@joeldebruijn i think maybe it's less that i want posts filtered and more than I want some to be compressed for noisier folks in my feed so they take up less vertical space. something like a summary block that shows "@Devin posted about COVID, horses, Gentoo... (8 posts)"
and i can configure what criteria triggers compression ('clustering'?): number of posts, diversity of topics (may use a language model), temporal separation, etc
@kuba

we really need some kind of #mastodon feed mix controls. like, say I'm subscribed to someone who posts every 5 minutes, and I want to see their posts, but I don't want my entire feed to be just their posts. idk if that's a client level thing or a mastodon server level thing. i don't think it's #activitypub level

My friend was hiding this absolute *beast* from me under his desk 😳

I've long been in the "git isn't that hard. I don't get why y'all are whining" camp, but actually having to explain how to use #Git to newbies, I begin to see the argument

@izaya ah shit, why did i think feh and scrot were suckless? anyway..

@izaya i did like surf, but it was kinda crashy back when i tried it.(i was on a whole suckless kick. still use dmenu, feh, and scrot)
also, the bookmarks story wasn't totally fleshed out compared to firefox which is kind of a dealbreaker

@kristinHenry i don't think i understand the "consent" argument.
tl;dr: to me, AI-generated X doesn't look fundamentally different from third-party human-generated X with influence from many artists

what it comes down to for me is how are you harmed by this thing-- how specific artists are being harmed by these things. even if your dall-e or your midjourney takes prompts in the form, "... in the style of Kristin Henry" it's not able to give me the real thing since *you* making it is part of the real thing--so, it's a different product and I don't go to the AI if i want you.
OTOH, if it's getting a filler image for my slide show or news article where i want "something like Kristin Henry", but I don't want to license from you and also don't want to risk adverse legal action for copyright infringement, then maybe I skirt the issue with the AI generated image. then, the problem is how does that AI product differ from a third-party human artist's work product where this third party is really good at matching style, but maybe works for way less than you do. I still see it as a difference in degree rather than kind and don't see the human generated work there as a problem unless there's fraud or impersonation involved.

@izaya is py2 still in debian? I know I was able to completely remove it sometime... last year, I think. that was Sid though. Stable is a whole nother story

@peterdrake "see, the thing about inbox zero that people misunderstand is that it's not about having zero items in your inbox: it's about the amount of time you should spend dealing with items coming through your inbox..."

@lucifargundam IDK, I'm kidding. do I need to add <joke> tags for you?

anytime someone asks, "how did you hear about us?" always reply, "Internet," and provide no further details

@lucifargundam guess it's not for you then🤷‍♂️
