I totally agree, and I never understood how adding a parasitic middle-man is supposed to make things cheaper.

“without it, we would have to pay out of pocket for ad supported services!”

Actually, I don’t think we would for a lot of things. The internet existed long before it was advertising funded. Web-pages used to be things that people made because they were passionate about what they put on those pages. Advertising only came later.

Hell, there are still plenty of things that people build and maintain because they like it, not because they make money from it. How many people work for free on things like Wikipedia, FOSS, Fediverse, etc. just because they want to see it succeed?

This sounds more like the Democrats than it does the “moderate left”

I actually have no idea, it just looks like an AI drawing to me. The fact that the glass is answering makes it a bit sus

the AI that generated the image!

/me laughs at OpenAI, then prompts his self-hosted AI to laugh at them as well

I mean… Biden did that, why wouldn’t Kamala have done the same? She promised to continue the Biden policies.

And FWIW, I did vote against fascism

I aggressively block those notifications, or remove the app. If they can’t respect my boundaries, they aren’t worth my time.

or… they said “Neither party fights for me. Both are trying to screw me over. Why should I support either one?”

8=%=D

or… It could be the Democrats running terrible campaigns with terrible candidates, who ran on the coattails of a terrible president that put us in this situation.

Why are you angry at them, rather than being angry at the candidate that ran a terrible campaign? Or the party that ran a terrible candidate?

I always find it telling when people get mad at those who fight against things like genocide, rather than getting mad at the people who fought for more genocide

If the responsibility is being shelled out to “the algorithm”, then doesn’t that mean they have less responsibility? Shouldn’t they be paid less if they have less responsibility?

Something tells me they won’t see the logic in that though.

Not at all, you should never trust the client as they can spoof. But you can’t install malware or harvest data as effectively from the server, so shady companies generally don’t try it that way.

I think most protest voters did consider Trump a threat. But they also saw how the Democratic party was doing nothing to fix the problems that Trump utilized to gain power.

Maybe if the Democrats started fighting for the people, instead of their rich doners, the people would fight for them.

• writing code and code-commits
• generating joke/funny images
• reminding me of code-syntax for infrequently used languages
• sending art project prompts to my artistic friends
• an IRC bot for my friends to talk to
• helping me run a D&D game
• researching information rather than searching (when I don’t really care about getting an accurate answer)

I still hate it. Sure, the economy under Trump is worse, but that doesn’t mean the economy under Biden wasn’t also terrible.

One thing that I find useful is that you can do --filesync with an existing zip, which means it only updates the files if the date/size don’t match. This saves a bunch of time on large archives that don’t need to be created from scratch every time.

How does this compare to something like openwebui https://docs.openwebui.com/ ?
