Nostur supports muted conversations and muted words, but not muted accounts? Sometimes I just need to mute someone I’m following for a couple of days while they’re being annoying.

I don't think AI devs realize how much they sound exactly like addicts. You need that fix no matter what the cost. It doesn't matter if you're actually producing anything that's actually useful or actually needed, you're just so fucking excited that you can't wait to tell everyone how good it makes you feel and how much you want to rely on it. It's really not a good look.

What does it mean that I get to the point where I want to mute every single person I follow? Maybe this place just isn’t for me

I am really struggling to set up vinyl cache and haproxy. This switch in naming from varnish to vinyl sucks. It’s impossible to find good documentation for getting things set up properly for the first time

Why are all of you so uncritical?

I don’t think Primal is working very well. I need a better app

This is the only acceptable way to celebrate the 250th

I am a trader. I don’t “believe” in any assets. The value of things change in relation to other things, and you can take advantage of those differences sometimes. How is it helpful to keep the stack/hodl mentality for literally any asset?

America Needs to Grow the Fuck Up

America Needs to Grow the Fuck Up

Once you understand the moral psychology of America's immaturity, everything about America's 250th birthday makes sense.

Spending the day watching videos about Indian reservations in the US.

My country is not just some joke to me. I want it to not be shit. It requires actually understanding what’s wrong so that work can be done to make it better. Fake patriotism does nothing but make things worse.

I miss when developers used to care about the problems they were trying to solve with software and focusing on coming up with real long-term solutions instead of shitting out half baked projects that they move on from the second they think of some other shit to sloppily vibe their way through.

So I see you people on Nostr haven't grown up enough to stop using the word "retarded". Y'all sound like my friends in middle school in 1996.

So LLMs: 1. Produce low quality code that doesn't last 2. Rob you of practice you need to improve your cognitive ability 3. Trick you into thinking they aren't the most inefficient form of development (through increasing token input/output inside subsidized plans) 4. Leave you with a very poor understanding of the things you build 5. Require you to give every one of your thoughts to untrustworthy companies 6. Can be made unavailable at any moment and 7. May randomly be nerfed even if made available again View quoted note →

I'm guessing vocal LLM users don't realize how much they sound like addicts.

The circle-jerking in this place is getting pretty annoying to watch.
