DekkerNSFW,

I miss Tumblr. Yes, Tumblr still exists, but the Tumblr I miss does not. This stuff makes me wonder if we’ll see an ActivityPub Tumblr-clone at some point, like Lemmy/Kbin to Reddit, Mastodon to Twitter and PeerTube to YouTube.

DekkerNSFW,

As a Dutch person, I freaking love this. And there’s plenty of valid reasons for it too, it’s not just them throwing us a bone.

DekkerNSFW,

If people start churning out upvote-worthy AI-generated content and posting it on Reddit, then Reddit will be happy with all the extra views coming from Google. They won’t mind.

DekkerNSFW,

Hm, but it sounds to me like this will be a problem for Reddit’s plans regardless of AI.

DekkerNSFW,

So, every year on my birthday, I could go here and pretend I’m still 20. Yay.

DekkerNSFW,

But it’s a rock with purpose. You know where it’s supposed to go. Its fate is now in your hands.

DekkerNSFW,

The second person here would be the user. Each user would have to write their own app. That sounds like a recipe for-… fun. Lots of fun.

DekkerNSFW,

Upvotes and downvotes, sure, but actual karma that’s tracked per account, no. I don’t think that’s planned either, but I could be mistaken.

DekkerNSFW,

Hmm, yeah, I think I’m capable of not being a violent racist. Thanks!

DekkerNSFW,

Yeah, and I try to do the same with AI-assisted art, using custom workflows involving 3D scenes or 2D drawings and custom trained checkpoints… but this won’t matter in most situations, it still gets rejected for involving any AI.

DekkerNSFW,

Just look at that wasp waist. Come on, you know she’s hot.

DekkerNSFW,

There’s plenty of games you can just buy and not pay a subscription to. Hell, any game with a subscription is usually impossible to pirate, due to being server based.

Movies and TV shows almost invariably do require a subscription these days, though, unless you take to the seven seas.

DekkerNSFW,

I think “pile of goo that becomes a bigger pile of goo” does seem a lot more plausible than a literal ice cream cone. I’d take more issues with the self-destructing pokeball pokemon, Voltorb. What kind of evolutionary mechanism brought that on?

DekkerNSFW,

And sometimes, justice requires breaking the law. Remember that the Holocaust was legal and Stonewall was not.

DekkerNSFW,

In general on Reddit, no. Maybe on r/pics, but that seems unlikely. I just checked my comment history and the very first thing I saw (latest comment) was on a post titled "How do you guys generate conflicting characters?" on r/StableDiffusion.

DekkerNSFW,

Interesting style! Reminded me of Jollyjack at first. I feel like you two have a similar use of colour and exaggerated shapes. The meme is funny too, of course.

DekkerNSFW,

I agree that the de-federation and attitude is worrysome, but I disagree on your stance towards more tags. Servers that disallow NSFW now, might choose to allow NSFW but not porn. Servers that allow NSFW now, are likely to keep allowing both. Servers just don’t want to deal with liability and weird protocol quirks showing people stuff they don’t want, so they’ll ban any category that’s likely to include stuff they don’t want. More fine-grained tagging means they can ban a smaller selection of things.

I’m all for various kinds of tags to indicate why someone might not want to view certain content.

DekkerNSFW,

I agree. A thing can be sensitive content for more than one reason at the same time.

DekkerNSFW,

Yeah, this makes sense. The health of the instance we're on is our concern too. Since a Fediverse instance is not a faceless entity and doesn't pull the same capitalist shenanigans on its users, the users will probably be more willing to support it with donations if they see something like this. Many other donation-funded sites have something similar.

Initially, it's probably fine to have it included in the server rules blurb on the side, but it should probably just be part of the API for mobile clients, and possibly communicated to other servers too? So if some valuable content is on an instance that's not doing well, you can deal with that. If it regularly gets valuable content but can't sustain itself, people might donate even if it's not their home instance. Otherwise, it can be copied somewhere safe, if it's basically abandoned.

DekkerNSFW,

Okay, this is a good article. I was on the fence about Meta, wondering how they'd cause any damage, and this article cleared that up for me.

DekkerNSFW,

That long borzoi snout has been a meme for quite a while now, often accompanied by a "let me do it for you... kermie", a snippet from a Muppets show where Miss Piggy sings to Kermit, at a high pitch.

DekkerNSFW,

My last two phones both got slow as their batteries got bad, and were basically like new after replacing them. My current phone doesn't allow swapping the batteries.

For someone thrifty, being able to replace the battery can extend a phone's life 2x or more. Even if you don't want to keep using it, you could still resell it or give it to someone who doesn't need the newest phones. Non-swappable batteries are a form of planned obsolescence, in addition to just being more compact and probably a little cheaper.

Anyone else think that spez might be the fall guy for the board?

As more and more articles and interviews come out about spez and how he's inspired by how Musk running Twitter, I genuinely can't believe he's this stupid. Anyone else think that we could see a repeat of what happened with Ellen Pao when all the gate subreddits were banned? All of these quotes from Spez are coming out, and the...

DekkerNSFW,

I disagree, to some extent. Yes, being wealthy makes people out of touch with reality, but it's definitely possible for wealthy people to pull their heads out of their asses and do some 4D chess stuff that nobody else saw coming. Companies often have motivations and deals going on that are kept secret from the public, so something that seems weird and arbitrary from outside can absolutely make sense from the inside.

In that context, it makes sense: if you see a company doing some weird shit you don't understand, you might wonder whether there's something going on beneath the surface that makes that a valid decision, and you'll never -truly- know until it either comes to fruition and turns out to have been smart (and usually, cruel) all along, or... some dumbass dude with emerald-mine-wealth goes bankrupt.

That said, wealthy people often lose sight of what normal people are like, and their attempted 4D chess sometimes just falls flat due to being so out of touch.

... Taking the money-hoarders' side makes me feel dirty. Fuck the rich and fuck capitalism. I just wanted to add that.

DekkerNSFW,

All sorts of nasty tricks to push people out of housing and buy up the homes cheaply, would be my first thought. They've made an art form out of stealing (or technically-not-stealing) things out from other people. But yeah, I don't have any particular examples ready right now, either.
