I’m on peertube.wtf, but some other good instances include MakerTube if you’re art or craft-focused, for example.

Any kind of art or crafts, although if you have sensory issues, you may not like some of the messier media, eg. like any sort of paints, or chalk or charcoal.

I for the longest time as a kid had issues with getting anything goopy on me, for example, although I have since learned to manage that and now any water-based paints are really fun for me to play with and are one of my fave art media, my other faves being crayons, chalk, and oil pastels, but sensory issues with certain materials are something to be aware of, whether they’re managed or not.

Some people may have sensory issues with fumes from solvents used with oil paints as well, for example.

It’s been fine aside from being completely dead.

A Reddit alternative based on ATproto. Basically, it’s to Lemmy, what Bsky or Blacksky is to Mastodon.

No, but I’d think Nooki could’ve funneled in some of Bsky’s userbase since it runs on the same protocol as Bsky, and gotten livelier than it appears to be, like Lemmy is actually active but its competitor over on ATproto, Nooki, is nothing but crickets.

Wouldn’t that efficiency thing largely depend on what silicon you’re using though? Like, for example, if you have an old AM1 board sitting around, those are 25W APUs and shouldn’t use anywhere near that if used as the base for a router.

Meanwhile if you’re using, say, an AM3+ board and an FX-4300 for your router, the FX-4300 is a 95W part and more likely to cost more to run by contrast to, say, the Athlon 5350’s 25W on AM1.

Less competition for Google’s own slop, though, which is bad.

Great if it works, but I seriously doubt it’s going to work.

the megacorps stand wayyy too much to lose here and would fight tooth and nail to prevent anything like this.

• The megacorps could just bribe their way out of it like they do every other form of legal scrutiny.

Proof that Ecosia isn’t really about their ‘eco’ claims when they’re getting their search results from the people who are actively killing the world right now instead of indexing stuff independently.

Ecosia allegedly also gets their search results from Bing, for whatever that’s worth.

I didn’t because I just wasn’t interested at the time, and now with how far universities in my country have fallen in the last 14 years, I feel pretty vindicated in that decision.

Or even Mad Max for that matter, which is the more likely scenario to happen IRL the way things are going currently; Mad Max’s apocalypse is caused by societal collapse due to people fighting over resources, guess what could happen IRL with AI datacenters using up most of the resources right now?

You do not need fancy schools to learn new things.

The one exception to that as I pointed out in my comment, are fields which are subject to regulations and actually do need formal training and licensing, like, as I also pointed out, you’re not getting a CDL through a free course if you want to get into driving semis, for example.

I’m siding with a lot of the other commenters on here, there’s more ways to learn stuff than going back to school; even cheap or in some cases free classes both online and in person are a thing for instance.

The one exception to that claim is anything that’s regulated in some way/needs a license, eg. driving a semi (need a CDL for that), going into the HVAC business (need a license to handle refrigerants), etc, those you need to go to school for, but things which aren’t subject to government regulations on some level can be learned with a free or cheap course.

Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta’s Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.

• NetBSD banned AI code from their codebase as tainted code.

While it is not prohibited to use AI as a learning aid or a development tool (i.e. code completions), extension developers should be able to justify and explain the code they submit, within reason.

Submissions with large amounts of unnecessary code, inconsistent code style, imaginary API usage, comments serving as LLM prompts, or other indications of AI-generated output will be rejected.

• GNOME banned AI code from their extensions.

Although I prefer NetBSD’s stricter ban on AI code over GNOME’s, it’s better than nothing on GNOME’s side.

Also, I hand-drew my pfp unlike one other commenter in here, and the original is pinned on my IRL wall right now, so that should hint at how I personally feel about AI.

Update:

As there seems to have been recent confusion about [AI integration into Firefox], just a quick “official” toot to then pin: we haven’t and won’t support “generative AI” related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it “slipped through”. As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.

• LibreWolf made an official stand against AI recently.

Waterfox also made an official stand against AI a bit after LibreWolf did.
