@erebion@chaos.social @vascorsd@mastodon.social the end users rely on software clients that make insane choices
I only know about these XEPs because using normal clients like Conversations on mobile will break and fuck up everything if you connect it to the wrong server or talk to a user with the wrong client, I can't control that shit 😛

Your friendly neighborhood tech frog, here to explore society and complex systems together. My personal views are obscure and will probably be grating to most people, but we don't have to agree to be friends!
Will often discuss things like distributed systems, programming, society, and computer security. Politics WILL come up sometimes. Video games are cool too :blobowo:
I do serious research in between memes I swear, follow for fun computer adventures, and help build a better society together!!

If you believe in the future, stay away from AI.
At first you may feel like you've been left behind. Don't worry -- think, read, write, take time to develop your abilities.
Be present.
When the AI madness passes (yes, it will pass) your skills will be more valuable than ever.

"With hardware of our very own, Pinky."
"Wait...you mean...like the Ancients used?"
"Yes, in the long-long ago, when we made the magic smoke come out of boxes of our very own."
"but he cautioned against being overly precious about the value of deeply understanding one's code, which is no longer necessary to ensure that it works"that's it, this quote alone has convinced me to pivot harder into cybersecurity, these fucking clowns will construct their death bed and I'll laugh as I exploit them for another cool million in fees using methods and program behavior nobody at the company can even comprehend

Does anyone here in the Bay Area have a lead on a month-to-month room or ADU or unit in any proximity to Menlo Park? A friend-for-whom-I-will-vouch is on the receiving end of a very sudden return-to-office crisis. (Feel free, and my thanks, to spread widely.)
