Most of those Lemmy debaters are terminally unreachable. I don't provide this information for them.
I'm providing this information because I'm sick of people implying that Black men are "turning to GOP" because of anything that Trump is saying. That they're attracted to Trump or something. Some foolishness about "Black man like strong man!" Or some simplistic analysis like that. No.
It has nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with Black men being tired of Dem voters' and Biden's mess
@mekkaokereke Understandable. I crossposted because I liked the analogy, not to draw you in. It's cool just to sit outside and laugh at the attrociously bad takes as they twist themselves into pretzels.
@db0 Sorry for the late reply, but we feel ya. We’ve not finished our work on the “do not recommend this [entity]“ feature for our recommendations/playlists. One question: Which tool were you using? Recommended playlists or LB Radio?
Assuming you're an anarchist or otherwise leftist radical, what radicalized your position?
For me it was a combination of seeing the rampart corruption of the Greek state and the sloth and hypocrisy of the KKE in my own family. Then afterwards it was the alienation of my own wage-slavery.
The rise of government and corporate surveillance, the enshittification of the internet, and disillusionment of the grandiose promises of technology got me here.
During the BLM protests when people were standing on their porch, filming from their own property and cops came by, turned to them, shouted “light em up!” Then started shooting. I don’t think I will ever see police as anything other than a occupying army after that.
@krazyjakee@db0 Yeah 😅 I just really am not the right person to give you feedback on code. Game development in general I understand, but this goes over my head^^
Man it would be so cool if there was a support network who handle all the stuff #ADHD people are incapable of doing which would cause massive impact to their lives. I spend almost all my free time coding #FOSS to improve the global commons. It would be great if someone who gets value out of my work would help me in turn with state paperwork. 😢
I'm facepalming so hard today. On the discussion of whether #lemmy should start supporting plugins in order for more developers to be able to inject the extra functionality they need, I have a rust fanboi insisting that no, the better approach is to make every admin who needs this compile lemmy from scratch to add the extra functionality. According to them this can be totally as easy as plugins.
The only time I've had to "recompile the software in order to add a feature" was adding Fibre Channel support to the Linux kernel so it can boot off the SAN.
Oh gawds, now they say lemmy administration should be more like nixos and we should develop that instead of developing a plugin framework. Then we can recompile compile everything easy-peasy.
My anti-spam #lemmy automoderator bot #Threativore is now available as a docker container and it is now fully enabled for reporting, removing, and banning. Here's my lemmy announcement: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/15112791
Do we have a heuristic scanning service we can hook into with a REST API to tell us if a message/comment is spam or not, or is this another thing I need to build myself? Thinking of something like akismet but not available only for wordpress.
A ton of the successful FOSS projects I see have dedicated people doing social media all the time. @reduz from #GodotEngine is micro-blogging constantly (on Ex-Twitter) which is a great help for keeping people talking about Godot.
But when you're a small project, its a ton of extra work with a skillset a lot of us are not at all comfortable with.
@db0@reduz I was blessed to work with some FANTASTIC people on community engagement in my time on open source projects ( @paris comes to mind). They are pivotal to a project's success!
Funny ... I was thinking the same and wondering if it's just the bubble I'm in or if an equilibrium has been reached and without user growth there's nothing to really disturb it.
Ugh, the naturally chaotic use of #hashtags on #Mastodon can make it very frustrating to use one of them for specific topics. I want to try and find other people talking about #GenerativeAI and particularly #AIArt like #StableDiffusion, but the last two are swarmed with just people posting images. How does one make a tag that is both easy to (think of to) tag with, and signifies discussion on a topic, instead of image-posting?
It's very much why things like #Lemmy are necessary.
@db0 lemmy communities (and other group models) suffer the same namespacing problems but benefit the first mover getting to moderate how that namespace gets used. I think making a new tag and adding "talk" or "discussion" like "AIArtTalk" usually signifies you explicitly want discussion about the concept not demos of the concept. Another pattern I've seen is "ask" prefixing like "askAIArt". In both cases tag the general tag too.Luckily you can sub lemmy c's here too if they have better curration
As someone who grew up poor and with very little access to global culture, I shake my head sadly with those people who talk about #AIArt with the same moralism people were making against #piracy.
This didn't work then, it won't work now. People without money or time can't and won't support artists. If their only option is to use ML tools to create and share what is in their brain, they will do that instead.
All the arguments against this are privileged "you wouldn't download a car" territory
#LLM and #AIArt give incredible power to the underdogs who never had any money to pay someone to create some. Some many solodevs who had pretty much nothing to use except garbage clipart and a few public assets which usually didn't fit their style.
Sure the same technology will be abused by corpos to get rid of all those pesky humans, but we all know the quality of AI is not AAA. What works "good enough" for an indie, doesn't work for a multimillion production.
