Skyblivion is almost there btw, should release this year. Idk why Bethesda would waste their time competing with it.

Some benefits of federation for a system like this is possibility of integrated-into-one-system project comments, friends/subscriptions and user/project search/discovery (also by tags).

What I personally miss in every single one of recommendations in this thread is: they’re all timeline-based, without a good way to showcase and arrange content. When I want to showcase my projects (be it code or art), I’d want them to be structured in arbitrary ways on my profile that make most sense at the moment, and I’d want to be able to rearrange them at any moment. ArtStation gets this right, Github also to some extent - they have pinned projects on your profile that you can showcase and rearrange.

Signups in most platforms are quite hard. Straight up give your phone and do SMS verification, or at least give email and to register that email you will have to provide phone anyway. Captchas nowadays became so hard that even humans struggle with them and it often takes multiple attempts to get it right.

This is the most crazy read on subject in a while. Most articles just talk about hypothetical issues of tomorrow, while this one actually full of today’s problems and even costs of those issues in numbers and hours of pointless extra work. Had no idea it’s already this bad.

So Medium and Substack are similar? And Ghost is also an open-source alternative to Medium as much as it is alternative to Substack?

Never used Substack, can someone please explain how this is different from lets say Medium?

This looks great, I wonder if it’s possible for all this DLSS and similar tech to get rid of severe input lag. No matter how good it looks, I wouldn’t play a shooter with input lag.

For the most common scenarios I personally find CLI very easy to use: I go to the destination folder, right-click “Open in Terminal” and then type yt-dlp linkcopypastedhere. That’s all, multiple sites I used it with didn’t require any extra params. Maybe if you want to customize something, like make your own file naming convention, etc, GUI could be handy.

I had this feeling half a year ago, that’s when I moved to Lemmy. Still have accounts everywhere, just trying to keep them read-only.

Nothing? In practice, if this were to happen on a noticeable scale it would mean Lemmy has gone mainstream. That said, within a federated system, it’s entirely possible to create isolated, defederated webrings - for example, networks consisting solely of invite-based instances. If something like this becomes a necessity, it might lead to formation of multiple such webrings and they might even decide to federate with each other someday.

In terms of comfort definitely boxer shorts, nothing else stands even remotely comparable. In terms of aesthetics, I guess hipster briefs and micro briefs.

Interesting. I immediately see first two replies as LLM, third sound like a generic pre-LLM bot autopost, the last one sounds kinda legit. Because it’s so short and forward, it’s really hard for me to see LLM behind it. I don’t know what they’re talking about though, maybe it’s easier to spot the bot from semantics POV.

gaeng tai pla

Is it the same as “Kaeng tai pla”?

With technology like this, it’s only a matter of time before big players start using it all over the internet, whether for commerce, propaganda, or pushing their agenda. So it’s interesting to observe an amateur trying it right now and sharing their findings. If anything, it might give us a glimpse of what the future holds.

Do you generate replies in a custom way every time, adjusting the prompt and supervising the result, or do you have fully-automatic system? If you do use any sort of manual intervention on per post basis, whatever you’re doing is not going to work as a bot.

With human post-processing it’s definitely more complicated. Bots usually post fully automatic content, without human supervision and editing.

Imo their style of writing is very noticeable. You can obcure that by prompting LLM to deliberately change that, but I think it’s still often noticeable, not only specific wordings, but higher-level structure of replies as well. At least, that’s always been the case for me with ChatGPT. Don’t have much experience with other models.

What I would expect to happen is: their posts quickly start getting many downvotes and comments saying they sound like an AI bot. This, in turn, will make it easy for others to notice and block them individually. Other than that, I’ve never heard of automated solutions to detect LLM posting.

My favorite is: if you disagree, you can always just go to another instance or even create your own. Other than that, I like how, instead of a total score, posts show likes and dislikes separately. This is more of a technical thing than a cultural one, but it has a big impact on making brigading less effective. In general, all these technical decisions make Lemmy very friendly to a variety of cultures and people from across different spectrums of political and other opinions.
