Exploring the Fediverse one instance at a time. Looking for a place to call homepage.

Show me your photoblogs, your pixelfeds, your memes, and your sh*posts. Show me your tech news, your video games, your artblogs, and creations. Show me your comics, your jokes, your shower thoughts and nonsense. And follow me if you want a random assortment of the very same.

This is not a well organized place but it is curated with intention.

Also, the capybara is my spirit animal.

@Some_Emo_Chick I'm sure the neighbors across the street love that.

@jeffjarvis This is a valid concern. One of the greatest strengths of the Fediverse is also one of its greatest weaknesses. The Fediverse is great for smaller communities and decentralization, but the lack of centralization makes discovery and distant interactions much more challenging. I'd love to see a more cohesive cross-instance search and trending topics solution.

@Jake_Vig I have no strong feelings one way or the other... https://media.tenor.com/6hBUkpPLMacAAAAM/gif.gif

Just saw a video from LTT about this. While I'm plenty happy with the Steam Deck, I'm also very interested in what the competition brings. Competition breeds innovation. https://youtu.be/S9a3oAiN2ik

Really great analysis of Twitter's new "open source" initiative. Ultimately, like everything else he says, what Elon says is usually not what is actuary happening.

Patrick here makes a really good point that, while you can see the source code, you can't see the database - which contains the actual tweets of course, but could also store things out algorithm decisions and weighting. That is, you might be able to figure it how the application might make a decision given a certain set of inputs, but we don't have the inputs, so we can't really be certain of the outputs.

@[email protected] techhhnically I think the up pipes on the upper right image are chimneys. Google isn't just testing whether you can identify common objects anymore... It's checking if you have knowledge of HVAC as well. Sounds like a robot deciding on whether or not you're a threat 😁
