I guess I'm technically gen z, even if on the older side, but I think guitars are cool. And a sample size of one is perfect.

Has anybody found the image in full res? I checked the photographer's website, but it doesn't seem to be there. I wonder if he didn't publish it.

I don't know what the answer to your question is, but I love the way tekst is spelt.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yeah, I speak German, but in German it's spelt Text.

I can smell ants, but I dont think they smell that bad. The smell is hardly ever strong enough to be unpleasant. Also, in the region of the world I live in, if you start smelling ants but don't see them anywhere, it means it's gonna rain.

Where steam?

@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

I know, it's just that you posted this in reference to the old steam colour scheme, but there's no steam in the screenshot, would be cool if you had steam running with the throwback skin.

Eh, bluesky is another federated solution, that turned out to be quite similar to activitypub. Perhaps not in implementation, but in user experience. And after having used activitypub for quite a while, I don't think it is the solution to decentralised social media.

I've been really enjoying nostr, even though it doesn't have the content or user base of the fediverse just yet.

Downvoted for stating an opinion, huh? Great, feels like I'm back on reddit.

Instead of downvoting because you disagree, please reply to my comment with the reason.

Complexity to new users is definitely not better on nostr, just as confusing if not worse, currently. The reason I think nostr is on a better track than AP, is because I came to AP running from problems that I had on reddit, only to find the same problems on a smaller scale. Here's what I can think of off the top of my head:

  • Variety of clientes
    • Both AP and nostr fix this.
  • Centralised power
    • Nostr fixes this, by making it so that your identity is usable anywhere.
    • AP kinda fixes this, but doesn't go far enough. If the admin of your instance decides to not federate with another instance, you have no say in that. Your only option is to migrate to another instance, and since AP doesn't have nomadic identities, you have to start from scratch. Mastodon's export feature doesn't go far enough.
  • Disagreement with mods
    • Nostr fixes this by offloading modding to individual users. You chose to mute what you dont want to see. A highly requested feature here on Lemmy.
    • AP kinda fixes this, where if you don't agree with mods, you can start a different community, or a similar community on a different instance, but then you have the same problem as with centralised power, and are at the mercy of admins.

To be truly sovereign on AP, you gotta run your own instance, which is very impractical, and lacks nomadic identities. With nostr, you own your identity, because your identity is just a cryptographic key, which can be used anywhere, on any node.

To be clear, I think AP is a clear improvement over centralised services, thus why I still use it. I won't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I just think nostr is the better protocol to build decentralised services on top of.

@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

I think having many clients is a good thing. The reddit API debacle was the straw that broke the camel's back for me, and got me to move away from centralised services.

Actually I think the better moderation structure that comes with AP is a plus point.

I can see how some people would prefer that, but Nostr also has a solution to this need. Not as good an experience as AP, if that's specifically what you're looking for, but nonetheless. If you want a curated, modded and filtered experience, you can just connect on to nostr nodes that filter heavily.

Biggest strength of AP in my eyes is that it's a W3C standard.

I thought this when I came to AP at first too, but it's been a W3C standard for a long time, and is still very niche.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

I meant niche in terms of amount of users, not implementations.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

I wrote a long answer to this, but forgot to post and lost it :(. But here's what I wanted to say:

I forgot about Threads, that's indeed a big user base.

Just because the standard is managed by the W3C doesn't mean they'll do a good job of managing it, but it's probably more positive than negative.

I don't know enough about how the W3C is organised and accepts contributions, but wasn't one of the concerns of many AP users when threads announced their AP integration, that threads would immediately become a big player and essentially EEE AP? Tbh, I still fear that.

I'm enjoying this conversation, it's brought my hopes for AP a bit higher, I hope I've managed to convince you that nostr is something to keep an eye on.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

Sure Meta will probably extend AP for their own use but it's not that they can simply decide that the new feature that they introduced and is at first only working on their platform is the standard from now.

Maybe not formally, but it might not matter. Looking at how google implemented XMPP, then slightly changed their implemetentaion until it was incompatible, and clients tried to keep up with changes, makes me fear meta will do something similar.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yeah, I thought of these points too, my fear is that it won't matter that it isn't managed by meta and people will go along with whatever meta does.

Though to be completely fair, I have the exact same fear for other decentralised protocols, including nostr. Perhaps the only one I think is resilient to this situation is bitcoin, for better or for worse.

How is this a science meme?

@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

Satoshi 7B is a large language model fine-tuned on a Q&A dataset related to ... ‘basedness’ (non-woke political perspectives).

That doesn't even mean anything.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

I don't agree that makes sense either.

fine-tuned on a Q&A dataset related to Bitcoin principles

Bitcoin is just a thing, these principles are what some people believe, not bitcoin.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

I'm saying "bitcoin principles" aren't something inherit to bitcoin, one may be into bitcoin without believing these principles. L

I guess whole point is I don't understand the point of this llm.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

I know what keynesian and austrian economics is. Its just that people curious about btc aren't gonna run an llm to find out more about it. Very very few people are gonna do that, and if they have the knowledge to do that, they probably have the knowledge to actually research.

This is good news! Ever since I found or about nomadic identities I've wondered why they weren't a thing from the beginning in the Fediverse. It just makes t so much sense in a federated environment.

AGPL-3.0

Nice

baduhai , (edited )
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

The AGPL applies copyleft to web services. If you're learning about licensing, it might be worth googling copyleft. Fascinating concept, and, in my opinion, something to subscribe to.

is blue light from led so bad cause it's harder to make blue leds and thus the color range is more limited than red and green for what a blue light produces and thus causes our brains to get confused

Imma need some punctuation, I have no clue what you're trying to say.

Good luck.

Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?

I currently have a Dell laptop that runs Windows for work. I use an external SSD via the Thunderbolt port to boot Linux allowing me to use the laptop as a personal device on a completely separate drive. All I have to do is F12 at boot, then select boot from USB drive....

baduhai ,

This is just a bad idea in general.

The "type to filter" feature is awesome and way more useful than dolphins search.

Dolphin has a filter feature, in addition to its search.

baduhai ,
@baduhai@sopuli.xyz avatar

It can, all shortcuts on Dolphin are remappable.

That's a pretty cool flag in the thumbnail, anybody know what it's from?

On Reddit people use emojis a lot

I find this really funny. I used reddit for about a decade, and I remember redditors absolutely hating emojis. Reddit really changed, in the time I used it and rarely did it change for the better.
