Does anyone remember the "Google Balls" meme from a while ago. Anyone?

do people really think that bsky is led by billionaires

i guess i took another dip into the "code is art" debate

Essem@essem.space

i simply reject the notion that art exists purely for aesthetic pleasure; i'd say that most art is created for expression it's about the experience, not just the appearance or feeling; if you see something made with the intent to evoke *dis*pleasure, does that mean it ceases to be art?

if you really want to read my scatterbrained thoughts on this then here you go

okay yup that's multiple moral ocd triggers in a row on my for you feed should probably dip for a little bit

i would like to announce that the this-is-epic.space PDS has joined the anti w social cabal and is now receiving funding from its leader

W Social@wsocial.eu

As we have communicated. We did the update on Septemebr 17th. Now a question back to you @wdonthavetime.selfhosted.social Who have funded you and what is your connection to other PDS operators? What is your motive to create a site framing public information as a "data-leak" what's your motive?

i don't talk about it much on this network for Reasons but i was just pulling in the latest masto code for my fork earlier and oh my god they made the dark theme Purple

i just thought it was kinda funny to see such a drastic change like that, might not be final though considering they've made a lot of tweaks and changes to the redesign so far

i ended up reverting this in the custom theme we use (since we're still using the old design by default and the changes here also applied to that) but i also made a new skin that does nothing right now but change the colors to approximate how they were beforehand

why do people still use double counter

oh good god it's even worse than i thought verification/fingerprint history, guild info, locations, user agents, *plaintext admin passwords*, and so on all accessed; absolutely no encryption or hashing anywhere, despite claiming to do so in their privacy policy

as it turns out they are not following GDPR either despite being based in france; they have a self-serve delete request system, but that system *does not delete the info* despite claiming to do so

why do people still use double counter

these people are so maliciously incompetent it's unreal

yeah someone got into our old production server that we never wiped and accessed 15 million IP addresses and 2 million emails. no big deal, everything's fine guys, no sensitive info was impacted. we're no longer using that provider, wait no don't look at our current server IPs

why is everything so kiwifarms now

librewolf is not a regular browser for usage by regular people stop trying to pretend it is

`mrowww,,,,, pet me,,`

ikey doherty being driven to start yet another distro project purely out of spite for omarchy is hilarious and i fully support it

making bad art makes me sad so i guess i'm not a "real" artist (not that i was much of one anyways)

maybe i should've handed esmbot off to someone else 3 years ago

i'm so afraid to do almost any kind of large refactor in fear that something will break along the way and code quality will get worse

unit tests would be really good to have but i still have yet to come across any type of system that would work reasonably well given that it is a bot for a centralized chat platform with heavy ratelimits

maybe i should've handed esmbot off to someone else 3 years ago

i'm sorry i don't know how much longer i can keep managing this

everything about it is such a goddamn mess that i have little faith will ever be fixed

seeing more and more arguments that using llms will "challenge monopolies" or whatever, when as it stands it is only giving more power to 2 or 3 companies i am not aware of any local llms that are on the level of where the big players were a year or two ago that can run on an average android phone

7 Sept

the "lower end" models i'm aware of that are even close to the big options in terms of output quality still need, like, 12gb free ram minimum keep in mind that apple was still selling macbooks with 8gb of ram at $1700 as recently as 2024

7 Sept

i am putting emphasis on local models because that's the only area where that argument realistically adds up most people do not use local models. most people are unable to run local models. it still costs a lot of money nowadays to get ahold of a system that can run a viable local model

github.comUpdate README - Nitter lives · zedeus/nitter@1428b4c

oh? github.com/zedeus/nitte...

in case it isn't obvious by my posts i am not exactly the biggest fan of the leadership and much of the community surrounding the atproto ecosystem and bluesky, but i don't like most of the posts i see on here that are almost fanfiction-tier in regards to how they talk negatively about it either

please read about things before throwing your entire self into hating them (and if it's been some time, re-read those things as they might have changed) i constantly roll my eyes at posts that technically take the same position i do, but use outdated info/convey it in a terrible, antisocial way

...so i guess the US can just. force any foreign web services provider to shut down just by labeling them a terrorist organization

the reasons don't even have to make sense, they can just make stuff up that sounds like it could be true and use that against you

judging by the quotes/replies this post is proving to be an excellent honeypot

Bluesky Safety@safety.bsky.app

Dogpiling or harassing users is unacceptable. We have taken recent action against accounts for this behavior, and we will be increasing our efforts, consistent with our Community Guidelines.

it's funny how everyone seems to think this is some kind of new policy when you can tell with a 4th-grade reading level that they're talking about enforcing existing guidelines
