IMO the laundry thing is an easy example of the larger issue of extreme privilege. Being able to live on a rich friend’s property in the woods by a pond sounds awesome. I’m sure I would love that and it would do amazing things for my well-being. But that’s just not a relatable thing for most people and it can really sour the message.
Except, ideally, a PhD thesis. Which should contain a completely new piece of information for the world.
I run Lemmy, Plex, and a bunch of other services from a desktop in my basement. It works great. The Lemmy docker setup is a little finicky but works well once you get it.
There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn’t really care about ad revenue.
I’d highly recommend adding a license file. Right now it’s more source available than open source.
Well no, it’s the same parts. It’s literally called the matter stream. The exact same parts are taken apart, moved to a new location, and reassembled.
If you arm gets cut off, you and your arm go together to the hospital, and they reattach it, are you a different person? If you die in the ambulance and they revive you, are you a different person?
If you’ve ever followed the C++ committee discussions you’ll see they put a lot of time and effort into considering legacy code when introducing language changes. For better or worse existing languages are on a trajectory set from their inception that can’t always be easily redirected. New languages are free of this baggage and can wildly experiment.
I don’t believe so. I’m not sure what their long term goals look like.
There’s no need to run an LLM on the same system it was trained on. Once the model is built it contains all the information already. If you want a model to live on long term you would just release the file(s) publicly, like hugging face does with theirs, then anyone could use it or host an interface for it.
Your instance would have connection logs for whatever browsers or mobile apps you used, but other instances talk directly to yours and know nothing about you. So use an instance hosted in a jurisdiction you’re comfortable with or like you said tor or another basic vpn is plenty to anonymize you.
Lemmy federation only starts when a user on your instance searches for and subscribes to a community on another one. So unless a user on your instance goes searching for cp it’s not really an issue.
They also host their own f-droid repo if you want one built by the developers and not f-droid. https://fdroid.fedilab.app/repo/
Or I get to interact with cool people from all around the world that I’d never get to meet otherwise. But ok go be edgy outside if you don’t like it here
I couldn’t find a good one on their site so I downloaded the app. It’s a fancy notes app with templates for a bunch of different things. The hook seems to be the decentralized sync system.
Nope, I’ve seen nothing firm about them doing or not doing it, but OP asked about current information and at the moment they are open source and do not have a standards document.
As it stands I wouldn’t jump on AT for a project of mine and wouldn’t recommend it as a superior protocol on those grounds.
So when Bluesky introduces a new feature or a breaking change in the protocol anyone downstream will find out when it gets pushed, maybe a little ahead of time when it comes in as a pull request. Bluesky goes live with the change immediately, maybe in a public beta channel, maybe straight to prod, depending on their testing setup. Anyone running a bluesky compatible server becomes immediately incompatible until they rush to implement the new changes. The best user experience will be had on first party servers, driving the vast majority of users there.
For a standard defined protocol, like ActivityPub for example, to introduce a change like that it would first go to the standards comittee where it would be discussed publically with stakeholders. The changes would be published and then all parties would begin implementations at a pace that makes sense to them. It’s like when you hear about new Wi-Fi versions several years before any devices actually support them. One group doesn’t just get to come out with some crazy new change that everyone else has to reverse engineer and then race to keep up.
What Bluesky is doing might be fine and make sense for their model, whatever that may be. I just want to point out that there is a difference and it drastically changes what the future of the service will look like.
Bluesky’s protocol implementation is open source but the protocol isn’t defined by any standard. Once its open and federating, if that ever happens, anyone who wants to connect will be entirely beholden to the latest published version from bluesky and whatever protocol documentation they provide. They’re starting in the middle of the EEE playbook, anyone who wants to join in has to chase them.
As far as I know AT isn’t actually being used anywhere at the moment. Bluesky has a single server with closed registration and no federation partners. Despite being open source, AT isn’t really intended to be an open protocol.
ActivityPub, on the other hand, has a few hundred servers including several dozen large ones all federating nicely together.
I actually think your hypothetical smoker is a great example of the opposite. Someone who lived it, understands the struggle, and ultimately regrets their choices is exactly who you want to hear from. It’s why the really cheesy don’t smoke PSAs don’t ring a chord with most people, they don’t feel genuine.
I don’t think Thoreau is some enormous hypocrite, but I do absolutely understand why some people might feel bitter about it when they learn the greater context.
