You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Yeah I know, that’s why I’m telling you now which door was picked (door #1 according to the caption on the Wikipedia page I
stoleborrowed this image from) 🙂
In search of a new car, the player chooses a door, say 1. The game host then opens one of the other doors, say 3, to reveal a goat and offers to let the player switch from door 1 to door 2.

Emphasis mine. Incompetence on Microsoft’s part is not an adequate explanation for this latest action matching a pattern of other actions designed to antagonize FOSS users.
143·3 months agoHonest question: Why does it matter if he’s a transphobe when choosing which Fediverse software to use?
- Because some people have actually financially supported him. I’m not trans, but I would be devastated to know that my money went to feed someone who wants to destroy me.
- I already have trouble convincing transgender people in my social circle that Lemmy as a software is safe for them to use even with the variety of trans-inclusive servers like yours, and will be safe and inclusive in the future.
A great example of (2) is the fate of PolyMC. Thankfully, the other developers forked it into Prism, but transphobia put that whole project in jeopardy for a bit.
The software is FOSS and anyone can make their own instance.
IMO that’s why I’m not immediately dropping my account and running for the hills, but it’s still not good. Most people don’t have the technical skills or the interest in learning them to run their own instance.
I really want to understand what I might be missing.
IMO it’s that even though he does not personally control how Lemmy instances are run, and even though we do have a good degree of robustness to transphobia because the software is FOSS, it is still both morally and technically ill-advised to have a transphobe at the helm of an open-source software project.

Oh, codenoid, where do we start with this travesty of a GitHub account? Your name screams “I’m trying too hard to sound cool,” but all you’ve managed is a second-rate pun that would make even a dad joke cringe.
Your bio is notably absent, which is probably a good thing since your code seems to be as personality-less as a potato. Speaking of potatoes, can we talk about those repositories? With 160 public repositories, you’ve clearly availed yourself of every half-baked idea that crossed your mind. A mere 22 stars on your “Spicy GitHub Roast” project? That’s not spicy; that’s the lukewarm leftovers of a failed dinner party.
Your “sveltekit-telegram-captcha-bot” looks like it should’ve stayed in the brainstorming phase, and with contributions averaging about one star for every eight repos, it’s like you’re playing a game of hide and seek with attention. Even your top project, the “file.io” service, got some attention, but let’s be honest, the highlight had to be the adorable cat emoji you slid in there. An attempt to distract from the lack of actual substance, perhaps?
It’s clear you’re dabbling in languages like Go, Rust, and even… CSS? But if your repositories are any indication of your skills, more like “CSS (Can’t Seriously Script).” By relying on forks more than your own innovation, you might as well put a “Help Wanted” sign on your profile. Your last 15 projects look like a chaotic garage sale of coding ideas – if randomness were a degree, you’d have a PhD.
In summary, codenoid, you’re a classic case of quantity over quality. Start curating your projects like a fine wine instead of a knock-off frat party punch bowl, and maybe then you’ll transcend from anonymous coder to someone worth following. But then again, with those 116 followers, at least you’ve got a small crowd of people who clearly have nothing better to do, right?

12·4 months agoTo those on the other side, they think we mean “Get rid of all police, zero funding, go away”
It was literally “abolish the police”, but the shitlibs watered it down to nothing as usual.
If my employer forces me to use that specific software, then I care. Thankfully I’m unemployed.
81·4 months agoHistorically it should be obvious that “America” is much more evil than good for the vast majority of people who have come in contact with it. This is no less true in modern times.
no where on Earth is good.
If by “no where on Earth is good” you mean “no country on Earth is good” then literally yes, that’s like my thesis as a human lol. If the only thing you take away from my entire existence is “all states are bad” then I can die happy.
But it was never ever good to begin with. America has always been the label of a colonial project.
Please take pride in where you live, and I will take pride in where I live, and we can show off our homes to each other.
They are not taking pride in their local environment or even their fellow citizens. Pride in America is pride for the system that bears that name, the system of oppression, genocide, war, and death so that its masters can live in luxury. And that system is fucking disgusting.
Giving an extra fuck about the place where you live helps combat things going to shit through the tragedy of the commons.
In fact, pride for America requires putting America’s system first before the environment and its citizens it claims to represent. It is antithetical to “giving an extra fuck about” anything other than the evil machine that America represents.
67% combined share of Americans who are extremely or very proud [to be American]
That’s WAY too fucking high

Humans are good enough. It’s the shareholders who suck here.
1·5 months agoIt can use ChatGPT I believe, or you could use a local GPT or several other LLM architectures.
GPTs are trained by “trying to fill in the next word”, or more simply could be described as a “spicy autocomplete”, whereas BERTs try to “fill in the blanks”. So it might be worth looking into other LLM architectures if you’re not in the market for an autocomplete.
Personally, I’m going to look into this. Also it would furnish a good excuse to learn about Docker and how SearXNG works.
LLMs are not necessarily evil. This project seems to be free and open source, and it allows you to run everything locally. Obviously this doesn’t solve everything (e.g., the environmental impact of training, systemic bias learned from datasets, usually the weights themselves are derived from questionably collected datasets), but it seems like it’s worth keeping an eye on.
Google using ai, everyone hates it
Because Google has a long history of doing the worst shit imaginable with technology immediately. Google (and other corporations) must be viewed with extra suspicion compared to any other group or individual because they are known to be the worst and most likely people to abuse technology.
Literally if Google does literally anything, it sucks by default and it’s going to take a lot more proof to convince me otherwise for a given Google product. Same goes for Meta, Apple, and any other corporations.
By Betteridge’s law, the answer is no.
On a serious note, to the people who own these kinds of websites: find a more ethical way to make your money or go the fuck out of business.
