@kevlin @cwebber described ChatGPT as Mansplaining As A Service, and honestly I can’t think of a better description. A service that instantly generates vaguely plausible sounding yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures at an instant with unflagging confidence in it’s own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or awareness even of the level of expertise of it’s audience.

@mrcippy Yes! Some sysadmin knowledge required though. There is a link on the homepage for the code

Discourse 3.0 has arrived, with integrated chat. This is the magical third version, a major milestone! As always, 100% open source and free! 🎉 blog.discourse.org/2023/01/dis

Something you'll see on social media is young people post "look what I made" and some layperson or novice will rip into them about how easy and basic it was, then an industry professional will say it's better than most of their coworkers and they'd get hired on the spot as at least an intern.

Commenters online are miserable bores.

Thinking about making another fediverse replicator like bird.makeup but for Instagram. It could be nice especially with @pixelfed clients that support stories.

Scrapping Instagram is waaaaay harder than Twitter though.

@drewdevault You should put a link to status.sr.ht/ in your nginx error page! Could be helpful

@adamwulf Yeah that graph is pretty meaningless, I'll change it to something else soon

Powered by @OpenAI? Absolutely No.

Local-only and fully open source? YES. ✅

@gpollara @awilbert @wspd7pio That's also already there! On the mastodon web UI, if you click on the timestamp of a replicated tweet, it will take you to the original

Happy to report that as we are about to hit 3.1k users on bird.makeup, the latest round of optimizations I did brought down the time it takes to iterate through all twitter users from ~1.5 hours to ~35 minutes.

Onwards!

I wonder how much more scalable the fediverse could be if we were sending around protobuf instead of JSON

So @cue announced that Apple has now raked in more than $130 Billion in rent seeking AppStore profits. Other than Swift / iOS, Apple did not need to write a single line of code. 😤 apple.com/newsroom/2023/01/app

@ticktok @phildoherty It's true that it might be worth it just for Elden Ring...

It's also true that it's probably going to take them years to release a new model...

I think you both convinced me to get one 😇

@gpollara @awilbert @wspd7pio Thank you! You can simply unfollow a user, and if you are the last one to follow, it will be deleted

Prediction: Clippy comes back in the form of an AI chat assistant and we all forget Cortana ever existed

The entire world has a stake in the success of Brazil’s democracy. Together, we must reject any effort to overturn or disrupt the will of the Brazilian people and affirm the peaceful transfer of power as a cornerstone of democracy.

Thinking about buying a Steam Deck, but maybe I should wait for a v2 with an OLED screen, since I already have a switch.... Any owners here of both systems with thoughts about it?
