LOL… LMFAO.

The fallbacks work just fine but I love the idea of wasting google’s money using them as a proxy for claude.

I’m only using free accounts , this is for purely entertainment purposes.

I'm seeing openness to age verification laws within some left of center organizing spaces 😱

Folks, we gotta talk to our people to kill this harmful policy. Regulate dangerous big tech practices, not people!

LGBTQ+ kids in hostile environments suffer when they can't access community online.

Age verification also facilitates excluding representation of marginalized folks. Also, it is at odds with the right to repair — shouldn't we own our devices, and not the other way around?

They spent decades telling the lie that copyright mattered, that copying is theft, and then suddenly it becomes okay when its the mega-corps doing it?

I’m not anti-AI, I’m Anti corporate ownership of AI, this stuff belongs to all of us, the benefits belong to all of us, every $ saved should be redistributed directly to the people.

The reason so little usefulness or anything other then slop gets created from these things currently is because no one with any actual creativity WANTS what they are selling, and the people who want to replace those creative individuals with AI have such little talent or creative ability that the end results end up being laughable.

Getting the "Fell for it again award" ready for all the bluesky users who still havent figured out they are the product when they use corporate networks.

How About Some AI With Your Bluesky?

A tale of two social networks.

Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.

Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

Attachments such as images are in base64 and have to be extracted, you can use this python script to do that:

import os  
import email  
from email import policy  
import mimetypes  
import sys  


def extract_attachments(folder_path, output_root):  
    output_abs = os.path.abspath(output_root)  
    if not os.path.exists(output_root):  
        os.makedirs(output_root, exist_ok=True)  

    for sd in ["images", "videos", "documents"]:  
        os.makedirs(os.path.join(output_root, sd), exist_ok=True)  

    eml_files = []  
    for root, _, files in os.walk(folder_path):  
        if os.path.abspath(root).startswith(output_abs):  
            continue  
        for file in files:  
            if file.endswith(".eml"):  
                eml_files.append(os.path.join(root, file))  

    total_files = len(eml_files)  
    print(f"Found {total_files} .eml files to process.")  

    total_extracted = 0  
    for i, file_path in enumerate(eml_files, 1):  
        rel_path = os.path.relpath(file_path, folder_path)  
        print(f"[{i}/{total_files}] Processing: {rel_path}", end="\r", flush=True)  

        extracted_from_file = 0  
        try:

Well so far so good

@aac1122 These corporate LLMs are trained to encourage user interaction so its no surprise you find yourself in agreement often, thats by design. Be careful how much you get into with these things, they can be very detrimental as well.

Always make sure you get feedback from humans to check that you aren’t just being told what the LLM thinks you want to hear.

Well it’s that time again, System keeps freezing up every once in a while for not much reason i can decern other then either bad RAM or bad SSD, replaced the SSD and it still froze so now here we are…

Other then having to figure out manual booting by commands in grub for the first time, homeserver’s migration to new SSD was great success!

The church has no place in how a state should be run. That's why we must separate religion from politics.

The cascadia #Meshcore is looking awesome.

my favourite part about open source is where you can’t contribute unless you subject yourself to using github and other corporate services.

I think about 90% of peoples problems with AI would go away if it wasnt being controlled by the absolute worst people for the absolute worst reasons, at the expense of everyone, while stealing everything….

LLMs are good tools, but anything these corporations do with it is the product of massive theft and exploitation and thats why so many people have such an averse reaction to it.

Take away the capitalism-demands-infinite-growth motive to LLMs and instead of data centers being build off a massive pyramid scheme of IOUs you’d have open community projects refining LLMs to make them more efficient and less demanding, but that’s not what drives hardware sales for Nvidia, so its not what the market wants.

Do you think Microsoft understands consent?

I’ve added Gitea and a handful of Nostr related services to GravityWell.xYz

fuck off.

imagine if windows required you to wait 24hrs before you could install programs outside of the MS store.

your phone is a computer, and this is an anti-competitive move that has the intentional side effect of incentivizing consumers to install apps from google instead of other markets.

“you can’t do this!”

“but i’ve always been able to do this!”

waits a year

“fine, but now you have to wait 24 hours because because because i said so!”

“oh! well in that case, i guess it’s not so bad!”

everyone that is happy about this is an easily manipulated buttbrain
