Is there a particularly good kind of #Monitor you can get to work with #Linux that is good for art, #photography and graphics and seeing screen colours correctly?

I use Mint.

There's a ladybug following me everywhere since yesterday.

She roamed near me as I did a video call from my child's room yesterday morning.

Today she flew on my computer monitor and wandered around for a bit. Then I went to shower and she followed me to the bathroom, planting itself on the window. She's very cute.

Do you have any ladybug care tips? How can I help her with food and water?

(My mom says it's still too cold to bring her outside... my 5-year-old is smitten too) 🐞

I take pictures with my Nothing Phone 2 (a) in HDR.

When I look at those images in my Gallery, they look great, but when I upload them to any social media, they look dull.

Instagram enables #HDR image upload for high-end phones only.

Why is it difficult for all social media apps to enable HDR uploads for every phone?

Question for #LLM haters:

So I don’t really want to hate on LLMs or generative AI in this post, but I am curious about alternatives to LLMs for code generation. What I particularly have in mind is how LLMs are pretty good at calling up code examples and fitting them into your code base.

Has anyone tried just creating a very large database with millions of code examples or code snippets, perhaps tagged with keywords pertaining to what the code does, and letting people search code by tag and automatically paste it into your file? If StackOverflow has been mined for LLM training data, can’t we just take that StackOverflow training data and parse-out the code snippets and generate such a database?

If LLMs coding tools like #Cursor, #Claude, #Copilot, Cody, etc. are basically doing that using statistical algorithms, couldn’t we do the same thing with ordinary symbolic computation and a clever little editor plug-in with good UI/UX design for the copy-pasting?

Does anyone know if such tools/databases already exist?

I’ll tag @screwlisp and @kentpitman on this one because I am especially curious about what you think about it.

#gotosocial was really nice and easy to setup - but does not have a web client built-in. I would prefer that.

can anyone recommend a lightweight #ActivityPub server+client, will probably be max 5-10 users?

snac2 looks good, but i think i might have to fiddle with the stylesheet quite a bit..

is misskey good?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/116154878377387571

I think we should limit starter kit creation to accounts that are older than 90 days, segment max # of kits per user based on follower count, and limit the # of accounts they can add to each kit based on their follower count.

I could be wrong, and want your feedback on these kit rate limits please!
