I will be deleting 14 inactive and unused accounts (for >3 years) on my Gitea instance git.mills.io at some point over the next few days. One of those accounts is yours @adi – If you’d like to keep it, I suggest you sign-in 😅

I can’t imagine it’s a static URL either, it surely has to be a unicast address of some sort. Relying on a static URL sounds like an utter disaster to me 🤔 I’d have to read the open spec on this…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Surely it isn’t as bad as this though right? 🤔 I mean reading the Wikipedia page on A-GPS, it sounds to me like it sends enough data to the nearest tower to give you enough data to warm-up the GPS receivership, presumably with GPS coordinates of the tower itself? I can imagine this data payload would include the Date/Time, IEMI and possibly your SIM details and Phone number (why not). It could be worse 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Welcome back! 🤗

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha cya 👋

@mckinley Yeah pipes and shell pipelines are a powerful and easy to use tool 👌

@prologic I know, right? It’s a very elegant solution to the problem using standard command line utilities. It was too hard to find. I went through 3 or 4 Stack Exchange threads from my Web search before I found somebody linking to this answer. People were misunderstanding the question and suggesting all kinds of crazy methods including weird, proprietary, GUI Windows software.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com What was the blocker for using Gitea? 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com You can also file issues in Gitea too 👌

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think you tried to email me with an encrypted GPG email? 📧 Unfortunately the inbox you sent to (managed by Google Workspaces / GMail) isn’t equipped with any GPG or my keys so I had to decrypt by hand, which sux. Are you on Signal?

Alternative message me on Salty IM (https://salty.im) at prologic@mills.io

@mckinley Ahh that is clever indeed 👌 You’re essentiall creating FIFO pipes with >(..) 🧐

Deeply questionable legality aside, do any of you use Copilot? Has it had any material impact on your programming work? Is its use allowed by your employer, or do you only use it for personal projects at home?

No never and I never will!

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net

As an aside, my opinion on GitHub Copilot is clear – it’s quite possibly the largest case of copyright infringement in human history, and in its current incarnation it should not be allowed to continue to operate. As I wrote over a year ago:

I wrote about this three years ag! https://www.prologic.blog/2021/07/11/why-i-no.html

Sounds perfect 👌

Follow-up question:

What do we call it when you get to engage in discussion over topics you find in these “filter bubbles” with a different viewpoint, only to be shot down, overridden, or met with other arguments that support the existing “filter bubble”’s state?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bingo!

Consequently, users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles, resulting in a limited and customized view of the world.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de sounds like a very good place to start! 😊

@Rob@jsreed5.org you forgot to add “said no one”. 🤭

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Where to? 🤔

What’s that thing called when everyone on a social media platform (hardly matters which one) all post the same sort of thing. It all sounds oh so wonderful, or all so dramatic, everyone claps and cheers and thumbs up or whatever. What’s that thing called? There’s a term for it hmmm 🧐

Use your energy 💪

we’ll just have to run another one in early June just for you 😅

@bender LOL well I’ve scheduled it for the end of the month 😆

@dbucklin Nice quote 👌
