Poor guy deserves a break
  • For a second, I had no idea wtf this meme was on about.

    Then I had memories come rushing in, and it was honestly kind of overwhelming.

    10/10, would retrieve lost memories again.

  • Politician says they're going to remove all the trans books from the children's library. There aren't any trans books there.
  • “This book says to be nice to people who are different from you” BANNED

    “This book says that everyone gets to choose for their own body” BANNED

    “This book says boys don’t have to only play with boy things, and girls don’t have to only play with girl things” BANNED

  • We've refactored to microservices
  • If you’re not deliberately min-maxing the CAP Theorem or doing EDA, there’s no reason to use microservices and every reason not to.

    It is not just an implementation detail or a matter of preference. There are fundamental UX implications.

    That can be a net positive for users (and developers). But if you’re doing it “just cuz”, you’re gonna have a bad time.

  • My home servers are not a homelab
  • Insert bell curve meme:

    Low IQ: I treat my production instance as a place to experiment

    Mid IQ: No, production must evolve slowly, with big changes only running in dev

    High IQ: I treat my production instance as a place to experiment

  • The tragedy of the commons
  • Elinor Claire "LinOstrom (née Awan; August 7, 1933 – June 12, 2012) was an American political scientist and political economist[1][2][3] whose work was associated with New Institutional Economicsand the resurgence of political economy.[4]In 2009, she was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for her "analysis of economic governance, especially the commons", which she shared with Oliver E. Williamson; she was the first woman to win the prize.[5]

    While the original work on the tragedy of the commons concept suggested that all commons were doomed to failure, they remain important in the modern world. Work by later economists has found many examples of successful commons, and Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel Prize for analysing situations where they operate successfully.[17][14] For example, Ostrom found that grazing commons in the Swiss Alps have been run successfully for many hundreds of years by the farmers there.[18]

    Ostrom's law

    Ostrom's law is an adage that represents how Elinor Ostrom's works in economicschallenge previous theoretical frameworks and assumptions about property, especially the commons. Ostrom's detailed analyses of functional examples of the commons create an alternative view of the arrangement of resources that are both practically and theoretically possible. This eponymous law is stated succinctly by Lee Anne Fennell as:

    A resource arrangement that works in practice can work in theory.[42]

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent
  • Citation Needed (by Molly White) also frequently bashes AI.

    I like her stuff because, no matter how you feel about crypto, AI, or other big tech, you can never fault her reporting. She steers clear of any subjective accusations or prognostication.

    It’s all “ABC person claimed XYZ thing on such and such date, and then 24 hours later submitted a report to the FTC claiming the exact opposite. They later bought $5 million worth of Trumpcoin, and two weeks later the FTC announced they were dropping the lawsuit.”

  • 'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup
  • I think one of the most toxic things on Lemmy is the prevalence of judging normies for using incredibly popular services and ascribing it to a character defect instead of life just being too complex for most people to be able to prioritize exploring more ethical technology choices.

  • Elon Musk's Grok AI Will 'Remove Her Clothes' In Public, On X

    I feel like there’s a substantial overlap between “fuck AI” and “fuck entitled misanthropic man-children”.

    .kkrieger: Making an impossible FPS

    From Wikipedia:

    > .kkrieger (from KriegerGerman for warrior) is a first-person shooter video game created by German demogroup .theprodukkt (a former subdivision of Farbrausch), which won first place in the 96k game competition at Breakpoint in April 2004. The game has never been fully released, remaining instead in the beta stage of development as of 2025, which renders it a perpetual beta.
