I still check Reddit, even though I deleted my account for:

- News I miss
- To see who shares my stuff and where

Came across this gem today:

2 comments, one saying my factual title is misleading, another saying it's done for clicks.....sigh.

And then the mods just removed the post. Lol. Fuck reddit.

As I understand it ...

  • Two co-founders of TMTG sued Trump for reducing the number of shares in the IPO, thus reducing the cash value of their shares.
  • Trump has sued those same partners as being responsible for the mismanagement of his great company and the reason the 2023 numbers were bad.
  • Two members of DWAC just pled guilty to insider trading.

... the guy literally can't crime without criming.

And today it came out that he's trying to force out the Judge based on political ties of the Judge's daughter... while benefiting in FL on his documents case by having a Judge he directly appointed in charge and a Supreme Court Judge who's Wife actively was involved in the Jan 6th uprising,

He wants his cake, to eat it, and to have sex with the woman who baked it and to pay for nothing.

I've just finished watching the live action version of the series Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved the original animated. This just knocks the ball right out of the stadium! The special effects are good, the cinematography is good. The scripting and acting is SUPERB! Lots of crying for sad AND happy!

I am more than reluctant to watch anything with the "Avatar" name attached. But maybe.

What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.

Flathub's Unverified Badge Feels Pointless #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/P2PMx_Az-iQ
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Tone, linguistics, semantics. These are a few of my favourite things. Failures to communicate? One of my least favourite things, which happens way too often in the open source space.

I agree about the "Possibly unsafe" messaging. Both Apple and Google just inform you that the app uses certain permissions to gain access to certain features. #flathub should inform the user just that.

In regards to verification, anything not #opensource should get a yellow badge. Outdated Flatpaks should be red.

in reply to Brodie Robertson

While I think Flathub could have used a milder tone, I think the message is still important. There are quite a few questionably packaged packages on FlatHub and I definitely think the user should be aware that it's unofficial when they encounter them.

This also might push developers to make those packages verified. Or maybe the maintainers of flatpaks can work with project devs to improve the quality of the package to make it official.

AI is just today’s buzzword for “outsourcing,” and it comes with the same problems that have plagued outsourced companies and workforces for decades, writes Princeton University sociologist Janet Vertesi:

need help - i am donating a print to an art auction and can't decide which shot of this film swap is best. The audience is folks who might be buying art for their home and is for First Exposures, which is a terrific program that provides youth mentoring through photography. Here's more about the program but if folks can provide feedback on which image they like best I'd appreciate it! #BelieveInFilm #photography

What the AI revolution means for Open Source, Open Tech and Open Societies?

From @socallinuxexpo , Jos explores the challenges and opportunities of AI from the perspective of our open source projects and communities.

Can AI be ethical? Private? Sovereign?
... Yes!

Here's how:

socallinuxexpo.org/scale/21x/p…

in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

, the energy consumption in itself makes running these LLMs unethical. I won't be running that garbage on any of my machines. Glad Nextcloud assured me these things would only show up as plugins, otherwise I'd have to hunt down a new cloud storage platform as a solution for my data storage needs.
in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

Just because the AI runs locally and the models are open source, it is still not clear where all the images and texts come from. I am sure that none of the authors, artists and publishers were asked. This hype is a reflection of our society. We have completely lost sight of reality and what is important and what is not.
