The Raspberry Pi community in a nutshell is wannabe homelabbers that know nothing about computers, but think they are extremely knowledgeable. I hate it.

A great example of that are the various undervolting and underclocking threads on the forums. A bunch of users saying "you don't need to do that, the Pi will underclock itself when it gets too hot", "75°C is fine, it doesn't hurt the board in any way" and "get the official case and that is good enough."

The state of bugtrackers in $current_year is unbelievable. Bugzilla is clunky and sucks; Forgejo/Gitea lacks basic features like a To Do list for MRs and issues (no, pinning a notification is not the way to do it); GitHub UI was a meme even before it was sloppified and turned unusable; the JetBrains one is a bad april fools joke; Gitlab was nice; and don't even mention Jira.
Not touching grass enough, the blog post.

@silverpill Re Versia Unfollow: I think one of the big mistakes of AS2/AP/AV was using generic Activity names for almost everything. The only types that don't have issues is those that embed Objects in them and Add/Remove which explicitly operates on Collections only.

But things like Follow... Follow what? A user, a context URL for following threads? Interpret it however you want, have fun. The distinction between Objects and Activities isn't even necessary when you stop doing this generic approach. Not like Activities aren't "special" Objects anyway.

>Here's a well written post why using LLMs to scan your code for issues is actually a good idea, especially now and in the future.
<Yeah, but LLM code quality sucks though. And you shouldn't use them for fixes anyway, as that introduces more issues.

How is it possible that infosec people are like that. Present them with the most agreeable and factual stance, and they will turn the argument into a "yeah, but actually no!"
