Amazing keynote from @ben at last week's #fediforum, reminding us all that what we are building here is critical for the world at this moment in time, and also some good advice on how to solve the right problems […]

finally, some Good Code

crates.io/crates/fibon...

Screenshot of the fibonacci-numbers README, which reads:

First install the version of this crate corresponding to the Fibonacci number you want to use:

cargo add fibonacci-numbers@186 --rename fib186

Then you can use the VALUE constant to get its value:

assert_eq!(fib186::VALUE, 332825110087067562321196029789634457848);

Screenshot of the dependency list, which is fibonacci-numbers at versions 184 and 185.

I understand your concerns about AI slop. That's why I'm devoting myself to creating handcrafted, authentic slop just like they used to

I like the idea of having "fun" things that are part of (at least some of) the Fediverse.

Is anyone using a desktop app that combines ATProto + fedi feeds? (Openvibe looks like the way on mobile, but I am trying not to look at the feeds on my phone.)
