A Mastodon feature request that Misskey already supports.
The feature would be benificial not just for the users, but also save site owners / administators both storage space and technically, bandwidth too.

I want to highlight this thread and associated project, not to put it on blast, but to use it as a lens to see something deeply spooky going on with the rush to auto-patch bugs in GitHub by unsolicited LLM submission.

So they've put together a honey-pot project to trap LLM-bots: the project has increasingly absurd issues filed against it, and they wait for the bots to come along and submit PRs to make the change.
First of all: hilarious. Two thumbs up, love me some good performance art.
But... I am also awestruck and a little horrified. Take a step back and think about what is going on here. Our sibling in software is putting up requests for changes to their code, and random stranger robots are showing up and making those changes. For free. To them.
We've known about the clout-chasing LLMs on GitHub for awhile now, and talked much about how annoying they are when unsolicited. I have not stopped to consider what happens if you try to attract them on purpose.
That's... I need everyone to really stop and stare at that, because it's not nothing. It's not haha times.
That's not technology. That's enchanted-forest-fairy-magic shit. That's whispering your wishes into the hollow of the willow tree, and going back to your cottage to find Rumplestiltskin has a working implementation of drawing a banana using matplotlib.

There is nothing more beautiful than reading well-written, beautifully articulated love and farewell letters. Pure bliss.
“I lost myself in open source... on GitHub. During college at 4 AM when everyone is passed out? Let me get one commit in. During my honeymoon while my wife is still asleep? Yeah, GitHub. It's where I've historically been happiest and wanted to be.”

Git commit messages: do you use plain text or rather consciously markdown?
1. Reasons for plain text: Commit messages are not always viewed with tools which render markdown, and those which render markdown ... render which markdown exactly?
2. Reasons for markdown: most markdown constructs are meanwhile known to developers, so it improves readability even without rendering.

Super Metroid Map Logic Project
If you explore the internet long enough, you find wonders and horrors, but you also find very weird and obsessive things. One such thing is sm-json-data, a project to not only comprehensive catalog all of the tricks in Super Metroid and the situations they apply to and their uses, but to express it in a machine-readable fashion, so randomizers can us

Inform 7
Still December, still in low-impact posting mode. I figured I'd tell you all about interactive fiction authoring system Inform 7, which still feels new in my mind despite coming out 17 years ago.I say "Inform 7" to distinguish it from previous versions, which were a very different system. Inform 6 was a cryptic C-style programming language; Inform 7 s

Got my first http methods routing and returning static strings with #Axum on #RustLang see #GitHib https://github.com/dave42w/daves_dashboard/tree/axum-start
Long time since I've tried writing a #Resfful interface. Is my 2007 O'Reilly Restful Web Services still good practice?
eg
View all users: GET /users
use query to filter eg
View active users: GET /users?state=ActiveCreate a user: POST /users
View a user: GET /users/{userid}
Update user: PUT /users/{userid}
Delete user: DELETE /users/{userid}
