I see you publishing improvements to fedidb but i doesn’t seem to me the source code is being update. Are you publishing these changes as open source?
Also misskey is reporting incorrect numbers. i reported it here. tbh it makes it kinda harder to trust the reliability of fedidb.
Also any reason why it shows a graph of active users for software like lemmy but not for piefed?
Thanks for working on this!
but who asked for this? doesn’t every software have their own preferred place for suggestions? why do we need to centralize this?
I needed this for Pixelfed and Loops, and figured that the existing auth system in FediDB would be easier and more frictionless for people to use their existing fediverse accounts, rather than make new accounts for this. The fact any other project can also use it is another benefit.
Seems reasonable to offer projects a way to opt out of this.
I thought we were all about opting in to things?
This blog post reads like AI slop.
Dansup does rely on LLMs, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
@taco_shale032@lemmy.ml @jonathan@piefed.social provide us proof for your maga tactics, don't just shout fake news
My apologies, this is what I gathered from other users in combination with Pixelfed (or loops?) allowing LLM contributions at some point. I should’ve done some research to confirm before assuming it was true.Now that I am doing some research about it, could someone explain what this commit is about? Skill markdown files are for LLMs.
From the blog:
Needing so this many commits to undo the LLM slop means the developer does not have a clear mental model of what the earlier commits consist of.
That’s a big leap in logic without supporting evidence. The author goes on to question dansup’s competence as a developer based on that, which is the dumbest metric you could have. You can measure devs by their output: quality, speed, correctness, beauty of their algorithms, success of their software (for many different ways of measuring success), etc.
Back to LLM usage: it’s entirely possible he was dabbling in their use and this reaction led him to reevaluate his stance. I remember many public reactions specifically targeted at instructing him on why LLM usage is bad, with a respectful tone. It’s entirely likely he had a change of heart and sought to purge LLM presence from the project. Lots of people make mistakes, learn from them, and take steps to change. And that’s something to be praised, not vilified.
The existence of the skills doesn’t necessarily mean the app is vibe coded or slop. We have to judge code quality and UX to make that determination.
Also, he removed those files 3 days later according to this commit. Maybe he only uses them locally and they got added to the repo by mistake? It would at least imply that he doesn’t want everyone else to use AI, though why is anybody’s guess.
I’m aware it was removed, that’s why I said “at some point”. I never claimed that the app is vibe coded or slop, I simply pointed out that dansup relies on LLMs which could explain why the article reads like AI slop.
Well you asked what the commit was about, that’s what I wanted to answer.
So this seems to have no sync to the official repo? So users might bring suggestions there and the Mastodon devs never see them because they are working in their own Github?
This is on our todo list!
