I always ask similar questions like the following,

What will you do when you discover that the kernel of your favorite Operating System now gets programming assistance in any form of a power guzzling ocean warming large language model?

Will will you fork the kernel yourself? Do you have the programming capability

There are a lot of folk who are pissed off at Linus Torvalds, for allowing some of his maintainers to use large language models to assist in finding bugs.

The Head Programmer of the fantastic and Beautiful curl also uses a large language model in some form, to hunt for bugs, because both he and Greg from the Linux kernel, saw that the LLM used on GitHub is now suddenly much better at finding those pesky bugs.

Mind you, the only LLM I like is the one that runs locally on my low powered Android phone. That's a micro LLM

Thanks in advance for your response

Dass es den europäischen Regierungen und der EU bei den von ihnen vorangebrachten Alterskontrollen (= Identitätsdatenkontrollen) im Internet nicht um den Jugendschutz sondern um die Kontrolle von Informationszugängen und Kommunikationsräumen geht, zeigt sich gerade wieder beim Vorhaben Frankreichs, auch das dezentrale Fediverse/Mastodon als "Pornographieplattform" einzustufen um es entsprechenden Kontrollen unterwerfen zu können.

Mit dem Argument, dass diese oder jene Kanäle, Plattformen, Programme oder Angebote dafür genutzt werden könnten, neben anderem auch nicht jugendfreie Inhalte zu teilen, wird so ein Vorwand geschaffen, der die umfassende Kontrolle von alledem rechtfertigen soll.

So what are all the possible ways they can block things, I wonder now. Not an expert. Couldn't they simply block all of #fediverse based on content-type or other aspects of #ActivityPub network communication? Deep msg inspection, etc. They want to drag their population over to that state-controlled platform I forgot the name of.

Hello, middle-aged, neurodivergent, dog servant looking for his 'Internet People', my bio tells you a bit more about me, and as I've given up the idea of a blog in favour of conversation, it's probably best if you just ask me 'stuff'. Meanwhile, here's some tags to prompt interest:

Ich war schon in so vielen sozialen Netzwerken. Jahrzehnte. Mit unterschiedlichen starken Mitteln der Moderation und Selbstschutzmechanismen.

Daher:

Das Blocken oder Stummschalten ist eine höchst individuelle Entscheidung von jedem Menschen hier im Fediverse (und anderswo) und sollte grundsätzlich nie in Frage gestellt werden, wer dieses Mittel, wie stark und oft, anwendet. Egal wie (un)sensibel das einem erscheint, das ist eine persönliche Sache. Punkt.

Man kann mit der Entscheidung unzufrieden sein, aber man sollte deswegen keine Vorwürfe äußern. Das ist respektlos, weil damit die Grenzen anderer in Frage gestellt werden, die sich schützen möchten.

Just my 2¢.

So, some time next year, you’ll be able to send truly private messages to the vast majority of the #Fediverse

Hello machi,

Welcome to the #fediverse
I’m not a manga specialist. My favorites are Akira and Battle Angel Alita.

I hope you can feel free to express yourself here.

@minimoysmagician

By way of an overdue #introduction; I'm rather a simple soul, I mainly enjoy tinkering with #computers, strumming #guitars and a wee bit of #spaniel sitting. I'm now taking some tentative first steps into #gardening too, just to fall in with the #retired stereotype I suppose. I'm also reading the #internet and I'm currently about halfway through it. I detest #BigTech, the #algorithm, #AI and #SurveillanceCapitalism. I love the #Fediverse because it reminds me of the olde worlde internet. I try to post/boost a little bit of everything and anything, including #art, #science, #botany, #transport, #animals, #architecture and #humour, without getting too mired in #politics, although it's not easy to avoid politics when you care about #nature and the #environment. I'm happy to interact with everyone/anyone irrespective of creed, colour, nationality or gender/sexual preferences. In the nicest sense of the word, I really don't give a fuck what you are. I consider myself to be a floating voter of centre/left leaning persuasion. I support the notion of managed #degrowth and #social responsibility. I would rather discuss the common ground we share and aim to respect our differences. I try to avoid fuckwits wherever I encounter them. That'll do for now although I dare say I'll edit this over time. Thanks for reading and peace out☮️

I've never tried to hide that I want to build up my side business of translating old German folk tales into a significant side income. "Quit your day job" levels are unrealistic, since my day job pays decently and I quite like the benefits, but maybe it will be possible to work reduced hours one day.

Currently, I earn about €200 per month. I do have some expenses - commissing cover illustrations, hiring a copywriter, and pay for domain and website maintenance (which has gotten more expensive as of late - thanks, #LLM scrapers!).

https://sunkencastles.com/the-books/

Right now, my books are primarily a marketing tool for my Patreon campaign, although I do get some money from them.

