  • here's a challenge in the tech sphere: implementing nudges toward healthy phone usage.

  • In the settings, isn't there a "digital wellbeing and parental controls" area? I'm pretty sure that's a stock Android thing.

  • Maybe they'll relaunch as a piefed instance, lol

  • No, but there is on PieFed.social. Mods and admins have functionality to check any post or comment for LLM-generated text. There's more stuff too.

    Generally I share my findings with Lemmy admins so they can ban the account.

    I think this is a pretty big threat to the fediverse and social media in general and am taking it very seriously. At the moment the amount of slop is pretty low but we need to be ready for the deluge when it comes.

  • #AnySoftKeyboard, installed from #FDroid, asks for access to Contacts. Was it compromised? (EDIT: Unlikely)

  • It's cool man, don't worry about it.

  • Make sure the ram is upgradable. A lot of them are soldered on these days and you're stuck with that amount forever.

  • British tourist among 20 charged in Dubai over videos of Iranian missile strikes

    Jump

  • It seems as if showing that the air defense systems are not working 100% is being seen as a threat to the government.

  • US to release 172 million barrels of oil from strategic reserve to combat energy price hike

    Jump

  • The world uses 102 million barrels per day.

    https://www.worldometers.info/oil/

    And the article says they'll be releasing it over the course of 120 days. Maybe it'll bring the price down by a few percent, not enough to be noticeable.

    It's just not practical to store enough oil to make any long term difference, we use too much of it and it's too valuable to leave lying around unused.

  • METR AI Coding Research Inconclusive Because Dev Participants Refused to Complete Tasks Without AI

  • If I want to find a job, I need to hand over my data

    Jump

  • My partner has been looking for a job for a year.

    Two weeks ago she supplied her passport to the main job seeking website in our country, which gave her profile a blue "verified" tick. Since then she's had 4 job interviews, more than she's had in the last 6 months.

    Recruiters are being flooded with low quality applications, many of them AI-generated bullshit, many of them from overseas. Proving you are who you say you are and that you are in the right country seems to be necessary, now.

  • There is a convention of putting a FEDERATION.md file in the root of your project (there is a FEP about it but I can't remember what it is, heh) which lists the FEPs your project implements.

    e.g. https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/FEDERATION.md

    There is no standardised API endpoint for discovering this info so basically you just need to lurk in all the dev spaces you can and watch what they're talking about, stalk each other's codeberg/github issue queues and PRs and just cope with the jank.

  • Yes theoretically you could have any type in there but votes are the biggest inefficiency in the system so I've only implemented it for them.

    There are some nodebb forums that federate with us, which are intended for AP dev discussions - !technical-discussion@activitypub.space for example. Not very active. Also some Matrix channels, again not exactly humming. Everyone is pretty focused on their own projects, really.

  • Gas imports or solar panels?

    Jump

  • Maybe.

    I can't find any gavinmooney profiles on any socials... even x dot com.

  • Gas imports or solar panels?

    Jump

  • It's probably just AI generated bs.

    Generally, solar takes 10+ years to break even in a residential situation, I can't see how things would be 10x cheaper at the TWh scale.

  • Uh oh

    Jump

  • There is, yep. You can just walk away, but that leaves everyone thinking that you learned nothing and still hold the silly views you expressed earlier.

  • If you have 100+ notifications you probably are getting dogpiled for saying something controversial. Rather than replying individually to each flame you can just use that function which puts a message at the top of the post and locks comments.

    It's a de-escalation tool.

  • You're right, to be more similar to the ActivityPub style of doing things the object should be a "type" of "Collection", not just suddenly be an array instead of an object. I will migrate PieFed over to that instead.
