As the discourse invariably turns more towards "to what degree should we consider AI's to be people" i'm just gonna say that the more we allow our pareidolic tendencies to project personhood, the more we enable the concept of corporate personhood to be even further extended until we get the digital equivalent of the episode of Community with Subway the person. Yes this is an inherently fallacious argument no i will not elaborate

alr yall it's time for another #homelab #askfedi i have a sms group chat that's starting to feel a little cramped, and im looking to self host a solution. lots of folks in there are familiar with discord but more are opposed to it. I've been looking into the whole element/matrix thing and from what i've found firsthand it seems a good fit, but i've heard chatter that something about it is whack, what am i missing? #duckduckfedi

for exposing services from a #homelab to the web to share with friends loved ones etc etc, what do you all use? I've tried wireguard to little success a couple times before. It looks like Headscale, tailscale and netbird all claim to be able to do similar things easier than raw-dogging wireguard. any recommendations or advice? #duckduckfedi #askfedi

The flat design revolution, which is now so deeply embedded in UI/UX we no longer bother to name it, has now moved its quest to make all icons monochrome, abstract and denuded of detail to the point where the "profile" icon for Tidal now appears to be some sort of glyph of a insect or fairy

Following historical trends, before long these icons will start to be used as analogues for their sounds, creating the basis of a primitive alphabet. What you see below will someday be the character for "P".

the most popular pieces of media are often technically very shaky. for example, open up the beginning of the bible, genesis 1, in RenderDoc. you can scrub through all the draw calls and it's like. skybox, shadow maps, distant lods, fog, instanced foliage, animated meshes, etc. the issues are obvious: painters algorithm, massive overdraw, hence the abysmal frame time of 518 million ms

I think the 2030s are gonna be really weird.

“What up biochem fam, so great to see you guys, today we are back at it again with another video, this one’s about making your own mRNA SARS-nCoV-2029 vaccine precursors with a Bambu Lab Crispy CRISPR kit. As you all know my university research program was shut down by ICE last month which is why we are in this undisclosed location, and that is why it’s so important for you to hit like, subscribe, smash that bell, and sign up for our Patreon”

I just saw a post that referred to ChatGPT as "Mansplaining as a service", and it is so wonderfully correct - instant generation of superficially plausible yet totally fabricated nonsense presented with unflagging confidence, regardless of topic, without concern, regard, or even awareness of the expertise of its audience :D #chatgpt #mansplaining #GenerativeAiIsGoingGreat

Habeas Corpus Abra Cadabra.

Hey folks, the Mafia regime in the White House just deleted most of Article I Section 8 and all of Sections 9 and 10 of the US Constitution. I'm sure there's nothing concerning about that. Carry on.
