When I was a Reddit mod, the only use of that feature was for people we’d banned to send us abusive messages. Or ask why their spam was deleted.

Wasn’t that because of age verification though?

The web app could switch to lower res images (etc) if your connection is weak. Or if your battery is low it might switch out YouTube embeds for clickable images instead.

Love it, thanks!

Much better to add features to your software that make it unusable in totalitarian situations.

For example

• if you’re building a reddit clone, make each subreddit elect their moderators every few months.
• Maybe ask How fat is Kim Jon Un during installation.
• Display the text “Taiwan is not a part of China” in the status bar, randomly

…and so on. The possibilities are endless.

Also, turn off chat heads. Such obvious engagement bait.

There are probably a variety of mindsets that will do it.

For me, I think it was just really wanting to get away from being under the boot. Get away from the walled gardens. Like that feeling after using LinkedIn, except for the OS. Hearing the call of freedom, authenticity and humanity.

Increasing amounts of code running on my computer and in the online services I use will be written by generative AI.

Emphasis added by me.

Thing is, it’s not black and white most of the time - usually a developer is using Gen AI as an assistant in some capacity. There are a wide range of ways to do that with really big differences in how firmly their hand remains on the wheel of where things are going. Only in the most extreme “vibe coding” scenario would it be fair to characterize the code as “written by AI”.

There reaches a point somewhere on the spectrum of dependency on AI where quality would suffer and developer capacity-building would be stunted. Where that point is, is a more productive question than a binary Yes or No to all AI.

Yeah there’s really no coming back from this. He could go to work at Testa 14 days per week and it wouldn’t make any difference. That brand is toast.

It’s refreshing to see a major publication just flatly stating that he’s a fascist.

Ah ok, yep that sounds interesting.

The term for this is “multiseat”. That’s where you have one computer with N monitors and N keyboards and N mice plugged into it. Try typing “linux multiseat” into your search engine / chatgpt and see where that goes.

This isn’t a common thing to do so it probably won’t be easy. Also games and GPU-intensive apps might not play nice with multiseat…

Doing anything graphics intensive, like 3D modelling, tends to be really really janky and slow over a network. It’s not like streaming video where a bit of latency or jitter is acceptable - with 3D work you need an instant response when you try to manipulate an object. Rethink this whole approach because even if you get it work, it’ll be disappointing.

I heard you like spreadsheets so I put a spreadsheet in your game so you can spreadsheet while you game

I’m a bit confused. You start out by saying your want to build a server and then you talk about 3D software and a beefy graphics card. Those kinds of things are usually done on desktops / workstation PCs. Which is it?

Do you want one big computer and then run a few VMs on it, which you access through the LAN?

Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn’t.

After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn’t worth it.

Yes and $29.95 for unlimited years. No subscription.

Give https://chorebuster.net a try, it’s cheaper.

Have you tried it with gunicorn?