My sales per year are:

2020: 71 (Release of "Sunken Castles, Evil Poodles")
2021: 69
2022: 133 (Release of "Lurkers at the Threshold")
2023: 78
2024: 50
2025: 52

Even though I haven't released a new book since 2022, book sales haven't declined nearly as much as is usual for books. I assume that this means that knowledge of their existence is spread by word of mouth - thanks to everyone who has recommended them to others! Still, I really need to get "Old Goatfoot" out (the next book) - and I have enough material to start on the manuscripts for "Magic in Theory and Malpractice" and "Unnatural Taxonomies" as well (with "Spirits in Motion" not far behind). While publishing my weekly translations on Patreon remains the first priority, this is the second highest one.

https://graphtreon.com/creator/sunkencastles

Speaking of my Patreon campaign, it has generally plateaued since its high point in 2023. I suspect the reason for this, too, is the lack of new books, which are the visible representation of all the work I do. If my people see more of my books on the shelves, they will be more intrigued in the early release material I publish there.

And once my Patreon campaign grows big enough, I hope to use it to pay for custom illustrations for the tales - but alas, I am not there yet.

But of course, I do further marketing beyond selling books. After I abandoned/fled Twitter, I focused on #Mastodon as my primary marketing tool. I tried a #Facebook page for two years or so, but that was a waste of time - I never attracted even a hundred followers, and I refused to pay Meta for advertising. Better to stick to the #Fediverse, where there is no algorithm that hates you.

Still, even my Mastodon-based approach has seen some refinement. I used to share my tales as screenshots, but that was not ideal from an accessibility point of view. Thus, I spent seven months on building up a wiki repository, and now share invididual tales as links:

https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/Main_Page

This required a lot of effort which distracted me from working on the book manuscripts. But now it is functionally complete, and I think the end result is worth it.

So here you have it: My focus for the rest of the year is to get my next book published, and hopefully this will bring me a further increase in revenue.

Does anyone have any further questions about my work as an independent author/translator, and my future goals?

I recently stumbled upon a new privacy-focused email provider called atomicmail.io. You may have heard of them already.

The landing page is very convincing, full of aggressive comparisons to Proton Mail, Tuta, GMail and others.

But there is zero information about the people behind the product. Just an anonymous "team of enthusiasts and developers".

I decided to do a quick audit of their legal entity. It turns out the registered share capital of this company is exactly €1.

Well, that completely clears up any doubts about trusting them with my private data. Absolutely bulletproof.

I make a bit of fun of the #Fediverse because it sucks in many interesting ways but don't get me wrong, it's still the best place to be.

Did you know over at #Bluesky you can't even edit your 300 character posts yet, and there are no polls?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@iwritelike/116393843658018750

Which word would you use to refer to yourself? "I", presumably, in the singular. And how about you and a group of people? "We", of course, in the plural.

But how about you and one other person?

In modern English, there is no word for that. You would probably just use "we" or "the two of us".

But more than 1,000 years ago, you would have said: "wit".

This term, once also used affectionately to describe the closeness between two people, is one of many personal pronouns that have been lost or transformed amid huge social and political change over the centuries. The English language has become simplified – but at times this has left gaps, creating confusion.

"Wit" means "we two" in Old English, a Germanic language spoken in England until about the 12th Century, which evolved into the English we speak today. Now completely lost, "wit" was part of an extinct group of pronouns used for exactly two people: the dual form, which also includes "uncer" or "unker" ("our" for two people) and "git" ("you two"). That dual form vanished from the English language around the 13th Century.

Centralized and corporate-owned social media hurts Native communities

Tech billionaires do not care about us; for them, our communities only serve to be exploited for capital gain... They’ve revolutionized the art of cultural appropriation, making algorithms that can steal Native art and use it without consent much faster than was ever before possible.

Odysee receives huge UI improvements and some new features: new video player (mimicking YouTube's video player), home page top slide now displays a channel preview the 3 latest videos and a follow button, mini video player when hovering a video's thumbnail, floating player, search field on channel > Content pages, revamped content upload flow divided into multiple pages, Advanced Editor for writing comments (with text formatting buttons), favicons displayed next to links in text posts and comments

FreeTube also received some UI revamp: new video player (also somewhat similar to YouTube's), some text changed to first letter uppercase instead of all uppercase, icons added to subscription page
(Why does everyone copy YouTube's video player? It looks kinda ugly... Also, the bottom panel's buttons are barely visible if the video is bright. Odysee's new video player at least has a darker background for those buttons)

RE: https://loops.video/v/eSlCXSXZSV

I am trying to follow some loops profiles here on mastodon, but not all posts appear in the timeline of the @velichor on mastodon (for example, I had to search this message by its url that I found on loops.video). Why?

#fediverse #loops #shortvideo

es nur im den Klick geht.

