AI bots don't 'hallucinate' they just make shit up as they go along mixed with some stuff that they found in google, and tell it in a confident manner so that it looks like they know what they are talking about.
Techbro CEO's are just creeps. They don't believe their own bullshit, and know full well that their crap is not for the benefit of humanity, because otherwise they wouldn't all be doomsday preppers. It all a perverse result of American worship of self-made billionaires.
Misinformation is misinformation, whether it is intentional or not. And it's not farfetched that soon someone will launch a propaganda bot with biased training data that intentionally spreads fake news.
I am not a computer engineer or a software developer. I have never set up a server in my life. I want to set up a server on my old computer by watching videos and doing the same things that were done. Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old? We will be very happy if someone who...
Have you ever installed Linux and played around with it? If not, that is where you should start. For learning I would choose something like Archlinux, which will require you to get your hands dirty (as a matter of speaking) and look up things so that you learn step by step. It has to most extensive wiki of any distribution. Search youtube for "arch linux install" for some videos that will give you an idea of what is involved.
Only once you find your way comfortably on Linux, can you think running your own Lemmy.
There's plenty of general tech comms and a load of programming focused ones, including a whole instance in programming.dev, but are there any that are more centered on Help Desk, IT, Sysadmin, etc?
It baffles me that so many don't see it for what it is.
Meta contacts their competitor, and says that they want to build a competing product, and want us as competitor to help them with that. How can you possibly fall for that. Meta can already use activitypub for whatever they are building without any need to contact anyone from the Fediverse. The only possible reason they contact instance admins is because Meta wants to dictate the terms on how to Fediverse operates.

Reddit CEO and co-founder Steve Huffman, 33, is one of many wealthy names who have begun to invest in private bunkers.
"I own a couple of motorcycles. I have a bunch of guns and ammo. Food. I figure that, with that, I can hole up in my house for some amount of time," Huffman continued.
The dead Internet theory is an online conspiracy theory that asserts that the Internet now consists almost entirely of bot activity and automatically generated content that is manipulated by algorithmic curation, marginalizing organic human activity.
Blink is a fork of Webkit. And Webkit was the original rendering engine of Chrome, before Google replaced it with Blink. So the DuckDuckGo browser belongs to the chromium family.
A very detailed article about the whole Meta (Instagram/Threads) vs. Fediverse discussions. It's a long read, but well-worth it if you're interested in the subject.
Not convinced by the e-mail analogy rebuttal. There are plenty of small e-mail providers thriving alongside the giants.
Indeed. It's a bit of fake news that the e-mail market is dominated by a handfull of big players. It's enterely possible to self-host a small e-mail server and have to e-mail accepted without problems. Of course, don't run and open relay, and make sure your reverse dns and DMARC and DKIM records are correct.
The arguments in the article about open protocols misses the point though. This is not a technical issue. It's also not a capitalist vs anti-capitalist issue, but a policy issue of who you want to associate with.
It should work the same way as adding a community from another lemmy instance.
Go to communities and paste the url https://kbin.social/m/chess in the search box. It won't find anything, but if you change the selection box from communties to all, you should see !chess in the result. Click on the and subscribe.
