Cybertrucks are 17 times more likely to kill you in a fiery way than the Ford Pinto, the previous record holder.

It was full of antivax bullshit during the pandemic so I feel really angry about it. Fuck Odysee.


Yes although what tends to happen is the capitalists just take MIT licenced code and make bank off it.
This is all moot now that LLMs can launder the code anyway.


Only if you use GPL, not MIT.


I can confirm - it is slop.


I have this printed out and stuck to the fridge

In the article the chatter is a woman but it can just as easily be a man. So all those customers are sexting with men half the time, heh.


The PieFed web UI has a daily limit you can set, btw. Doesn’t work with apps but you can uninstall all the apps and use PieFed as a pwa which is very app-y.


I guess if it were effective then Google wouldn’t provide it.
There is an app called App Block which is a bit more hard to get around.
Perhaps the key is finding things to do that are better. Volunteer work, study, get a dog, etc


This may come as a surprise to you so brace yourself.
I am not stupid.


In the settings, isn’t there a “digital wellbeing and parental controls” area? I’m pretty sure that’s a stock Android thing.



Maybe they’ll relaunch as a piefed instance, lol


No, but there is on PieFed.social. Mods and admins have functionality to check any post or comment for LLM-generated text. There’s more stuff too.
Generally I share my findings with Lemmy admins so they can ban the account.
I think this is a pretty big threat to the fediverse and social media in general and am taking it very seriously. At the moment the amount of slop is pretty low but we need to be ready for the deluge when it comes.
Make sure the ram is upgradable. A lot of them are soldered on these days and you’re stuck with that amount forever.


It seems as if showing that the air defense systems are not working 100% is being seen as a threat to the government.


The world uses 102 million barrels per day.

And the article says they’ll be releasing it over the course of 120 days. Maybe it’ll bring the price down by a few percent, not enough to be noticeable.
It’s just not practical to store enough oil to make any long term difference, we use too much of it and it’s too valuable to leave lying around unused.


!general@activitypub.space, that one. Yep.


There is a convention of putting a FEDERATION.md file in the root of your project (there is a FEP about it but I can’t remember what it is, heh) which lists the FEPs your project implements.
e.g. https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/FEDERATION.md
There is no standardised API endpoint for discovering this info so basically you just need to lurk in all the dev spaces you can and watch what they’re talking about, stalk each other’s codeberg/github issue queues and PRs and just cope with the jank.


Yes theoretically you could have any type in there but votes are the biggest inefficiency in the system so I’ve only implemented it for them.
There are some nodebb forums that federate with us, which are intended for AP dev discussions - !technical-discussion@activitypub.space for example. Not very active. Also some Matrix channels, again not exactly humming. Everyone is pretty focused on their own projects, really.
huh, TIL. Thanks!
So it’s just 17 times more likely to burn you to death than average cars.
