as an ammendum to this comment edit, catfriend edited the post linked and added this to the end

Edit: Regarding @nel0x , they did not have any history with the Syncthing (Android) project nor an expressive public profile when they applied to take over the Google Play Store entry in Feb 2025. I accepted this and transferred - believing in good will and we agreed on their task to be publishing what was on my repository to Google Play after their review. If they now desire to make their own app, there is, unfortunately no way to clean up the confusion caused if it is called the same other than kindly asking them to rename it.

yea it makes it so much easier since there’s only one user in the system anyway so makes no sense for everything to be installed system level

The majority of my development work is on chat bots or sites so I’ve always just used bot as the name

further more the opencollective project hasn’t seen an expense report for development since july of 2024 only domain renewals. so it’s not like they are working behind the scenes and just haven’t pushed anything to the gitlab (which also hasent seen any real development activity since july 2024)

edit: I just saw this on their blog.

Personally I will not do any more work on Manyverse. And my impression is no one else is planning to either. At most I might do a patch release (no features/big bug fixes) to wrap up a grant. The codebase could maybe keep living in a fork where the backend is swapped out with some other protocol, but this is a big project which would probably lose backwards compatibility with the current SSB main network, and I don’t think this is very likely to happen. Personally if I’d work on a P2P app now it’d probably be a (comparatively) “smaller” project, like a chat app or similar, using a newer protocol.

so it sounds like the project is essentially dead

I always make a ~/.local/{bin,opt,share} if the distro lacks it. and a ~/bot that I use for my development stuff

the standard 3 draw one. I understand 1 draw has a higher chance of success tho

To each their own, that’s the reason I don’t play Solitaire physically and play it digitally I hate spending 5-10 minutes on a game just to find out that I can’t beat it. There’s no sense of satisfaction for me

I just went through the hassle of putting a PXE server on my main server. I put boot repair disc, Debian live, a few installers and I just remembered I need to throw clonezilla on it.

I always end up losing my USBs and I just lost my primary OS USB and had to re-download all my isos so I figured enough is enough.

I don’t agree with this. While they have stated its against their stores policies to use permanent identifiers instead of your IDFA, I haven’t seen any stories of them actually enforcing said restriction. I’ve seen a lot of /them/ saying that they will and do, but I’ve never seen a story of a company saying they were disabled for it.

On top of that, they didn’t forbid companies from using workarounds like a unique device fingerprint using your current device configuration for it either, so many apps just did that instead, which brought everyone back to square one again, they just switched to using a third party to identify the device instead of using apple’s first party solution.

Privacy advocates actually warned that apples way of marketing this feature would do exactly what is occurring here. Giving users a false sense of privacy when really very little has changed.

companies operating in democratic countries need to realize that eventually they will hit a point where the amount of workers displaced by the technology are going to be enough to negatively impact them via the legal system.

While AI might be a helpful tool, and /could/ be cost effective in a perfect world. All that means nothing if the general public starts looking at it from a negative POV and starts voting on laws that restrict or ban it.

If big companies were smart, they would be starting to advocate for something to placebo the general working class, such as a UBI or a supplement for people that were displaced by the tech. I don’t expect they will though, and eventually it’ll be a lot of money wasted developing into a tech that is likely just going to be outlawed or heavily restricted.

for rewording for simplicity because I read it wrong the first time. The linked article said that in their study an AI assisted developer took an average 20% longer to complete a project than the non-AI assisted dev.

This is actually quite interesting to me, granted their study pool was very small(only 16 devs), but that is an interesting data point.

Being said, this is also a different field than what I was talking about, since that moved it to development instead of T1 customer service, but the data is nice to see.

I’m the same way here, being said, if that’s the case a T1 wouldn’t be useful to you anyway, as they just copy/paste the simple solutions you have likely already tried. So really no harm is done in this circumstance.

Honestly the only thing I see current level AI reliably doing without being used as an assistive tool is grunt info work. For example a lot of T1 customer service positions can moreorless be replaced out with the current level of LLM’s that we have. Many T1 support roles consist almost entirely of searching the current customers issue, copy/pasting a boilerplate solution list of what may fix it, asking “did that work?” and if not escalating to the next tier. Hallucinations at this level won’t have a very big impact outside of annoying the customer and the t2 when it gets escalated because it failed to fix the issue. Said system shouldn’t have control over anything, it should strictly be information based. Anything management wise or financial wise or general output of merchandise should not be using these technologies standalone, at most it should be an assistive tool to a human in that position.

I’m just chiming in to say that while the documentation gives you information on how to do external access, there are multiple issues open on the github about unauthenticated endpoints that if you know what is on the server already, you can confirm that it’s there

So I wouldn’t use a standard naming convention because using that knowledge, someone who cares could use common names that could be on the server, followed by common standards of formats they would be in, and be able to confirm it’s their via the end points.

I wasn’t aware that they couldn’t add that to their renewable terms. I’m actually surprised about that

omg yes, I loved when games gave a replay stories or replay core concepts section of the menu, it’s not that hard to add but it lets you recap as well!

unpausable cutscenes. Nothing bugs me more than getting interrupted in the middle of a cutscene and not being able to press escape to pause the cutscene. You’re forced to try to split your attention between what interrupted you and the cutscene or restart and see the cutscene from the beginning again.

Extra annoyance points if escape immediately skips the cutscene without any indication it’s going to.

Not only that, theres also an increasing number of anticheat’s that supports linux, however they have it intentionally disabled so when you run the game it either blocks you or in worse case bans your account as a whole

yea but he wouldn’t need to handle that, I do all his setup, he just has to click the shortcut that opens the game just like he does currently.

We all have been there. First technical build I struggled for 45 minutes trying to figure out why I was getting a zero display whatsoever only to find out that I plugged that damn HDMI cable into the wrong port, and the board had disabled everything including post and splash from using the motherboards port
