Spammers have been programmatically creating accounts on Mastodon instances for years. Sometimes they post once and never again, sometimes they post on a schedule. Sometimes they never post, like a waiting botnet.

As Mastodon's anti-spam solutions are effectively nonexistent, most instances in our network require manual approval of new accounts. Up until recently, it was easy to spot a spammer; their join reasons were generic.

ChatGPT spammers have now arrived.

It is raining and terribly smoky at the same time, and I have a meeting soon to talk about a billionaire private astronaut mission run by a billionaire-owned space launch company that dropped space debris on farms near my house. This apocalyptic scifi novel I'm living in is dumb.

Related... Talking with a friend at $unnamed_company discussing their custom VCS that's ... sorta Git w/submodules? But not. And also, it treats every directory as a submodule?

Chris Petrilli 2d ago

All of this complexity to solve access control for one module. Literally, 1 module.

HoldMyType 2d ago

@petrillic somewhat like calling a a script a micro service ?

AdeptVeritatis 2d ago

That sounds like a problem in the chain of responsibilities in the company.

Someone higher up must have stopped it. The situation "I know the neighbor of my son's best friend and he programmed a solution." will inevitable arise sooner or later. And it must be dealt with accordingly.

It is not a problem of the developing neighbor.

@petrillic but I could make it 0.82% more efficient...by rewriting systemd.

@alice @petrillic
...in Rust

sasutina13a 🇨🇦 🇪🇺 🇯🇵 🌐2d ago

@railwhale @alice @petrillic Better yet, write systemd in nullcode.

@petrillic This is unfair. I'm not even a dev and now I kind of want to see if I can maybe do something with it.

@petrillic no one has ever escaped this trap

@petrillic But reinventing shit is FUN!

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲2d ago

This works for mechanical engineers in bicycle shops, too.

@petrillic I spend an inordinate amount of time examining the quality of the wheel, and then leave.

@petrillic This needs rewriting in Rust.

@petrillic I'm not a Wayland developer. I immediately walk out through the unlocked door.

Robin Stephenson 1d ago

@aaron @petrillic do you walk out with or without systemd?

@petrillic question: is the wheel implemented in rust?

Luka Rubinjoni 2d ago

@petrillic In case you wish to fork the project, here's a rusty fork that you'll need to...

Cavyherd 2d ago

"Yes, but if I do have to reinvent it, how many corners should it have?"

Jan Peterka 2d ago

@cavyherd @petrillic It should be extendable for any number of corners some future update and/or plugin decides to support.

Also this version of wheel will support containerization of course.

@petrillic actually thats a GNU/Wheel

delve ✨2d ago

@petrillic I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Wheel is in fact GNU/Wheel, or as I have recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Wheel...

morfil (any)🌈2d ago

@petrillic I have notes. As I understand, the whole point of open source is to NOT be dependent on big for money corporations but to form a community and do it yourself, as a collective. That demands a sort of ' I'm not just gonna buy, I'm gonna make' sort of attitude that starts with curiosity and then lets creativity do its thing. So perhaps just leave the efficiency thing to the big money cops? Otherwise you might lose more than you gain?

@petrillic ohhh so that's what the wheel group is for

Don Faulkner 2d ago

@petrillic do I need a “drivers license” or something to use this wheel? Is the drivers license open source compatible?

Magnus Ahltorp 2d ago

@petrillic You’ve found a letter from the SCO marketing department. And no, their wheel wasn’t working just fine.

Rachel Greenham 2d ago

@petrillic ok wise guy, you tell us what colour it should be

Scribblemacher 2d ago

@petrillic Web Dev: "This is just silly. Do npm install truck, and take the wheel off the truck"

Franchesca 2d ago

@scribblemacher @petrillic Coming from a C++ background and into Python, I feel this one pretty deeply 😅

Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑2d ago

@scribblemacher @petrillic but that gives a bloated package library.

not a linux dev but I feel targeted by this as I am thinking about writing a small simple static website/blog generator for my personal website

@petrillic But do we have the full specifications for how the wheel is made? Maybe they're all kept as a trade secret or with a restrictive license. I should probably reinvent it under a copyleft license just in case.

EndlessMason 2d ago

@JessTheUnstill
Sure this wheel looks fine, but the company that makes it is out of business and we can't rely on this one forever

@petrillic but... What if I can rewrite in rust?

But what if the wheel was an oval? Let me work on that!
🤔

😂

Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑2d ago

@petrillic But part of the wheel is made by code I personally don't feel is Free As In Freedom enough. Even tho it's under the standard open source licenses.

saucerlost 2d ago

@petrillic
I made it out! I didn't reinvent the wheel, I just gave it a new GUI with absolutely no dark mode option

@petrillic ah, yep. Tear off the 200 MB rubbish code inserted by Microsoft, so it's only 5kb

AdeptVeritatis 2d ago

Hi Jigsaw!

Reinventing what? The saw trap?

Seems to be interesting, how it is working. And if there is a way to get the wheel out of the trap without damaging neither the wheel, the trap nor myself.

Should I check the door first and make sure, it stays unlocked? But the door is pretty uninteresting, it is just an unlocked door.

1/2

AdeptVeritatis 2d ago

We reinvent wheels to understand, how wheels are made. To be able to build wheels, which perfectly fit our needs.

And the knowledge from reinventing wheels gives us the power to evaluate and assess a saw trap and find ways around it.
For fun. And to become better.

By the way, I don't care about YOUR challenge. I create my own challenges. They are far more interesting to me and way more complex. But you probably don't understand that.

Adept

AdeptVeritatis 2d ago

Jigsaw creates challenges for others.

I create challenges for myself.

We are not the same.

Peter Bloem 2d ago

@petrillic Incidentally, a lot of people are very used to the way the wheel works at the moment, and have built their workflows around it.

They really like not having to think about the wheel or how it works at all.
