Mastodon doesn’t have groups?

“This kind of thing” being big picture dynamics of how to run a social media project.
I’ve also had a mastodon PR stall, but I think they get so many, many with competing demands, and have so few staff, that it’s not really surprising that it’s a bit mess on that front…

That first post is very good. I really appreciate the way he’s handled the first 10 years, and I hope he has fun doing whatever he does next.

Eugen has always seemed pretty clear-eyed about this kind of thing.

Yeah, I think AI optimising commercial music genres is just effectively doing what the corporate music industry has been doing for years anyway. It’s like gamification of the auditory processing system.

It is possible for genAI to be creative in that sense (e.g. move 37), but it’s not possible for it to know whether that new thing is good/valuable/true/whatever. So it can’t challenge an idea in any sense more meaningful than a monkey throwing darts. A human could use it to generate challenges, and then evaluate them, but that’s a different proposition.

On your first point, I think it’s not so much about reputation as about trust. Long-standing accounts at least have the simple trust that’s based on consistency and familiarity. If you meet a new person IRL, you at least get something to go off based on visuals and behavioural cues. A new account online has absolutely nothing to base any trust on.

Emotions (and hence also a lot of thinking) have a lot of physical and chemical processes involved too, it’s not just neural signalling.

The outputs becoming indistinguishable does not imply that the generative processes are the same.
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 1 week ago:
Like this? piefed.zip/…/mullvad-will-shut-down-its-privacy-f…
Yea, I’m not into it…
Perhaps if it explicitly showed my subscribed communities first, and had a clear separator for non-subscribed communities. But I would prefer an option to not see stuff from other communities at all
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 1 week ago:
I’m thinking more about less clutter while reading
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 1 week ago:
You can already do that in Lemmy and piefed - crossposts are listed at the top
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 1 week ago:
Nah, because if if there’s a post that’s of interest to more than one community, and I’m only in one of those, then I probably don’t want to see comments from those other communities, because they will be related to topics/aspects that I’m not here for (otherwise I’d also be subscribed to those communities).
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 1 week ago:
I think there is potentially a lot of value in having separate crossposts per community… E.g. if a link touches on multiple separate topics (say, cinematography and nature), then people visiting an cinematography community would probably prefer to see conversation related to their interest…
Agree that crossposts from similar communities (same name) across different servers should be merged though (although there probably should be a way for community mods to opt out of that…)
- Comment on Replacing fridge light with lower wattage LED bulb? 1 week ago:
It’s a standard e14 socket - I guess it’s AC? Not actually sure. I think the bulb should work for both though, 'cause it has a rectifier, I think?
- Comment on Replacing fridge light with lower wattage LED bulb? 1 week ago:
Interesting! Thanks! I’ll see if I can find a similar bulb and try it.
I guess the fact that it worked for a second the first time and then stopped working entirely (but the bulb still works elsewhere) indicates I probably borked part of the fridge. Oh well, it wasn’t working for years anyway…
- Comment on Replacing fridge light with lower wattage LED bulb? 1 week ago:
I tried the bulb in a lamp and it’s fine, and other LEDs also failed.

- Comment on Is it weird to simultaneously feel love and hatred towards parents? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe? But I’d say it’s probably also quite common. Parent-child relationships are pretty intense at the best of times, and no one is perfect. No idea what your situation is, but it’s worth remembering that parenting is hard sometimes, and it’s easy to fuck up.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 3 weeks ago:
Agree. That’s not related to the point I was responding to though…
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 4 weeks ago:
Because hosting was more diverse before, so when shit happened it took out a couple of sites, not a quarter of the internet

- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 5 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, I saw that a while back. Hilarious! Also kind of unusual (though lots of people have used smaller samples from toys and instruments)
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 1 month ago:
All good, was just wondering.
I do DJ (non-professionally). I generally think there are two skills with DJing:
- Taste, library management and music choice, which is not a technical skill, but does take a bit of effort in preparing for a set
- Actual technical mixing skills, which many DJs (including me) barely have, but some take to a level that is on basically a form of musicianship.
I don’t think AI can really help you do either… but I guess it could make a mixed set and you could pretend to play it, like a Casio keyboard
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 1 month ago:
Are you speaking from experience? 'Cause that’s not even vaguely related to how any of the DJs I know (including a couple of professionals) got started. The prime motive for most DJs is sharing cool music, and Casio keyboards don’t do that…

Vision is a strong word. I think it’s a vague idea in most cases

- Comment on Mapping Australia by the Nearest City with a Population of 100,000 or More 1 month ago:
Bioregions would make a lot more sense. Use catchments and biome boundaries, because those are the units that need coherent management. They would correspond a bit, but not quite.
