I just threw out some those avocado paste tins from the fridge. It was expired. Very expired. To give you a hint how expired it was - it expired when Joe Biden was still president and 2 years into his term. 🤡

@jti42@infosec.exchange @gnome@floss.social Sure, and hopefully less work on reviewing extensions. See my post about JP's work queue. But he knows how to instantly identify work from LLMs but he does want not have so many errors.

Replying to @jti42@infosec.exchange
@jti42@infosec.exchange @gnome@floss.social This was something JustPerfection and I talked about. I urged him to setup a claude.md or agents.md and put all those in there so that it would teach LLMs to do it the right way. If you leave the field, you don't have control. So better to learn in and use the tools that we have to at least reduce slop by showing what to do.

Just so you know how much JustPerfection does for GNOME Extensions, he gets approximately 40-45 extension review requests a day. I don't know how he has the time but he's become very efficient at it.

If you're an extension developers and you have a crypto account - please send a little to JP. If you care about GNOME extensions, he's a one man army.

@Larvitz@burningboard.net you know, it would be kind of rad if we added "commercial breaks" but it's just reads trending mastodon posts through whisper. Or even popular blog that you could read later. I boosted your post talking about a 'free desktop' tv station so to speak, but I dont know how I would generate content from gnome and kde's youtube channel and turn it into a station...

I've been playing around with home assistant and it's just fascinating! I'm working on getting rid of alexa and google from our home (although i reckon google nest is gonna stay) but what is fascinating and frightening is the level of data that is exposed. The granularity is kind of nuts. Like I could react to someone playing a song or movie and do something. The level of surveillance I can do in my own home is crazy. #surveillance #homeassistant

I"m going to my first #hiphop and #rap concert evah! The artist is #blackmilk and he plays a kind of chill expression of the form, with some great lyrics. I'm usually a prog rock kind of guy but I've been branching out.

They are playing tonight in #pdx at the Jack London Revue. If you're into that kind of thing and live in Portland, you should check it out.

I understand national tequila day is this friday? Well well well.. I need to come up with a appropriate GNOME inspired drink eh? Thoughts? What would be in a #GNOME inspired drink, eh?

Come up with the ingredients (with tequila) and let me see what I can come up with. :D

Maybe, cumin infused tequila, lime, contreau, orange juice and Pápalo sweetened with agave syrup? Maybe orange bitters too? (hey man, GNOME was made by Mexicans!)

@stefano It is worth reading the last comment by ebassi about this change - https://discourse.gnome.org/t/please-retain-middle-click-paste/33477/68 Specifically "Changing the default is, ideally, just the first step towards improving the behaviour of GTK with regards to text areas, while removing a well-known trap for newcomers and experienced users alike, especially in a world where a “middle click” is often emulated and does not behave consistently across different platforms and application stacks."

@ludwigseibt @halla @tragivictoria @LAS ah - unfortunately, a bit of a chicken and egg problem given that companies won't port to Linux if there is no market research that says they can make a profit. That's why financial transactions on flathub will be important so that we can measure financial success. Until then there are cloud based apps like Canva/Figma or self host options like https://penpot.app/

@VileLasagna Sure, but I think what's changed here is that paying customers using your service getting the AI treatment - like now they'll create a new tier (enterprise?) where you have to pay even more for not getting your data trained. The entire issue here is that world govts are not moving fast enough to have a new "bill of rights" when it comes to data privacy. It makes GDPR into a joke.

I'm trying to understand this new attitude by platform providers that they have the right to the data we create to train their AI.

If I am a paying customer, I'm already paying for the service. If they want my data they should pay for that. I'm looking at you Atlassian.

Best to use open source and #selfhost. I'm doing that for some things. I still need to figure out google photos though. Telling me that they can train on my private photos is wild. #AI #enshittification

An advocate for Free Software, Open Source communities, the GNOME project, Open Hardware/Firmware - and sustainable open source - I might talk about politics too. Big community person, equity for all.

@screwturn@mastodon.social You are way overthinking this. Just lead with empathy. If you get called out for mansplaining - you a) pause and reflect b) apologize - nobody is looking to punish you, everyone understands that it is a learning process - you're trying to learn. People will give you grace.

@Rozzychan@fandom.ink @screwturn@mastodon.social @michcampbell@fediscience.org It's pretty prevalent in IT. It's was OK when I was younger and actually didn't know but tedious later.

@screwturn@mastodon.social @michcampbell@fediscience.org It's very simple - the premise comes by asking whether they know the topic without assuming that they might not know. That's really it. That actually goes for males too. It's just common courtesy. But it's something you have to learn because some of us generationally grew up in a patriarchy.

@argv_minus_one @stux I'd just switch to another server although my follower count is less there but I can at least still talk.

@SeanCasten my grandmother has advanced dementia and apparently she is up all hours of the night talking to herself, asking herself questions and then answering them. :/
