Not bad!
I think I'd like to get away from the "un-" prefix to be honest. Otherwise it could be read as "free from the burden of humans" or to that effect.
Thought about "Unique" but that feels like limiting.

OSS is dead.
I vote for a new subsection of software - Libre and Unburdened Software by Humans, or LUSH
(Happy to replace "Unburdened" with another word... It's the only one I could fit for now 😄)
@stux@mstdn.social the best test is to say - "when you say 'AI', what is it you actually mean?"
And then see them panic as their brain searches for an answer they don't have as they're only listening to the snakeoil salesperson
@erchache2000@neopaquita.es I find the "Linux distribution" results interesting
Debian and Ubuntu being the clear winners but I'd love to see a drill down within that as I suspect there's a high chance Debian or Ubuntu is just the base system on which many containers run which are actually Alpine.

@sotolf@polymaths.social Well... dealing with Exchange servers is also absolute hell. I know the pain well!
Even so, they would be working right now!
Fortunately my postfix mail server is just happily holding on to messages... getting timeout and temporary server errors back from 365 when sending to them, but otherwise chugging away quite happily
@sotolf@polymaths.social I was saying to somebody today "there will be some business that has just migrated from on premises and now 365 is out" 🤣
Many clients still experiencing issues, but when I do manage to get some output from the message trace is does just appear things are very slow - an email I sent to them an 1.5 hours ago is only just showing up in their logs.
@jperkin@mastodon.social why document something succinctly in a paragraph or two when you can document it in a full 20 page very wordy short story?!
This week has been a busy week.
I think I've dealt with a "AI coded update broke a piece of software" issue a couple of times every day.
Things are falling apart. To anybody using AI: I don't care how you justify it, you are killing software.
@coreysnipes@hachyderm.io brings back the old [supposed] "facebook employees can't enter facebook premises because facebook is down" memories
Good times, good times.
@davidgerard@circumstances.run @ZILtoid1991@mastodon.gamedev.place "just one more model, bro. one more model and things will work great."
@davidgerard@circumstances.run I'd love the MS one if there's evidence of vibe, but probably best to go Humble Bundle for now
MS, if it comes out in the future was vibe, we'll all remember the time they were out for hours and hours so you can just do it then
@tiffanycli@mastodon.social for us self-email-hosters it's like the day when the teacher forgets to turn up to the lesson
QUICK! Send as many emails as you can before they realize and start blocking us for no reason again!
@stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it @tubsta@bsdlab.au turns out email is super easy if you don't symbiotically join it to a hundred other parasitic services for no good reason

Yep, working great.
A client's software provider has a help article that tells them to download a zip file, extract it, then copy the updated .dll file within it into the program directory to solve a problem.
What my client didn't notice is the help article was for version 29, and they have version 27.
Naturally, the installation is now borked and they overwrote the original .dll file.
An evening of me running the repair tool for this absolutely monstrously bad piece of software then!
Today I learned of #JocalSend
Yes, JocalSend
(maybe "JoecalSend", but the built binary is `jocalsend`)
A terminal #LocalSend client.
As my only option for using LocalSend was to use the flatpak (it's not in Alpine repos, and I can't be bothered to sort out trying to build it from source if it doesn't build with a single try) it's been a bit of a pain as I've had to flatpak override a folder to make it actually save files somewhere sensible.
JocalSend just builds (cargo install jocalsend) and works. And even better, it's terminal based, so much friendlier and lighter to use.

Thank you nebkor!
@rl_dane@polymaths.social I am 3 chapters in to A captain and a madman and it is absolutely brilliant.
My worry is though... Did I start at the peak of fan fiction? Are all others not as good? This may have been a mistake. an enjoyable one, however
@amin@polymaths.social @rl_dane@polymaths.social @robinp@mastodon.social @gumnos@bsd.cafe
Well I actually meant this sort of thing
