"Vibe coding" is an expression created to make gen-AI look cool.

Call it what it is: "slop coding".

Words have a strong impact on the perception of things.

I'm currently considering two options:
- self hosting a mastodon and a Matrix/XMPP instance knowing that the overwhelming majority of people will remain on the shittiest services they'll find just because it's easy
- deleting all social media and chat apps and be done with the world's crap

Starting today, Vietnam requires all YouTube ads to be skippable after five seconds.

No more annoying, long ads.

News article in bio.

They don't "refuse to", they're friends with them and have the exact same interests.

Konqi, KDE’s mascot (a cute green dragon) as a surgeon, with a surgical mask, gloves and a scalpel. Dragon is green and orange, and gloves and mask are blue. He is smiling brightly.

@kde.org ’s mascot, Konqi, as a surgeon! Love this little fella.

No problem!
I don’t know at all TBH, I just discovered the project, I haven’t tried yes, it’s possible that their main server is a bit overflowed by new users following Discord’s announcements.

Discord is terrible.

Hey #furries, have you heard about #Movim? It’s a chat app made by one of us, decentralised, #FOSS, European tech, and has a cute design made by a French artist called Rimou!

Check it out!

Words of wisdom from weird Al!

We should also stop relying on company-owned platforms.
No company wants our good. None. They want our money and nothing else. They made everything super easy to lure us into illusory comfort, now everyone is tech-illiterate and dependent on one-click-away tech.

Thought about the Discord debacle:

Maybe we furries should unionise somehow. 1 union per country, federated internationally. We are a large userbase, a union representing us could pressure the platforms we use.

As long as we rely on company owned platforms, it's gonna be the same.

I laughed a bit too hard at this xD The confusion is visible

I love him😌

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

They say it's #PortfolioDay again!

I'm Valentine, I draw inky comic-styled illustrations of mostly ttrpg, but also personal projects.

Secretly, I write, but barely ever post draft.

Yes, of course. But once again it's not a reason to make it easy for them :p

Unavoidable, dunno. And it's not a reason to make it easy for them x)

We should definitely move to Signal

Proton has more than just mails. They also provide VPN, cloud save, office suite (docs and spreadsheets), and a password vault

Fairphone is nice, and they offer /e/OS as an alternative to Android (because buying non American phone is a thing but Android remains Google's property, so 100% US
