It hits different when the claim is coming from inside. Most of us could see the circular investment scheme, now they’re blaming each other internally for it.

50 billion dollars is a lot for some routers. Sounds more like they fucked up by installing AI – oh oops, SI.

Translation "Please don’t investigate how we make the AI sausage. You won’t like what you see and, legally, it puts me in a bad place. I can give you money!"

I mean, I agree. “content” is extremely an airquote situation, as an abstraction. I also dislike the term, but need some kind of catch-all for describing the ever increasing demand the fediverse has for space and processing. It’s a real problem, though one that many people (not me) are actively working to solve and I’m grateful for that work.

My concern about fediverse space has more to do with inter-connected federation storage issues, such as caching content from other instances. Having seen how even small instances balloon in costs, it has completely scared me away from even attempting to host a small instance. I might have this wrong though, but I’ve heard horror stories about space requirements due to the caching-heavy nature of the federated internet.

I’m a bit confused. Is this the OOT port Ship of Harkinian or a different port?

Size and commercialisation generally go hand in hand. After all, how do you keep something running with infinite users submitting infinite content for free?

This is a big issue for everyone, it’s important that the fediverse understands that size might some day increase the importance of sensible business models or proactive funding initiatives to counter the growth. This doesn’t mean harmful profit models necessarily, but it does mean keeping revenues under control for individually run nodes or for archiving services for old fediverse domains that might not exist forever.

I guess I’ll have to check it out again. Last time I used it a few years ago it just wasn’t exactly right on that front. But if it’s within scope to use it as an image grid, I might provide feedback and changes upstream if it’s close enough to the end result I want.

I’d love linkwarden to have a feature for image-links. I really need a substitute for pinterest that will cache a version of the image locally but still preserve the link to the page in question (so I can find the author/photographer/whathave you).

Unfortunate how bad the last 7 or so years have been market wise for the raspberry pi project. It feels like every time the hardware on one end gets cheaper, some other tech fad squeezes another component price up.

Fair fair. Ih suppose what I mean is that it’s not really reverse engineering so much as it is recollecting from training samples.

I think this is definitely a concern, yes.

I think it’s very likely that these models are effectively being tricked into retrieving source code of projects from memory of seeing the actual source code in the biases. This is why some project are much easier to uncover than others.

This will ultimately be the death of retail stores.

Half the reason anyone wants to go to a store in 2026 is to have a good time shopping in person. If going to the store leads to any chance of a shitty experience? Fuck it dude, I’ll just order online like everyone else I suppose.

Bummer, but I’ll keep mailbox.org in mind.

Praise Jesus! (I guess I’m only half joking)

Does Tuta work with external mail clients like Thunderbird and all that? How does that work vis-a-vis encryption?

I dodged a bullet on proton, but this is something I’d like to know eventually as I feel like changing away from gmail is an inevitability.

I agree but the silver lining here is that more geeks finally see what artists, writers and musicians had been complaining about for years. It took sucking the soul out of gaming and games preservation to finally convince a specific subset of the nerddom that, no, AI actually fucking sucks.

Uh oh, looks like someone’s AI company is running out of money and needs people back on Twitter. 😭
