Being poor and idolizing the rich.

No apollo app no reddit. I agree the UI/UX is problematic but the native reddit ad filled app is way worse. Lemmy both has lots of room to still improve the experience but its build well enough already to actually function and people to be here.

Its also open source, decentralized, possible to self host. Aka owned by the people rather then corpos. All those things for the new homepage of the internet? I can only get so errect.

Pros: millions of users can interact with your instance

Cons: This is a super blatant attempt to consume all data. They have been doing this for years. “Log in with facebook” They see the value of the fediverse and aim to become the mainstream place for new accounts. Those users can then interact with any kind off community they want. Meta is not responsible for content on other instances. But they are harvesting all of it trough millions of clueless spies.

Lets see.. do i want to look normal but talk like i have an iq of 4.

Or do i want a super athletic cool alien body that we only associate with negativity because of the personality linked to it?

Just talk and dress better then his usual look and this is an absolute win.

So who maintains these alternatives? A centralized server?

WHAT? A nuanced personal opinion??? not fitting within either political extremes?? This is Outrageous!!! Not on my internet! /s

In April 2019, a Twitter post by Pyle from 2017 resurfaced regarding the pro-life rally March For Life. According to some reporters, Pyle's tweet expressed support for, or defended, March For Life. The tweet caused many fans to turn against Strange Planet and its creator, in a controversy described by at least one outlet as an example of the Milkshake Duck phenomenon.[23][24][25]

Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife "have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing." He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were "troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it."[25][26][27]

In 2022, he posted to social media in support of Bernie Sanders' tweet in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which called the decision "an outrage" and supported codifying Roe into law.[28]

I am very pro abortion btw, my non relgious my best friend once described it as “a delicate matter balancing the autonomy of people over their own bodies versus the potential intentional death of a developing life forms. “

I dont know where all the blood splatter just came from but its highly susceptible to mold growing over it.

All blood splatter tiles turn into mold tiles.

They still move following Conway’s way of life.

Ps: this is a permanent effect. All future blood splatter will immediately do the same.

Isnt he supposedly one of the of the original creators? Doesnt seem like the person to purposely make a fallguy… unless hes dumb and corpos thought him to be a liability because he moderated the jail bait sub… which the more i think of it.. the workers that tend to judgd offensive content on Facebook/apple/google… if they used to be normal they arent be anymore.

The blown up white pieces have been rotting. A strange mold starts appearing on the the dead white queen. A moldy tile will spread to one directly adjacent tile every 24hours, unless stopped.

I never thought a day would come where i would root for the zuckerman but here we are.

Meta is a danger to society but at least there is a brain behind it.

As an autist, I have many challenges involving the mental filtration of information. Too much clutter or non-relevant items and I become practically blind. The internet has largely become unusable to me. AdBlock means I can still use it all.

TV-style sudden/obnoxious ads are a sensory hell that feels like someone put my brain on fire. In effect, I am too disabled to be able to watch normal TV.

Because of this societal imposed disability, excluding me from using common services without experiencing real suffering for the sheer benefit of making more money, I have taken the following extreme stance:

“Viewing of any and all ads should require consent!” My mind is mine and companies trying to hold my limited focus/concentration by using psychologically manipulative tricks is simply invasive and violates my chance to remain cognitively functional.

There are some that do ads right. For example, LTT always notifies about “segues to their sponsor [SPONSORNAME]” allowing me a brief chance to pause the vid and choose for myself if I want to watch, skip, or leave.

While I usually do skip, there have been times I consented and watched an advertisement because of genuine interest or even for my own entertainment. (Hermitcraft Grian and Mumbo produced a great ad for Mumble. I still wish I could buy those Scar audiobooks)

So yes, I feel 100% justified to AdBlock everything and saying I don't care about the creators is flat out wrong.

With no other major white pieces left the white horse and the rainbow unicorn have to decide who becomes the new king.

The rainbow unicorn states that its horn makes it clearly superior and therefor it should be king.

But the normal white horse is supported and encouraged by its 2 partner horsies.

It doesnt need to be the radio. The first think i thought when i read old people was bluetooth hearing aid. The fact that the call drops every time is super suspicious. Remove all bluetooth devices on your phone and make a few calls with no bluetooth enabled at all. Mention things you know they would definitely bring up to rule it out.

You should probably add a link. I already know this happend but it still reads like a joke.

Truly the weirdest timeline.

Yes. “That isn’t exactly free” indeed.

We give power to greed and it has corrupted our institutions. We differentiate far to little between personal ownership (to maintain and survive) and private ownership (to profit and expand) when it comes to taxes.

Any system where people will die from lack of resources should be abolished.

I am a simple man. I check if the fitgirl site i am on is the real one and thats about it.

