Remember #ChatTJB, the "alternative" to #ChatGPT where people reply to questions posted by other users? Well, somebody already ruined it for us because my work's firewall already blocked due to, of all the possible reasons, "arms and bombs"

When people ask me "why did you bother setting up Nextcloud at home, if Google Docs is free?" this is one of the many reasons why:


:boosts_ok_gay: PSA: Apparently google trains or indexes their AI on your PRIVATE Google Drive Documents:

(TLDR; Indie dev had their audience ask Google highly specific questions about future content of their game, and it spat out an exact name of an upcoming enemy type. Furthermore it listed scrapped ideas and ideas that *only* existed in their *private* Google Docs.)

Problem: many #NFT images are hosted separately from the blockchain due to their size, and that has already caused many of them to be affected by link-rot
Solution: each NFT encodes an unique prompt to regenerate the image in your #LLM engine of choice

I will never cease to be amused that the solution to the issue of having smartphones display images at the right orientation and brightness, was to basically turn them into the Tricorder from Star Trek and slap several scientifically useful sensors as standard equipment
That's a diplomatic way for #eBay to tell #Gamestop "we both know that's a bluff, and even if it wasn't a bluff it's still a laughable offer" : prnewswire.com/news-releases/ebay-rejects-unsolicited-proposal-from-gamestop-302769000.html

Terrible moment to learn that #Bonfire, the up-and-coming #ActivityPub implementation, apparently has a hard dependency on #AVX instructions that my home server's chipset physically lacks. I'd have to spend upwards of $400 just to replace my server in order to test it, sigh... @Bonfire

Which dependency did you see on AVX? our markdown renderer for example uses it when available but has a fallback which should be enabled automatically when not available (otherwise you can force it with `MDEX_USE_LEGACY_ARTIFACTS=true`. In any case please provide more info or open a bug report.
in reply to Bonfire
@Bonfire When I tried to run the default Bonfire executables on my device, it crashed with a segfault, and investigating further it seems to be caused because my device lacks AVX instructions. Maybe there's some flag I can use to manually build without AVX support? I was using the version shipped by YunoHost: github.com/YunoHost-Apps/bonfire_ynh/

Tired: websites using #GenAI to insert advertisements in existing footage a la Cerveza Cristal

Wired: us having to run a local LLM specifically to revert those changes and view the "original" content, or as close at it's possible to do so

¿Se acuerdan de una vez que comenté del canal que hacía #fandub (doblaje aficionado) en #náhuatl ? Pues encontré uno que hace doblaje en #quechua / #kichwa y qué mejor uso para ello que una película ambientada en el imperio del Tawantisuyu: youtube.com/watch?v=KHleCmeTLwU
What peeves me the most about the Harvest Moon vs. Story of Seasons trademark debate, is that neither of them properly translates the original Japanese name of the series - 牧場物語 (Bokujou Monogatari), which means "Ranch Story". Why didn't Marvelous take the chance to fix the mistranslation on full?
