expanding the recognition of #bookwyrm posts on #neodb to also work when viewing media updates from other neodb instances, e.g. here I see a post from neodb.social about city hunter (fun classic kdrama) and the post menu has an option to search for it locally in the tv catalog

Hello folks, I have seen people's fundraisers move on to the goal and even exceeding its goal that was set,but I do not know what is wrong with ours!
I am reaching out for everyone who appreciates the work of GYM that is being done in the communities to join us and find possible ways on how we can raise land that we want to use in the bext season.
Your advice today, may be a pillar to getting land.

#Oops. A benchmark that checks how good "AI" coding works on real code from real companies. The TL;DR: Nope, it doesn't work. Not even close.
"Does AI code match the bar of a real-world enterprise? Our results show us that we're far from that reality. [...] We've found that today's models are weaker at understanding company coding patterns and frequently miss requirements or don't verify their assumptions."
I got Morrowind total overhaul installed via a semi automated script. (lots of nexusmod clicks)

I started Friday night, and with various interruptions, it was download this morning.
There's like 20 something years of stuff in there from the Tamriel Rebuilt project.
This morning though, pottering around Seyda Neen.
Harvesting still makes that satisying sssSSSHHUP sound.

It's 1990, Projectyle is released for the Amiga and ST, and Eldritch the Cat goes legit.
What does that mean? Read about what we did next in chapter 15 of my serialized memoir, up now!

Amazing work being done by @douwe in Amsterdam! Civil society 🤝 policymakers 🤝 media.
A #Fediverse instance for public officials. And it doesn’t stop there: media outlets quoting posts from publicly funded social media infrastructure.
Political communication belongs on public infrastructure, not in the hands of broligarchs nobody elected.
This is a live example of exactly why I’m focusing on politicians and public institutions with the #LeaveX campaign.
Ohh... nice!
Keine Panik! Resilienz in der PolykriseSind wir hoffnungslos verloren und rutschen unaufhaltsam in die Poly-Dystopie, wie gehen wir überhaupt mit der aktuellen Entwicklung um, woraus können wir noch Kraft schöpfen und was sind tatsächlich vielversprechende Lösungsansätze? 42 Jahre nach Gründung des FIfF proklamieren wir „Keine Panik! Resilienz in der Polykrise“
Beim @fiff gibt es dieses Jahr noch eine #FIfFKon26 zum 42. 🥳
if i rig up a random number generator to a bomb, program it to generate a number between 1 and 20 every five minutes, set the bomb to go off if i roll a 20, begin the random number generator, then leave the room, i am liable for when the bomb goes off. the fact that a deeply stupid pseudo-metaphysics of software having agency is being used to obscure a very basic causal chain here to the point that companies are just confessing to violating federal law is making me insane
Saw a couple blog posts the last few days from people saying they’re not using Mastodon anymore because Mastodon users hate everything. My timeline is full of music, art, hobbies and joy. There’s no algorithm. Curate a better timeline you rubes
Two teen boys -Overheard on metro:
Teen A: My mom said I gotta choose between gaming and my future…
Teen B: The future seems pretty bleak…
Teen A: Exactly! Gaming is the only good choice!
My 70-year-old mum came over for a visit today, and she'd read some of the news stories about Anthropic researchers estimating that there's a 10% chance their AI systems will wipe out humanity by 2030.
So she had some very concerned questions for her computer scientist son. They were:
1. "How do they come up with those percentages? Do they just make them up, or do you think they have their chatbots make them up for them?"
2. "Are the Anthropic people swindlers or are they actually mentally unwell?"
3. "How can a guy who looks like his biggest worry ought to be whether his parents remembered to pack his school lunch be lead researcher for Anthropic?"
(I had to tell her that the press had misled her: Jacob Coxon was not lead researcher, just one of many researchers in their pretraining team.)
She then remarked that if *she* was an amoral CEO of an AI cult, she'd keep an eye out for employees who seemed like they were doing poorly and might want to leave soon. Then she'd offer them 10 million dollars in cash to "resign out of concern for the future of humanity".
I'll repeat it again and loudly for the people in the back of the room: just because someone doesn't know what you're outraged about and asks for sources so they can form their own opinion doesn't necessarily mean they're acting in bad faith. It is 2026. The Internet is full of disinformation and other people acting in bad faith. Search engines deliver increasingly bad results that are full of slop.
Giving help to someone who asks for context and sources is a kindness. Name calling and sarcasm, even if they are acting in bad faith, is not the way.
And... blocking folks who are asking you to be polite is never a good look.

Voilà donc Salah Hamouri (1) fier de poser pour Urgence Palestine à la fête de l'Huma avec le groupe Kneecap, ce groupe qui, non content de gueuler "Up Hamas ! Up Hezbollah" avec un drapeau du Hezbollah (2), avait posélisant un bouquin de discours de Nasrallah (3) dans lequel on peut lire que "le Juif" est "l'être le plus lâche et vil de la création" (screen suivant).
Jusqu'à quand va-t-on accepter ces accointances avec des partis d'extrême droite, sexistes, homophobes et antisémites ?

In 1980, Intel introduced the 8087 floating-point coprocessor chip. Plugging this chip into your IBM PC made math 100 times faster, good for CAD and spreadsheets. I opened up the chip to reverse-engineer exactly how it does complicated calculations. Let's take a look inside...

I noticed today that an update to the #Linux #Zoom client has made it start proactively reading _everything_ written to the X11 clipboard.
If you keep interesting secrets in your clipboard – particularly, if a password manager uses it as a means of getting the password to where it needs to be – this might be a thing you need to know about!

I attempted to do a values sketch in the style of @toddanderson, which I really like. It's a view from my parents' garden, looking at old parts of the house which used to be farm buildings.
