I think the big one recently is the opt in ai training. A lot of people were not happy with their data being hoovered up and making so a ton of $$. So they are replacing their answers with nonsense/deleting them. Plus there’s now ai bots that are on so…such a strange world.

SO is only useful if it’s filled with things that help out users. If it starts getting less foot traffic, an evaporation effect occurs where more and more uses leave thereby making it even less useful.

I once had a person ask a question on a library I made. They asked how to unit test the library. I answered it and got downvoted because my answer wasn’t the accepted answer.

Heh that’s funny

Its so…ugly to me but someone wanted it. Better than Cobol on wheelchair framework thats for sure.

Is anyone kinda…unimpressed? It just seems like a slightly bigger version of the switch. I was kinda hoping for something more substantial…

When I was in devops, my first year was 115k (us) so I think your spot on.

GL!

Yeah offer up I’ve seen more “deals” than fb Marketplace in the past. Almost the same level of engagement.

Wow looks like old Myspace.

Maybe blue sky? I’ve seen quite a few family/friends move lately and it’s made subscribing to them via mastodon/mastodon adjacent like GoToSocial workable.

It’s so cool that in the fedi you have quite a few options for front ends/phone apps. Unlike other websites that charge for outside access.

Not ironically craigslist never went away in some places.

Yeah host-ers on the fediverse are not making money that’s for sure.

I self host a number of fedi systems. Mastodon used to be the most “costly” in terms of CPU and storage.

I personally think that as long as our data has value to someone it will stay. Unfortunately(?) I think a vast majority of it will go the way of the void.

Space has cost.

Ironically that means platforms that cannot produce value from old messages will probably delete them. All these bytes are on storage media that probably wont last 10 years let alone 100+. Also never mind that the data itself will have to be on a media that other systems can use…so the html of today may not be used in 50 years or so, so reduces its value further. “Value” is subjective, but for most commercial platforms, its literally the amount of $$ they can get for the data. As soon as the data reaches 0$, it gets deleted. And as things get older and people die, these messages/data/etc… get lost, deleted, corrupted, or incompatible with the technology of the day.

But short term, everyone is pulling our data because it has a VERY high value. So dont say anything on the internet you would not want your parents finding out :)

We still use Jenkins at work. It certainly works!

The flip has some great ports apparently. Balatro being one of them. I’m hoping for the same as you. I want a steam Gameboy like.

I recently got balatro working on the pi 4. Its kinda amazing what will run the game :)

I know because of security, people jumped off circleci but their local tool was amazing in what it did. No messing around, it worked just like their own platform. Being able to ssh into the box that was failing was a great feeling. Sometimes you just have to get into the box in order to see what is going wrong, and they allowed that.

Ive had to fight act quite a bit to get the same functionality. Things would go to GH Actions only to do something slightly different and I would have to make a fix. Over time, it gets tiring. Ive worked with CI/CD platforms for over a decade and Actions are…ok. Still feels beta in how much is reliant upon the community which drops scripts from time to time.

I am seeing a LOT of the emulation crowd over at codeberg and other type of sites. Its gaining some popularity which is nice.

nice
