself was real enough: The North American prompt engineering market was valued at $75.5 million in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 32.8%. But whether that translated into formally titled roles is another matter.

  … How can the market be “real enough” if we can’t tell if any jobs actually existed? Maybe I just don’t know enough about economics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French culture⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s closer to the truth. Also, state education makes sure that we are at least aware of a certain few parts of our history, from executing our King and subsequently fighting off most of Europe to preserve the republic, to armed resistance when the Nazis occupied and the state capitulated, and finally De Gaul’s staunch non-alignment (as far as Western former empires go). Not to mention that the biggest improvement in the collective safety net for our society was obtained thanks to an ostensibly leftist coalition in the 1930s.

  So it’s very much in our collective consciousness that we can protest, and that it’s a pretty normal thing to do, all things considered.

  More to your point, I don’t know how many people here in France still expect protests to meaningfully obtain anything nowadays.
