I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

Programming@programming.dev•Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?English
4·7 days agoGo seems like a good option to begin with; you can do a lot with it, and it’s not that complicated but does expose you to concepts like pointers.
There are plenty of very “serious” systems written in Go (e.g. Kubernetes), it’s not a toy language.

Videos@lemmy.world•Zig 2026: No-AI Policy, $670K Foundation, Left GitHub & Why Zig Isn’t 1.0 - Andrew Kelley Explains | JetbrainsEnglish
5·13 days agoI really doubt he would have used AI for writing the policy against it after listening to him, but regardless. I do agree with you that it won’t go away, and we’ll have to find appropriate solutions to deal with it.

161·13 days agoI don’t. It shows that projects are getting flooded by low quality AI submissions to the point where they feel they need to ban it, despite the difficulty of enforcing it.
I worry that at some point many online spaces will deteriorate because real interactions and content are drowned out by AI.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Flo period tracking app is proven spyware! Here is what you should use instead.English
3·15 days agoThe flo app apparently shared data with Facebook. Besides that, there already have been multiple cases where police used Flock cameras for abortion investigations, so this really isn’t that far fetched.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
4·17 days agoI’d say go ahead but make sure it produces accurate enough results and make sure to add something like [AI Transcribed] in front so people can take the potential for additional errors into consideration when reading it.
Also, if you’re using an online service make sure you’re using something that doesn’t use it as training data. Many (probably almost all) artists / photographers won’t appreciate that.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
1·17 days agoAlmost all OCR tools use machine learning AFAIK, the commonly used Tesseract OCR software also uses a neural network.
It certainly isn’t AGI, but AI just means machine learning nowadays.

Okay,
So let me get this straight, when I actively asked you to communicate with me, you refused, humiliated me and made sure to insult me in front of people.
You defame me in public with your CVE-2026-45585 advisory even though you literally deleted the Microsoft account I used to report bugs to you with and I got zero pennies from doing so and I still happily did like an idiot.
Now you take the courtesy to flag my github account and wipe it out of the public, just like that ? You are proving to everyone that you actively escalating this conflict but I’m done begging you.
I might sound like crazy idiot who is whinning around but I have proof for every single word I said, I just can’t release it yet. Why ? Microsoft still has chains in my hands, it’s been like this for years and I just can’t stay silent anymore. I hope I can release the documents soon.
Mark this date July 14th, I will make sure your bones are shattered that day. Nothing will be released this June (or maybe I will release smtg, depending on circumstances).
Also,
CVE-2026-45498 is UnDefend
CVE-2026-41091 is RedSun
