Yes, exactly why I shared it here. There is an opportunity to educate.

What's happened to Facebook should make it clear that these platforms don't care what the content is as long as the advertisers will still pay.

Correct me if I'm wrong but what you're describing still sounds like a probabilistic output, right? Meaning it's not the same output every time (meaning it can't actually be doing math).

That's why this community exists to educate them!

You’re not thinking critically when you start from a conclusion.

Agreed

That’s the opposite of critical thinking.

Agreed

That’s literally just continuing to believe and not question something.

Agreed

Did you write this with GPT? Skepticism and critical thinking are not biases.

That's why I linked it here!

Same, I was not a Twitter user but the user base did seem generally more educated and I expected them to more easily identify the problem. It's not even like Twitter was some pleasant, socially responsible place when Jack Dorsey ran it. It was terrible and platformed all sorts of terrible people and the media pointed that out constantly.

Bluesky is centralized service operated by a for profit company

I wish counter.social would federate. It would make me feel more comfortable recommending them.

I know right? Like it or not reddit is still the gravitational center...

If the management on BlueSky is getting bad users could just move to another instance right? ...Right?

/s if it's not obvious

 

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.

 

I'm trying out LineageOS Android TV for Raspberry Pi 5. There is an option for HDMI-CEC in the menus, but nothing I do can get it working.

I know it's not the Pi, my TV, or my cables because CEC worked immediately with LibreELEC.

The Pi will go into sleep mode when the TV shuts off (even when the setting for that is disabled) so I can tell that something is being communicated. But I don't seem to have any control over it.

Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting? I've tried power cycling the TV and Pi, unplugging cables, etc.

 

Will LineageOS, Graphene and /e/OS be affected by Google's changes to prevent sideloading? Is UbuntuTouch or Sailfish OS promising in the long term?

I understand that right now we are in a bad place, but in your opinion, what OS do you think people who care about freedom should rally around?

 

Not my OC I brazenly stole from @moregaghplease@startrek.website on reddit

 

Yes I know I'm behind everyone else!

First the away team spends a long time debating if they should proceed or... step outside for five seconds to call the ship. They ultimately decide that stepping outside for five seconds is not feasible.

But then literally one minute later Ensign Gamble is somehow beamed up. Presumably they must have called the ship to do this? Did they just... leave out the part about the (now obvious and real) danger? Was there a scene where Pike said "ok yeah his eyes are gone but you can keep going"?

Then later in the episode the away team spends a long time talking about trust and friendship while debating if they should walk on an invisible walkway instead of just like, I don't know, tapping it lightly with their toe or throwing a pebble on it first?

The Ensign Gamble B-plot was good and freaky and featured some great acting by everyone involved. But the A plot felt like it was vibe-scripted! I love SNW but come on.
