I hear there’s some sort of AI mandate coming but no idea what it is yet. A few coworkers poke at chatGPT for basic coding questions. I will not use it for anything at this point. IT here is mostly useless contractors so they can’t tell what we’re doing and they can’t make us do anything. My direct reporting chain will back me working how I want to work so I don’t foresee any issues.

I fully recognize I’m in a highly privileged position that many others aren’t. But I’m going to take full advantage and keep my sanity.

It has to do mostly with overwriting community (human) translations with (worse) machine translations. Paying google to redo the work your community did in good faith but badly with tech that goes against everything they’ve been saying they believe in. Doesn’t really bode well for the “opt-in” and “ethical” LLM features they claim are coming.

i think it’s fingerprints…?

Like a pun on data fingerprinting. But that’s not exactly what this service protects against.

They’re literally working with a manufacturer to make non-google phones. Tethered to google is a wild mischaracterization.

That’s a pretty rough way to serve videos if you get popular. Peertube at least does some peering to help mitigate your server load.

Pangolin continues to deliver wildly useful features.

I tried and bounced off of several of the other popular auth providers over the years. PocketID was the first one I found reasonable to set up and configure.

I moved my entire public facing set of services over to Pangolin a little over a month ago. It’s been pretty sweet. I really like the auth system and they just integrated custom oidc providers so I’ve got pocketID set up with it as well.

It Takes Two was fun time with 2 people. The story is a little corny but overall enjoyable.
