@vikingtons@lemmy.world @Kiriko@awful.systems All of the "but I was so polite in this thread" reads like some "I'm not touching you" bullshit.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Is AI detection the biggest scam in the AI bubble?

@womble@infosec.exchange @davidgerard@circumstances.run "We're looking for someone to help us develop a private and secure chat system" oh actually finally a good one "Founded by Anduril alumni" 🚩🚩🚩 Oh you want the signal war crimes chat but without accidental journalists

@catsalad@infosec.exchange Does anyone notice that they have powers or are they too sleepy to use them?

@Hex@kolektiva.social Around 1900 NYC had a population of 4-5 million and about 200k horses https://www.newyorkalmanack.com/2021/02/the-unpleasant-side-of-life-with-horses-in-cities/ In 2020, NYC has a population of almost 9 million and 2 million cars We replaced each single horse with 5 cars in the part of the country with the lowest rate of car ownership, the numbers are probably higher everywhere else. There is absolutely no way that's just replacing horses.

@cstross@wandering.shop I think it's a lot of selection bias. Those who don't want neo feudalism are also those who retired once they hit a reasonable financial goal and everyone left at the top is a weird money hoarder

@futurebird@sauropods.win You definitely could. If you're a generally handy person and have the right tools it's not that hard to make a simple one (or even a complex one if you:re fine with it looking literally rough around the edges)

@shwell1@aus.social @PallasRiot@social.treehouse.systems Making Nazis stop doing Nazi shit is acting like Nazis now?

Figured out how to strap a dolly to the back of my bike to be able to haul a big tent when needed #carryshitolympics

@ascentale@sfba.social @grammasaurus@mastodon.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social A5: My general rule of thumb is when I get my first flat, I buy a new tire but don't install it until I'm getting regular flats

@PaulaToThePeople@climatejustice.social @Lone@climatejustice.social

Generally hashtags are more important here than elsewhere

You can follow hashtags here and any post with that tag that makes it to your home instance (so if it's made or boosted by an account that is followed by someone on climatejustice.social) will get in your timeline.

It's a good way to find new people to follow and get more information on topics that interest you.

@deivudesu@mastodon.social It's also shocking how hard it is to convince people that it doesn't have to be that way

@davidgerard@circumstances.run I don't think I have seen anyone bring up local LLMs outside of saying "but what about local models"

@jvschrag@hachyderm.io Also repaired at least one appliance that they found in a closet or garage

@futurebird@sauropods.win No one says whose heart did the attacking

@grwster@mastodon.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @mattblaze@federate.social @jf_718@mas.to @VATVSLPR@c.im Made hot sauce once in my old apartment with no ventilation and there was definitely something in the air

@skyfaller@jawns.club Parent of an almost 3 year old here who does not own a car and manages to avoid even getting in one for months at a time. I don't post much though so maybe not worth a follow.

A5: All my bikes are very different and each has its own set of use cases:

• Cargo bike for when the kid is with me
• Fixie for rides within city limits
• Gravel/touring bike for when leaving city limits
• Folding bike for travel

@annaecook@mastodon.social At my last job, they kept talking about all of the great AI chat bots which did things that someone had already made a chat bot to do 5 years ago and had it shut down for security reasons (chat bots are an escalation of privileges if they can do things you otherwise need to do 2 factor login for)

@johnrohde@helvede.net @deivudesu@mastodon.social I think another large part is this is what happens when you change moderation from being done by humans (who will do a messy job but tend to at least somewhat take context into account) to machines (which will do a very neat job and moderate exactly what you tell them to whether or not it makes sense)

@jeffjarvis@mastodon.social From day 1 of Trump's second term, the democratic party should have held a weekly or even daily press conference debunking every lie since the last one. Just get someone charismatic to put in front of a camera and a team of fact checkers and researchers to look up the claims and release it as little clips on social media as well as on cable TV. I have heard so many people say variants of this idea and it is mind boggling that they haven't even tried anything like it.

The 2 year old looking over my shoulder as I read an article and notices things moving: "What's that?" "It's an ad" "What are ads for?" Fuck, now I have to explain capitalism

@davidgerard@circumstances.run This feels very similar to the job recruitment emails that I get. Except occasionally there are also some asking me if I want to help enable war crimes

@BriBear@blahaj.zone I enjoy a few webcomics and other art accounts that post here. I have trouble distilling each into a few words but scrolling through the media tab on their profiles will give you the gist of what they make: @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org@DavidZinn@warandpeas@mastodon.social@bisonrimant@piaille.fr@JauntyArt@crispsandwi.ch

@werdahias@pleroma.debian.social

While enforcement could be a challenge, this is a statement of intent by the Debian community, and we trust this community to adhere to it in good faith.

