@nprofile…s37t a thelio but in laptop form. 😏

I think I've fully adopted to writing scripts in #typescript with #deno. 😅 It can be so immensely convenient.
You can bundle hack something fairly quickly. With dependencies pinned. And most of all, still have some level of security.
Can't say the same of all my other language scripts. 🫠

@nprofile…7s4z thank you thank you thank you for making this small slice of the internet worth while! I personally wouldn't be in social web without fosstodon. I hope for all the best.

Absolutely incredible introduction on why #enshittification by @nprofile…qz4x . 🤯 Simply put, I'm going to and to recite this every time people talk why things keep getting worse in tech.

I have an unpleasant luxury of being subject matter expert on things. 🙃
Sounds great, until you have to ask questions. 🫠 Which means getting ideas, requires experimenting in depth.
With the #LLM craze, I've gotten the habit of prompting for these experiments. And absurdly, it's working! 😅
I think these agents are only going to get mor powerful. If you know what to prompt, the time saved can be immense. Even, when they are wrong, you still get to see a potential way of doing something. 😏

I know it's early, but #MCP (model context protocol) has potential to displace #terraform on infra.
It may be considerably horrible what #LLM builds, but I think you'll see more do this. Simply because it's "easy." 🫠

The new #gnome site redesign is so nice. I can see people thinking they could "buy it." 😅
Though you can. By the donate button. 😁

Even #linux can't escape the #ai push on desktop. Now potentially on #gnome. 🫠

I'm used to doing extensive research on a topic. Spending hours if not days. All to get something I can stitch together in hopes it works. 🫠
Though occasionally after I'm stomped, I'm asking #LLM. I'm getting actual productive answers! 😅 Enough to move faster.
That may not seem like a lot, but it helps get back time. 😎
And not always are LLM correct! 😉 But the answers they provide are enough to get further into a real solution.

There's a trend on my posts. 😉
Running #marl as a #webxdc app is pretty darn sweet. #deltachat is so versatile. It just keeps getting better. 😄

I really like the starter pack idea from #bluesky. Very keen to see this potentially come to #mastodon. 😎
Starter packs aren't exactly a list. More of a way to nurture the social graph you have visibility to.

The work #ghost is doing to their #fediverse integration is pretty interesting. 😎 Like having long and short distinction, for consuming content, on the UI. It sounds obvious, but not as wide use. Maybe #Substack does this? 🤔
Ghost versatility may make it excellent for single user instances.
Example, same thing you use for publishing long form content is same tool you use to spam about pugs. 🐶 All without polluting the streams. Very nice. 😄

Ok, I clearly was living under a rock. #systemd version 256 is packed with updates.
For me #run0 and capsule are the ones I'm most excited about. 😄
@npub19la…hm4g has been an incredible job cataloging it all.
