Why there is pretty much no real innovation in tech industry?

Beacause there is no real Research & Development being done - tech industry is so much less than Bell Labs and so much more like Microsoft, Google and Apple. Crapload of money doesn't generate innovative breakthroughs if talented people are micromanaged and squeezed into Jira boards and deadlines, also scared to be randomly hit by another "optimization" layoffs 

This is why the best the industry has to offer is the new iPhone that doesn't differ from the previous, synthetic parrot that repeats scraps of texts without any sensible context for enormous amount of energy (LLMs), and tech jobs that sucks the soul from enthusiastic geeks to exhaustion and overburn

Unlock the Power of SQL TRUNCATE
Looking to quickly remove all records from a table without affecting its structure?
SQL TRUNCATE is faster and more efficient than DELETE
✅Removes all data from a table in a snap

✅ Doesn’t log individual row deletions, improving performance

✅ Resets auto-increment counters

✅ Doesn't fire triggers

Few pictures from an inspiring Day 2 at #ServerlessDaysRome 🌐 December 2024.

The talks, the people, the energy - exactly what the tech community needs.

From serverless architectures to real-world use cases, I left with new ideas, new connections, and fresh inspiration for upcoming projects.

Grazie Roma 🇮🇹

I hate JavaScript so much I developed an app with it  

Wrapped it as  application to run in a WebView, but it also runs on a normal browser 

Being web application it is visible source, but also published as real open source 

Give it a go - I find those old-school  screensavers soothing - and let me know your thoughts about it.

Bouncing Logo is pending inclusion into Samsung Galaxy Store, next will be adding it to @fdroidorg 

Oh, and it's on self-hosted @forgejo instance

Attention server admins! Yesterday I've read a post by @simon_brooke how nasty AI scraper bots are attacking his self-hosted @forgejo instance. Soon after I'm seeing unusual, periodic traffic spikes on mine and again - dominated by OpenAI, but some other freeloaders too:

With GPTBot and SemrushBot attacking hardest 

They've been hammering my little server periodically today as well, slowing down my instance dramatically as if I was experiencing malicious DDoS attack  Well, in a sense it is one 

Watch out - it seems corporate AI techbros learned to scrape  content and starts doing it on a massive scale  Remember when @Codeberg was (and repeatedly is) hit?

For now blocked IP ranges and User-Agent combinations, not sure for how long that will be enough 

Please boost for visibility and be prepared!
