I mean, I suppose so. I can imagine a theoretical AI that isn’t trained on stolen work, isn’t insanely energy intensive, isn’t controlled by the ownership class, and doesn’t hallucinate wildly. But that’s so far away from what AI is in our current context, drawing that distinction feels like losing the forest for the trees, at this point in time.

Quite a lot of people, especially here on the Fediverse. You’d be wise to care too - AI is no friend to the working class.

Neat, thanks!

I didn’t either! ActivityPub came out in 2018, what was Fediverse before ActivityPub?

Thank you!

Hey, please don’t use ableist slurs. It’s easy to criticize conservatives without doing so.

Loops!

Is it possible? Yes.

Is it particularly likely that hosting a Jellyfin server would attract unwanted attention? I’d say probably not, unless you’re doing something else that might draw scrutiny.

The solutions look a lot different for the real loneliness epidemic than a “male loneliness epidemic”. You fix the first by creating more walkable cities, more third places you can be without needing to spend money, and giving people the time and money they need to go out, do things, and socialize.

The proposed solutions for the “male loneliness epidemic” seem to be a lot more like shitty men saying “women need to lower their standards and be okay with being my therapist/mom/girlfriend, while I change nothing about myself”

Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.

I work in commercial and institutional building energy efficiency. I notice myself paying way more attention to the infrastructure that normally fades into the background. Stuff like “I wonder how big the transformer for this building is?” or “Ooh, that’s a hefty cooling tower, I wonder how much chilled water they use?”

Living in a Christian nationalist surveillance state sure is fun! 🙃

As I’ve begun moving my stuff away from Proton, I’ve adopted Tuta for email and Addy.io for aliases. It feels better to keep things in separate buckets.

If I have the time and space, oil paint. It can be finicky, but you also have so much control over the medium

.world and .ml like to beef over their politics (generally liberal vs more leftist/Marxist)

Aside from that, people are generally pretty kind and won’t bash you for having left-of-center politics. If you’re a conservative, though, I’d expect downvotes. There just aren’t very many around on Lemmy. (And I personally think things are better that way.)

Ding ding! After the Proton fiasco, I got a domain and have started moving my accounts to that email, which connects to Tuta

Continued to support Democrats after they fucked him in the 2016 primary, I’m guessing?

I don’t know, I still like him

Less than Google is, for now. But still bad enough for me to be switching to Tuta
