I'm in a very similar place with AI and Big Tech. I restrict my LLM use to ZdotAi. It seems much more sustainable and ethical in general. I'm consistently impressed with it's performance too.
The big tech hooks are in deep for many, but I refuse to abandon hope
it worked.
it worked thus far. I have not fully reviewed everything but I already know this ducktape will fall off eventually just wait for the next update😅
I had an intense ricing obsession way back when, and I have sadly sold my colorscheme soul to the solarized math wizards. You now have me exceptionally curious about a mathematically superior semitransparentj-specific solarized theme 🤔
I love dbzer0! What particulars did you find weird? I strongly relate with your 'nothing disagreeable and like-minded fit' take.
I completely forgot Mlem but it's been on the backlogs for a min. Sad to hear your FF struggles. I did have some extension struggles with lemmy so I fully concur your frustrations.
I greatly admire the disengage policy and see it as an authentic tool of liberation and community harmony. I can only applaud seeing it's influence grow and branch out. I fully respect your original implementation of the policy as well. May I inquire what lead you to your adherence to it? Have you simply always had something similar and has it changed much since your initial conviction toward it?
I code on an rooted Galaxy Tab A9+ in Termux
why do you hate yourself? j/k apparently tablets are packing serious heat now. We really overspec everything now and my old ass will never get use to it...
least likely to fold in a month when the group running it realize that spam/bots/costs need to be taken into consideration.
Well put. Fediverse rarely lacks in enthusiasm, but a zoomed-out macro perspective seems to often get drowned out by the hype and ambitions in general.
+1 for the phone exclusion. I'm trying to get better about it, but the habitual aspect is tough to shake.
Instance options are a real treat, but I advise most to let their preferred options arise naturally. Eventually something will call you toward it, and the motivation will manifest itself. One of those things thats closer to a 'let the universe come to you' kinda things imho
Best of luck
The fewer identifiers the better. I did not know reddthat had this feat, but am genuinely glad to hear it. Good ol' days indeed—we really didn't know how good we had it. Perhaps we are still in the tail-end of the good ol' days
Browser solidarity! C reigns supreme, but don't make me do pointer arithmetic. I'd rather do pointless long-division lol
What's the preferred ide for C these days? I'm the 'compile and run inside nvim instance' kind of goober
Concerning the piefed avoidance, would you be interested in a fork that removed toxicity amongst other direct hardcoded stuffs? All the joys of the tech without any of the previous baggage, yeah?
I'm also curious of this, but I also don't fully understand what everyone is assuming is going to happen next? I don't like this but why is everyone saying run now?
You mean it's been a class war this whole time? 0.o
Rhetoric aside, it is all really quite painful to take in. The contradictions are even more in plain sight than they've ever been before. Hard to believe anyone can ignore the flames erupting on all sides. luckily there's nothing more dangerous than a cornered jackal. The soul of the masses seem to be more and more in unison and sync. Do you believe the people can organize and act? I have doubts, but also aren't we almost beyond any influence of skepticism in this era of desperation?
Great post. I have been wondering for awhile how those of us who understand the importance of all this can best organize and ensure growth towards a movement. What reliable orgs are honestly at the front, helping get the word out about these interconnected issues?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
