Whether you're expecting to have contributors that all have GitHub accounts already. And whether you expect to use the network-effects (follows/stars/activity feed) to have your project be more discoverable.

I mean, they have every right to adopt that policy... but because of the policy, I can't see myself CHOOSING to use Codeberg.

I don’t currently use LLMs for any significant part of my work but I’m not willing to put myself in a position where I might someday have to prove that something WASN'T written with an LLM because someone is making spurious accusations to troll or "DoS" a project.

It's unlikely to happen, but there are plenty of alternatives where this isn't a concern at all. Why open yourself or your projects to this?

You define "spiritually" differently (more narrow, for one) than the person you're replying to.

Is there some giant rss feed following community I’m missing?

Yes

Not sure how you define "first class" but:

Do you support WhatsApp, Messenger and Signal?

Yes we do! These also work with push notifications via MicroG or Google Play Services to ensure you get instant updates!

Do you support X app?

In general, we support almost all apps that work on Android, only really having difficulty with banking apps or digital id apps (due to Google Play Integrity Check). We ship with either Aurora store or Google Play Store to have full access to the apps on the Google Play Store

sjs382 — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 21:32:52 +0000

I bought a trashcan Mac Pro on a whim last week ($120 in eBay!) and did some reading about them—it turns out people recently started using the GPUs to run models @ 20-30 tok/s.

I'm excited to get my mitts on it on Friday when it finally arrives.

Here's some of the resources I came across if you're interested in reading.

I use these USB-C rechargeable batteries in my travel kit, too. I love the flexibility of being able to pickup some AA/AAAs, charge the ones that just died, or swap in the 2 spares I travel with.

Hah! I often keep a few 1-3 week-old sports podcasts around as a sleep aid.

I find that outdated previews/predictions of events that have already happened is the perfect thing to get me to doze off.

I think the 2 weeks of heavy speculation about where Giannis Antetokounmpo will be traded to has me set for another month.

> You almost always need wrapper elements to group elements you want to align together for presentation purposes only (e.g. "a vertically centered row containing one paragraph next to two vertically stacked images"), so there often aren't semantic HTML tags that would make sense.

I'd argue that a lot of times those groupings are meaningful.

New comment by sjs382 in "'Point of no return': New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level"

sjs382 — Tue, 05 May 2026 15:41:01 +0000

When you look at who the rest of Louisiana voted for, they don't even want to preserve New Orleans. They're literally terrified of it and were elected on the promise to subjugate it.

What they really want to preserve is stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/live/mHljI5JbnTM?si=dReL9sZKiqtNlvpr...

The energy, the community, the corruption, the vibrance, the hopelessness, the resilience, the city that care forgot. You can't relocate New Orleans.

I know it's "gatekeeping" but it's so difficult to talk about with those who haven't had their every day consumed by it.

sjs382 — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 19:02:22 +0000

AI gets better with more resources. Even if you have access to the software/models, those with more money to throw at better hardware (and the cost associated with running it) will be better positioned.

I wish we had a good way to solve for that.
