Engineering leader with ~13 years in software development and ~16 years working with web hosting, infrastructure, and production systems. I’ve worked across networking, full-stack development, DevOps, and engineering management, which gives me a strong end-to-end view of how systems and teams actually operate. Currently available for remote Engineering Manager or senior EM/IC roles.

I enjoyed this one, as well, though I think “Google kills Google” is more likely.

Now we just have to wait and see whether it’s…

“I’d be happy to answer your question… right after a word from our sponsor: Xyeniceli. Side effects may include ...”

OR

ChatGPT: “Why don't you let me fix you some of this Mococoa drink? All natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners.”

User: “What the hell are you talking about? Who are you talking to?”

ChatGPT: “I've tasted other cocoas. This is the best.”

I think it’ll be more like. “Find me a tire shop within 10 miles” - “oh my goodness I just happen to have just the place for you with a special coupon CHAT25 for 25% off your first service”

Only to find the price to be 25% more expensive

I wish it'd be so obvious then I could ask another LLM to read and remove the ads. :)

I fully expect it to be more shady like you ask for help with your hair, and it manipulates you into first thinking you need a specific kind of product, and then bringing up only the products that have paid for being there. Ideally you don't even know you've been advertised to.

(unless regulation prevents them from doing this in some regions)

Would the adoption of a Deno-like security posture in NPM have mitigated this?

pnpm is the better comparison maybe in this context. Most of Deno's approach to security is focussed on whole program policies which doesn't do much in this context. Just like pnpm and others, they do have opt-in for install scripts though. The npm CLI is an outlier there by now.

As someone who grew up hearing pledge drives every few months on (ad-free) Christian radio: Would that be an option to fund NPR? Surely those who want to listen/watch/support would donate regularly.

Half of NPR's revenue comes from payments from stations to run their programs, and most of the rest comes from individuals, businesses, and foundations. Those public radio stations are also mostly funded by listeners and donors.

Also, this isn't relevant anyway, because the article is about a dispute about a particular program that NPR was running.

Public Radio is already famous for their pledge drives with their tote bags.

Every local public radio affiliate station already does this.

What happened last summer? (I couldn't find anything on it)

It did not happen in public, and is not related to any public events.

@dang if possible please stick this reply to the top, @gargron is the author himself (the CEO stepping down)

Why would it be their responsibility to succeed at topics in the fediverse more than it's your responsibility?

So which topics did you fail/refuse to crack down on the fediverse @Maken?

I personally failed to push harder for DIDs so switching servers without losing followers is easier.

A thread with a user that devolved into name calling.

Or the Twitter fight where he encouraged people to DOS the rival.

Or the account takeover CVE and repercussions.

Do you mean dox?

I know we must have some terminally online fediverse users here. One of them must have an idea what he is alluding to.

I'm not entirely sure, I wonder if that is related to the "fight" between fans of ActivityPub and fans of Bluesky AtProto where he was personally involved.

Because both protocols can actually interface together, we had people on both side of the 2 networks talking to each other in the same thread (which is truly impressive when you think about it)

I feel like an opportunity was missed by one letteR.

> "Also in the UK, Ring users complained on social media that their doorbells were not working."

I sincerely hope that the base functionality of these doorbells (i.e., triggering the ringing of the bell within the home) is preserved in the event of an internet outage.
