Geek tip from the Tuta Team: How NOT to see AI images.
Use this HUGE AI BLOCKLIST for uBlock Origin: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
Enjoy your Sunday 🎉
A huge blocklist of manually curated sites that contain AI generated imagery for uBlock Origin & uBlacklist. - laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
Does anyone know of some Rust programming spaces that aren't littered with AI slop accounts?
I want to find people who share and talk about the interesting things they discover about the language, not more copy and paste nonsense. I am so tired of having to sift through 100s of slop posts before I get to something actually thought provoking or with real passion behind it.
As mentioned before, I hate bringing this up because I have no evidence or expertise here, just a gut feeling. But I just can't help feeling like, aside from everything else aside about LLM chatbots, they're quickly becoming the leaded gasoline of our time.
Something doing real damage to human cognition, but in this diffuse and difficult to measure kind of way.
The firmware on the nano is written in C without the main Arduino libraries. I felt like it was more fun to do everything myself.
This then connects over UART to a rust server that sits on my desktop. It shows the time, notifications, and the currently playing song. Currently rewriting the server to be less of a prototype, but its been a fun little project <3
Too busy with college to work on it a more than a couple hours a week, but its been a fun little escape from the huge projects.

If you're recommending Mastodon and the wider Fediverse to organisations, friends, family or colleagues, don't worry if they say no. You have done something really important simply by making them aware of it as an option.
Most people and organisations don't immediately try stuff they hear about. Usually they need to hear it mentioned by a few different sources before they actually try it.
By being one of those sources, you're nudging them closer to actually trying it 👍
You're using your reusable cup and sorting your recycling.
Meanwhile, fossil fuel lobbyists and oil producing states are blocking the UN #PlasticsTreaty and the world is losing half a trillion dollars to tax abuse that could fund renewable energy transitions and biodiversity protection because a few countries block UN tax reform.
Individual effort matters, but systemic change is what we actually need.
My website is for humans, and I don't want Google's AI ramen
if you haven't taught someone who is helplessly addicted to LLMs, LLM brain is so much worse than you can possibly imagine. the problems i'm seeing from someone i am currently teaching are indistinguishable from illiteracy - this person literally cannot read single-line, fully descriptive error messages, and proceeds to just copy and paste whatever they say into the chatbot and copy/paste whatever it spits out, and in this problem domain the LLM is wrong nearly 100% of the time. when i ask them to stop and think about what the problem is, what steps they might need to take to diagnose and resolve it, and how does that fit in with the context of what we've been doing together for >6 months, they literally can't.
Edit: Oop this post escaped containment. I am not implying that it is impossible to learn with an LLM, so if it works for you then that is basically irrelevant to my description of this one very specific pattern of learning with which I have direct and repeated experience. This person is otherwise very smart and competent, I am describing the impact of the LLM on their mode of learning the things I am trying to teach them.
