I am kinda a big hater on AI and what danger it represents to the future of humanity

But. as a hobby programmer, I was surprised at how good these llms can answer very technical questions and provide conceptual insight and suggestions about how to glue different pieces of software together and which are the limitations of each one. I know that if AI knows about this stuff it must have been produced by a human. but considering the shitty state of the internet where copycat website are competing to outrank each other with garbage blocks of text that never answer what you are looking for. the honest blog post is instead burried at the 99 page in google search. I can’t see how old school search will win over.

Add to that I have found forums and platforms like stack overflow to be not always very helpful, I have many unanswered questions on stackoverflow piled-up over many years ago. things that llms can answer in details in just seconds without ever being annoyed at me or passing passive aggressive comments.

Maybe you should curb your enthusiasm a bit. have you seen what it take to unlock the bootloader from most manufacturers? you might even need your grandma’s birth certificate before you’re allowed to do so in the future

It’s like the dutch sent someone to England to learn from their literary Shakespearean prowess, but the guy forgot half of what he has learnt on his way back to Holland.

According to a recent pen state uni poll, 80% of Israeli society support the forced removal of Palestinians from Gaza. If we follow the reasoning in this post, the Israeli society is kinda locco ◑﹏◐

they are the most exceptionalist ellististe agreable and push-over nation in the whole earth. don’t forget they are still a proud monarchy.

While your own people can’t afford treatment and die of treatable illnesses, weird choice of fight.

No one has time for family in Japan

When I watch yt videos about people leaving the workplace at 10pm, I wonder how suicide rate isn’t way higher

I don’t think Africa would want its appendicitis back. it has enough problems as it is without the Florida men.

It was obvious to everyone and their cat.

The internet is a massive US PSYOP for which it’s going to fight with all its might to not lose control over.

it will be the year 9999 and we will still be reading about the “Man in Florida”

BTW Free Palestine

my concern is what if after all the hassle the next bank pulls the same act ? and the next one !

they have moved most of the features to the app, the web portal is very bare bone.

very hard to change the bank when alot of payment accounts are linked to it.

they have moved most of the features to the app the web portal is very barebone.

I did, doesn’t change a thing, I have no power to influence what they add into their app

The USA is in panic mode, they thought they could undermine China’s development just like they did with ball-sucking Europe, now there is a need for other nation to come up with their own models, and show the US they should stop underpinning monopolies.

If an instance doesn’t want to grow they turn off new sign-ups, some growth might help instances stay afloat, as not only it might help with more donations, but also signal to the maintainers that there is appreciation for their work.

there is a protocol used by HubZilla called zot, it allows for true nomadic identities. where you can even login to your account from any instance.

I don’t think ActivityPub (Protocol that links all mastodon, Pixelfed, lemmy, peertube instances) developpers have any interests in implementing that, or it isn’t so high in their priorities, also to note that ActivityPub developpment has stagnated since its early releases.

Capitalize, meaning to translate those new sign-ups into monthly active user, buy doing a better job at exposing the potential of the fediverse and easing up the exploration process of interesting content.

I know about Microsoft patent, I am not sure whether MS does license it to other software makers as it is very wide spread from big companies like Autodesk to smaller ones like NirSoft. I think they just made the patent to camp on it and intimidated big players with it, the opensource OnlyOffice do ship the Ribbon and they haven’t faced any trouble for it so far.

Do you know how many forks of mastodon there are and how many died, because they can’t compete against the network effect of the master project ?
