In-reply-to » Hey @bmallred 👋 Can you see this? 🤔

The weird this is I still see your profile as

bmallred may not follow you

I assume you share your followings publicly, I see them on your feed, so I assume so. I was going to debug this on my side too today to see if.I goofed something up but my pod is rather busy so I hadn’t done that yet 😅 (actually working again finally on search)

In-reply-to » @prologic Regarding the static URL: The hostname at least is a CNAME record and resolves to something at cloudfront. What I meant was that I, as a user, cannot configure this URL anywhere in the Android UI. 🤔

Oh so it really does hit some stupid arbitrary endpoint at AWS 😱

In-reply-to » One thing I’ve learned from locking down my Android phone (see #pknsrda):

I can’t imagine it’s a static URL either, it surely has to be a unicast address of some sort. Relying on a static URL sounds like an utter disaster to me 🤔 I’d have to read the open spec on this…

In-reply-to » One thing I’ve learned from locking down my Android phone (see #pknsrda):

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Surely it isn’t as bad as this though right? 🤔 I mean reading the Wikipedia page on A-GPS, it sounds to me like it sends enough data to the nearest tower to give you enough data to warm-up the GPS receivership, presumably with GPS coordinates of the tower itself? I can imagine this data payload would include the Date/Time, IEMI and possibly your SIM details and Phone number (why not). It could be worse 🤣

In-reply-to » Did GitHub Copilot really increase my productivity? Yuxuan Shui, the developer behind the X11 compositor picom (a fork of Compton) published a blog post detailing their experiences with using GitHub Copilot for a year. I had free access to GitHub Copilot for about a year, I used it, got used to it, and slowly started to take it for granted, until one day it was taken away. I had to re-adapt to a life without Copilot, but it also gave me a chance to look back at how I used Copilot, ... ⌘ Read more

Deeply questionable legality aside, do any of you use Copilot? Has it had any material impact on your programming work? Is its use allowed by your employer, or do you only use it for personal projects at home?

No never and I never will!

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net

As an aside, my opinion on GitHub Copilot is clear – it’s quite possibly the largest case of copyright infringement in human history, and in its current incarnation it should not be allowed to continue to operate. As I wrote over a year ago:

I wrote about this three years ag! https://www.prologic.blog/2021/07/11/why-i-no.html

In-reply-to » What's that thing called when everyone on a social media platform (hardly matters which one) all post the same sort of thing. It all sounds oh so wonderful, or all so dramatic, everyone claps and cheers and thumbs up or whatever. What's that thing called? There's a term for it hmmm 🧐

Follow-up question:

What do we call it when you get to engage in discussion over topics you find in these “filter bubbles” with a different viewpoint, only to be shot down, overridden, or met with other arguments that support the existing “filter bubble”’s state?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bingo!

Consequently, users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles, resulting in a limited and customized view of the world.

In-reply-to » TikTok Sues US Government Over Law Forcing Sale or Ban Less than two weeks after President Biden signed a bill that will force TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the popular social media app or face a ban in the United States, TikTok said it sued the federal government on Tuesday, arguing the law was unconstitutional. From a report: TikTok said that the law violated the First Amendment by effectively removing an ... ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » @prologic Newcomers might have a little difficulty because just “installing” a Go compiler is not enough – you also need to add ~/go/bin to your $PATH, at least I did. I’m not sure what to do about it, though. 🤔 This doesn’t really belong into Yarn’s setup guide and it’s mentioned as one of the first things in the Arch wiki, for example, but still … To newcomers this might look a bit like a broken build process:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Noice 👌

For some reason the latest version of Chrome is stripped #fragment(s) from the HTML body being served.

da fuq?! When did this change, in what version? Did we (W3C and the community) agree that this behavior should change?! 😱 Fark’n hell Google™ Chrome 🤬

I think the next cleanup I’ll do is to delete any account that was created, and then used within some time window and never used again. Does that make sense? 🤔

In-reply-to » What does a yarnd setup look like to anyone? 🤔 Let's say it exists, and it helps you setup a Yarn pod in seconds. What does it do? Of course I'd have to split out yarnd itself into yarnd run to actually run the server/daemon part.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think you were the one that originally came up with this BUIDL thing. Was it always suppose to be the commit timestamp? 🤔
