too based for earth, too cringe for heaven, misfit in hell i mean, huh?
Matrix is not a good platform. Especially as a discord replacement. All clients suck in their own unique ways, and so does server software. It doesn’t have any meaningful moderation tools. It doesn’t have half the user facing discord features (like streaming or functional pins). The search sucks.
You’re not getting out of the corporate hellhole that easily
Doesn’t surprise me, I’ve done that too in the past
AI junk (look at the beanie text and the collar)
OP read that Boost may contain code used for tracking, then started spewing some conspiracy that “Boost is tracking your data for profiling and more!” without any proof or any actual research.
This has actually been on my mind for a while now. Louis Rossmann and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race. He and his ilk talk about profiling in terms so sensationalist (“data stealing”, “spying”) that any connection to reality goes out the window and people become conspiratorial and paranoid. All reasoning about why it happens gets flattened to “they’re evil” and there’s no way to actually engage with the reasons.
Hope the next week will be better
I’m in almost the same spot as you. Why’s your sleep like that, if I may ask?
Weren’t they defined by major cultural events? Zoomers not remembering 9/11 for example
This is anywhere, period. You can do that with letters, you can do that with speeches, or in casual conversations.
And you’re not always wrong about it either.
If you’ve played Disco Elysium, “Welcome to Revachol”. If you haven’t, play it. It’s an amazing game

Fight me. Also, one of these is a function
I have seen AI apologists talk about how “AI” is already sentient and we shouldn’t restrict it because it’s immoral.
That straight up killed my desire to interact in that space the community with that person
To be fair, Rust Evangelists are fucking annoying and it’s fun to hate them.
How do I know? Would you like to talk about lord and savior, Ferris?
I didn’t notice that it was the patient’s friend’s cocktail and got a solid dose of “what the fuck maple leaf country” before I noticed
I’ll bite back >:3
I don’t think I know enough about anarchism to really dispute that. Though how much can the proletariat gain compared to the capitalists from AI? FOSS models are limited - I don’t think most people have supercomputers required for the training in their basements.
I will however question your denial of community. What definition of that word do you use? We’re not in a worker - capitalist relationship all the time. See: us right now, right here. See: me with other students at my university. Class distinctions are irrelevant to that.
Hell, Lemmy as a whole is a tech enthusiast community to an extent, though it being a lesser known specific form of social media introduces forces that make this community different in meaningful ways (e.g. it’s not corporate - there are fewer corpowhores here, it requires more effort to get in - people here will be on average more interested in actually contributing something meaningful).
On top of that, you mentioned FOSS models. Who were they built by? Corporations? Or a bunch of loosely associated volunteers who came together to work towards a shared goal? Is this not a community? (Those are actual questions btw, I couldn’t be bothered to check)
And with some form of a community comes some form of culture and morality.
As for additional forces even in workplaces, did you know most tech workers are men?
And as an aside, where have I said that it’s the tech workers who are responsible for bad, unethical solutions? I’m pretty I explicitly claimed the opposite
Yeah I’m gonna need some elaboration on that. How is AI anarchist? What exactly do you mean by anarchism? And how does this relate to my comment about the moral and intellectual (and thus cultural) tendencies in software engineering and the wider tech community?
random code monkeys aren’t evil or too stupid to figure out opt-in is more ethical
Coming in with a hot fucking take, they very much are that evil and/or stupid. They’re not at fault for how the software is structured, but judging by the crazes around tech hype (crypto, AI, NFTs) and my personal experience with average code monkeys, they would happily support “unethical” solutions (like opt-out tracking) if asked
None that aren’t at least in some way corporate. Maybe in another life, who knows. Or in a few years we’ll have something that’s actually useful and not corpo owned. With that out of the way, I’ve heard of but not tested these two:
