“Lemmy, a decentralised discussion platform for communities”.

I like this one the most out of all the ones I’ve read here up to now.

I think this has the issue of making it easy to confuse it with Discourse, which is another very prominent (non-decentralized) open-source discussion forum software.

Technically yes, but it depends on the vice-president and the cabinet designating the president as being unable to perform his duties, so not gonna happen.

simplelogin.io is also a similar service to addy.io. It’s now owned by Proton.

California has inspections never.

No worries, thanks!

Most certainly! :)

True! :)

My biggest fear, and one that is not talked about in the article, is that we won’t have any asbestos removers in the future. Generative AI is being fed it’s own excrement and that’s being leveraged as working code to new coders. When this really becomes a liability we won’t have many left that can fix or figure out the fix cause it will have obfuscated all the usable info.

I think it’s going to be a complete shit show. Here’s the confluence of factors:

• From what little I’ve seen of AI code, it seems to write code that’s even more shit than human devs. I’m not in software dev, but I’m in IT operations and also studying CS. What I’ve seen of AI code in IT (PowerShell scripts) looked like it wrote 10+ lines where one or two would have done the job. In other words, it’s a form of obfuscation like you said.
• I strongly expect that fewer people are studying CS because they’re getting the message that AI is taking all the dev jobs. That’s true for the moment.
• Fewer coders are being hired, so there will be even fewer experienced devs in the future.

I think that this will all add up to a “dark ages” of software development in the not too distant future. There just won’t be enough people to fix all the AI junk, and the AI junk will essentially need to be ripped out altogether. Software quality and security will go down the drain, and it will take forever to fix it, if it even gets fixed at all. I think it really will be equivalent to the “dark ages” (I know that this term is not considered accurate nowadays, but I think it applies even more to this situation).

I’m hopeful for one thing though: that this phenomenon will strengthen free open source software relative to commercial software. If there are a bunch of devs who can’t get dev jobs, hopefully they will spend at least some of their time contributing to open source. On top of that, it appears to me that open source projects have been more resistant to accepting AI code. Let’s hope that this is a silver lining here.

Thanks! I saw this linked on Mastodon but haven’t read it yet.

As far as metal beds go, we’ve had this one for probably around 20 years and it’s a very sturdy design with wood slats that were quiet for many years: https://isonair.com/products/min-bed-alualu-wood-headboard?variant=53409969799497

The Design Within Reach chain of furniture stores used to carry them, but don’t appear to any longer. That link says they do free shipping to US, Canada, and Europe, but I’m not familiar with the site.

However, if I’m understanding your requirements correctly, it’s not as tall as you’re looking for. The mattress sits about 9.5 to 10 inches off the ground.

Either way, I have to tell you that wooden slats don’t stay quiet forever. A few years ago ours started to creak a little sometimes when I get on and off the bed, but it seems to be worse on my side because I’m heavier than my wife. I think this is to be expected with wooden slats, wooden floors, etc. Perhaps replacing them with new ones would make it quiet again.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear. It sounds like you could be either allergic or immune to getting high from cannabis, although I’ve never heard of either of those being a thing before. I’ve also never heard that about weed not getting you high the first time either. In any case, I’m not in any way knowledgeable or experienced about this stuff. :) Better to consult with more knowledgeable people (I’m sure there’s a Lemmy comm for it) if you’re still interested in trying. I can totally understand being worried about getting sick from it!

That’s great that you have a designated driver! Definitely a smart move.

Considering Maduro coordinated this and willingly stepped onto the helicopter

That sounds pretty wild. Do you have any source for it?

Honest question, is the ActiveDirectory PowerShell module available for Linux PowerShell? I can’t seem to find a clear answer from a brief search.

Discord does work, but i remember that maintaining it updated was a pain in the ass.

It may be better to run it as a Flatpak. There’s not only an official Flatpak for it, but also various third-party clients available too: https://flathub.org/en/apps/search?q=discord

Were you using the Flatpak version? You may have better luck with that. There are also a variety of third-party Discord clients for Linux. I’ve been using GoofCord without issues so far, but it’s early days.

My chief concern is that this wave of enshitifiation will eventually make it to Microsoft’s security support.

That and their general quality control. It’s already been happening. Their updates and new products have been having some serious issues with a lot more frequency over the last year. At least that’s the strong impression I have. Oh, here’s an article also calling this out: https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/08/microsoft_lacks_quality_control/ - apparently they may have started going down this path over a decade ago, but it seems to have accelerated since they started using Gen AI.

Interestingly enough, there are many cultures that have ancient flood myths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flood_myths

However, even if there might have been a first great flood it certainly wasn’t caused by a god.

The rdp client was renamed “Windows App”, remember?

Wait, let me say that this is not accurate without defending Microsoft (fuck them). The rdp client hasn’t been renamed, to my knowledge. What was renamed to Windows app was the other product very confusingly named “remote desktop client”, which was a Microsoft Store app meant to access things like Azure Virtual Desktop, their cloud Windows service, etc. Yes, incredibly confusing product naming from Microsoft, as usual.
