- Comment on The Tiny Book of Great Joys - a book created with a pen plotter & AI 2 weeks ago:
That’s the complete opposite of AI slop?
- Comment on The Tiny Book of Great Joys - a book created with a pen plotter & AI 2 weeks ago:
It’s not my personal project. And can you explain why an art project about an video game that someone did using modern technology in combination with a modern version of some cool retro technology would be off topic in /c/technology ?
- Comment on What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms? 3 weeks ago:
I think that we need to talk about the history of software and social software here, because the current status is kind of crazy:
- Most of the big platforms didn’t invent what they are currently doing. Reddit is basically a forum. They had a great innovation with their voting idea, but functionally there is little difference between the many webforums we had before and Reddit
- Twitter is a microblog, which already tells you about its origins. There were blogs before twitter, on their own servers, talking to each other with pingbacks and RSS
- YouTube, well, basically just shows you videos, which of course was done before by people on their own servers
So basically most fediverse is not emulating existing platforms, but trying to go back to an internet we had before the big platforms took everything over. And with ActivityPub we have the protocol to ease some of the pains that the decentralized internet before the web 2.0 era had. F.e. you had to create an account for each individual webforum, which really sucked if you just wanted to ask a question or share something. Reddit with its one login totally took over, because you could participate in many subforums. It was easier to just hop into /r/cooking to ask a question about your lasagna then to find the relevant lasagna forum and register there.

- Comment on Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras? 3 weeks ago:
Actually - yes, some models are really unsafe. There are “reverse peephole viewers” out there that allow people to, well, view into your apartement. And some models are just screwed together, so a burglar can unscrew them from the outside and then try to push down your handle via the hole.
- Comment on The End of an Era: Exploring the Final Sony MiniDisc Walkman Models 3 weeks ago:
Never heard of mini disk storage drives, but now I have to search if there is one that works on modern computers.

- Comment on ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off 3 weeks ago:
Those small balcony systems pay for them here in Germany at ~35 Cents/kWh in a few months. Even if your power bill is 7x cheaper, they will pay for themselves easily.

And does this have anything to do with generating power from solar panels?

- Comment on For-profit Pie Adblock (from the founder of Honey) called out for copying uBlock Origin open source code without credit 2 months ago:
Never use a “for-profit adblocker”. Ublock Origin is free, open source and therefore won’t fuck you over. You can guess where this “profit” is coming from when you’re not paying for your “for-profit” adblocker
- Comment on Mastodon Says App Downloads Up 47% on iOS Amid Twitter Exodus 3 months ago:
Yeah, I really don’t understand why people are so confused. From a practical perspective your username is username@instance.tld and that’s it. You’re on some server and can simply follow that guy@mastodon.social and you will see the posts.
- Comment on How to make the Threadiverse a nice place and effectively make it grow 6 months ago:
I would question your focus on growth. Yes, we all want this place to succeed. But do we really want this unlimited growth like Facebook, Reddit and all those other companies? Small communities are great, they give you a connection between users, they spark friendships and great discourse. Those are great. Yes, they are smaller than those multimillion user subreddits, but we’ve all seen those big subreddits slowly burning down. Dying to bots, to marketing spam, to low effort, popular comments, to reposts, to karma farming, to US politics. We’ve seen subreddit after subreddit dying to moderator burnout - because big subs are really hard to moderate, people will burn out. They are sacrificing their free time to deal with trolls, shills, putins guys and receive no compensation for that.
So maybe … let’s don’t replicate Reddit? Let’s focus on creating small, helpful communities and people will come.
