Please, I don't wanna hear "oops I guess you're right and that was wrong, ChatGPT must have inserted an error when it generated this statement for me" anymore
Accountability is critical in human relationships, it should be critical in our "AI" relationships too, and definitely you can't pass the buck to "well haha we don't consider *that* thing accountable and I used it"
Oh baby here we go #DNSocial is almost finished. A protocol for truly decentralized social media by posting directly to DNS.

Some tunes to relax my brain after wrastling code all day
I love how so much of the AI debate is on things like:
* Will AI take people's jobs?
* Will AI destroy creativity?
* Will AI take over the world?
* Will AI be used to make people poorer?
And not:
* Will corporations that use AI get rid of people's jobs?
* Will corporations that use AI destroy creativity?
* Will corporations that use AI try to take over the world?
* Will corporations that use AI make people poorer?
Because these LLMs and machine learning systems and so forth aren't just wandering around randomly out there - they're owned by corporations. The corporations are the ones putting them to use. The executives that run those corporations are the ones making the decisions to pay people less, to increase their profits, to make creative people act as subeditors for LLMs.
It's the corporations, and the ethics-free systems that govern them, that cause these things. They're the ones pushing to have more AI.
The rest of us would be happy just having a bit more humanity in the world.
Someone's made a backup index of #RARBG

magnet links include many trackers still online and if that fails the DHT will probably stay populated for awhile. dear lord is #BitTorrent resilient.
fair warning: can't vouch for origin/honeypot/hash poisoning
Just created the initial pull request to #DistributedPress which adds support for #BitTorrent publishing along side other #p2p protocols!
With this you can expect the next issue of @compost to be available to download via your favorite torrent clients!
Now, you COULD absolutely sit down and strictly define a realtime, web-friendly subset of USD for this use and standardize on that, but... then you've just reinvented glTF and made it dependent on a large-ish native runtime? So why not just use glTF from the beginning?
This kind of locked and untrustworthy consumption hardware isn't what I want to wear and I'll continue to look for and promote work toward a future where we have agency and intellect outside of the App Store™️.
#protip : always wear privacy enabling eye lenses when using latest #vr tech incl. eye sensors system ... you never know ...

I made this meme because it seems like a lot of developers are missing the point about #p2p. If your peer isn’t connect directly to another peer, it’s not p2p. If you need a server it’s more like p2s2p, which is also known simply as web development.
Newly decorated gecko terrarium! The plants in the back left and along the bottom of the cactus skeleton are real.
Rebuilding my crested gecko terrarium. Got some fresh soil and some new plants. Also some cute springtails and orange isopods to eat the poop and mould.
