Ah, timely as ever, really riding that crypto hype

At least they’re not launching their own token yet

imo you can’t really open source a black box that is functionally impossible to audit

On CI/CD, woodpecker is fairly trivial to set up to work with gitea/forgejo if something like that is needed

“look, Activision wasn’t cheap. We’ve gotta keep the lights on here”

I recently listened to the vergecast episode about all of MS’s recent announcements and was genuinely shocked to hear recall being compared to, more or less, the local caching that already happens while you use your computer (+ the normalized big tech tracking).

I’m shocked I tell you! Shocked!

Inshallah

To be fair the “last time I checked” was a couple months ago, glad to see it tho!

Good thing most of the extant instances are European then 👍

Isn’t the “trajectory” that these systems are incredibly unsustainable both economically and environmentally? I’d hope that a machine that uses a few thousand homes’ worth of energy to answer a single query would be more useful than “can generate boilerplate code for me” or whatever.

Mostly for the federated bits I assume. Being able to follow people’s bookwyrm accounts from your other socials is an interesting idea, though I don’t know how often it actually happens in practice. If that stuff doesn’t interest you then yeah just use OL directly ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

IIRC bookwyrm lets you search openlibrary for books if they’re not known by your server or some well-known instances like bookwyrm.social

It’s a shame that it probably won’t even be that much of a visual improvement, if Starfield is any indication
