Engaging algorithms is the reason people stay on proprietary services. Fediverse users love to shoot themselves in the foot talking about how algorithms and AI sucks then wonder why people don’t want to switch

Engaging algorithm, no paywall, funding or monetization strategy, viewpoint diversity, and a large amount of people already using it

The REUSE specification recommends claiming copyright even if it’s machine generated. Is this incorrect information?

EDIT: Also, how is copyrighting code from an AI different than copyrighting an output from a compiler?

I’ve used Signal with Google Voice before installed on separate profiles

Use a flamethrower, that way you’ll never have to deal with YouTube’s anti-adblock stuff again

So does Wikipedia

I like the bottom image

For coding $280/mo is peanuts compared to how much the Claude API costs

GO self-hosted, go local

Last I checked it costed ~$6000 to run a high end LLM at terrible speeds and that was before the RAM price hike. And at the rate things are changing it might be obsolete in a few year. And I don’t have that much money either.

I’m going to stick with the free OpenCode Zen models for now and maybe switch to OpenCode Black or Synthetic or whatever when they stop being available and use the open weight models there for now.

I use it a lot for my own projects, and even with the open weight models it usually gets 90-95% there for more trivial things if you know what you’re doing, which GUI development is in the category of, and it has sped up my development. Is also helpful for debugging.

Matrix at least has potential for the UX to improve especially with vibecoding being a thing now, Discord will always be a bloated laggy locked-down Electron mess with no public API and hostility to third party clients and automation tools

No you aren’t missing anything, the UX is actually that dumb

Is there a difference between using this vs OpenCode with search extensions and ollama (or whatever people use nowadays)?

Macbook touchpads are so good I actually prefer them over mice most of the time

At my university there are CS clubs specifically for women because only like 1% of the CS students in both classes and clubs are female

Just log in with a third party client where people in the Issues are complaining about being banned. Or use your Discord token and spam their API with illegal calls until they ban your account

Matrix is sort of a mishmash of things, not a fan of the UX but it has federation and encryption and isn’t Discord, and also has bridges to various platforms

It takes more than one post to describe how fucked this is

Reddit feels like Quora at this point with all the affiliate links and promotions

Why would you use only PIN when you can use both?
