  Alternatively, how many of them have invested in one or more of these LLM makers and are ready to torpedo their own business as long as it makes the share price go up/feeds more authentic training data?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting read, but boy does this journalist have a … different read on things than I do.

  People talk a lot about the protocols that power Bluesky vs. ActivityPub, because we’re nerds and we believe deep in our hearts that the superior protocol will win.

  IMO it’s the exact opposite; we talk about this because we want the best protocol to win, this time, while knowing full well that usually it doesn’t.

  Of course search was broken because all OSS social tools must have one glaring lack of functionality.

  My understanding is that search on the microblogging side of the fedi is intended to be “broken” (from the view of someone expecting a Twitter-style search); hashtags are for opting-in to global discoverability whilst without them your posts are intended to be stumbled upon and/or passed around rather than sought out.

  If the American press had given me 20 minutes of airtime I could have convinced everyone they don’t want to get involved with Greenland. We’re not tough enough as a people to survive in Greenland, much less “take it over”.

  I doubt that trump supporters cheering on the USA throwing their weight around like the world’s bully-in-chief would be receptive to such a message.

  I can’t tell if I’m just too deep in the fedi-culture weeds, or if the article really is confidently ignorant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the Fediverse had its own full-scale News Network?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They aren’t fediverse-first, and they’re French-based/French-focused/French-language-only, but Blast is an online, video-first news station that hosts their own peertube instance (video.blast-info.fr) where they upload everything as well as putting their videos on YouTube. They also have a mastodon account where they share everything they publish: mamot.fr/@blast_info.

  So, it’s definitely possible to have news on the fediverse, but I don’t think we’re at a point where it can be exclusively on the fedi - even if the stations’ website is ActivityPub-enabled, the majority of the people that a news station would want to reach just aren’t browsing the fediverse, let alone have accounts here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.today is absolutely beautiful⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Flashy and pretty, but as a UI I find it places too much visual emphasis on form over function / style over substance. The biggest example I can give us that I don’t think the bright neon blue left border on posts should be so much more eye-catching than the post titles. If I were to change things, I would probably try to find a dimmer shade of blue for them, and/or add some additional decoration to post titles so that they more clearly are the first thing my eyes are drawn to when scanning the page.

  Quinces are not that edible when raw. Best cooked as veg alongside meat, or jellied into gummies, in my experience.

  Hi, not OP, but: that’s known as frontmatter, it’s somewhat widespread, and thus I suspect that it’s much more difficult to have it live at the end of your markdown files than in a separate file or db altogether - unless OP is already rolling their own markdown parser.

  I wonder if the “language training” has anything to do with it.

  In case you omitted the following out of ignorance and not by deliberate choice:

  podman unshare can be used to (mostly) painlessly access the files created by rootless podman.

  Someone is working on something related: soatok.blog/…/announcing-key-transparency-fediver…

  The rest of their blog is pretty great, too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video games, random friend requests, and scammers!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I get random friend requests from accounts in discord servers that I haven’t even viewed, let alone interacted in, for years - most have some sort of “live/laugh/love” bio blurb. Maybe I’m just an antisocial hermit at this point, but I ignore every single one.

  In comparison, Steam seems a lot more genuine. You can always try suggesting discord for voice chat if you’re leery of installing an unknown program just for talking to that user.

  I hesitate to bring this up because you’ve clearly already done most of the hard work, but I’m planning on attending the following conference talk this weekend that might be of interest to you: fosdem.org/…/VEQTLH-infrastructure-as-python/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many containers are you all running?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently went from 0 to 1. Reinstalled my VPS under debian, and decided to run my forgejo instance with their rootless container. Mostly as a learning experience, but also to easily decouple the forgejo version from whichever version my distro packages.

  I’ve worked on a reverse #10 before (i.e. vertical monitor in the middle, surrounded by two landscape monitors)

  Apparently Linux Torvalds works on dual 6k monitors

  No worries! Your skepticism is warranted, given the broader landscape of games that have done early access.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate - Leiden Medievalists Blog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience it’s already a lot of fun, but you can definitely feel the alpha+solo dev combo on certain aspects. Still, dwarf fortress has been in development for over 20 years and it’s still arguably in alpha, and just as arguably contains more video game than many fully released ones do. That metric on it’s own doesn’t necessarily mean much.

  Ostriv fits many of their recommendations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse Report – #148 – On Protocol Governance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great summary of the current state of things and of the actors involved. There’s a certain flavor of “oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!” to this situation that’s quite disheartening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we need more users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure how the comments are counted, but there may be an increase in comments in Lemmy communities made by accounts from other fediverse software like piefed and mastodon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Culture Workers in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The accounts that post to !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org and !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org are pretty great. I don’t know any of their IRL names (nor do I wish to, to some extent).
