"AI" (large language models) doesn't have understanding and this is trivially verifiable by asking it about something niche. It will not have sufficient data to autocomplete what you're asking it and no amount of cajoling will get it closer to a real solution, instead it will spin forever spitting out wrong solutions that are in its training set (because humans have posted them sometimes) For example. In qbasic you have subs, and functions. Subs do not return a value. Functions do. If you ask an LLM how to call a function in qbasic while discarding the return value the "AI" will never give you the right answer. It will cycle through answers for related basic dialects where you can do it, but it will never say "you can do that in other flavors but not qbasic specifically" no matter how many times you point out its wrong Why will it never do that? Because the statistically likely answer for "how do I X" is "you do Y", not "you absolutely cannot do that" LLMs have zero understanding

Keep seeing comments from people along the lines of trying to get "how Mastodon works" and my advice is just relax. Mistakes are cool and normal! Also loud shouty people may come at you for doing things "wrong" but their rules are not necessarily yours and that's ok. It's hard to go really wrong if you're not a terrible person. Folks get very protective of their communities. Things will settle. Ask for advice freely but don't assume the first answer is the only one. Breathe. You're OK here.

Putting software in containers is cruel and unnatural. Programs should be allowed to roam and graze freely on computer systems. Forcibly isolating and constraining them will lead only undue suffering. Use of technologies such as Docker in systems administration must be ended immediately, there is no ethical justification for inflicting trauma like this in an enlightened society. In this "free range software manifesto" I will -
