Probably.

But teams has messed up in another work place before as well. The October update in 2023 borked the entire office at a completely different workplace. Fun times.

I hate teams. We use it for work and everyone just haaaates it. OAuth half the time doesn’t work, so we have to go to the browser.

Windows updates have broken it and it wont open as an app a couple of times. It takes up an obscene amount of CPU just sitting there being an electron app. My work windows box has about 2x the specs of my laptop and my laptop runs sooo much faster than windows/teams bs. Windows 11 is going to use react on the start bar…and I cant imagine what this is going to look like with teams on top. I wish we got linux/*NIX machines to work with like my last job.

Quite a few classic movies would not be a thing if cell phones were in the universe at the time.

Yep had to do a lot of work getting it to a good place.

Thanks totally agree. And appreciate the comment.

I feel like this is still a community and less people trying to influence. Or less so at least.

Lol slapfight.

I kinda like the fediverse as is. We keep slowly growing our services. We don’t need to be social media.

We can be social sure but without the need to be ever growing. I would rather us concentrate on the people and giving us power rather than huge orgs that are going to do huge org things.

Yep users move over time. Its the natural order of things. I disagree with the article that moving away from SO is "bad news for developers " as long as we have something better in the works. It looks like Discord is the thing everyone is jumping on, which kinda sucks.

Yep I agree. Its a combo of many different things.

I cant tell you the last time I was on SO for a question. its been that long.

The article also goes into it, but I think the invent of AI and asking somewhat specific questions may also explain the decline. If you can get a result that can get you 90% of the way there with an AI that used stack overflow as a resource, theres no reason to actually ask on stack overflow. Its faster to go on the AI result or go on google/bing/etc…etc… that has the answer right there on the page.

And the redesign…its pretty bad in my opinion.

I was once downvoted answering a question on a library…that I created on stack overflow. Still makes me laugh.

That graph tells a story.

I hacked my CPAP. I removed the cancer causing material and did work getting the software in a better state. Also removed the mobile chip that communicates with the original company. Fun times.

I think its important to figure out what you mean by AI?

Im thinking a majority of people here are talking about LLMs BUT there are other AIs that have been quietly worked on that are finally making huge strides.

AI that can produce songs (suno) and replicate voices. AI that can reproduce a face from one picture (theres a couple of github repos out there). When it comes to the above we are dealing with copyright infringement AI, specifically designed and trained on other peoples work. If we really do have laws coming into place that will deregulate AI, then I say we go all in. Open source everything (or as much as possible) and make it so its trained on all company specific info. And let anyone run it. I have a feeling we cant put he genie back in the bottle.

If we have pie in the sky solutions, I would like a new iteration of the web. One that specially makes it difficult or outright impossible to pull into AI. Something like onion where it only accepts real nodes/people in ingesting the data.

It’s a pretty fun game. Wish there were more levels.

A repurposed old PC with something like yunohost, generic Debian, or some lightweight Linux will probably get you what you need.

It heavily depends on what programs you want to run.

This is great 👍👍👍

Creaper world. I like putting it on random and listening to audiobooks. It’s great for destress.

Could we just…call everything AI then and it cant be regulated. Cause that would be hilarious.

I wish yacy was better. Federated/self hosted search should be awesome.

Im having a real hard time wrapping my head around bondfire. It would be nice to have a standard library for activityhub in python (or other languages).
