Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.
I disagree, AI slop cannot teach anyone that “hate is real”. It cannot teach anything, only persuade.
Even without AI- if you are trying to learn about the world, social media is not a reliable place to get information because it will only show you what the algorithm prioritizes. And the algorithm (even if showing real, non-ai, images and videos) is not trying to paint a cohesive and accurate version of events.
Sometimes I think AI slop does nothing but remind us that social media could never really be trusted to deliver reality in the first place.
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.
“EEE” doesn’t really make sense in this context, and even if there was some way for Meta to affect non Meta-owned instances- ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta is allowed to use it however they want.
Got it, very interesting! I look forward to it being worked out soon, Wordpress federation is awesome.
Still not fully integrated, but it’s nice to see broader ActiviyPub adoption beyond “follow a handful of users who opted-in”. I never expected Meta to be the company inching towards federation and not bluesky. Makes me wonder if Tumblr will ever follow through with their promises to federate.
edit: To the (sadly predictable) response that “Meta will screw you over in a heartbeat” YES, of COURSE they will, that’s why it’s GOOD to be able to access Threads content safely and privately from a non-Meta controlled platform.
Jellyfin is great, but in defense of Plex, they announced that remote streaming would require one of the two parties to have a Plex pass was coming back in March so I don’t know if it’s fair to say they are holding anything hostage.
Big fan of low tech magazine!

LOL nice find, I don’t remember that moment.
I posted last month on this topic but I too forgot how many bangers are in Season 2 especially, they just tend to get overshadowed by the later seasons.
If you’re using HAOS (ie not running in docker), there is an official add-on called “File Editor” that allows you to edit the config.yaml and upload files from the UI. It’s not perfect but gets the job done.
HA has a “www” folder that by default that is accessible to the network. Anything in /config/www appears at http://yourhassaddress:8123/local, so your images will be at http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/image.jpg
I think it’s silly to get caught up in definitions too. Cory Doctorow calls the bottom panel “techno feudalism” and I think that’s pretty good.
…little did Berke know at the time the events set in motion by this strip…
This is great, I just cross-posted it to !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com hopefully someone can post it to Reddit. It’s really nice to see a intro to the concept of the fediverse that doesn’t get bogged down with technical details.
I said this elsewhere too, but the bottom panel depicts something other than capitalism, since capitalism definitionally requires a competitive market.
Companies that are ostensibly in competition but not fighting each other too hard, is just another way of saying they are not in competition. It’s not capitalism.
Sir this is a website
