No no no there’s a large difference, it’s “round up all the bad people who cause lasting harm, let them die, and then everything will be better!”. Like it or not, you can not measure good with the same stick as you can measure evil. Not when the systems we’ve built in do favour "evil as default (and worse, up to some point, so do the rules of physics).

Are they stupid or evil? Hard to tell these days.

At scale, or in capitalism, there is no difference.

betcha you didn’t see that coming, bitch.

I’m feeling patriotic enough to burn US flags and I’m not even from the US!

accounting for the fact that Europeans sleep for a portion of the day.

…they get to sleep for a portion of the day???

This is unfair!

Has both a piracy and a privacy community, which is nice and probably leads to fun mishaps / mistypings. It’s pretty lean to federate to and fro as well, same with the UI.

Just about the only negative I can consider is their position pro AI, but I can live with that, the world is pretty close to the end anyway.

You could always keep it open for internal usage, or offer it as a backup for when Cloudflare oopsies the internet or smth. It’s how we did the meeting that should have been an email at where I work, the day Clownstrike hit.

1. No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
2. But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant “each software”, that’s more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
3. No but yes.
4. I’m not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting.
5. Mostly absolutely yes. I think I’ve seen it discussed a few times under “fediverse identity” or something like that.

As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it’s time to spread out.

db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country’s lemmy.

Jitsi.

The communist presidential candidate in my country has a live interview in one hour. Just in time for the metrics work meeting that could have been an email.

This will be fun.

Does this meme sanction me from the US?

AI is much like smoking (hey, it is killing the atmosphere! ). Even if a good writer uses it, the usage itseld can still cause harm for others.

Oh it’s for the correct sound distinction. Compare naïve vs naive (eg.: glaive).

I’d take it part of the problem is that publisher is quite a “unglorious” job to say somehow. Like, it’s difficult to make it look fancy or interesting enough that you’d take effort, time and resources from other things you could be doing - such as, ya know, writing the story you want to write - to have to do that.

Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.

I’m a simple person, I see DokuWiki and I install it some plugins. Easy to self-host on a cheap VPS (no database required!) or on your own machine (if you have access to eg.:Docker). But that’s more for a general wiki kind of thing, useful but not specialized like having tools aimed for worldbuilding.

Haven’t checked any of the offerings here but I’m told by a couple fellows that they’ve had decent story with Hammer. Would probably start looking there.

The latter part makes sense to me tbh. Machines should not allowed to compete with humans (in creative endeavours) because it is an intrinsically unfair competition that further erodes the rights of those humans who are more vulnerable, in the circumstance that is opposite to the intent of having machines around in the first place. They are supposed to do our beast-of-burden work, not make it so that our only pending value to be extracted by capitalism is beast-of-burden work.

What I’m not sure I buy is the idea that the “countless works” generated by AI actually compete with the original, in particular if they are non-infringing. Let’s say I take the work of an author to train an AI on their style. The author writes exclusively noir; I instruct the AI to generate college drama in the same style. Are the new works competing? The author won’t offer me a college drama in the first place.

Stamping pawseal of approval on every print!

Transcript? I don’t see how it’s lying to you unless it’s due to stuff like each cracker adding their own stuff, maybe e-coin mining as part of the crack or something like that, but I guess (at least for famous / wanted content) the community would filter those out real fast.
