@GhostOnTheHalfShell I wish the article had included the prompt(s) used; their absence is a bit sus. The LLMs could easily be just turning in a homework-assignment (more or less what you're suggesting).

@juliepagano It was a little bit weird in that I really had to force it hard to get it to align with the hole, and it's so tight that I wasn't able to get the screw (which I think had to be the right one, but maybe not?) to go all the way in -- but it's definitely in there, since it has held up for a few months now.

@clarfonthey Yeah.

And... this isn't new, but we really need better community consensus-building tools, but that's a whole other discussion.

May ye rest well and recover.

@juliepagano I don't know if it's the same problem, but some months ago our fridge was doing this thing where if you didn't close it exactly right, the door alarm would go off -- and it kept getting worse, and the vacuum-seal didn't seem to be happening the way it used to...

...and it turned out that a screw had fallen out of one of the hinges that attach the door to the main fridge-frame, so it wasn't fitting squarely against the frame. Once I replaced that, everything started working properly again.

@clarfonthey I am honestly open to revisiting both of these decisions at any time; they were made largely by informal consensus several years ago now, and circumstances are changing faster than that.

@somecat Progress in the development of leading-edge Mistake Technology!

@osma

So, it sounds like part of the solution needs to be something like {app will automatically register a domain or subdomain for you, as an option}...?

Or does the solution need to go beyond DNS somehow?

Too Big to Fail Exist

Some people react with great anger to anything that doesn’t reflect their own level of alarm back at them. I understand.

But please consider this: If what you are saying boils down to “Trump could end the Republic whenever he wants to,” what you are contributing is certainly not plausible analysis.

@endocrimes EU skwirls are cuter than southern US (grey) skwirls.

(...but only a little. Don't let them get any big ideas or you'll never hear the end of it.)

@thomasfuchs Well, at least they don't have a negative impact... (It actually seems kinda unlikely to me that they don't, but it may depend on how that's measured.)

"All polls are flawed, but some are useful." -- internet misquote by me

@futurebird We were relentlessly drilled on this in 2nd grade (I wear the "privately schooled" badge of shame). I still have some of the worksheets... 👻

@BigShellEvent ...and they suspended the account! \o/

This might be a case of instance-owner privilege, but I don't know if they investigated that far.

@BigShellEvent I do sometimes see they have suspended accounts that have been reported (we get a copy of the report under circumstances that are only slightly non-opaque to me). ...so we shall see.

(Update: The account has been suspended. 💯)

FWIW, https://mastodon.social/@wzlhyp is not me. I've reported them.

@denebeim ...no? ...unless the one on my Nextcloud finally showed up somewhere...

I also have a few old accounts on instances that are no longer with us, which still show up in account-searches.

@silverwizard @overholt Oh no, I'll miss all the fun of jumping off the cliff!

@curiousicae Full credit for that should go to Dana Simpson, who ought to be on fedi but somehow is not.
