  • AI is a tool and like all tools, it depends on how you use it and who uses it. Not everybody’s a software engineer. I talked to a software architect who was very happy about AI agents because they could design and architect a solution and let it be implemented right there. They didn’t need a software engineer (their words).

    Just because you use an AI agent doesn’t make you dumber or make you turn off your mind. After being encouraged to use AI agents at work, I’m come to appreciate that even with them there are vastly different levels of usage.






  • Yunohost is probably more secure than you figuring everything out yourself. More people have a vested interest in keeping it secure. They have a minimal page on security but they have fail2ban, unattended upgrades,and a secure SSH configuration. If something is discovered, you might be vulnerable but at least there will be knowledgeable people fixing it.

    Security is always difficult and nothing is 100% secure. The three letter agencies around the world have been hacked and they are in the business of hacking others. Hackers themselves get hacked on the regular. Using yunohost as a noon probably reduces the chance of you getting hacked.

    If you have something only you need to access, you can also host yunohost for yourself and make it accessible only via a VPN. Headscale, tailscale, maybe even your router provides a VPN service, or setup wireguard yourself. If others have to access it… I dunno. That’s a good question to ask on /c/selfhosted







  • Dude, people are still asking wtf functors, monoidd, monads, and other such things are and there are papers written about those things all the time. Why is it so hard to accept that not everybody can stay awake while reading a scientific article? Are you just unwilling to accept that videos are easier to consume?

    Some people cannot understand what such scientific articles are saying because of how they were written and for which audience. Are you unaware that visual aids and animations exist? Do you think describing something is always better than showing it? There is a reason the expression “a picture can say more than a thousand words”.

    Yes, there are some videos that are just somebody reading an article to you with no added content, but I feel like this argument is brought jp regardless of video. Providing a DOI:// link just makes me shake my head.



  • I don’t understand this view either. What’s it to ya? You cant see what the person does anyway. There doesn’t seem to be a point behind it besides control.

    Also, it simply is difficult to implement. You have to tell every server “do not show my posts and comments to these accounts”. Other servers can just choose to ignore that. It’s centralized thinking to believe the “feature” will work all the time.
