Just checking if other people see the topics within this group. Because I don't?

I drive ten miles to the next town over to pick up my prescriptions because the woman who works at the counter in my local pharmacy is my neighbour and I don't want her to know I have haemorrhoids.

It *should* be anarchic - pushing against our trends of authority and hierarchy in real life society.
It *should* be liberatory - it is in-scope to make people more free, and not just in narrow ways.
It *should* be art - not just engineering, not just "technical merit" as judged by white boys.
It *should* be across all arbitrary political borders, or it's not liberatory.
And it *should* encompass far more than just code, and not put code on a special pedestal or devalue other forms of art.

If we're theorycrafting alternative acronyms/movements to FOSS, I kinda like ALAARM - Anarchic Liberatory Art Across Regions and Mediums.
Not just because it would let me comedically reclaim people calling me an alarmist, but that ain't a bad perk.
in the uk, very occasionally, there is a feather or bit of chicken poo on your egg. nobody is really bothered or offended by this. american eggs, on the other hand, are power-washed to remove all traces of it, because in america, it is actually illegal to know about The Cloaca
@jk I don’t have a problem with this. I do object to calling pulp “bits” which is revolting.
@amoroso Ah thanks, I was wondering why would I get traffic from there 😅
@julien A lot of us are apperently wondering.
President Trump Calls In to C-SPAN's Washington Journal Primetime

@jalefkowit He sounds like a geriatric patient in a nursing home where they just babble away and you can’t interpret and ask questions because it’s all nonsense except this guy is in charge of really important stuff and no one around him will stop it. There are no adults left in the room.

If someone tells you they support Israel, this is what they support and you’re clearly talking to a sick fuck. Make sure you tell them as much and in so many words. (And make sure everyone around you hears you.)
(That’s what I’ll be doing, anyway.)

Such a cool shape, I wasn't aware that potter plotters are a thing!
@sml These were constructed by taking a very standard 3D printer and attaching a thick syringe manually filled with clay instead of a traditional nozzle. Then pressurised air was fed into the syringe to push the clay out in a semi-controlled fashion.
One of the problems with this design is that if the air breaks through the clay in the syringe, for example when there is too little clay left, the flow of air ruins the piece.
Are you getting unusual website traffic allegedly from aocr.org?
This post analyzes the suspicious traffic claiming referral from aocr.org, which the author links to likely AI scrapers from a service operated by ByteDance. The access statistics of my blog show similar traffic, including the spike around October 27-30.
@amoroso Ah thanks, I was wondering why would I get traffic from there 😅

It's very important to call out, criticize and push out LLM usage for creative expression (writing, art, music, code).
But we also should not make "hunting LLM usage" our identity because it can also bind so much energy we could invest in building something better.
(I am in the target audience for this post)
I had a wonderful art teacher, Carolyn M. I asked her what made an artist great.
She said, we praise the archer who shoots at the distant target. There's no praise in shooting at the broad side of a barn.
It's all quite cleverly done, rather like those stiff Georgian portraits, mechanical and no less artificial. Reynolds, Gainsborough, we ooh and ah over them but a goodly fraction of their work was assembly line trade.

@misha@bonfire.opentech-auc.org @lelehier@kakapo.social that was a widget originally designed with jacobin, we want to expand the list so that each instance / user can finetune their dashboard...suggestions welcome github.com/bonfire-networks/...
@ivan@bonfire.cafe @lelehier@kakapo.social
Interesting.
Although I see a lot of potential in the widgets and the dashboard, what I would like as a basis is the ability to turn a lot of the features and widgets off.
We are setting up the Bonfire instance for our student association, and I kind of want to present them with the simplest interface possible.
@techokami @glyph @gemelen This implies the existence of an editor named micro which is 285MB, and another editor named pico which is only 285 bytes
@mcc @techokami @glyph @gemelen The micro editor https://micro-editor.github.io is around 12-13 MB

Banned from lemmy.ml for suggesting spam was Russia
Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.
I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.
Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
