@xgranade @jwz Fundamentally the argument is "fedi must become exactly like every other space that is overwhelmed with slop". Like, name another network or website that is generally negative about LLMs. This is like arguing every restaurant should be McDonald's. Let fedi be different, please.

@alexia I don't use this editor, but I came across Leo while researching literate programming:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_%28text_editor%29
I decided not to spend time on it because I don't think literate programming can be done properly with only a text editor, I think you need support from the programming language itself or some software for "weaving" the documentation with the code etc. But you might disagree!
I do think literate programming could be a good response to slop, helping people understand code.

I'll be attending this Philly Mastodon Migration Party a week from Wednesday to represent Jawns.club and invite people to join our server (among other options). There will be several activities to help people socialize while learning the basics of the fediverse.
This post may only reach people already on fedi, but if you have friends who are not here yet, this could be a fun way to get them on board, so please spread the word.

@jacqueline For anyone questioning if Claude was used for selecting targets during the US attack on Iran, including bombing a school, here are some sources showing that Claude was used (and is still in use):

@ivaliotes @cwebber There are a decent number of Linux distros that have taken a stand against LLMs, one list is here: https://noai.starlightnet.work/list.html
But if they don't have a kernel without slop that they can use, they're either going to have to give up on resisting slop from upstream or make/maintain a slop-free kernel (nontrivial).

@MicroSFF Cthulhu was actually just trying to escape his shitty timeline, but when he woke up it was a case of "you don't know what you've got till it's gone" and he just wanted to recreate what he ran away from

I scattered native plant seeds on Sat Feb 21:
* Early goldenrod / Solidago juncea
* Virginia bluebells / Mertensia virginica
* Canadian wood betony / Pedicularis canadensis
I scraped at the leaves & dirt and tried to drop seeds into crevices/depressions so they would be protected, while still technically on the surface. I hear these seeds need light to grow and can't be buried deep.
Was this too late for cold stratification?

@nasser Sorry, what I was asking is, would the JavaScript implementation be more or less energy intensive than the no-JS implementation (when looking at client and server combined)?

@nasser I'm most concerned about total energy use / emissions on client + server. I despise JavaScript because of the bloated interfaces using it that make my fans spin up. Would one of these implementations be more efficient overall?
I also find JavaScript aesthetically displeasing as a language and I don't like adding to Brendan Eich's legacy, but LLMs seem like a much larger threat to the environment these days and they might be even harder to avoid than JavaScript now. No LLMs here right?

It is currently impossible to bike on Forbidden Drive or the Lincoln Drive trail without a bike specifically designed for this purpose. I saw one guy with enormous tires making some headway, but everyone else with a normal bike gave up and turned around. I walked most of the way with walk assist.
The #snow was just too deep and squishy, it was like #biking on a sand dune. The paved #trails should be plowed at least, one guy said they used to plow one lane of Forbidden Drive in the 90s and 00s.

@jcrabapple Sadly, SimpleX is run by fascists. Just read any post from their lead developer on Nazified Twitter for confirmation, like this post promoting hatred against trans people: https://x.com/epoberezkin/status/1881832239186759841
Even if they weren't fascists, they are a for-profit company that has taken VC funding, which means they would be doomed to become evil in the long run.

@ater I saw a "junk bug" recently, out of season next to heated outdoor seating for a restaurant: Leucochrysa pavida, the Lichen-carrying Green Lacewing. Perhaps in nature it carries lichen, but it sure looked to me like it was carrying food crumbs instead.
