Looks like the silent majority disagrees with you… Stop convincing yourself of things that aren’t true.

Hey, looks like you forgot to post them so we’ll ignore your comment for now until you do!

It’s time for a fork that’s not under hostile control.

Fork or CEO getting booted out in 3… 2… 1…

Well that explains a lot!

No. People who want the benefit of self housing without worrying about hardware will rent a vps or something simpler. The hard part of hardware isn’t the purchase, it’s the maintenance.

Also, why the separate router?

Seems we are on par with AI after all.

Less functionality as in “unable to open more than one panel at a time”

I stg Windows, every new UI is aggravating half-baked drivel.

(obligatory remark about the fact I mostly use Linux here)

Funnily enough, the reason they switched to those was to use the data to train machine learning (AI) models, just like Google’s recaptcha was originally pictures of words from old, scanned books so they could transcribe all of them “for free” and train their transcription algorithms.

Sam Reich? Did you get a haircut?

It’s fake, sadly. Good reminder not to trust everything people post…

Have you passed their captive portal before turning on the VPN?

Every Lemmy instance can see which other fediverse instances they’re connected to, I’d be satisfied if it scoped to those instance domains. It’s going to be very rare to have a link to a Lemmy/kbin/whatever instance that is not already being followed by one local user, and when it does happen, the first time any local user follows it, it’s fixed again. That covers the 99% of cases better than having to educate every user every time in every thread they innocently post a normal url instead of knowing how to even copy this special url from.

Which, let’s face it, is dumb. Other clients should be able to recognize linked Lemmy instances and handle the click transparently.

Instead, now we have links that can’t be shared outside of Lemmy and links that should only be shared outside of Lemmy.

(I know you said FOSS, but) I’d try Bing Image Creator for such a small job first. It’s free, and you can just tell it to generate a logo with the style you’re looking for.

If that doesn’t suit your needs, you can always fall down the rabbithole of selfhosting Stable Diffusion, but it’s probably more effort than it’s worth.

It takes a special kind of moron to accidentally buy a popular social against your will and still get hoodwinked by disinformation trolls on the platform you now own.

Wonder if the recent antitrust ruling about Google paying for being the default search engine will affect Mozilla’s funding.

I love it, it’s amazing.

I do have the first generation which has a battery drain issue, which has since been fixed.

I always use my hardware for a looong time, but I look forward to only having to replace the main mobo and not the screen or keyboard when I do need an upgrade.

Hate to say it, but Kagi is not great. Both in results and in stewardship.

Despite what others have mentioned, running a different LLM locally, it’s also possible to get ChatGPT to do this sort of stuff by telling it to participate in a “debate exercise” and giving it its talking points.
