I did not expect to be sharing to the fediverse this early in the year. Big ups to everyone who made this possible👏
It’s all fediverse from here on out
men will literally buy used thinkpad and install arch #linux instead of going to therapy
This is exactly why we need the fediverse
I’ve used AI everyday for months until Sora came out. I’m not afraid of it, but don’t know where I fall in on this. Gotta think it over

It’s ironic that GM decided to pull CarPlay and Android Auto in favor of their in-house infotainment systems only for their software to be so buggy that they’ve had to stop selling the Chevy Blazer EV until they fix the system.

Car companies are a great example of how culture eats strategy for breakfast. It’s a smart strategy not to be dependent on Apple and Google for key software. But if you can't execute a transition to a software development culture then it's dumb.

GM stops selling the Chevy Blazer EV to deal with ‘software quality issues’

The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV is no longer available while GM works on software bugs breaking the electric SUV’s infotainment system and its ability to charge properly.

Sam Altman is taking feature requests for OpenAI on Twitter. I’m glad to see he’s captured “control over degree of wokeness/behavior” since I’m sure he doesn’t want to lose that business to Elon Musk. đŸ€ŠđŸŸâ€â™‚ïž

Several years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing #ActivityPub! 🙌

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247

The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send a merge request to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git

First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’.

Smart move by #GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer.
