@grok is this true

well, I don’t think people would actually move platforms if that happened. reddit did some stuff that everyone hated and it’s still absolutely massive while the alternative, Lemmy, is small af. that’s not even considering the difficulty of making an alternative to YouTube.

They’re eventually gonna start banning accounts for this and then requiring login to view YouTube.

why is this infographic AI generated and where are the pixels

Im surely not the only one who thinks this article is ai generated? it spams the exact same structure and has the typical smells

the linux kernel is on that list, bro it’s time to switch!

“Versus” videos or articles in general seem to be especially susceptible to being awful garbage

is this really a problem? if you don’t make a Zed account (this is for their paid services) you don’t have to agree to any TOS. The editor remains untouched.

AVIF is also great! if for some reason you don’t like webp because google makes it, AVIF uses AV1 which is an open codec.

it’s also much smaller. great for web graphics

anyone gonna cop the $1500 hour session for agentic engineering

i swear 97% of openclaw hype is bots

thanks to the beauty of mixture-of-experte models i can shove a q2 quant of this into my 8gb vram

yes, i posted that screenshot publicly only after changing the password

Infinite scrolling is optional and also a feature the majority of users (not hyper specific tech nerds) want. If we are to have any hope of bringing the average social media user onto these platforms, we have to design it for them. Most of the addictiveness comes from the algorithm (lemmy lacks a personalized one), not necessarily the infinite scrolling itself

the extremely concerning thing is that I changed the password after leaking that screenshot. I have no idea how OP logged into it, it signals to me a Lemmy bug of some sort

Don’t link p.lemmy.world. it’s well over a year out of date.

phtn.app probably looks a bit less suspicious, and also lets you use any Lemmy/Piefed instance.

You could say it as “phtn.app is a web portal for the fediverse” or something like that because the concept of web apps is confusing to many

if anything people are probably gonna jump to some platform like https://skylight.social/ (not endorsement it actually looks pretty awful in its current state). ATProto platforms tend to get astronomically higher user counts even if in practice ending up rather centralized. if i tell an ex-twitter user to check out Mastodon and just Federate an ActivityPub Instance Decentralize Free Open Source Interconnected they’re gonna zone out. versus telling them to join bluesky @ bsky.app. to everyone who mentions Loops, do you actually use it? there are a TOTAL of ~700 posts on the main instance currently, and half of them are posts about “we should post more”.

This does sound like it was written by an off the shelf LLM. You can’t just rely on em dashes anymore, most LLMs don’t spam those anymore.

When you tell a modern LLM to write a post like this, it’ll use a very LinkedIn-esque tone. It’ll spam short, active sentences, often preceded by a colon:

Document your setup. Write guides. Make it easier for the next person. Run services for friends and family, not just yourself. Contribute to projects that build this infrastructure. Support municipal and community network alternatives.

“Not this, but that” and the “rule of 3” are getting less useful as tells, but they are absolutely littered everywhere in this post.

When you run Nextcloud, you’re not just protecting your files from Google - you’re creating a node in a network they can’t access.

I quote this formatting as a joke for obvious LLM writing. I’ve never seen human writing with more than 3 of these in a single post.

My guess is that this was written by Claude since it stays rather personally neutral if you don’t guide it that way.

github also has the slowest, most unresponsive web interface ive ever used. it’s genuinely impressive how they made a web app so slow

internet explorer bro
