I love the idea of an instance for a whole metro area, then each neighborhood could have it’s own community.

That’s great! I have been using ClearURLs with varied success. Nice to see it built in .

Using a camera on public property in the EU is broadly very legal.

I love the notion that even Twitter users had too much empathy and the platform wasn’t getting Nazified fast enough on it’s own so they had to program a robot to go around and spread propaganda.

Not sure if you are looking for blogs but I this guy is a good writer: https://rys.io/en/index.html

Oh yeah absolutely, but I also think the goal of the AI companies is not to actually create a functioning AI that could “do a job 20% as good as a human, but 90% cheaper”, but to sell fancy software, whether it works or not, and leave the smaller companies holding the bag after they lay off their workforce.

Right? It actually makes me feel insane that the topic of “humans working less” is never in the selling points of these products.

Honestly I suspect that rather than some nefarious capitalist plot to enslave humanity, it is just more evidence that the software can’t actually do what the people selling it to big corporations claim it can do.

This bit at the end, wow:

Gartner still expects that by 2028 about 15 percent of daily work decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents, up from 0 percent last year.

Agentic AI is wrong 70% of the time, but even assuming a human employee is barely correct most of the time and wrong 49% of the time, is it really still more efficient to replace them?

For YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it’s important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don’t feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.

That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.

twas a joke, but that’s a nice feature!

Storing upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.

Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times? I want to join it.

This is literally literally a drama article

It’s annoying to be treated that way isn’t it?

Please don’t sealion me.

That’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.

Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”

EDIT: New rule?

I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.

You’ve got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those “quirky, weird” websites people nostalgize over weren’t seeking clout, they were seeking connection.

I think it’s healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that “followers” are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making “art” with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then… that’s just a job, imo.

Big fan of low tech magazine!

Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.

Also don’t overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.
