I've found it primarily useless to harmful in my software development, making the work debugging poorly-structured code the major place that time is spent. What sort of software and language do you use it for?

Ease of cross-compiling is really one of my favorite things about Rust. It can run anywhere with little coaxing needed.
You don't even need to know how to use it very well, in my experience.
the main bottleneck with Lemmy seems to be the database performance, so with both projects depending on PostgreSQL
Postgres being a bottleneck is a first for me. Not saying it's not possible, just... It's postgres. Wondering if it's more an issue with ORM, etc.
using Python
Full disclosure: I like Python a lot and have written a lot of it.
That said, if not for my recent work experiences, I would be absolutely horrified at the idea of using Python for such a project. Between the type system and being interpreted, the performance and runtime issues are pretty painful. That and the historical greater dependence on external application servers really makes Python-based services something that really sucks to administer.
However, as I noted, I have also recently seen Python performing far faster than it has any right to with highly-optimized use of multi-processing and offloading the server stuff to Go.
I think I'm going to have to take a look at Piefed source this weekend.
Svalboard. Not am EMACS user (it's a fine editor/Lisp interpreter) but, even nice mechkb isn't necessarily going to prevent RSI or exacerbation of existing conditions. Best to change to a text-entry device that is designed with humans in mind.
Fedora Atomic has been working nicely on my personal laptop. Anything funky, I tend to run in a VM w/ libvirt (KVM/QEMU) or a container. Makes it quicker to fix if I break something.
It scares me to think what people are doing to themselves by relying on this, especially if they're novices.
Same here. There's a lot of denial going on but, LLMs are not good for anything that requires factual information. They likely will never be on account of just being statistical models for language. Summarizing long text where correctness isn't an issue is really one of the only places where I still think that they are good.
Search? Not if you want anything factual with citations.
Code? Fuck no. They constantly produce code of poor quality that may depend on non-existent libraries or functionality. More time it's spent debugging than writing code and it leaves the dev with a poor understanding of what the code actually does and ways to optimize/extend/etc.
Generating literary smut? Well, it's not going to do as good of a job as a person who can create something completely novel but can be passable without likely harm to authors (I'd classify it as a tier below erotic fan fiction).
Breadlines?... Have you been paying attention to the actions of the last decades? They even arrest church staff for feeding homeless people.
No. They just want people to die in the gutter.
Lawmakers are calling on the Social Security Administration chief to resign after internal emails revealed that the administration shut Maine off from the late-age insurance program in retaliation for publicly defying the MAGA agenda.
This really seems like it should be more "20-years in prison gen pop, without possibility of early release" territory than "resign and continue life as normal after likely causing unnecessary deaths for revenge".
