These guys have been at it for several years now. Check out their GitHub, look at the components.

I’m trying to modify their dockerfile a bit so it runs in my container manager and uses my reverse proxy, instead of the one they included, and it creates more containers for this one application than I have for all my other projects combined.

All of which is to say: “pretty hard” is the answer. It is pretty damn hard to build this stuff.

Just move back to the flood plain every time your house gets swept away, rebuild on the side of the volcano every eruption, and keep moving to proprietary platforms every time one enshittifies. Right?

Wrong. You’re here on the fediverse because you know that’s wrong. We need an alternative, but right now they’re all pretty tough to set up by ourselves. For example, I’m once again working on getting revolt/stoat running, and it’s pain (probably mostly due to my environment, I might give up and put it on its own machine).

The more reason to abandon them, IMO, when they try to hold those communities hostage. Discord needs us, not the other way around. Without them, we find other ways to talk to our people. Without us, they don’t have a business.

My logic is:

a.) Two QR codes could confuse some scanners… or some people

b.) In the vast majority of cases, it’s faster to type the URL than it is to scan a QR code to go there.

But sure, there’s no reason you can’t do both! And if you do, they should definitely be labelled. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 😅

Did the QR go to their website or did it have their vcard on it? I do the latter, and the former annoys the hell out of me, because it’s way harder to type a bunch of contact info than to type a fckin URL.

Also yes, this means I have business cards. I don’t use them much but they’re handy for leaving with other business owners in case they want to contact me (hopefully, to order!).

Insult an artist by offering it to them for a commission.

I saw a post about Upscrolled and commented that people should stop joining centralised social media because they all end up the same way, and I got a downvote. On Lemmy.

My friends were all excited about bluesky when that launched, and I told them to join the fediverse because bluesky was just Early Twitter. They didn’t listen, then bluesky welcomed ICE. Now they’re excited about upscrolled, and I told them to join the Fediverse, and they still aren’t listening.

All of which is to say, I have no fuckin idea my guy. People are weird.

So you get a notification, spacelord suggested Hereditas: https://github.com/ItalyPaleAle/hereditas

Not sure if it’s the same one OP is thinking of, though.

Edit: also, from further down: https://github.com/potatoqualitee/eol-dr

I’m editing my response, 'cause you know what? You don’t know anything about me, my business, or my ethics. You have no standing to judge my character, and based on the fact that you have anyway, I don’t care to know anything else about you or engage with you further.

Yes, that is indeed the fact I was downplaying as “minor”. I have an even bigger target on my back, and I’m a lot less mobile with all my assets tied up like this.

The law is a funny creature. I own a business myself (just started, actually!) and it would suck to be brought up on charges I have no idea about but I’m being held personally liable for. I’m grateful for the LLC protection in that case. Of course, I’m also not planning on committing any crimes, nor having my business commit crimes, so it’s a minor worry. Really only important in the event the law gets weaponised against the people, say for example by a foreign asset in high office… 😬

Limited liability companies are “limited” in the sense that there are limitations on the responsibilities of the members of the corporation. The CEO can’t be held personally liable for the actions of the company, for example; their underlings could have been responsible and kept the leader in the dark.

However, there’s this interesting legal standard wherein it is possible to “pierce the corporate veil” and hold corporate leadership personally liable for illegal actions their company took, if you can show that by all reasonable standards they must or should have known about the illegal activity.

Anyway Elon has been elbow-deep in the inner workings of Xitter for years now, by his own admission, right? Really getting in there to tinker and build new stuff, like Grok and its image generation tools. Seems like he knows an awful lot about how that works. An awful lot.

It’s a very nice concept to be able to dump a shitload of knowledge into a folder, look at “processing…” for a few seconds, then ask questions to get exactly what you’re looking for out of it rather than having to go digging through the mound of information and without having to worry that the computer just threw in a few made up facts for giggles. The idea is that the dumping happens over time mostly, allowing you to quickly find buried information from years ago with a few relevant queries.

One thing I’d do with this is dump all my emails into it, from across all my accounts. That might save me having to search keywords in 8+ accounts over 4-5 different platforms every so often…

It also might have been useful in a lawsuit I prosecuted a few years ago. Instead of going through two years of encrypted messages by hand to pull out relevant excerpts with context, I could have exported the lot and just asked for the information. If it worked it could have saved me months (I spent a few hours after work every night screenshotting, dating the screenshots in chronological order, then I’ve that was done I kept a spreadsheet that I filled with relevant excerpts and links to the screenshots, by reading every single screenshot… it was a lot).

Exactly what it says, what’s confusing about it? The problem with LLMs is that they bullshit; the problem with LLMs bullshitting is that you have to check everything they say, they are not trustworthy - severely limiting the utility. So, don’t trust LLMs. God meanwhile is assumed to be the paragon of honesty, and thus completely trustworthy, so would be the only entity to be trusted implicitly.

This works even if you don’t believe in god, like me: trust nobody, everyone must bring data if they want me to trust what they say.

I was responding when you posted that, so I didn’t see it, and you didn’t respond to me, so if you hadn’t said that I might not have seen it at all. And you didn’t bother to look before responding to me because…?

Moreover, I did you a favour by responding with relevant information instead of just telling you to educate yourself, and you want to act like I’m an asshole for pointing out why your question seemed disingenuous? Cool, cheers.

Autism isn’t a “mental state”, it is structural differences in the brain. Being included in the DSM doesn’t automatically classify something as a mental illness, the DSM is published by a single body, the APA. Other professional individuals and organisations have opinions on that: https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/the-concept-of-mental-illness-and-why-the-dsm-approach-is-wrong

This seems incredibly disingenuous when you can just go search the internet for the definition, and why autism isn’t a classified as mental illness, but sure, I’ll humour you.

“Autism” is a spectrum of developmental disorders that stem from those brain structure differences I mentioned. An illness is when something is wrong. Not just different, wrong. There’s nothing “wrong” in an autistic person; autism is not a disease or sickness caused by some outside force like a virus or bacteria or drug; it’s not transmissible, and it cannot be developed post hoc (meaning you can’t acquire autism, you’re born with it). There’s no innate reduction in function. It can’t be treated or cured; the symptoms of the mental illnesses caused by dealing with neurotypicals can, but again those aren’t something we’re born with; those are acquired.

At the root of it, we just process information differently than a neurotypical person due to our brains growing differently. It’s like saying ARM is “silicon illness” because it’s not x86_64.

My only correction would be that autism isn’t a mental illness. It’s a difference in brain structure - synaptic density seems to play a significant role (https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/a-key-brain-difference-linked-to-autism-is-found-for-the-first-time-in-living-people/).

“Eccentric” would indeed have been the word, even as late as the 80s. And that’s just men; women often present symptoms differently, or different symptoms entirely and even today ASD can go unnoticed for much longer in young women.

Thank God you asked us first, or you might end up looking like you opened the Ark of the Covenant.

Hound the landlord; this is a habitability issue and interferes with the quiet enjoyment of your residence… A lawyer would love to help convince anyone who gives you shit about fixing it.
