@ignaloidas oh yeah that's fair, Python perhaps wasn't the best example. Just any open ecosystem language with support in other IDEs, linting, static checks, etc.

@ChrisWere Ditto, seeing the same, seems to default to lower resolutions way more aggressively these days

Fascinated by the responses here, how do so many people prefer forcing their preferred indent width on everyone else for literally zero gain? https://toot.wales/@ChrisWere/113818016412342374

A reminder that "no politics" is in itself a political statement, and nothing is apolitical.Can't believe how often this comes up.This tweet is about fosstodon.

Imagine designing a game launcher that can restart itself to update *while you're playing a game*, and take focus away from the game.This brought to you by my personal-best run in Trackmania that was cancelled near the end by Ubisoft Connect. RIP o7.

Might be poking a hornets nest but having seen a few of these takes I gotta inform...AFAIK this is not a Mastodon "win". This is a UK law that all sites serving the UK (including your Mastodon host) need to follow. It only applies to UK users and is a requirement for serving adult content. UK folks can stay on bsky anonymously and adult content will be filtered out (and DMs are disabled?).Yes, the law sucks, but Bluesky is only following it. Mastodon hosts may need to do the same too.

Yup it's insane, and grossly unenforceable. Idk what our government is thinking really. It's also likely most masto hosts will just ignore it, especially those hosted outside of the UK, so maybe you'll get lucky!I'm just not here for silly social media wars when the real problem is dumb governments "protecting the kids" from seeing some nipples. God forbid.

Also FWIW our regulator has listed the possible methods for making a decent guess at age and some can be implemented in privacy focused ways - e.g. a privacy focused third party could vouch for age to a site without giving the site any personal details. Or a site could implement on-device facial age checks. Yes, apparently just checking a face could be enough.https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/protecting-children/age-checks-for-online-safety--what-you-need-to-know-as-a-user

For the love of god can we stop anthropomorphising LLMs. No, ChatGPT did not "come up with an excuse" or "think about its mistakes". Gemini did not "lie about its reasoning" or "struggle to understand basic concepts". Grok didn't "decide to praise Nazis" or "express it's support for genocide".They're mimics designed cynically to trick you into assigning them a humanity that they'll never have, and giving them false agency allows their designers and creators an innocence they don't deserve.

@jplebreton yup, as with so much of the night's rhetoric it's projection. They know they do these things, be it lying, corruption or full on violence. The right statistically does it more, so the only way to change the narrative is to simply project that into your opponents constantly.

Alright, time to move away from Firefox.Anyone have recommendations of stuff they've been using for a while that has good options for Android cross compatibility? Ideally the browser is on both, but using a 3rd party to sync some stuff is fine by me.

Time for a #discord alternatives thread, for no particular reason.I've actually been looking into all available options for the past few weeks for other reasons, so here's a thread to share what I've found. In particular I'm looking for stuff with:* Data sovereignty* Strong moderation tools* Wide platform supportHopefully this gives everyone else some ideas too, and feel free to chime in with corrections, suggestions or anything else!
