I'm @froztbyte more or less everywhere that matters

  • rubber duck debugging with a cost multiplier magnitude coming in at a couple of zeroes tail end of the figure

    and worse results

  • so a couple months ago it was noted that mattermost’s website had gone very problematic, extreme emphasis on pitching to mil/int with very little indicating its foss roots/nature

    and now it seems they’re going for rent extraction even on the self-hosted

  • holy discontiguous interscene blending, watman

    there are so many parts that people in the skeet[0] replies have already pointed at but the thing that someone just went "tune the smoother way up! just make sure it looks good!" and thought they were done with the assignment... amazing. really does a fantastic job of highlighting the same old problem of these things only managing short-duration outputs coherently!

    10/10 would cringe again

    0 - what's a blacksky skeet called? do they have their own term? I don't know how standalone blacksky operates and I refuse to learn any more about skeeterprotocol than I already know

  • certainly has more than a bit of that urbit coiner Sovereign Individual shit going on yeah

    I tried looking around a bit to see if I could find any info about contributors there, and for the most part none of them really seem to have much internet fingerprint at all. did find one person with a moderately extensive set of personal repo/project commits spanning back a few years, spanning long enough so as to find that they were doing a BSc/Hons/something circa 2018. which isn't concrete but does strongly hint at a current age of mid 20s to mid 30s. "get 'em while they're young and you can poison their brains early!" - the bayfucker mantra

  • current issue is likely the most recent bout scraper waves (based on it matching data myself and others have seen elsewhere); suggestions have been made, so hopefully soon(tm) changes

    (don’t mean to speak on @self’s behalf ito plans, mind. that’s for them to do :D)

  • dr seuss - green eggs & ham

  • 🤨

  • Eternal September has many seasons

    (and I don’t even really like the goddamned reference, mind you. but it’s succinct for something like this)

  • …the random fucking driveby posts in reply to a mac user

  • off the top of my head: apple dropping rosetta2 (the x86/amd64 compat layer), extreme focus on apple intellidunce, a variety of desktop-related things constantly just getting a bit worse (music.app is currently completely broken for shortcut/automation control), and things like trying to push the macos desktop to be far more like the ios ui (see e.g. the shit they've done with settings dialog)

    apple's focuses are all in places and things that no-one wants, but they're too stubborn to listen to any feedback

  • among others, so many systemd and libvirt things :|

    fortunately a long-ish tail on a lot of that, but fucking still

  • just as the tshirt goes: my opening sentence was not for nothing

  • exactly so :)

  • sometimes both

  • Heh I haven’t seen that, will have to go look

    If we knew how to use hot air for rocket propulsion we could just shove saltman et al in there and solve multiple problems at once…alas

  • Yeah heat management in space turns out to be pretty fucking hard. You could ask “who knew?!” but there’s that whole space program thing…

    I presume that they’re not in fact blind to this fact, mind you. You cannot be doing actual astro tech design without it (your object would never make it to launch - there’s too many blockers that’d stop it), but the properties of heat generation from a H100 are known, and thus whatever they’re applying to deal with it very can’t be lightweight/little

  • yeah it’s pretty amazing

    in one respect it’s at best one-percent-assed (for both meanings of). in another, it’s all ass

    takes special kind of fuckery to create garbage that fractally terrible

  • you type “DHH said” twice in one post like he’s anyone to listen to, amazing

    (pro-tip: he ain’t)
