just published an update on the #cabal side of things, including news on the nlnet grant we secured and are just starting work on! :>
@GeeksLoveDetail It's nice. It's got a different feel than West of Loathing but I think it's a good thing since they're iterating on the mechanics and structure.
Can't wait for it to come out on the switch so I can replay it there too. 😁
I decided to become a cheese wizard with a minor in insectology

now ChatGPT seems really impressive and all but you have to remember that you can be tricked into thinking a rock has feelings by drawing a cute face on it
re: cryptocurrencies, humbled
@garbados Honestly I would love it if there was a viable alternwtive to gov/ US controlled financial transactions that didn't just empower the ultra rich further.
My hot take is that web3 / blockchain stuff was never decentralized. Right from the start it's been centrally managed servers, but with the ability to federate. The amount of effort it takes to run the infra means only a few orgs actually could 🤷

"The fact that the decentralized web isn’t decentralized is not a secret. Plenty of people can see that Web3 is centralizing far faster than Web2 ever did, they simply don’t care. They’re hoping to position themselves in such a way that they either become part of the monopoly, or at least get bought out for a nice chunk of change along the way."

Capitalism does not require us to “work or starve.”
It requires us to perform labor *for property owners* or *be starved by property owners.*
You have ancestors who lived before wage labor. They didn’t starve to death because they lacked jobs and wages.
You do not lack any of the faculties they possessed. You do not lack any of their abilities to sustain themselves by their own effort.
What you lack is *permission* from property owners.

I despair about how many talented people are using Substack when we know exactly where that whole mess is headed.
Should I shitpost on main or make a shitposting alt? 🤔🤔🤔
@capyloon Yooooooo. I wonder if it works in Agregore Mobile out of the box too 🤯
@capyloon That's so cool! Is this uaing the new post support in the gateway?

Here's a video (sorry for the quality) of 2 Capyloon devices sharing data thanks to IPFS:
- the laptop "uploads" the capybara image to its local ipfs node, and generates a QR Code with the ipfs:// url.
- the phone scans the QR Code to get the ipfs:// url, and loads it as any other web page.
- since both devices discovered each other over mDNS, no data left the local network!
@pauldaoust Wow wow wow thatms amazing. To for the info, definately gonna look into this more! Now if only these models disn't take a huge amount lf computation to run 🤪
@pauldaoust Interesting, what sort of overlap would you anticipate? I don't think I know anything about them. :o
Are there any open frameworks out there to train gpt bots based on your social media posts and chat logs?
Could be a cool way to do async communication in VR. Infodump a bunch of your thoughts into a prompt, then attach it to an avatar and send it over to someone as a message.

Hi. It would help me a lot if I could get a HEAP of responses to this poll. The goal is to get a decent enough sample so results are predictive of the wider user-base right now. I dislike asking for boosts but this is SCIENCE... or something. (Thanks.)
How do you use Mastodon MOST of the time?
On a phone, or other touch screen device?
OR
On a device with a keyboard like a laptop or desktop computer?
(If it's half and half choose the middle option.)