Du fühlst dich von dem geschriebenen getriggert und möchtest dem Reflex nachgeben auf mich einzuprügeln. Dann bist du wahrscheinlich genau damit gemeint, wenn du dich angesprochen fühlst. Dann bist du wahrscheinlich Teil des Problems.
Gib mal zur Abwechslung deinem Reflex nicht nach, sondern denke statt dessen nach. Lass das Geschriebene mal wirken.
Verurteile es nicht sondern beurteile es. Bewerte es mal neutral. Gehe mal in dich. Lehn dich zurück, chill mal eine Runde und schlaf mal eine Nacht drüber. Beobachte mal mit ein wenig Abstand das ganze Treiben.
Dan wirst auch du sicherlich merken: Das #Fediverse ist am Ende auch nur ein Social Media Netzwerk wie jedes Andere. Anders, aber nicht wirklich besser.

In dem Sinne wünsche ich euch einen schönen Sonntag. (3/3)

Schweigen zu bringen ist nicht besser als die ganzen Nazis, die das Tag täglich versuchen.

Und auch im #Fediverse herrscht die Empörungskultur. Auch da unterscheidet es sich nicht von den anderen Social Media Netzwerken. Auch hier werden Menschen sofort, ohne nachzudenken, verurteilt für das was sie schreiben. Verurteilt ohne Vorgeschichten, Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge zu kennen. Verurteilt, indem man in Geschriebenes einfach etwas hinein dichtet, ohne das es geschrieben worden ist. Es ist wichtiger den Empörungsreflex zu befriedigen, als den Menschen zu verstehen. Oder es wenigstens zu versuchen. Aufschrei ist das worum es geht. Empörung. Laut sein. Und wenn man es dann schafft, dass andere mit einstimmen, umso besser. Dann kann man ja so falsch nicht gelegen haben, oder?
Das einzige, was hier im Fediverse besser ist: Es gibt hier keine Algorithmen, die diese Berufsempörer auch noch verstärken. Ihnen auch noch Reichweite geben, wie in den BigTech Social Media Netzwerken, wo (2/3)

Mal ein Gedanke zum #Fediverse
Wir wollen hier gerne das andere, das bessere Social Media Netzwerk sein. Aber ist das so?
Ich denke nein. Anders? Ja! Besser? Nein.
Was hier anders ist, ist dass es die Faschisten und Nazis bisher nicht schaffen hier Fuß zu fassen. Und das ist wirklich gut.
Aber warum ist es dann nicht besser?
Weil es am Ende hier eben doch genauso läuft wie in den anderen Social Media Netzwerken auch.
Meinungen werden hier versucht zu unterdrücken. Das ist mir in den letzten 5 Wochen ziemlich deutlich geworden. Menschen mit anderer Meinung versucht man hier genauso mundtot zu machen wie in anderen Netzwerken auch. ANDERE Meinung! Nicht ungesetzlich oder faschistisch. Nur anders. Unangenehm, ja. Aber nicht mehr. Meinungsfreiheit ist manchmal schwer auszuhalten. Das geht mir auch so. Aber solange nix verbreitet wird was gegen geltendes Recht verstößt oder bewusst gelogen ist, ist es eben genau das, was es ist. Meinungsfreiheit. Wer versucht solche Menschen zum (1/3)

Dear #fediverse,

Just about as soon as I started doing this, I made sure to note in my bio that I use a locally-running #LLM to generate my #altText, which I then proofread, to weed out the redundancies and hallucinations.

Someone in a chat room has taken it upon themselves to convince me that I "don't need" to use #qwen, and that short descriptions are "enough."

How do y'all feel I should proceed?

Well I actually got some sleep last night so I think it’s time for another round of albums of the year as chosen by users of the #Fediverse blog post. The previous years links are all consolidated here https://hailsandales.com/posts/albums-of-the-year-as-chosen-by-users-of-the-fediverse-consolidated-links.

Vor längerem habe ich mal geschrieben, dass die Lösung der Probleme in einem dezentralen Netz nicht Zentralität die Lösung ist – und auch nicht Funktionen, die wir aus zentralistischen Netzwerken übernehmen, die dort zur Lösung Ihrer zentralistischen Probleme eingeführt wurden –, sondern ein Gemeinschaftsaspekt jenseits der technischen Gegebenheiten zur Verbesserung führt. Dazu würde aber auch gehören, dass Projekte nicht nur sich selbst und die Erfahrung der eigenen Nutzer*innen fokussieren, sondern vor allem den Blick nach außen wenden: „Wie ist die Erfahrung der Funktionen bei Nutzer*innen anderer Projekte?“ Wenn man sich darauf einigen könnte, würde es dem Fediverse als Ganzes helfen und es voran bringen.

Here is a table of more than 1000 journalists on #Mastodon, that updates itself – showing the ones most active, most followed etc. I took the wonderful table by @tchambers as foundation, but deleted some media organizations, so that it only contains accounts from people.
I want to make another for media accounts (and maybe even more 🤔).

Have a look!

I like "favorite" button in Mastodon. If I scroll down or up the feed webpage, the star keeps spinning ⭐

If you are on #pixelfed I very much recommend using #pixelix as it is a much better #foss experience. It is also one of the most intriguing open-source app on #android that I have ever looked at. You can get it for free if via #github or #fdroid but you will have to purchase the app if you want it from #google #playstore
