lol bro. You don't have to like the rich class to have basic human empathy for other people

Don't forget countries. A few, I don't have a list, but including .ai, .pn, are in full control of their domains and do it all on their own infra.

You could probably find some ways to get a few of em but i don't know.
You shouldn't really need more than one or two accounts tho. Talking from kbin :)

Strikes make me happy,

Thank you ernest... and fastly... and welcome aboard Piotr!

OSPs make me so happy :)

i think the shitcoin trend and NFT shit is over, but crypto as a technology and cryptocurrency certainly isn't. I don't see BTC, ETH, XMR dying aaanytime soon, especially the former and the latter - they're gold standard on the net already. Overengineered crypto like ETH seems to be less popular now.

That's not a joke -- that's exactly how a lot of the smaller open-source LLMs are trained. Orca (paper) is trained between GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-turbo

Mostly I just hate the dialogue that people think WE are akin to a language model, where prompts go in and actions come out... it's a gross misrepresentation of the human brain, and we don't even know much of how it works, but we do know we don't spit outputs based solely on inputs.

what about cross-posting content from Lemmy/kbin to Reddit? Showing that, not only in theory, but in practice, you can switch?

Was the infant alright? AHT is no joke

The stuff listed in OP doesn't really seem like much concern. "What you put on the internet is there forever!" is completely true, and things like this should only make it more concrete that you can't rely on your service provider to delete information somebody else already archived.
With that being said, default privacy settings - at least on Kbin - seem pretty bad.

*Sorta. ICANN has a special relationship with ccTLDs. Registries of gtlds can't put an A record at the root tld.

This is great, and true too, but I hate google man. Gonna wait to see when translation tools like this become FOSS. I think AI might get us there. In the meantime, LibreTranslate does good for translation and Tesseract works for OCR.

FHE solves that through and through, as has been documented widely, but that's overengineering when you could just use plain ZKP.
Zero-knowledge voting is here and has been for a while now.

You probably saw some (mostly fraudulent) ads. Dread is where most of Tor's public content can be found; but, yeah, crypto (specifically Bitcoin and Monero) are the standards there.

I thought votes didn't federate yet anyways... but, yes, it is possible, and i can come up off the top of my head with three or four potential implementations.

I see monero pretty widely adopted! But not near Bitcoin and even BCH might have a little more traction.

I've kinda seen monero as a truly peer-to-peer currency because most central exchanges don't ever want to touch it :)

hint: nothing is stopping you

I've seen the opposite. A few days into the blackout, I saw someone post this meme about dictatorships where they (literally) put a picture of Spez right next to Tiananmen Square

YouTube sent a cease and desist to TheFrenchGhosty, the project manager of Invidious.

However, he doesn't seem to care, because he doesn't see any legal merit in the letter.

what's the slang term? "scissas?"

I don't think you can do recurring donations but just set a reminder if that's your thing

awesome, thanks!

Kbin does have tags for the language of posts, and they are accurately represented in these German posts, but I can't find a way to filter them without just blocking the server!

As a quick fix, a user script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Kbin: delete articles in other languages
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Auto-delete posts in languages you do not speak.
// @author       luphoria (https://kbin.social/u/trent)
// @match        https://kbin.social/
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=kbin.social
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
  'use strict';
  const allowedLangs = ["en", "es"]; // Edit this to all of the languages you can speak / want to see in your feed

  let deleteUnwantedPosts = () => {
    const postTags = document.getElementsByClassName("kbin-bg");

    for (let i = 0; i < postTags.length; i++) {
      let postTag = postTags[i];
      if (postTag && postTag.textContent && postTag.textContent !== "OC" && !allowedLangs.includes(postTag.textContent)) { // OC tags are the only elements (i know of) with the same class.
        // Delete element's parent's parent's parent
        if (postTag.parentElement.children[0].textContent) {
          console.log(`Removing post labeled \`${postTag.textContent}\`: "${postTag.parentElement.children[0].textContent}"`);
          postTag.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.remove();
        }
      }
    }
  }
  deleteUnwantedPosts(); // on load

  // for continuous feeds
  let observeDOMChanges = () => {
    const observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutationsList) {
      deleteUnwantedPosts();
    });
    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
  }
  observeDOMChanges();
})();

hmm

  • is it showing a red [1] in the extension list (to signify that it's running) on the homepage?
  • what device & window size are you using?

glad you got it working for you (and I should probably update it to wildcard kbin.social, with that in mind)! I think your observation is right on the mark because my homepage is all, or /

Microsoft is surprisingly pro-FOSS - probably more than any of the others in "big tech." It's the same reason MS isn't in the FAANG acronym. They've consistently forwarded and contributed to the FOSS community over the past several years. They have massive stakes in the linux foundation, which is either conspiracy or just a shift in attitude (i haven't decided myself yet). For a more concrete example, with LLMs, Microsoft (despite basically owning OpenAI) is contributing to free and open-source language model development, with Orca and TBAAYN, as well as publishing free and open-source tooling for LLM, such as the guidance repository.

I'm also disappointed that we now have AI browsers, which is scary and not a good direction to go in.

Out of pure curiosity, why do you say this? In context of something like ChatGPT, it makes sense, but what do you think about stuff like local LLMs as assistants and embedded in browser infra?

I didn't check and didn't make one, but there certainly should be I agree. Take this as a hotfix

It appears some of my comments were brought back from the edidead by Reddit. Running the script again, but be careful

I could be wrong! But I believe that's what the microblog section is for. It's pretty dang seamless!

I like the microblogs for things that don't exactly warrant a post. The Mastodon integration is neat, but I doubt I'll really use it since I never used Mastodon before.

Pretty sure you just described the Mastodon integration! 😅

You're probably fine, but I recommend just getting a free VPN to keep your ISP at bay. I don't like Proton, but they do have a free VPN. Google around and you can find some others too, if that one is too slow

Radical political ideologists love the Fediverse and always have, be it anarchosocialists or confederates. Not sure why. I just want shitposts and tech stuff.
