But that was already in the process of changing

But I thought BlueSky was open source and decentralized? /s

EDIT: In case it’s not obvious (as it apparently isn’t to OP) if BlueSky was either of those things then it could not be simply shut down by a CEO.

Is this thing as sketchy as it seems?

Sam Altman and Andreessen Horowitz involvement should be all you need to know. But the reality is probably less dystopian than some people make it out to be. World to me just seems to be Altman trying to sell a solution to the problem that he’s trying to create with OpenAI (chatbots that are indistinguishable from humans).

Non humans yes, non persons…?

The whole point of federation is a variety of moderation styles so it doesn’t really make sense to federate in comments from other communities because it would take away any identity that exists

I noticed on the redditalternatives subreddit whenever someone mentions Lemmy and someone else is like “I didnt like it because of XYZ” someone else will often say “you should look into Piefed its much better”

Which is funny to me but at least it’s working!

Should just be “to prove you are human tell us how many 'r’s are in strawberry”

my instance required me to name a food from star trek lol

It worries me that there are scientists out there who are making studies based on the assumption that an LLM chat bot is a reasonable stand-in for a human in this context (in any context really but that’s another conversation). It’s just not what LLMs are, it’s not what they are designed to do. They’ve fallen for the marketing.

We address this question using a novel method - generative social simulation - that embeds Large Language Models within Agent-Based Models to create socially rich synthetic platforms. We create a minimal platform where agents can post, repost, and follow others. We find that the resulting following-networks reproduce three well-documented dysfunctions: (1) partisan echo chambers; (2) concentrated influence among a small elite; and (3) the amplification of polarized voices - creating a ‘social media prism’ that distorts political discourse.

1. lmao “generative AI chatbots trained on social media behave like social media users”
2. Shame on ArsTechnica they should be better than to publish a study like this.

what is happening in this post

Go with Bazzite, it tries to mimic SteamOS out of the box. Very easy install/setup process (easier than windows).

Bazzite is Fedora Kinoite with some extra stuff, Kinoite might be better for a desktop setup but either one is totally useable for gaming and desktop so don’t overthink it.

That’s all LLM software is, it has no connection to reality, it’s bullshitting 100% of the time. The fact that it is correct mostly, or confident always does not imply that it understands anything it’s saying.

I see, then what you’re asking for is sadly impossible.

Also FWIW I do not have the same issue as you. Not sure why!

Yes, but there are no (cannot be) any content rules that apply to the entire fediverse, the admins of each instance determine what experience their users will have.

Not everyone is seeing the same posts you are seeing, and your instance has no rules on the topic. You could have more luck enacting change by messaging your admins or making a meta post in your instance’s meta community.

I think immutability actually takes away from the confusion and kind of makes the overall experience much more similar to windows where editing system files is something rarely done even among most power users.

Nobody really seems to be pointing out that you are on an instance that does not require the behavior you are requesting.

I would suggest installing Fedora Kinoite, poke around it for 20-30min and if you find it too confusing then just putting windows back.

My point is that it’s not a big decision/commitment. And it’s trivial to undo!

Ah ok, so ignoring Calibre for a moment, what’s the difference between Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web Automated? The ReadMe does not contain a list of the differences.
