Well, it can federate with lemmy instances and there are way, way more lemmy users/communities than there are piefed user/communities. If you want to see the local communities on a piefed instances, it would be at /communities/local

I kind of feel like this was a missed opportunity to have Ponko replace Yachiyo in the OP.
I am traveling right now, so I am going to keep it short. I wasn’t really feeling this episode for a while. Yachiyo going through a rebellious phase (no matter how hilarious or well animated it was) felt a bit out of character to me. However, they brought me back around with the emotional exchange between the two. I am going to miss this show when it is over.

Honestly, despite the obvious lack of budget/production available for this show, they have done a fantastic job with the adaptation. They have changed up the order and pacing to better suit the medium, leading to some great moments.

This episode was probably the best produced episode all season. I have absolutely loved this show. Even having read the manga, this show has elevated the source to such a high level it has been a joy. I will miss this when it ends.

The production on this show has been phenomenal when it has no need to be. It’s been something special all season.

I let my users know how they can access my Jellyfin for the upcoming loss of remote play, but almost all of them opted to just pay the $2/mo to keep using their Playstation client.
Not sure where this falls on lemmy’s roadmap or if there is a github issue for it, but you can turn off notifications in piefed per post or comment. You can also enable notifications for posts/comments that aren’t your own if there is a thread you want to keep tabs on.
wjs018@piefed.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companiesEnglish811·3 months agoThe theory that the lead maintainer had (he is an actual software developer, I just dabble), is that it might be a type of reinforcement learning:
- Get your LLM to create what it thinks are valid bug reports/issues
- Monitor the outcome of those issues (closed immediately, discussion, eventual pull request)
- Use those outcomes to assign how “good” or “bad” that generated issue was
- Use that scoring as a way to feed back into the model to influence it to create more “good” issues
If this is what’s happening, then it’s essentially offloading your LLM’s reinforcement learning scoring to open source maintainers.
wjs018@piefed.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companiesEnglish114·3 months agoReally great piece. We have recently seen many popular lemmy instances struggle under recent scraping waves, and that is hardly the first time its happened. I have some firsthand experience with the second part of this article that talks about AI-generated bug reports/vulnerabilities for open source projects.
I help maintain a python library and got a bug report a couple weeks back of a user getting a type-checking issue and a bit of additional information. It didn’t strictly follow the bug report template we use, but it was well organized enough, so I spent some time digging into it and came up with no way to reproduce this at all. Thankfully, the lead maintainer was able to spot the report for what it was and just closed it and saved me from further efforts to diagnose the issue (after an hour or two were burned already).

I still use my lemmy account to moderate some lemmy communities, but I am appreciating using piefed as my threadiverse consumption platform more and more.
You have clearly never driven on 93 through Boston where the person you replied to said they are from (aka the Big Dig). It is basically an entire highway that is underneath the city. There are many on and off ramps, lanes suddenly become exit only, complex multi-lane exits that branch…it’s intimidating. As somebody that has lived in the Boston area for 15 years now, I still mess things up.

It’s years since I last used PhysicsForums, but found it immensely useful in the old days while going through my undergrad physics degree (it was less useful for PhD courses). I am not morally opposed to providing AI attempts at an answer in threads where nobody else chimes in. However, using real accounts that belong to other users is wildly over the line. I was surprised to see this wasn’t really called out in the official response thread by the existing users as that is the part of all this that is the most egregious to me.
wjs018@piefed.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.English19·4 months agoIIRC, piefed’s private votes are disabled for “trusted” instances. You can see which instances are trusted here.
Also, this is neither here nor there, but I have been trying out piefed lately and it’s pretty cool. Thanks to the devs over there, the anime community should be a lot more compatible with piefed going forward thanks to squashing a couple bugs I found from our use cases. Specifically, piefed users should now enjoy:
- Images on episode discussion threads don’t disappear when I edit in a screenshot submitted by a user (relevant issue)
- Clips submitted to the community will no longer break the UI in Tile or Wide Tile view (relevant issue)
Excellent use of post flair!
