My point was that creators should want to disconnect from these artificial engagement driven systems that make people care about their “brand” and all that corpo bullshit.
I don’t think mastodon has to do anything to draw creators to it, it is what it is and many people like it that way. I don’t like the fake, engagement driven, clout goblin mentality that infests instagram and if mastodon started doing things to cultivate that vibe I would consider it a bug not a feature.
I’m sorry but that’s because you are treating Mastodon like an advertising platform, not a social network.
engagement is slim to none compared to say, Instagram
This is because Instagram is an ad platform with social features.
LLMs are expert systems, who’s expertise is making believable and coherent sentences. They can “learn” to be better at their expert task, but they cannot generalise into other tasks.
Thanks, some of it is legal content that has just been sitting locked away on a hard drive for years while I work out what to do with it.
A friend who does archival stuff for govt keeps giving me stuff all like “hey check out this weird thing!” with some ancient film or something. It would be nice to share that, I’ll have a look at posting those to the IA.
Haha nearly got you! :-P
My threat model doesn’t need to include people hacking my locks. The average junkie breaking into my house to steal shit isnt doing it with the blessing of some hacking group. There are no cat-burgulars coming for my collection of antique dildos. I can definitely understand not e-locks for a museum or a bank, but they use integrated security systems that are far out of reach of home users. Another point is that the tumblers in most home door locks are trivial to pick, more trivial than hacking an e-lock.
When I installed digital locks my partner was paranoid about them until I reminded her that we live in a house with a lot of windows. If someone is going to the lengths to crack my lock rather than smashing my windows, we have other problems.
People talk a lot about home-assistant but there is another part to that setup; the devices themselves and the firmware they run.
If you stick to ESP8266 devices mostly you can use things like Tasmota and ESPHome. Zigbee/Z-wave is good I’ve heard but nothing compares to the interoperability of good 'ol WiFi.
It costs like less than $15 for a Sonoff Basic R2, another $5 for a knock off FTDI USB programmer. With a tiny bit of soldering you can put some programming pins on the Sonoff and flash Tasmota. From there you can use Mosquitto to control it, or the HTTP API, both open and interoperable protocols.
Jellyfin is really really nice btw. I havent experienced any issues and I have it setup in docker with gpu for transcoding.
You could also disable that disabler. Once you own that shit you can dk what you want with it. Block tesla domains, alter the ignition code.
You could disable their spyware. Cars didn’t always phone home to snitch on you.
Matrix does exist. It has another level of “barrier for entry” but its probably the least worst option excluding network effect.
I’m not involved either. I definitely would never do anything so abhorrent and inconsiderate of rights holders who purchased their copyrights fair and square.
Never.
Ever.
While I agree in the practical sense (I use CloudFlare myself), it kind of goes against the spirit of the fediverse as it centralises around a single corporation.
without posting any proof of claim as of today.
I would like to see proof before I cheer.
Right. I guess I just loathe the relentless commodification of our social interactions and one of the things I like about mastodon isthath the “always be promoting your personal brand” thing is notably absent. It reminds me of early social media, before people became brainrotted chasing the influencer lifestyle. I guess I just don’t think you can have an algorithm for that kind of thing because then the connections aren’t real.
