@BigTittyBimbo from what I understand they're literally looking at robots and brain chips that enforce loyalty because they are intimately aware of this fact
@BigTittyBimbo I expect they'll be eatem alive by robot dogs because they were scared of being eaten alive by their security team. The hubris of the wealthy should have lead to their demise years ago.
What's the point of money when billionaires think they can just throw humanity away and live in their bunkers as we all starve and die of disease. Why do we keep participating in this stupid system made to grind us into a pulp so some rich kid can idle away and jerk off to how meritocratic everything is.
LMAO managed to activate a client's security team by misspelling an email when requesting access to something. Seems I give off "hacker invading your systems" vibes

Get your website back, reclaim your history
In the digital world, there’s nothing more disheartening than losing access to a website you’ve poured time and effort into building — a connection point with readers, referenced by links to articles and news :(
Lost your website? We can (maybe) help!
We're offering a Resilience Grant for NGOs, non-profits, and individuals who protect human rights and empower people, especially those facing systemic inequity and prejudice. We'll recover your site and make it more resilient with the DWeb—100% free.
Apply now through this form! We'll be choosing two organizations to work with in early January 2025.
FAQs
How will you recover my site?
We can restore your site if it meets certain technical conditions. Share your details in the registration form so we can evaluate whether we can help you.
How do you make my website more resilient?
At Distributed Press, we specialize in creating decentralized versions of websites using protocols like IPFS and Hypercore.
Having collaborative copies of your site hosted outside HTTP helps avoid fragility and link rot, reduces the risk of losing information, makes your data more resistant to censorship and deletion, and ensures it remains accessible even if/when hosting servers go down. As part of this grant, we’ll not only recover your site but also host it on the Distributed Web.
What are the conditions?
We will recover 1 site for 2 organizations or individuals during February 2025. Selection criteria include technical feasibility of the restoration and your consent to share the story as a case study afterward. Due to the tight timeline of this project, you’ll also need to agree to a response time of around 48 hours — so we can move forward together!
Victor in the last couple episodes of Arcane is such a gender. I need that extra arm on my back 😍
@m455 Do iiiit. Good excuse for me to browse more gemini sites in agregore

so after spending a lot of time talking about how apple does and/or doesn’t use siri data yesterday day
yesterday night, i finally did the demo for on device in browser voice recognition
nothing super flashy yet, but i added it over the green background and in the realtime only mode, it’s great for subtitles.

even if you’re not a programmer, i hope i made the language easy enough for you to see how consent works and how simple it can be to implement

Campaña: Internet resiliente con DWeb (Web Distribuida)
Recuperá tu página web, recuperá tu historia
En el mundo digital, no hay nada más desalentador que perder el acceso a una página web que hemos dedicado tiempo y esfuerzo en construir, que es nuestra punto de encuentro con nuestrxs lectores y está referenciada por artículos y noticias :(
¿Perdiste una página web?
Beca completa para organizaciones, colectivos y activistas de DDHH, defensa del territorio, transfeministas, economía social.
Recuperamos tu sitio y lo hacemos más resiliente con DWeb, 100% gratis.

FAQs
¿Cómo lo recuperan?
Podemos restaurar tu sitio si cumple con ciertas condiciones técnicas. Contanos tu situación en el formulario de inscripción para que podamos evaluarlo.
¿Cómo lo hacen más resiliente?
En Distributed Press, donde construimos en conjunto las cooperativas Sutty y Hypha, nos dedicamos a crear versiones de sitios en protocolos decentralizados - IPFS y Hypercore.
Tener copias de tu sitio hosteadas colaborativamente por fuera de HTTP te evita fragilidad y linkrot, disminuye el riesgo de perder información, hace tu data más resistente a la censura y borrado, y permite que esté disponible aún si los servidores de hosteo se caen. En esta beca, además de restaurar tu sitio, lo alojaremos en la Web Distribuida.
¿Cuáles son las condiciones?
Tenemos la posibilidad de recuperar 1 sitio de 2 organizaciones / personas durante febrero 2025. El criterio de selección incluye aspectos técnicos que hagan posible la restauración del sitio, y darnos consentimiento para compartir la historia como caso de estudio al finalizar. Además, por los ajustados tiempos de este proyecto, deberán acordar a tener tiempos de respuesta de alrededor de 48hs ¡así podemos avanzar juntes!

@gert That's not far from what I've been doing in Agregore actually. All the protocol handlers are runnable as daemons without too much trouble and I actually used a local gateway for the Godot support in HyperGodot. Been thinking of figuring out how to bundle the protocol stuff into something easy to install.
@gert Oh? I thought Rust was an independant thing now after mozilla had that string of abandoning a bunch of projects. https://foundation.rust-lang.org/
I usually don't worry about it too hard and prepare to pivot when stuff goes wrong. I generally just care that stuff is open source so I can dig in it :P
@gert I feel you on gjs. I was looking into using it at one point too. I think the thing I keep struggling with is that I want apps I make to be cross platform but all the options for that kinda suck or are limited for the protocol handlers use case. Right now I've been dreaming of Rust and maybe forking Servo.

The way it is complimenting the prompter throughout for their fascinating and groundbreaking theorizing is giving me a very grim pit in my stomach. Normal conspiracy theories are sticky and trap people's minds, but their cultures are actually usually highly internally critical and collaborative - it might seem ironic but in conspiracy theory forums you get intense exclusion of "the wrong version" of the theory, both as a way to maintain some vanishing sense of "external credibility" but also as a group norming and hierarchy mechanism.
I think almost everyone knows that LLMs will enthusiastically tell you the wrong information, but I hadn't seen an example of an LLM enthusiastically telling you are a genius as you slip away from reality. There is no way to set guardrails against that. There is no macro pattern and there is nothing intrinsically harmful about the content per se, the harm is how its use will alienate, isolate, and likely cause a great deal of personal crisis in this person's life - and they won't be able to tell it was chatGPT that helped them get there.

Doing my annual update of my CV and it's so hard to fit all the stuff I've worked on in the past 12 years onto just a few pages. 💀
Web Brutalism but with Global User Styles to make it all look nice again
Easing back into daily computer touching in anticipation of going back to work on Monday.
The constant threat of violence against the poor under capitalism is a great way to enable unethical behavior in those that hoard money. Why bother threatening violence yourself when you can just thrown in a rope to the drowning and threaten to cut it off if they don't dance for you. Fish in a barrelx
