@timbray @elsua54 Your question "So why are you here?" seems ok to ask, at the same time as obvious to answer:

Something more than pictures, 0-replies or 1-way replies
To no matter what
To people, Mastodon included (developers + people are averse to communicating with actual people deeply, are loners)

So people can see my effort / join

Many reasons (as well as the good software - maybe you missed the point that EVERYWHERE MISSES / AVOIDS THE POINTS ABOVE?)

      Just a quick rant: I prefer to support small businesses, but it bugs me when a companyʻs “web site” is just an or page. I understand that many folks may not have the time nor talent to put together a simple site, but by not doing so these small businesses are demanding that every potential customer turn over data to Zuckerberg - and to every broker and marketer that he sells our data to. So please folks, donʻt force us potential customers to avoid your biz.

          Meta Al data center caught infecting town water supply with deadly bacteria

          Frank Strong, engineering and water resource division manager at the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities, said the bacterium was first detected during routine wastewater testing.

          He added that it was an unusual pathogen to find in any wastewater, including discharge from a data center.

          In Cheyenne, Wyoming, officials are cutting off wastewater-dumping access for data centers connected to the city’s water system.

          Meta Al data center caught
infecting town water supply
with deadly bacteria

According to Cowboy State Daily, the decision
follows an investigation into Meta-affiliated Goat
Systems LLC, whose discharge allegedly sent
wastewater containing the rare and potentially
deadly bacterium Cupriavidus gilardii into

local pipes.

The company was found in “significant
noncompliance” with Cheyenne’s industrial
waste rules.

                      Much of AI "productivity gains" come from managers implicitly trusting an LLM to do a good job, and suspending the onerous micromanagement that humans employees get subjected to.

                      You can do that without paying Anthropic a single penny. It just requires letting the experts you hired do their jobs.
