Anthropic is gonna fund themselves by shorting stocks and then announcing their AI now does something that company does.

I'm using a x1 carbon from 4 years ago and it's great, super happy with it and would buy another if I broke it. I ran mint on it for years and now cachy, it's solid

"We’re going to try to make something really great, bro, and make something for the real X-Files fans and maybe find some new ones.”

Not everything needs a reboot bro.

They do seem to be good at making a mess of things.

You didn't answer the question that we all have - do the candies actually taste like the Gros Michel?

That doesn't seem to be true? Their site says you can use another passport as verification if renewing - https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport/renew or if applying you need a little more https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-adult-passport/what-documents-you-need-to-apply

I'm about to have to go through this now. I'm a dual citizen but I've never lived over there, and have a trip planned to visit family later this year. I let my British passport expire over 10 years ago because I never use it.

More details here too https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-passport-supporting-documents-group-3/applying-for-a-passport-from-outside-the-uk-supporting-documents-group-3-accessible The supporting docs in table A are definitely doable without living in the UK, if you even need to use that table. Their site is unclear and contradictory unfortunately between that last link and the earlier ones

I pinged you in matrix, but feel free to poke me if you've got any technical questions! Seeing all the NSFW content start to show up everywhere else really shows the need for a dedicated instance IMHO.

I'm definitely intrigued. Most of the early demo reviews hated on it for being text heavy instead of voice actors, so I'm keen to see some updated reviews.

There's no room for nuance on the internet anymore. AI == Bad

Yes, I use it all day at work for troubleshooting unfamiliar code in a giant monorepo, and writing terraform / k8s files. Claude code is easily a 20x time multiplier for investigating things I'm not fluent in, and probably 3x for writing new stuff.

Note that I'm not vibe coding. Everything is peer reviewed and I understand what it's all doing. Many people seem to assume if you use an AI then you're just vibe coding, that isn't the case.

 

With the recent willingness of the US Government to pressure its tech agencies into revealing user data without a proper judicial warrant, we've decided it's overdue for us migrate away from Cloudflare.

We'll be transitioning our sites over to https://deflect.ca/ over the next week or so, starting with pixelfed first before doing lemmy and piefed.

I hope to be able to do this without any noticeable downtime, but it is a major config change that will require some backend changes as well. I'll make an announcement before/after and you can always check https://status.fedecan.ca/

Update Feb 16: pixelfed has been migrated to deflect

Update Feb 20: I'm working with deflect on improving performance before migrating lemmy / piefed over. Currently pixelfed load times aren't great due to traffic often hitting edge nodes way out in Europe

 
 

We were still on 0.19.13 so I've bumped us up to 0.19.15

Tldr: the idea of it being used to attack the UN is total fear mongering. They were probably just sending spam
