So ENS is just like DNS in that you can have many types of records:
- You can use a record to point to an address, so that instead of seeing 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045 you have vitalik.eth. Almost all apps support this, ex: https://etherscan.io/address/vitalik.eth
- You can use it to point to content on IPFS (a bittorrent-like thing without tokens). Brave supports it natively, otherwise you can also bridges like .limo or .link. Ex: https://ethereum.eth.limo/

I actually end up using them daily!
(Sorry if that was a rhetorical question and you weren't actually curious)

I wonder if people who drive to the gym to do some pretend cycling have considered cycling to the video game arcade to do some pretend driving instead.

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
@sundress could you link to that paper? I would like to read it!

OpenAI shines again by the bias present in their model:

A few folks have said, "Marketing can never work on the Fediverse."
Actually, it already does.
For example, @Raspberry_Pi
Not only are people happy to see them, they're thrilled that that @Raspberry_Pi is using a Raspberry Pi to host their own instance.
That is exceptional marketing.
It's the sort of thing that people on the Fediverse embrace with open arms.
Why? Because @Raspberry_Pi knows they're not selling a product -- they're supporting a cause.
That's why their marketing works.
@PaterSnape @elonmusk Working on it!

Finally time to reveal the good news:
@wikimediaDE has joined the Fediverse on their own server social.wikimedia.de. And I got a job moderating for them.
There will also be another server for all the Wikimedia projects, communities, groups and so on... so stay tuned.
Btw the clues were the many custom emojis I "hid" on climatejustice.social. Here are just a few:

Proud to introduce my new activitypub project: https://bird.makeup . Do you wish to follow on mastodon some people that are still on the bird site? Now you can! You can even follow the muskrat if you want @elonmusk (but why would you?)
@elonmusk It is a fork of the very excellant @BirdsiteLIVE but using a non-rated limited undocumented twitter api, and with some tweaks to make in more natively integrated into activitypub. The plan is to make it the most scalable twitter bridge on the fediverse!

Them: "But I heard that on Mastodon, the mods can read your DMs!" 😲
Me: "I've got news for you about Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc..."
