I don't know if anyone has done this before, but I'm incorporating total introspection and control of FRUTE VM through an MCP socket so that an LLM can control and debug it. It grants structured access to all onscreen windows and ui widgets, the Scheme REPL, and can inject mouse movement, drags and clicks, as well as keystrokes. it can snapshot the screen.

the window construction already lets you add semantics to the widgets and windows. the mcp can read it. the llm doesn't have to scrape anything.

When people think Flock, they think cameras...

It's more than that. It's an entire surveillance ecosystem that listens, watches, and tracks you, built quietly in your neighborhood without consent, under the banner of 'safety.' Welcome to the panopticon.

The problem with working on a project with a small group of people, whether it's an indie game, independent film, small business etc is that you will almost always have one person who will eventually act like it's their project, even if they didn't start it. They will slowly develop the "my way or the highway" attitude and if they serve an important role, it's hard not to say no to them because they can just leave at anytime.

It can even get more extreme in some cases. For example, that Oddity game that started off as the fanmade Mother 4 had a developer leaked various builds of the game out of spite. It's just so easy to sabotage small projects like this.

That's why you really need to know who you are working with. As far as I can tell and at least here in the United States, it's 100% legal to hire on an invite-only basis. I highly recommend only working with people you know personally or mutually if you want to start on some project. There are a lot of narcissists out there who will sabotage anything you make to make it theirs.

Nextcloud is a great gateway drug to self hosting. You set it up thinking it's just a file server, but then you add Talk, and Recipes, and News, etc. And a whole new world opens up. But then after a week or two you start noticing all those add-on apps aren't very feature rich. You do a little web searching see if you can do anything, and you see all these other RSS reader apps that are way more featureful. But you think to yourself "I don't know anything about running an RSS reader". But then you think to yourself "it can't be any harder than setting up nextcloud". And before you know it you have a full arr stack feeding jellyfin. I've seen it 1,000 times. ...well, maybe more like 100 times — okay, it was one time. It was me, alright, that's how I started my homelab. You got me.

Interesting that the Empire tries to enforce an international law that it itself refuses to sign on to: UNCLOS

Neither Iran or the United States have ratified, so it’s absolutely stupid to say that what was ratified by other countries somehow applies to either of them.

If Poast didn't have double standards they would have no standards at all.

Looks like Texas wants Discord to have mandatory age verification on all communities, not just the NSFW ones.

@PurpCat @rlier23 @Xeraser Literally the worst of the worst. Zero personality outside of politispazzing, e-drama, and gooning. Also unable to let go of 2018.
