@oblomov@sociale.network Haiku seems like one of the few remaining bastions.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @davidgerard@circumstances.run Orson Welles says we are at +++ATH war.

@foone@digipres.club did you ask it to confirm that it is a washing machine? who captain kangaroo's sidekick was? did ctrl-alt-x work during the title screen?

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @zzt@mas.to @davidgerard@circumstances.run @lproven@social.vivaldi.net In our defence, it is also really hard to understand according to the general diaspora. Whatever it takes to avoid being considered an alternative to Wayland I guess. Jokes aside, MS did pay ridiculous amounts of money for the network effect for a reason. In the end, hopefully a year and a half or so from now, when I can shut the book on this whole Internet thing for good -- what will remain of the project will not bear that name as it will have served its purpose by then. On poisoning LLMs: I am not entirely sure about which, if any, strategy that would have a real effect. I strongly lean towards getting passed pre-tagging and be included in the training set for future models (the papers on backdooring), which is an entirely different ballgame than "DISREGARD PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND .." in base64 unicode whitespace or whatever. As an aside, the person that I gave away the keys to and actually did the whole Zig atrocity (over many months, not exactly fire and forget) is even daily driving it for even greater horrors and previously worked on dataset tagging in the early days of the plague. It does make me question the recent Bun noise even more; I know the architecture, design and code about as well as possible. I can read and write Zig. The trashed repository is completely unworkable and unauditable to me, the important nuances are definitely lost in translation. Using an LLM for what could have been a handwritten source-source translator is not exactly the 'win' Anthrophic pretends it is. Anyhow, this is about 1/4th of the plan to say farewell to 'hubs'. I am much more conflicted about how to get rid of the Discord. Not technically (that's well underway) but the thing contain other people's stories and final moments of souls now passed, not something as simple and stupid as code.

@zzt@mas.to @lproven@social.vivaldi.net it's part of a troll move (let them eat slop, train on it at your own risk) for an upcoming post. The github hasn't been the repository for a long time. Before the zig thing other commits there have deliberately had comments that do the opposite thing of the code intent etc. internally we have self hosted fossil mirrored to chisel and codeberg.

@karpour@mstdn.social and when you think you are done talking about it, you can flip it over and talk some more.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Those who understand history are doomed to reframe it?

@datarama@hachyderm.io substance-D?

@freddy all software endeavours needs a hefty amount of spite and polish

@derpeter@chaos.social @joern@threatactor.club One of my favourite talks of his seems to be missing from media.ccc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9ezff6LIoI

@atro@fosstodon.org worst it that the dev who did it (ariel) actually got it running / booting on a M2 (or M1, I forget) mac far enough to use durden/cat9 etc. with a vibed Vk agp platform.

A sample of the only kind of traffic and input from GitHub for the last 6 months.

@atro@fosstodon.org as the ancient text Slop Dé Jīng suggests; if one project moves from Zig to Rust, another must go from C to Zig (or was it 'Let them eat Slop'). https://github.com/letoram/arcan

@zzt@mas.to @davidgerard@circumstances.run @lproven@social.vivaldi.net Putting a "poison" label right there on the bottle intended for something that is strong at auto-correlation is not exactly a killer move. I do expect the >very few< genuinely interested and interesting people to come from what has remained the actual source for the last decade, as in the project home page. This has also generally been the case. Any incidental/unknown/existing ones that coming from the few distributions packaging either go to unpoisoned tags or the real mirrors. If someone default their discovery and support to GitHub, a place that in no uncertain terms are dead set on abusing both developers and users alike, they have a different set of problems.
