Oof, worried about some FOSS drama, but worried that maybe I shouldn't reply lest it fan some flames that I would hope can resolve well, and maybe me saying something would fan the flames :\

wow this is a good take. take of the day

Holy shit. Wildwood is the most visually stunning movie I have ever seen in my life. So glad I saw it on the big screen. Gonna see it a few more times before it leaves theaters.

Whew! What a week!

got in its #lispgamejam entry: a p2p party game called PolyDraw! Draw the word you're given but... you can only draw with twenty triangles in one minute! https://davexunit.itch.io/polydraw

The game is REALLY fun, I've played it with several groups now and:

• It's built using #spritely tech! Goblins, Hoot, OCapN!
• It's fully end-to-end encrypted! The only people who know what's being drawn are the players!
• It's REALLY FUN!

Blog post coming soonish but: try it with friends! Let us know what you think!

Hearing more and more stories of "nobody knows how to work on our codebase anymore after 1.5 years of agents, and management is asking for us to get more involved in the code after telling us to go agent native, but nobody really knows how to anymore"

Responses:

• Shock!
• Surprise!
• Wasn't this the goal?

I think I was wrong about the lobste.rs removal of the vibecoding tag. The LLM boosters were cheering its removal, but I think it worked against them. What has happened now is that people have started more rigorously applying flags against anything that either contains LLM written language or any sort of article that's just "I prompted an LLM to do this" which was most of those posts

Look at the "recent" page: https://lobste.rs/recent

And here is a good example of a booster post that previously would have risen to the top of the page with the "vibecoding" tag on it and is now just buried https://lobste.rs/s/mnazv8/october_inflection_point_for_vibe_game

Cybertruck production to end https://www.wired.com/story/rip-cybertruck-you-were-unloved-unwanted-and-utterly-absurd/

And because people just love to keep giving this guy money to make new bad ideas, the production is ending to make way for... the Cybercab, an even worse designed thing

Emacs and org-mode really have shaped me as a human being both, for the better

Well it's a good thing I always disable ssh password authentication as the very first thing I make sure is done when setting up a machine. These days I do it declaratively on guix system installation

when you're working with a professional you're paying and you ask them a question they send you back a link and some information that has source=chatgpt.com in it and you just sigh but what are you gonna do these days when a huge portion of the world uses that instead of search engines, and even the search engines are increasingly chatbots too

how the fuck is

always anticipating everything we're working on or interested in at Spritely before we even get around to talking about or sometimes even thinking it

Yeah that's right kid. Back in the day I had a hard drive that was on /dev/hda1 Not even /dev/sda1 I said hda that's right I remember those days Grub???? I used LILO Installed Slackware from a box of floppies on a spare 486

My name is Linux Torvalds and I pronounce Linus Linux

Did you know that my girlfriend

was a LINUX INFLUENCER 19 years ago as a teenager making this video of Compiz Fusion that got millions of views made from her parents' attic using a physical camera because linux screen capture wasn't good enough at the time

I rewatched the video. Still rules

Have you watched The Music Scene by Blockhead recently? It came out 16y ago but feels astoundingly topical today
