Free ML project idea: train on famous singers, write parody songs, call it Weird A.I. Yankovic.
@thor I've always thought it's a "do onto others as you want done onto you" thing, they want nudes, they would be happy to receive nudes, so they're sending nudes and hope for reciprocation.

Ech #microsoft #wtf? You want my name exact as on my ID. But you don't want my name as it exists. Ł is not special character, it is a fucking letter.
@AubreyDeLosDestinos tak, jest to dokładnie spadaj na bambus marudo ton CO₂
@mgorny nice, I'll add "knowing better than users what they want" to the list of reasons I'm happy to no longer use Gentoo
After what happened with crypto, I'm afraid of what bullshit about AI will become popular opinion among internet experts of everything.
@BrodieOnLinux except IPv6 already works today and isn't fully adapted purely due to inertia.

The funny thing about stupid anti-communist memes is that no matter how dumb they are, unironic commie beliefs are dumber.

For all the good the FSF has done over the years, if you've ever wondered why no one takes them seriously anymore it's stuff like this. Just link the issue tracker what are you doing https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/googles-decision-to-deprecate-jpeg-xl-emphasizes-the-need-for-browser-choice-and-free-formats

The practical consequence of using LLMs to generate code is that many developers will find they have unwittingly moved themselves into a role they were probably trying to avoid: they have automated the creation of legacy code and have redefined their job role as debugging and fixing such code.

If a public agency wants to create an official Mastodon server it controls (or use one the state has set up) — that's great! They should do that. I'd love to see a dedicated National Weather Service instance, for example.
But this shouldn't happen at the expense of having their web sites actually be **useful**. So start putting all this information on the web again. Get that stuff back into those dormant RSS feeds.
Then pipe that information wherever you want (including Mastodon)!

Scandinavian surnames are mostly patronyms ending in -son or -sen.
there isn't as much of a tradition of having job titles (Smith, Thatcher, Wright) as surnames.

@thor The nice thing about nuclear power plants is that we don't even need that many. As for industrialisation though, I don't think it's *as* bad as you made it seem, the developing countries have access to all the technology we've developed and its energy efficiency and don't have to go through the same process we did. LED lights are a nice example, EU banning incandescent bulbs 60W+ created a big market for more efficient light sources and caused a big speed-up in development of LED bulbs which until then were just toys for the rich but now are used worldwide for massive energy savings.

A new version of #madblog is available! 🎉
It now comes #PWA support out of the box - manually creating a `manifest.json` is no longer required. So your own blog or web notebook can easily be installed as a PWA with zero additional configuration - yay!
For those who aren't familiar with it, madblog is a platform I developed to have a simple but good-looking blog with zero JS that is *really* Markdown-based.
When I say Markdown-based, I usually don't mean "it has a WYSIWYG editor that supports Markdown and will store your data on a database behind your back".
No, I really mean "you create your directory with Markdown files, run madblog to use it as a content directory, and nothing else is required".
If your blog pages are stored as Markdown files in a git repo, then running your blog somewhere is as simple as cloning the repo, creating a simple `config.yaml` in it, and running `madblog blog-dir`.
It currently powers both my blogs (https://blog.platypush.tech and https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com).
Ideas and feedback are welcome!
@realcaseyrollins @freemo true, not all algos are personalised like trends on Mastodon. But all that are require at least tracking what you like to work at all, and tracking what people that liked the things you like also like to be actually good. I don't know how iTunes smart playlists work, but even if they manage to only work from the context of the rest of the playlists / rules on your side and tags and the like on potential recommendations' side, it's not something that would work nearly as well for social media posts.
@freemo probably the biggest obstacle would be that algorithms require telemetry and fediverse has a vast over-representation of privacy nuts that religiously believe all kinds of telemetry are evil no matter what they're used for.
@thor @rohrkrepierer@merovingian.club I tried three times but cannot "render" the relative pitches in my head enough to recognise it.
@thor I'm completely nonmusical, which music is that?
