22. Now that I have my setup with tge Khadas Edge 2, I kinda want to get a small screen for it for the times that I don't want to wear a screen on my face. Apparently the touch screen works on Linux?
What if ActivityPub software came with a special (@)moderators account that could support instance to instance moderation conversations, as well as a public inbox that anyone could message with reports or related activity.
It would even come with a gorgeous admin dashboard to track reports and conversations with custom labels for organization and webhooks for 3rd party integrations (like getting notified on slack or discord)
🤔
seriously like all the malware google claims to be stopping with the app verification thing is actually on the google play store. i don't think i've ever seen malware on f-droid, but you can simply go to google play and search "flashlight" to find tons and tons of malware

I think someone at Apple deliberately released this exploit because no one wants to update to “liquid glass” 😤
Lmao the AI in The Amazing Digital Circus is canonically written in #lisp
I saw a post recently wherein someone used LLM tools to analyze someone else’s software, which eventually led them to a conclusion that was essentially completely wrong. Not only that, the LLM drew conclusions about the *authors* behind the code that were borderline character assassination. Nevertheless, this person posted this output as though it were some kind of deep insight.
These LLM outputs are not independent thoughts. The LLM probably ingested hints of (maybe unconscious) biases in the user’s prompts within its context window, and regurgitated something that confirmed those biases. The user was pleased that their biases were confirmed (Independently! By an impartial LLM!), and they posted the output, maybe as vindication of their insight.
These models’ sycophancy can be subtle. They don’t have to state “You’re absolutely right!” to blow smoke up your ass. Sometimes they seem to confirm your preconceived notion after they supposedly “evaluate” information “independently”.
How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works:
1. Harasser replies to their target's post, with the reply set to "followers only", saying the most vile stuff you can imagine.
2. All the harasser's followers join in on the harassment, posting more vile stuff.
3. Nobody but the target and the harassment crew can see the vile stuff that was said.
4. Target is traumatized. Nobody else can see why.
5. Everybody says "I don't see it so it's not happening."
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
