Finally, we’ve managed to shove crypto directly into social media interaction itself. If only there was some way to shove AI into it. Maybe add some NFT’s while you’re at it?
Those screenshots looks an awful lot like AI, be careful with that… AI has no problem letting people wallow in learned helplessness. Regardless, getting stuck in a rut is a real thing that most people go through, many times throughout life. The job market is abysmal right now, especially for the average individual. It’s almost effortless nowadays to be overqualified for the minimum wage work, and underqualified for work at a livable wage.
the user you advised that to uses lemmy as their personal venting diary, they’re a regular. people probably didn’t like the way you wrote it because they missed the latter word “just” in your post, misinterpreting the meaning entirely

Lot of folks chimed in about their opinions on many different wiki approaches, my takeaway was that Bookstack looked like something I’d wanna use in the future, but there’s a lot of stuff covered in there.
My thoughts shopping around for a wiki solution - Lemmy.World
I know wikis have been discussed here before, but I wanted to add my two cents after shopping around for a wiki at work and for personal use. ## Obsidian ### Pros - plain text storage format - great at gathering disorganized thoughts without imposing a rigid structure ## Cons - closed source - many features that arguably define a wiki are either absent or paywalled, like easy sharing, collaboration, and versioning ## Mediawiki ### Pros - it’s the wiki. Everyone’s used and possibly edited a Wikipedia page. - version history - close to Obsidian in terms of “write now, organize later” - Probably the nicest-looking FOSS wiki platform out of the box - a lot of the features that Obsidian paywalls are built in, like multi user support and version history ### Cons - Articles not stored in plain text - Has its own markup. Granted Mediawiki predates Markdown but the table syntax is horrendous. The Mediawiki help page on the matter actually tries to dissuade you from using tables and notes that the markup is ugly. - Extensions are annoying to install - Absolutely zero access control. You can even edit other people’s user pages. There’s no way to hide sections of a wiki from the public or from particular groups of users. - It tries to be all things to everyone. While this makes it versatile, it also means doing a particular thing probably requires knowledge of CSS or Mediawiki’s own templeting syntax. Sometimes I just want to have an info box that doesn’t clutter the source code of a page. ## Dokuwiki ### Pros - Access control finally! - Plain text files - Easy to create namespaces, which Mediawiki also has but doesn’t want you to go crazy making your own. - While it’s not Markdown, the markup is nicer than Mediawiki IMO. The table syntax at least is miles better ### Cons - Uglier than sin. Yes even many of the templates (themes) on offer aren’t much better. The Bootstrap 3 template seems particularly popular, and while it’s a marked improvement in most areas, like a lot of frontends that use those bootswatch pallets there are dusty corners that don’t work, like black text on a black background. - Some stuff like tags and moving pages have to be achieved via plugins. Seriously you can’t even rename a page? - Mutilates article titles. Makes everything lowercase and replaces non alphanumeric chars with underscores (or something else configurable). ## Bookstack ### Pros - It looks good I guess. Haven’t spent much time with it. - Yay markdown! - Also has access control ### Cons - Also not plain text - remember earlier when I talked about “write now, organize later”? Bookstack holds a gun to your head and forces you to use its shelf>book>chapter>page organization system. I know some people thrive under this limitation, but I don’t. Other wikis I’ve tried but not to the same extent ## Wiki.js IDK, I don’t know much about this one, but don’t like the workflow of making new pages. ## Gollum Really simple, which is both good and bad. ## An Otter Wiki (the article seems to be part of the name) A lot like Gollum. Doesn’t indicate when you link to a nonexistent page. No support for article tags. ## Pepperminty wiki Looks cool but it’s abandoned ## Tiddlywiki Steep learning curve but pretty versatile. It’s a single HTML file so you can host it on something like Neocities. Really rudimentary search functions
As nice as this would be, it’s not very likely… Licenses are usually limp suggestions from the perspective of companies with billions of dollars. AI companies train on millions of copyrighted materials, both literature and art, without any expression permission from the authors or artists, and with essentially no recourse or compensation to the authors. You could append a ‘no AI training’ clause to an existing license like the MIT license, but the impact that will have will mostly be brief personal satisfaction and won’t change what the AI companies do. It’s genuinely more useful to keep code proprietary to prevent it from being used to train AI models.
TIL LibreOffice has socials! One of these days I should look into joining Mastodon
I’ve got some Western Digital and Samsung HDDs I bought refurbished a while ago in a RAID10 configuration for 4 TB total. Recently setup backups to that and an SSD, the read/write speeds are slow but tolerable and I’m not doing anything that needs high throughput. For backups from multiple machines, it does the job and I make sure to upload the encrypted backups to remote storage once a month so if there’s any catastrophic data loss on my end it’s all recoverable.
No LLMs used here, just regular old fashioned search engines and common sense. Not that I expect that to convince you :D I wouldn’t bother wasting an LLM’s time on this, it’s much more entertaining not to. If you feel so inclined, I’d be curious what your take on antiandrogen medications, serotonergic agents or gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists for treatment is, since it seems effective in the limited trials that have taken place. Of course, there should always be more thorough research into the capacity for full remission.
A brief unstructured literature review on the history of paraphilias - International Journal of Impotence Research
This unstructured review is based on a comprehensive literature search leading to a variety of selected studies that summarize the historical development of paraphilias. Firstly, paraphilias in ancient times are discussed. Secondly, the development of paraphilia diagnoses, including current critical aspects, is outlined. Finally, a short description of the development of treatment approaches for individuals with paraphilic disorders and those who commit sexual offenses, including medical and psychotherapeutic approaches as well as online intervention programs, is presented. The destigmatization of people with deviant sexual interest is deemed necessary. However, it is also recommended to always strive for a balance between protecting paraphilic individuals’ rights and protecting vulnerable groups to whom paraphilic people can pose a danger.
Of course not, an individual with such a disorder can be successfully treated to reduce if not fully eliminate pedophilic urges or inclinations. Medications and treatments are available to reduce sexual libido and urges in afflicted individuals, as well as to rebuild the mental pathways from pedophilic to normophilic, without altering sexual orientation. A resource to consider is the Handbook of Clinical Sexuality for Mental Health Professionals by Stephen B Levine, Candace B Rice, Stanley E Althof. For a study, as you’ve requested, feel free to give Changes in Sexual Arousal as Measured by Penile Plethysmography in Men with Pedophilic Sexual Interest a cursory reading.
A sexual preference towards men, women, or nonbinary isn’t a mental illness. A sexual preference to children is. Refer to this for further explanation.
Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI - Lemmy.World
> We’ve been searching for a memory-safe programming language to replace C++ in Ladybird for a while now. We previously explored Swift, but the C++ interop never quite got there, and platform support outside the Apple ecosystem was limited. Rust is a different story. The ecosystem is far more mature for systems programming, and many of our contributors already know the language. Going forward, we are rewriting parts of Ladybird in Rust. > Porting LibJS > I used Claude Code and Codex for the translation. This was human-directed, not autonomous code generation. I decided what to port, in what order, and what the Rust code should look like. It was hundreds of small prompts, steering the agents where things needed to go. After the initial translation, I ran multiple passes of adversarial review, asking different models to analyze the code for mistakes and bad patterns.
