but like, they could just fork those clients and add those features

eh, i don’t think things’ll have time to regress that far before the pendulum swings back, plus it’s only getting easier to set up your own connections over long distances.

What i can see disappearing are things like youtube and global multiplayer gaming, because that’s just so incredibly data-heavy. But lightweight stuff like sane websites, forums, chats… that’s quite feasible on something like a globally interconnected mesh. At worst you’ll have to wait a bit for things to load, but like… we would probably benefit from that…

honestly i’ve been slowly working towards that kinda lifestyle for a few years now and i kinda hope the “internet” fucking dies so i’m free to go all the way, it just seems like what things should be like if our recent development wasn’t so directed by corporate interests or just happened more slowly.

Old-timey life was really quite a lot better in many ways, like we’re just not evolved to constantly read about every single horrible event that happens to any human, and we need to be a little bit bored sometimes.
But also smartphones are fucking awesome and i like being able to call emergency services if i’ve fallen and i can’t get up, which even the actual amish recognize.

Also the aesthetics/vibes of judicious mixing of technological eras is fucking impeccable, i want the countryside to look like Hobbiton, small towns like 18th century sweden, cities to look like 1920’s new york with everything VIOLENTLY art deco, and all of it connected with trams and trains that look like metal caterpillars and where 30-minute departure frequency is seen as bordering on not even having service.

hope for the best, prepare to go amish

when you say “every single iteration”, does that include stuff like lineageos? Because that’s what i’ve been using for ages and i still struggle to believe how non-shitty it is.

ironically google’s pixel lineup is one of the best options available, i’ve been using that for many years now and it’s so fucking easy to install lineage on them.

seriously, lineageos after having dived into every setting is by far the best mobile experience these days, i’m almost never even slightly annoyed by it.

the most basic rule of thumb that should ALWAYS be held to is that a human has to take responsibility for the actions of a tool, computers cannot be held accountable.

this kinda feels like the hypothetical bartender kicking out the friendly nazi, all of a sudden there’s a big fuss and they scream that the bartender is prejudiced.

incredibly relieving to see it happen, having codeberg turn into an impossible to navigate pile of AI slop would be miserable.

how the fuck is anyone taking these discussions seriously lmao

mayhaps even use it as a motivation to improve 👉👈

Fucking backwards ass shit. You’re damn well on the right track: LLMs tend to avoid swearing (it’s kinda funda-fucking-mentally at odds with how most companies want them to be used), so i think we should respond by cursing like sailors, especially creative swears with wordplay and shit.

It doesn’t guarantee it’s not LLM writing but if nothing else it’s more entertaining.

I assume you realize that saying this implies you consider everything on that list weird, which makes you look like a dick.

see this all makes sense if you have, like, 10 accounts. But 100 accounts is just fucking strange

I’d add on that stuff like this should NOT be the default (unless that is specifically what you advertise your software for, and even then you should give a clear option to disable or change it), because users (even admins using the software for their instance) will generally not configure things much.
What should be done is have it as an opt-in, or prompt the user to pick an option.

If one believes their blocklist/filter is in good faith and beneficial to others and to the world in general, then one shouldn’t feel a need to force others to use it, only inform them that it exists.

please sir, may i have some tokens before my context window-

Hello, how may i help you?

better yet: we KNOW corporate social media is fucking riddled to the bone with filters, hell people talk about “The Algorithm” (praise be) all the time.

And it’s just considered normal. It is how it is. Who cares.

a lot of the textures in minecraft are already based on each other, so i’d be curious how efficient you can make that

To prevent it getting lost i want to point this out in its own top-level comment:

Keep in mind that as the copyright holder you can publish your code under as many licenses as you wish, and charge for whichever licenses you wish.
You could publish it for free under AGPL, charge a smaller sum for developers who want/need a more permissive license like BSD 3-clause, and charge out the ass for a full on proprietary license.

Do note though that you’d have to think about how to handle contributions, as that will be copyright of the respective authors and thus you can’t just merrily go and change the license of their contributions. You’d have to ask them to sign a Contributor License Agreement or just straight up manage the codebases separately (which is a little bit of a mess).
