The good news is that this may cure my laziness. I’ve been preparing to leave most of google service for a while now.

At this point, beyond enduring, I’m afraid there is no “non violent” options. And to be clear, I don’t think non-violent options are going to improve anything, just that there’s not much else to do.

I’m still not clear what the first “A” in maga is supposed to reference, seeing what’s happening these days. All I know is that it’s clearly not “America” or a reference to the US.

Not having to be available at the ready for people is great.

If you arrange for a call, through another asynchronous mechanism, then it’s fine. If you cold-call me to ask about the weather (or, more seriously, anything that could have been a text message), I’ll leave decapitated horse head in your fridge.

If someone doesn’t care about themselves, why would they care about other or littering.

You’re nass.

Sure. Only problem is, it’s a people issue. Some people making ai generated content may be honest and willing to abide to such rule, but most are proud to not even read the rules and just blast shitty slop left and right. For this second category of people, when you point it to them, a very small percentage of them goes “oh, sorry”. The vast majority just keep posting until blocked.

Granted, this experience mostly stems from every media posting sites out there, so it may be a bit biased…

Most of the safeguards were removed in trump’s previous term, and now the way’s open.

Good luck.

it suffers from the same enshittification problems that have killed Twitter, Reddit, BoingBoing, Digg, Slashdot

I’ll easily agree that these platforms are bad, but saying anything “killed” them is very, VERY generous. Reddit and slashdot are very much still a thing, and they don’t look like they’re slowing down, despite the supposedly insurmountable issues. Keep in mind that the goal of a “social network” (for lack of a better word) is having an audience. Reddit literally shat on its user base, AND on the people that kept the site usable, and communities are still thriving there.

Because there hasn’t been much billionaire behind bluesky for a long time now, and “spinning up a mastodon instance” is the exact reason the general people are avoiding mastodon in the first place.

The goal is to reach people, not to promote a pure solution that’s repulsive to the masses.

People go to the platform that’s easy, attractive and works, instead of the very beautiful, finely crafted, exquisite solution that requires days of reading followed by fiddling every other day to barely get the same immediate result, assorted with hidden surprises like hidden moderation and silent failure situation that leads to fragmentation of the whole network. What a surprise.

Also, “don’t get pedantic with me” does not sit well with the current goals of bluesky. Sure, right now, they focused on making something that works and is usable by everyone. Whoop fucking doo, that’s exactly what mastodon/lemmy/most activitypub services skipped. And that’s why the general public look at them with contempt. I can’t see the future (maybe you can, lucky you), but for now, bluesky works, and the plan they’re still following up to now is aimed toward a decentralized solution.

Some people used to put “Biden did this” sticker on everything. In a few… months? weeks? I can see a trend of “you all did this” stickers popping up.

Honestly, it’s kinda impressive that this scheme still works in 2025. How low can people go, I wonder.

In an interesting plot twist, it would actually be a net positive for said Tesla brand in the long run, too.

Video decoding is resource intensive. We’re used to it, we have hardware acceleration for some of it, but spewing something around 52 million pixels every second from a highly compressed data source is not cheap. I’m not sure how both compare, but small LLM models are not that costly to run if you don’t factor their creation in.

It’s unlikely to even replace good subtitles, fan or not. It’s just a nice thing to have for a lot of content though.

How to “delete” them? Words really have no meaning anymore.

That’s horrible. Also, that market seems worryingly large these days.

Pff. This is another waste of resource for AI stuff. I’ve been keeping… things… in small cages for years, without all that techno mumbo jumbo.

Aside from a handful of business that tried to do that and failed miserably, some of them failing in actual court, you mean?
