#Lemmy #Fediverse

Seems #Reddit had decided to kill off its user base by pulling a Twitter with its API.

For those who are unaware, lemmy and kbin to a lesser extent are in the early stages of a rapid growth in users, similar to the one Mastodon experienced in November last year.

In a move similar to Twitter, Reddit has all but confirmed that 3rd party apps will be locked out with their new API pricing, effectively forcing people to use the official app or nothing.

That has driven a lot of people to look for alternatives. I expect the wave in new users will ebb, but it will surge back again even larger once the 3rd party reddit apps are officially unusable.

We live in interesting times on the fediverse

🌶️ take: ChatGPT is Natural Language Processing's Netscape moment.

The Internet had existed for a while in 1995. However, Netscape's GUI-based browsing made the technology *usable* by the masses, creating an internet revolution.

LLMs have long existed. It was the GUI-based chat interaction of ChatGPT that made them usable by the masses.

At the heart, technology, especially usable ones, has always been about it.

@mzedp I work as a machine learning engineer and agree that certain AI technologies are useful: they can serve purposes that relieve suffering and undermine entrenched pools of power to make a better world. But the #LLM models that are getting all the hype are doing the opposite. They further centralize power and render people helpless by the fact that their decisions are deliberately obscure. The fact that we can use them to perform certain tasks does them good Trojan horses.

I just got #ChatGPT to help me tweak my #Emacs configuration. It worked!

Something big is happening in Mastodon over the weekend. Here is my graph, updated. Right now Mastodon is growing ~3 times faster than Twitter.

The real story is about who, not how many, were laid off by Twitter (my latest on Substack)

Managed to install #Arch on my laptop, with the help of a little tutorial:

I guess I'm now entitled to use the phrase/meme "BTW I use arch" ? 😂

I'll play with #i3 later

How Accurate is our #TensorFlow Lite Model on #BL602? Can we do better?

I use a password hasher

@fribbledom
On paper can also be a password manager. Physical access thieves are more likely to steal a high value item like a phone or a laptop than a paper notebook.

@dansup probably pay for it if they didn't steal all my information and use it against me.

“The Signal for Help (or the Violence at Home Signal for Help) is a single-handed gesture that can be used by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help over a video call, or in-person.”

@eloquence I do not agree. Choice of words is always a good topic.

You just don't have to be an ass about it.

Shoutout to , #Arch might not be my chosen distro but your documentation has saved me many times over and I'm thankful again today.

@thenewoil Upgraded some hours ago, so cool that this distro feels more stable than stability itself Vanilla #gnome-#debian experience and all good.
