Huh. There is a worrying lack of license information, yes. I didn’t even notice.
Downvotes rewarded with hugs.

Yeah, but we’re not looking at the root cause here. Their purpose is to train energy glutton, error prone “AI” even if experience teaches us that those ML models fuck up more often than confirmation bias allows.
“AI” is a bourgeoise and Capitalist tool and, same as with cryptocurrency, we cannot dismantle the master’s house with the master’s tools. Fuck AI down the drain. Make things with your own minds, your own hands.
This reads like a whole lot of research was boiled down to fit the “barely an article” constraints of a casual news outlet. The outline is all over the place but seems well-intended; it’s just not clear what information we’re supposed to take away from this.
Kudos for mentioning GNU Social, Zot and Diaspora, but I’m not really sure any of them are relevant anymore?
First I’ve heard of Virpus but thanks for the heads up. More than 50% packet loss does not sound like a working infrastructure, much less one that should be marketed to consumers.
I’m with you. 720p unless I can’t find lower than 1080 — for my setup there isn’t much point. The TRaSH guide parameters make my head ache thinking how much I’d be shelling out on bandwidth and storage for no discernible difference on my home theatre.
Nice, I’ll see if it can replace ye olde taskbar standard for me 👍
Oh no, I’m not Wayland ready yet. I still use Openbox for crying out loud 🤣 Tried and true still works for me but I’ll give Rofi a shot!
I’ve had good experience stitching parts together with handbrake. Honestly, it’s much easier than importing to an editing suite (and getting the export settings right 😬).
Yeah, this sounds suspiciously like they’re inching toward the Brave business model.
Wow. All artists throughout history just facedesked at that comment.
Thanks, and also good morning. I thought my bleary eyes had scanned for the international angle but apparently my brain is still asleep.
Soz OP!
America
Welcome to the internet 🙄
Everybody else not from the US raise a hand.
Posted before first morning coffee, lesson learned.
So, car factories have used custom built robots on assembly lines for decades, I want to say close to a half century? Why on earth would anybody want to replace those with humanoid robots other than, I dunno, having severed ties with reality to live out his days in a deluded fantasy?
This is as great example of Musk’s “”“genius”“” as that time he decided to move a Twitter data centre with the help of his own incapable hands, a cousin and some homeless people.
Important difference between you and an ML model: you can enjoy that art (YMMV), the ML never will.
There is a similar distinction between artists and galleries putting artwork to the public, and corporations auto-scraping billions of artwork for a statistical engine to mass produce qualitatively lesser versions.
You forget all the images that “AI” models are trained on without consent or payment. Plus as you say, that training could result in the same artists losing work. Double theft, of IP and future income.
Art theft
I mean, they’re not wrong but … since they’re also hacking people their motives seem kind of mixed.
Oh, like online piracy. Got it! 🤣
You could check out HTML5UP for some simple, well designed site templates. For your needs, maybe something like the Astral template will do?
Agreed. Most people online think having a personal website on their own domain is too much of a hassle, they won’t have the knowledge or time to setup a homelab server.
We need more of the nice people you mention — with the tech knowhow and surplus of time — to maintain community services as alternatives to corporate platforms. I see a few co-op services around where member-owners pay a fee to have access to cloud storage and social platforms; that is one way to ensure the basic upkeep of such a community. I’m not sure how Chatons is financed but they certainly have a wide range of libre and private offerings!
Ouch! Well, Firefox can’t turn to complete shit while we wait, can it?
…can it?
