theres hallucinating, and then theres just wishful thinking… a first for ai?

Eh… why does this feel like slimy commercialization of the 'verse?

say it with me slimeballs… must.have.efficient.reach

oh noeeees!

the thing is, lemmy as a platform is kinda restricted in its interaction in the ‘verse. non-threadiverse stuff is hit or miss, if at all. they might have a big ol’ gravity well of users there at lemmy.world, but the platform is kinda meh.

piefed seems like its on a good track, and ill never stop bein an mbin cheerleader

just because my mailgroup has yahoo participants doesnt mean i use yahoo, yahoo

negative. this magazine happens to get its source from a remote lemmy community. my home instance (which is not lemmy) is interacting with lemmy (which is lemmy).

i aint usin lemmy, im just bouncin content

think bigger!

huh? im not usin lemmy

reminds me an old joke where the lone ranger and tonto are surrounded by indians… the ranger says ‘what are we gunna do?’ and tonto says ‘what you mean we, white man?’

lemmy smells funny

lemmy aint the fediverse

to be honest, youre not going to get a lot of sympathy here… cuz no one cares about reddit or what they do to anyone.

ysk that on mbin, your rep points (karma) exist

so proud.

using ‘smells like’, its one of my things… very non-committal.

i moved my mbin instance from one of the more expensive options, amazon, to hetzner coming up on almost a year ago now.

they have some used, dedicated servers that you can get diirt cheap. when they raised all the prices mine went up maybe 3%. and thats after more than halving my monthly cost by moving there in the first place. no big deal.

its clearly their cloudy hardware (scaling) used for ai nonsense that they are pushing rates up on, for those obvious reasons. they dont give a shit who pays and theres lots of stupidly deep ai pockets at the moment

im a simple user

I don’t really like watching things

then this shit aint for you. just because you can do something doesnt mean you have to want to do it.

im old and have been doing this for almost 30 years. long before jellyfin; my kids never suffered commercials, never had to worry about some streaming service going up or down. they never had to care whether some source had the show they wanted. even when away from home, they were streaming my shit.

my very large curated collection may be less random than some iptv streams, but sure as fuck is more reliable, dependable, quality controlled and well, i dont even need to have fucking internet access for my shit (my library) to work for me.

checks on the executive are irrelevant if the branches holding the sticks for those checks literally couldnt be bothered to do their jobs.

the orange turd knows that he can grift the entire american democracy into oblivion far faster than the courts can stop him. speed matters.

they barely able to enforce actual laws now against the orange feces administration, why would new ones matter?

i get it. i ran my own server for 15 years… and i stopped ~ 8 years ago. it was just too annoying between the spam filtering and -todays-new-security-enhancement-

email is the one service im happy to pay someone to do… from a bunker in switzerland. google not required.

…but you cant not use email and function in the technological world of today. email isnt about communication any longer. its about security and authentication.

at least with daves when the task manager went sideways you knew it was serious. i suspect the new architecture prevents it from bein treated special

the confederacy finally won all 3 branches. of course this is happening

personally, this is the kind of laser focused tooling its good for. LLMs are going to be critical to assisting the disabled in many contexts.

you can say whatever the fuck you want, you just cant force people to listen.
