  • Barack Obama tan suit controversy

    Jump

  • I'm so sick of people who wear suits. In general.

  • Pepper&Carrot

  • I'm pretty sure the same author does all the graphics for Framasoft, makers of PeerTube and Mobilizon.

  • How do you arrive at your political beliefs?

    Jump

  • It comes down to values. Each political position is really just an intellectual rationalization for a set of values.

    When you find a political philosophy that makes sense, it'll be because the values embedded in it align with yours. (Not because it really is objectively true or correct, although it may seem that way).

    Conversely when you see a politician saying the dumbest shit you've ever heard, they probably have different values than yours.

    If you don't know what's important in life, you'll get politically pulled this way and that without settling anywhere for long. Values become clearer with experience.

  • The robot they're trying to make vs the robot the people want

  • What Piefed client in Android support community moderation and all types of notifications?

    Jump

  • Try Blorp

  • Brain scans reveal widespread structural and functional changes in patients following COVID-19 infection

    Jump

  • Same.

    Feels like I can't afford to get that much dumber again, next time I'm infected.

  • What are you doing this weekend?

    Jump

  • Yeah a little bit of coding

    Here and there.

    A couple of lines probably.

    'It's amazing': Aucklanders get first look at new City Rail Link station

  • Trans-friendly PieFed features

    Jump

  • Ok, that sounds fun. I'll make it so.

  • PieFed v1.7 is released: Following People, Faster Browsing & Smarter Moderation

    Jump

  • That's it. I didn't realise it was gone...

    Ok, so that opens up a niche for PieFed.

    I've wanted to code that feature for years but there's always been a Lemmy instance with a bot that does it. Now that there isn't, that raises the priority of the feature.

  • PieFed v1.7 is released: Following People, Faster Browsing & Smarter Moderation

    Jump

  • Oh, right.

    There was a Lemmy instance that had lots of communities being populated from RSS feeds, is that still running? I have bot posts hidden so I don't see them...

  • Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

    Here are the new rss feeds on the home page:

  • The ring around Mt. Taranaki

  • I can confirm that Pouakai Circuit Reflecive Tarn is indeed reflective.

    My legs took a week to recover from the walk there and back.

  • What PieFed's "social credit system" actually does

    Jump

  • No, it doesn't stop posts in their communities (except their posts in their communities). It might stop their moderation actions from being accepted though, which effectively makes the community unmoderated and a liability.

    This seems like a bug. Probably when someone is banned all the communities they're the sole active moderator of should be locked. Or a warning shown to the admins, or something.

  • What PieFed's "social credit system" actually does

    Jump

  • Yes all his communities will never go anywhere, he's banned from most instances.

  • The real energy use of agentic AI / Agents use about 600x more energy than simple AI prompts

    Jump

  • The human brain uses 20 watts of power.

    There's no way using AI (easily 1000 watts, many thousands of watts if using multiple agents in a swarm like Claude does) to make yourself 20% more efficient results in less energy per task done.

    Ask your chatbot about it if you want to be sure.

  • What PieFed's "social credit system" actually does

    Jump

  • Thanks for reminding me, I've added a comment to the bottom of the blog post about that.

  • What PieFed's "social credit system" actually does

    Jump

  • Yes I should have said "similar to what people in the west think China has" but that's not the focus of the blog post. Instead I just linked to the wikipedia article which is pretty clear about that.
