Why oh why was Bundler merged *into* the rubygems main repository, but still isn't fully integrated into rubygems but is instead treated more like a bundled/default gem? Example: rubygems own bin stubs that are installed into $GEM_HOME/bin are not bundler/Gemfile.lock aware. They could automatically detect you are running a gem's executable command within a project with a Gemfile.lock and automatically select the bundled version, which would eliminate the need for bundler's own binstubs.
This is classic VC/Founder bullshit from Altman: “Our app/tech/company will be amazing for everyone and change the world! No, I won't be using it though, nor will my family”

Sam Altman told an audience at a Federal Reserve conference that AI will eliminate entire categories of jobs, specifically singling out customer support as a job AI will take over. He also argued ChatGPT is already better than doctors at diagnosing most ailments while he personally may be a “dinosaur” for not wanting to fully entrust his health to AI without any humans in the loop. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jul/22/openai-sam-altman-congress-ai-jobs

Unless you *need* what an #SPA gives you, a good #Ruby / #RubyOnRails / #Hotwire or #Elixir / #Phoenix / #LiveView app will cost about half as much to build, and be more performant.
Seems like all the most experienced developers I know avoid #ReactJs. Not because React is bad, per se, but because every React project we've ever encountered seems to over-complicate everything. It's usually a #singlePageApp #SPA for no good reason. Almost always too many components, too many unnecessary layers of abstraction, too many files involved in a simple change, too much code duplication, etc. I wonder why those correlate so strongly with React.
What I really want is to have a slider for each person I follow, that can reduce the amount of posts I see from them. But I want to be able to influence how it determines what I want to see. Like ask me to rate the most recent ‘n’ posts by that person, then use AI to figure out what it should show me, based on my ratings and the slider value. Are there any Mastadon servers that support that? Or could be made to support that? #Mastodon #MastoAdmin
I hate it when I follow someone on the socials because I enjoy what they have to say, but they post way more often than I can keep up with.

society: damn misinfo at scale is getting a bit out of hand lately. seems like a problem.

tech guys: i have invented a machine that generates misinformation. is that helpful?