For rare music files il try any torrent that promises to have what i am looking for. I have yet to actually catch sm malicious.

Ever time i see a post like this i ask the same thing and i have yet to receive answer.

Why should i care?

There are so many open source language models, all with different strengths and weaknesses. There are tools to run them on any OS with all kinds of different hardware requirements.

This has been the case since before chatgpt came out and has exponentially blown up since.

Gpt4all is just a single recent model. But in recent weeks it always gets the headlight under “run chatgpt at home”

What does it do to stand out? Why would i use this and not one of the vicuna or llama models?

Hugging face has a leaderboard for open source large language models.

https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard

If you are interested in running this tech at home, familiarize yourself with multiple models because they all will behave differently depending on your hardware and your needs.

Wauw seemed like they really looking out for their users from the bottom of their hearth. Did they use that info to provide daily motivational messages or changed the personal algorithm to push less content that causes negative emptions… Or did they figure out its yet another demographic that can get triggered into an action/purchase from a wel designed ad?

I upgraded 10 to 11 and really liked it. Problem with linux is all the commandline if you want to do advanced stuff.

Then i got a gpt-4 subscription and installed arch linux with hyperland. I aint looking back, everytime i use a windows system now it feels slow and prehistoric… sometimes though you get some weird problem you just don’t wanna deal with at the time and then its briefly booting into windows again.

Lemmy just upvote all three of these just because i am also new.

Thanks for typing out what i was gonna say.

I am agnostic about simulation theory. If an advanced enough “something” can create a simulation undistinguishable from the lives we experience now then i would bet that we do live in one. But thats a big if and goes a bit further than one where life cant tell. (A simulated single cell organism is miles of from simulated mammals and society)

Id love to see a source on how risky this actually is. Is there something in the steam toss that you cant mod this specific file on a legally bought game? I’ve been using sm similar for cities skylines for a while now.

I know people have gotten banned for pirating full games through steam but i have yet to see it happen over dlc.

Time to implement a new checkbox “remember the state of the remember me checkbox”

Jokes aside this probably requires injecting some code or script into the webpage. Maybe theres a browser extension that can do this.

I prefer “the pawn on e5 shows it survived the blast because by this time it had gotten enough diamonds to craft a blast resistance chestplate”

The pawn keeps the armor but an enchanting table and diamond pickaxe can also be found on e5 as separate entities.

I was upset to lose Apollo but hearing that they where going to exclude some apps for accessibility I thought to just move there. My main issue is ads. Just any alternative to avoid the ads on their app was gonna be good for me…. Then they started completely mishandeling the protest exercising their technical authority over the subs and content and i got to lemmy real quick.

How much would speed matter to a simulated lifeform. Ive often wondered if time would suddenly stop and then continue we would probably just experience it like it didn’t stop.

For audio these do make some sense.. for any others like hdmi though..

Kobald is a program to run local llms, some seem on par with gpt3 but normaly youre gonna need a very beefy system to slowly run them.

The benefit is rather clear, less centralized and free from strict policies but Gpt3 is also miles away from gpt3.5. Exponential growth ftw. I have yet to see something as good and fast as chatgpt

I literally just download it. Your reply is my first notification on it. 🐭

I am gonna have a big sarcastic shocked Pikachu face when we discoverer reddit made a large chunk of all those bot accounts just to data harvest and influence lemmy.

I wouldn’t even call reddit spying on lemmy a conspiracy, just a natural part of competition in business.

There already are some that are fully relying on external income and leave there video unmonitized by google. But yeah most smaller channels dont have that option.

I am actually trying to find more of it! I love burn corposhit style drama. Its a bit all over the place though so i can see why its annoying. Maybe i should start my own community..

Is this real/new? Premium for whats essentially some css?

Ah yes, you see these are number terms that indicate how videos are encoded. I absolutely understand how to feel with this post and are worthy of participating in the smart discussion in the comments.

imposter syndrome aside, left is a nice grid, right is a really really bad attempt at drawing a golden ratio. Sure left is better to maintain average quality. Why are people talking about converting to one and then the other? Why is the golden ratio one not symmetric!

The minecraft sub may actually be what got me into using reddit before it even was used as an official space. Glad to see them take a stance.

I hope its placed pointing at the unicorn so we get a cool prism effect from its horns reflection.

I am quite happy trying memmy now but its really cool how smooth wefwef feels for working inside a web browser.

As a lemmy user i can click your name and scroll trough a list of all posts and comments you have made. Thats your data and its currently free for the taking to any corporation.

Eventually instances may develop ways to protect their users from this for example make posts only visible to verified human members that are members of a community. Now imagine a user joining such community from the meta threads apps. It wouldn’t be beneath them to fulltime record the app screen and ocr all the text the user sees.
