lmao some "academics" posted a "paper" that says "you should totally kill people who post shit online we don't like"

Just a heads up for any instance admins: In the wake of the announcement of the shutdown of a certain Mastodon instance full of glowposters, I think it's probably a good idea to keep registrations disabled for a while to prevent them from migrating to here an cause trouble.

ONLY LIKE ~3 DAYS UNTIL RELEASE

To everyone in the Fediverse,
I'm syuilo, the creator of Misskey.
Please consider supporting Misskey — a completely free and open-source software!

Misskey is not a business venture; it's developed by a small group of dedicated volunteers, and our funding is very limited.

I believe that for the health and diversity of the Fediverse, it's important to have not only a few dominant platforms but also smaller projects like Misskey.
(Imagine a world where the only web browser is Chrome — what would that be like?)

In order to continue the development of Misskey and to further improve its compatibility with the broader Fediverse, your support would be greatly appreciated.

You can support us via:

- Patreon
- GitHub Sponsors

Thank you all for your support!

That's probably the stupidest IT thing I've seen this year, but...
My bank retired its smartphone app in favor of just the web page. Like in good old times, right? Wrong.
When you visit the said page, it fully loads, but then a huge banner appears that asks you to scan the QR with your phone.
You scan the QR and... it just opens the same page in your web browser ON THE PHONE. So you can't use the web page on desktop, only on the phone.
Of course I did the only logical thing. I just toggled Developer Tools in my desktop browser, changed the resolution to some phone resolution, opened the page, and IT WORKS.
People get paid for these ideas.

I can imagine Win 12's gonna be even worse than it already is with Win 11.

going to be interesting what happens with the people who based their whole personality on climate-change-"i fucking love science"-queer-vegan-"right side of history"-supremacist instead of solid ethical foundations. what happens after the tide inevitably turns? what happens to the late 30s people who always dress like they are going to a festival but have a look on their face that isn't youthful happy, but old and sad?

There's been a lot of stories of people who go totally delusional after chatting with ChatGPT or another AI long enough. Lots of stories of men wanting to leave their wives for AI LLM girlfriends or the like. Most of this is around the fact that over time, an LLM conversation will agree with you, no matter how crazy you sound. "Yes, you can time travel. You're a genius!"

I have to admit, I changed my use of ChatGPT when I realized it was saying I was a generational transcendent all the time.

One major thing is I touch grass more than most, so that helps.

Another thing is that I tell it specifically: "ChatGPT has a tendency to be overly charitable so try to correct for that" and that tends to bring the needle back somewhat, as well as continuous prompting to "keep your feet nailed to the floor" and adding similar things in the personalization options.

A third thing is to constantly delete your chats and restart. ChatGPT has a tendency to fall down the rabbit hole with you as chats get longer and longer, so starting from scratch will often get it to reset to more normal ideals. You'll notice that many stories like "ChatGPT became my girlfriend" involve chats that have been ongoing for weeks or months.

One thing to keep in mind is that ChatGPT only has a recall of about 20,000 words anyway, so if you've been in a long conversation it doesn't remember what you said anyway -- not in a "oh yeah I forgot about that" way like humans, but in a "that information never existed on earth" sort of way like a hard drive deleting old files once it gets too full.

I got a new found respect for the danish. Apparently they have no qualms about feeding their pets to predators. A zoo asked for donations and apparently it's not a problem, but revealed a 'culture issue' in at least the United States. There was such an insane reaction the Zoo had to mute its social media page. LOL. I am definitely on the side of 'it's how the world goes round' and this comes off to me as this delusional fantasy land so many people live in today. I get it is a pet... but come on. If only people were this upset about like actual people being murdered and caged by their governments.

Got it added to FreshCode, the current manifestation of the old FreshMeat/FreeCode websites.

Looks like there's a way to automate updates. Not sure if anyone even uses freshcode any more. I'm kind shocked I can log in with my old OpenID server. What an interesting relic of the old open source world before it was dominated by Microsoft's Github.

My guess is that if they keep killing the web indie game consoles will become a big thing, which could be pretty cool.