Nice, I still expect you to get a lot of "how will you enforce this" gotcha style questions from people who don't read past the title

@drsbaitso@infosec.exchange @RickiTarr@beige.party Also if you believe the clear bullshit about a silent majority who are with the christofascists (despite all evidence pointing to an extremely loud minority)

@drsbaitso@infosec.exchange @RickiTarr@beige.party I wonder if they see it as inevitable and want to be in the back of the line rather than the front

@PeterGray@mastodon.green @t3rcermillenium@mastodon.social @ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk They tend to be fans of stochastic terrorism if you want to put that in the acronym too

@iagox86@infosec.exchange Do you know people in a local bike club? Most people I know who had success recovering a stolen bike did it with backup.

@alice@lgbtqia.space Geese are on nextdoor, complaining about everyone who's anywhere near their home

@xgranade@wandering.shop Starting a timer to see how long until someone comes in talking about local models. I've noticed that I only ever hear them mentioned in response to LLM criticism and never as a "hey look at this cool thing I made"

@Ashedryden@xoxo.zone I find that whole debate stupid. For most of human history the way most people encountered stories was through oral tradition. Reading symbols on a page to get a story existed for a while but wasn't really an expectation until printing presses. I would argue that an audiobook is not reading because the mechanics are different (specifically around pacing yourself and skimming/rereading paragraphs etc.) but also that reading is not special and that's where the debate is.

@zimzat@mastodon.social @DemocracyMattersALot@mstdn.social @hadeny@mastodon.social DC feels like it needs a bunch of asterisks in this list

@shwell1@aus.social @PallasRiot@social.treehouse.systems People can do both.

@SemAntiKast@openbiblio.social @Havoc_online@mastodon.social If you open an edited post, it should say "last edited" somewhere on the bottom, that is clickable.

@xxv@mastodon.social I can almost hear "moom" when looking at this picture

@dave@burnout.cafe @stux@mstdn.social I clicked through to the user being harassed and realized it was someone who is definitely worth following so at least some good came out of it Our instance hasn't had any sign ups from this asshole yet but it's probably coming soon

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com Add that to the evidence pile for the US being run by a death cult

@blogdiva@mastodon.social Goddamn it just the mention of that world cup is enough to get Waka Waka stuck in my head

@aadeacon@mastodon.social @petergleick@fediscience.org My money's on "both, repeatedly"

@jonny@neuromatch.social I see a DVD and an anti DVD about to annihilate. What does that annihilation radiation look like?

@akamran@indieweb.social @darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @jvschrag@hachyderm.io @TrueNorthSpice@mastodon.world Oh wow this looks very useful for mending, thank you.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai @gcvsa@mstdn.plus @oheso@ieji.de @ascentale@sfba.social @edd@freeradical.zone @bikenite@fedigroups.social I just got back from the grocery store where the 2 year old flipped out because we grabbed a coconut water that wasn't the "Mostly Harmless" brand.

RE: https://masto.nyc/@gbargoud/116518727035996423 Probably the last one until September unless someone else wants to run them during August. #nyc #brooklyn #repaircafe

@dave@burnout.cafe @stux@mstdn.social We mostly have factories and brands from India and Abu Dhabi trying to get a fediverse presence going and Russian bot farms

@ascentale@sfba.social @plactagonic@f.cz @bikenite@fedigroups.social A3: we were about to start a camping trip when @josephfrazier@mastodon.sdf.org 's rear derailleur would not shift correctly. After looking at it I realized that the backstop(is that the right term?) was broken and found a twig nearby that was the right thickness to shove it in there. Told him regularly to get it properly fixed but it stayed in there for years only to pop out when running away from cops shutting down a party one night.

@Ashedryden@xoxo.zone Basically if someone says "I read this book" (i.e. I processed/consumed but I hate that word this story) and meant they listened to the audiobook, that makes sense to me but if someone says "I'm going to go read" it seems a bit odd to me compared to "I'm going to listen to a book" since the action they will be doing is completely different even if it has the same outcome Does that make sense?
