No problem. In that case, I think the guides you added would be a great separate post too. Thanks!

This is a great post. I think it would reach a much wider audience if it were posted in a different, more relevant comm and had a title that indicated its nature better.

Yeah, makes sense, thanks.

Interestingly enough, he supported Bernie in the Democratic primaries. He’s a confused dude.

Don’t forget crypto before that, and still around now. SMDH

For example the ICC projections assume that, towards the end of the century, we start becoming carbon-negative by figuring out effective carbon capture.

With magic fairy dust! How in the world did they base their projections on technology that didn’t exist and wasn’t even on the horizon?

We’ve been pointing this out ever since the concept of currency became a thing, but I’m sure we will learn our lesson this time and stop doing it.

I think that this became an issue even before currency. It happened as soon as agriculture allowed for accumulation of resources, power, and wealth. I sometimes think that that was really the point when humanity took the wrong turn.

“Lemmy, a decentralised discussion platform for communities”.

I like this one the most out of all the ones I’ve read here up to now.

I think this has the issue of making it easy to confuse it with Discourse, which is another very prominent (non-decentralized) open-source discussion forum software.

No worries, thanks!

Most certainly! :)

True! :)

My biggest fear, and one that is not talked about in the article, is that we won’t have any asbestos removers in the future. Generative AI is being fed it’s own excrement and that’s being leveraged as working code to new coders. When this really becomes a liability we won’t have many left that can fix or figure out the fix cause it will have obfuscated all the usable info.

I think it’s going to be a complete shit show. Here’s the confluence of factors:

• From what little I’ve seen of AI code, it seems to write code that’s even more shit than human devs. I’m not in software dev, but I’m in IT operations and also studying CS. What I’ve seen of AI code in IT (PowerShell scripts) looked like it wrote 10+ lines where one or two would have done the job. In other words, it’s a form of obfuscation like you said.
• I strongly expect that fewer people are studying CS because they’re getting the message that AI is taking all the dev jobs. That’s true for the moment.
• Fewer coders are being hired, so there will be even fewer experienced devs in the future.

I think that this will all add up to a “dark ages” of software development in the not too distant future. There just won’t be enough people to fix all the AI junk, and the AI junk will essentially need to be ripped out altogether. Software quality and security will go down the drain, and it will take forever to fix it, if it even gets fixed at all. I think it really will be equivalent to the “dark ages” (I know that this term is not considered accurate nowadays, but I think it applies even more to this situation).

I’m hopeful for one thing though: that this phenomenon will strengthen free open source software relative to commercial software. If there are a bunch of devs who can’t get dev jobs, hopefully they will spend at least some of their time contributing to open source. On top of that, it appears to me that open source projects have been more resistant to accepting AI code. Let’s hope that this is a silver lining here.

Thanks! I saw this linked on Mastodon but haven’t read it yet.

As far as metal beds go, we’ve had this one for probably around 20 years and it’s a very sturdy design with wood slats that were quiet for many years: https://isonair.com/products/min-bed-alualu-wood-headboard?variant=53409969799497

The Design Within Reach chain of furniture stores used to carry them, but don’t appear to any longer. That link says they do free shipping to US, Canada, and Europe, but I’m not familiar with the site.

However, if I’m understanding your requirements correctly, it’s not as tall as you’re looking for. The mattress sits about 9.5 to 10 inches off the ground.

Either way, I have to tell you that wooden slats don’t stay quiet forever. A few years ago ours started to creak a little sometimes when I get on and off the bed, but it seems to be worse on my side because I’m heavier than my wife. I think this is to be expected with wooden slats, wooden floors, etc. Perhaps replacing them with new ones would make it quiet again.

I see your point but still think you’re choosing the most charitable interpretation. I choose not to be charitable to two news giants who have helped provide support and cover for starting multiple disastrous wars of aggression that killed countless people.

Honest question, is the ActiveDirectory PowerShell module available for Linux PowerShell? I can’t seem to find a clear answer from a brief search.

Discord does work, but i remember that maintaining it updated was a pain in the ass.

It may be better to run it as a Flatpak. There’s not only an official Flatpak for it, but also various third-party clients available too: https://flathub.org/en/apps/search?q=discord
