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

    Jump

  • There's a follow button on each account's profile. So first find one of their posts/comments and then go to the author of it.

    Also if you go to https://piefed.social/instances, find the instance you like and then go to the people in that instance, there are Follow buttons everywhere.

    I'm not making this slick and easy to use, yet. I don't want everyone to suddenly follow tons of people and cause the server to melt or whatever. This following functionality could increase the federation work the server needs to do in unpredictable ways so I'll be monitoring things and dealing with issues as they arise for a while, before going big on it.

  • Is it just me or did article headlines just get bigger?

    Jump

  • Yeah. I just changed it back, thanks for bringing it up.

    You can set the heading size using this custom css 

     css  
        
.post_list .post_teaser h3 {  
  font-size: 16px;  
}

  • “Televised Nervous Breakdown”: CEO of Palantir Suffers a Bit of a Meltdown During Live Interview

    Jump

  • I think so. He meant the capitalists, who are his customers, want to own their means of production. Not rent it from their competitors or suppliers.

    First time I've seen that phrase used that way but it works.

  • One thing I think Lemmy is missing: recurring community events

    Jump

  • Have a Quake 3 Arena tournament.

  • “Televised Nervous Breakdown”: CEO of Palantir Suffers a Bit of a Meltdown During Live Interview

    Jump

  • Here's the segment:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI-0FKFfO54

    He seemed pretty coherent to me. At times clearly thinking faster than his mouth can keep up but really no big deal.

    Pretty interesting how he's fully accepted that there will be "a wealth tax" as a result of a backlash against AI. And how the CEOs he knows are "livid" about how totally useless AI is even after they jumped in boots and all, lol

  • If the ms office apps don't run on Linux you might be able to use them through a browser, just like Google docs.

  • On instances where the admins proactively seek out and tag bots and AI slop (like mine), the threadiverse looks quite different.

    Shop around.

  • I played this in the arcade a lot!

    Man, some of those ports are rough. The Atari ST was pretty amazing for an 8-bit computer, though.

  • New Zealand internal report warns of Chinese military forays in Pacific

    Jump

  • I can think of dumber things.

    While I am also tired of fearmongering about China, there's been a huge amount of Chinese propaganda about "the inevitable end of the US empire" and the "great progress China is making". Whether either of those trends continues is unknown.

  • New Zealand internal report warns of Chinese military forays in Pacific

    Jump

  • Be that as it may, China or anyone driving a couple of their boats around in international waters is pretty harmless and no big deal.

  • Thrust into an AI role

    Jump

  • It depends on your company.

    If you are running public-facing code, security is going to become a huge deal in coming months. So use AI to find all the security holes in your stuff before the hackers do.

    If you have lots of databases and APIs for internal use, create a MCP server so agents can do anything with your data and APIs.

    If your data is even a little sensitive and you don't want to send it all to the USA (read up on the CLOUD act), look into running models locally and the hardware investments you'll need to make.

  • When do you think the oil shortages will begin?

    Jump

  • It'll be uneven.

    I know people in Philippines who no longer cook at home because they haven't been able to afford LPG for the last 2 months. So their "shortage" (under capitalism there are no shortages, just prices you can't afford) started a long time ago.

    I doubt USA, as an oil producing nation, will see proper shortages ever. They'll just stop exporting their surplus. America First.

    Other rich countries that don't produce / refine oil will be getting properly desperate around end of July / August, yeah.

  • FYI this will be fixed in the next release of PieFed, due this week.

  • German lawyers: Ban on far-right AfD 'likely successful'

    Jump

  • 'Successful' in the very narrow sense that it would be legal to do so. But not successful in actually changing anyone's politics or the material conditions that give rise to the AfD.
