Their stated reason for the change was the fact that In the great ai gold rush people who never contributed to the project Simply grabbed it, and without contributing anything to the project did nothing except stripped the branding and then go sell it. kind of a crappy thing to do but hey it’s the Internet. I don’t have any firsthand experience so I can’t say for sure what the deal was. we’ve seen The same thing with forks of V s code turned into all kinds of things.

Yes, but none of them were left alive.

That looks pretty amazing, and it works with OLLAMA which is awesome.

Links to github are right there on the site

I never heard of redit. Is that like ribbit? Or some new fangled app or something?

Only the crumb grabber is worthy of your attention.

Deciding to change quantum reality is actually not a bad way to solve most of your problems

This is absolutely fine.

Another thing I think is fine is “because you watched ____” and suggestions based on that. Like we see a video that the user watched the whole video or liked it, and then we find similar videos to that I don’t think its that invasive and may be helpful.

As long as its transparent and the user has control to use it or not I think thats the key. The fediverse however is enormously privacy and corporate sensitive, so I can see that it is a tight line to walk here.

We shouldn’t fear these algorithms, the key though is everything has to be under the control of the user. A simple way is just tags, which are widely used almost everywhere. If the user has their panel and can block tags or words or give a rating from +10 to -10 for any keyword or tag, you can accomplish a hell of a lot with no black box fuckery.

Any other sources of audiobooks besides my local public library and librivox?

Allan Holdsworth

We must allow this to maintain balance.

Since I got my first taste of the Hittites battle formations. 0/10, would not do again.

Ok heres a random one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dslLBsHkVzE You expect maybe some background music on a war or nature documentary or something, but especially vlog type informational channels are now doing it. This music on this particular video is better than most and I can almost live with it. This trend just started in the last 6 months. Once you start looking for it, its inescapeable.

Check your local library for many WW2 historical accounts of the french resistance. Madam Fourcades secret war, Virginia Hill are a couple of my favorites.

Also memoirs from FBI and CIA agents, and anything on SOE, Churchills “Special Operations Executive” division which had as its objective to defeat the Germans covertly in Nazi occupied France, which he started because he wanted more results than the old school tie boys in traditional British intelligence.

For that matter accounts of the beginnings of the American CIA in WW2 are interesting too.

On all these, enough time has passed that there aren’t national security concerns any more, technology changes but the principles are always the same. Interesting reading and you can learn a lot, especially how networks are penetrated and how spies were caught.

Sorry you got jumped on as a new user a bit.

The karma system on reddit encourages posting and reposting stuff that everyone has seen before to get fake internet points, and maybe what you win is a “more powerful account” for the algorithm instead of everyone getting a more or less equal voice.

You can still get people to follow you and build a tribe if you want without that, and you are also free to start any community you like, so a few mods don’t end up controlling all the online real estate and steer the conversation unfairly.

Plus its simpler. Sometimes simple is good.
