I’m just some guy, you know.
The goal was to attract Twitter refugees. No ads helps sell the “greener pastures” the users were looking for.
Once those users are comfortable, Threads can do whatever it wants. They know how much it took to get Twitter users to leave Twitter.
People acting like Meta launched Threads out of the kindness of Zuck’s heart are dumb as fuck. Threads has the same goal as Facebook: to make money selling your eyeballs to advertisers and your metadata to data brokers.
The bridge is necessary because BlueSky and Mastodon cannot federate, and they never will be able to. ActivityPub and ATProto are different protocols.
Those aren’t rumors. The Lemmy repo is quite open about this. Lemmy’s devs are part of the Tankie problem here.
Honestly, Kbin and Mbin are looking very attractive, not being run by extremists. Lemmy, as a product, is dragged down by the Tankies that make it - just as Pleroma (a Mastodon alternative) is dragged down by the Neo-Nazis that make it.
Don’t fall for it. Read their privacy policy.
They keep your data in the cloud and share it with third parties, including advertisers.
Pen and paper doesn’t snitch.
We can conclude: that photo isn’t AI-generated. You can’t get an AI system to generate photos of an existing location; it’s just not possible given the current state of the art.
That’s a poor conclusion. A similar image could be created using masks and AI inpainting. You could take a photo on a rainy day and add in the disaster components using GenAI.
That’s definitely not the case in this scenario, but we shouldn’t rely on things like verifying real-world locations to assume that GenAI wasn’t involved in making a photo.
I mean, now that we know the addresses of people like Nick Fuentes and Matt Walsh, we should be able to figure out everywhere else they go too.
If we want to find the addresses of other notable fascists, just keep track when/where they’re seen publicly until you figure out which device on the map is theirs, then see where they go at night.
It actually has a pretty interesting history. It was huge in the 2000’s. Started as a Zine in the 80’s.

Do you really think that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump would be equally bad on this issue? Why?
“Open Source” is mostly the right term. AI isn’t code, so there’s no source code to open up. If you provide the dataset you trained off of, and open up the code used to train the model, that’s pretty close.
Otherwise, we need to consider “open weights” and “free use” to be more accurate terms.
For example, ChatGPT 3+ in undeniably closed/proprietary. You can’t download the model and run it on your own hardware. The dataset used to train it is a trade secret. You have to agree to all of OpenAI’s terms to use it.
LLaMa is way more open. The dataset is largely known (though no public master copy exists). The code used to train is open source. You can download the model for local use, and train new models based off of the weights of the base model. The license allows all of this.
It’s just not a 1:1 equivalent to open source software. It’s basically the equivalent of royalty free media, but with big collections of conceptual weights.
You still think there’s going to be another election, huh?
For thoose who don’t understand I’m a chronic emotional abuser, like I don’t outright threaten to kill myself but everyone around me knows I’m always on the verge to sucide. I’m legitimately a toxic horrible person that holds my friends hostage.
I know this is gonna sound crazy, but have you considered that you should stop doing that? If you’re deliberately acting suicidal to manipulate people, that’s fucked up, but it does tend to work to some degree. The reason everyone is so fake to you is because you’re fake to them. If you’re going to act like you’re always on the brink of suicide, so will others.
Why manipulate people to treat you in a way that you don’t want to be treated? That can’t be worth the time and effort.
You’re the psyop. You created the conditions for the way people act around you. You effectively manipulated the people around you to pity and infantalize you because you act like a wounded animal.
Volunteer overseas for the next 4 years. Teach English or something.
I actually disagree with both being on social media, and leaving, so I’m choosing the third option of joining a fake social media website that doesn’t actually connect you to anyone else, but it has all the features I would want if it did.
100PB on i2p is a funny idea, but it’s not necessarily a bad one.
“Sure, Republicans killed a million Iraqis chasing fake WMDs, but I’m voting against the Democrat because she isn’t sufficiently outraged about Israel killing 40k Palestinians.”
Americans need to clean up their own shit before assuming their self-assigned role as world police.
I have a 60TB media collection, so this would end up costing $600/month.
Instead, I back all my media up to LTO-6 tapes, and store them at a storage unit.
LTO-6 drive: $400 10x LTO-6 tapes (62.5TB): $200 Small off-site storage unit: $30/month
