That’s incredibly important too! I think people would be hesitant to work for even decent donations if people are assholes, but you’re 100% right. I guess it really comes down to appreciating the people around you

You should appreciate the humans that create this social space by being here and being social, and appreciate the people who create this social space by building the space itself

Thank you for making that point, people being paid makes a huge difference.

And yet, it was created by communists, and populated with all sorts of people, socialists, anarchists, liberals, communists, libertarians, punks (particularly of the solar variety), ai/crypto bros and more

There are very clearly lots of people here who don’t already share your views, and who are here for different reasons, and the antagonistic, wildly presumptive way you’re voicing your perspective just guarantees that exactly zero people come to see your perspective better.

As someone who at least largely identifies with anarchism, please stop being a dick, you’re doing a disservice to the humans you share this space with, and the causes you care about simultaneously. This platform is not exclusively yours just because you identify with its structure for political reasons.

That’s a real shame, and a huge loss.

Friendly reminder that the only way lemmy can be successful is if we create a culture that is enjoyable to be a part of. It sounds like his time here was not so positive, and that’s deeply saddening.

I wish him the best with his future endeavors

Lol 😊

The pic doesnt seem to work for me, but I can see the caption

Aww. That’s really cool!

Interesting watch. It does feel a little superfluous but it’s a nice effect nonetheless!

I respect your take 😊

Hope you have a lovely day my friend :)

Lmao, rip.

I’m not going to downvote you just because we don’t share the same perspective, that’s dumb. I hope you’re having a good day :)

I don’t want to talk to my car though. I see voice recognition as potentially useful for hands free control, which does have meaningful value, but I don’t need an LLM or any form of generative ai for that

I don’t want to talk to the combined informational model of twitter while driving my car. I don’t want to talk to the combined informational model of the rest of the internet either.

Asking for weather or directions or whatever, sure, but that doesn’t need an LLM, and certainly doesn’t benefit from grok specifically

The hat is very cute though.

Lmao

Literally why would anyone want that. Even racist elon musk lovers. Why would anyone want their car to have an LLM.

This looks super cool, I’ll have to make time to come back and read this!!!

For others interested in this topic, this is something that Erin kissanne on Mastodon is very passionate about and her articles are always kick ass

What’s casuing lemmy posts to show up for you? Followed hashtags? Some kind of federation bug?

To my understanding (please take with several grains of salt), some folks felt like it would encourage toxicity since you can essentially mock something someone said without saying it to them directly, while sending your audience to the original post, and I believe for quite some time the plan was intentionally not to add it

On the other hand, I’ve heard folks suggest that by allowing people to have their own isolated conversation about an idea you can potentially limit some of the harmful consequences of people with large audiences or something, but I don’t remember the exact explanation

Personally I’m happy to get quote posts and I’m happy that mastodon is cautious about implementing features that facilitate hostile interactions in the way that major platforms do for engagement

Hopefully someone can chime in with a more informed/detailed explanation, but I thought I’d share what I know in case I’m the only one to reply :)

People who find computers useful should be using computers.

This weird idea from some linux users that only people who see their computer as a hobby and have mastery over them should be allowed to use them, and that computers should be designed exclusively around the needs of computer-as-hobby users, is absolutely nuts.

Its a tool. It should be designed to be useful as possible to anyone who needs such a tool.

Sincerely,
Another linux user who cares about UI/UX and is tired of this kind of junk. It’s a dumb argument, let’s all stop making it please. Linux supports all your “technical user” wildest dreams, let the average people have their features and design considerations too.

I know we all love valve and in many respects they do good for linux and all that jazz but they also pretty much refuse to shut down skins gambling shit that gets kids hooked on gambling, because it makes them money.

They’re a company, and companies aren’t your friends, even when they’re less anti-consumer in some respects than other companies

At least it’s a pretty sight!

I like your username :)

Thats sick!

Awww :(

Yeah, I guess social media has, in effort to build maximum engagement, really shaped a lot of people’s way of engaging with others in deeply toxic ways that will be very hard to untangle and change, now that the social forces that teach us how to act towards one another have been hijacked for monetary gain, and people have spent so much time exposed to that :(

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it gave me some new things to think about, and maybe it will help me set aside my frustration and remember my empathy when dealing with those people, at least more often. Because if I want to enact change I also need to build a critical mass of people who share my perspective.

Sorry for the ludicrous run-on sentence that is the first paragraph lol, I’m to tired to edit more at the moment 😅
