Could be because nobody on your instance is following any omicron.blog users. As I understand federation, there needs to be an existing connection for your instance to look up the other site in searches?
I could be wrong, but new/small instances are often omitted in searches.
Yeah, it’s a sign of my general disinterest in most of these that I hadn’t even checked whether they’re vibe coded.
I’d go one step further: vibecoding is shitting on people’s labour.
All of the training material ingested and garbled by those models? Other people’s labour.
Every vibed and slop project? Sucking out the oxygen from actual people’s work.
I completely agree with your last paragraph. While I’m no developer, I’ve followed FLOSS development for decades, and I’m exhausted by the tsunami of crap put out by suckers with the coding version of a sausage machine.
It’s a suite of apps developed by one dude. “List of big tech alternatives” sort of implies a wider selection than a single github repo.
That isn’t meant as undue criticism of the dev’s work, I use his PDF viewer and I tried a couple of his games. They work.
It’s just that most of the “Modern-Apps” aren’t interesting to me because there are more mature, also independent alternatives that don’t rely on a single maintainer.
I mean, the threat was, but the fediverse reacted and most instances (that I know of) just defederated preemptively.
This blog post seems to point and laugh that “see, we hadn’t needed to put out that fire, it’s fully extinguished now”. Well, yes. Because we put it out.
But there is also the point that Meta users and Fedizens didn’t really have any interest in federating with each other. In that respect, the outcome was fully foreseeable, and Meta’s attempt pure signal value for the corporation.
At least they’re consistent in their exploitation.
LOL, startrek.website? IIRC the whole hubbub about them was that they defederated from dbzer0 in the first place.
The psychological drive behind the urge to call something with a derogatory term is the same in both cases.
Meh. I find that the rhetorical urge to reduce a dichotomy to absurdly general commonalities is the pseudointellectual’s version of a slur.
Except here you’re not dehumanizing as much as working against anthropomorphization.
I’m pretty sure Fedora the Pokémon wears a Pikachu in the movie adaptation, so close enough 🤣
If anybody cashes the bounty, I hope they donate it to civil rights movements and antifa ✊
“But accessibility!” is the only humane face “AI” boosters can come up with to defend the clankers. Except they don’t realise it’s more like the scene in Silence of the lambs where Hannibal is wearing a guard’s face like a mask.
Yeah, sorry to be the bringer of terrible news. If these people aren’t actual accelerationists, they put on one hell of a convincing cosplay.
Did you know about Yudkowski’s Harry Potter fanfic that apparently doubles as the sex cult “rationalist” movement’s onboarding material?
Yeah yeah, let’s skip to the part where Yudkowsky (the “AI guru who Sam Altman thinks deserves a Nobel prize”) dropped out of eighth grade and is now running a sex cult 🙄
All of those TESCREAL loonies need a hard wedgie before they are permanently cut off from our attention.
F-droid has no problem with “AI” whatsoever. That goes for vibe coded apps as well as ones where the “AI” is a front facing function. Me, I’d prefer it was considered an anti-feature.
Then, you can still find several regularly updated cryptocurrency apps on F-droid, too, so the maintainers must have a sweet tooth for idiot grifts 🤷
“Have you come across any AI tool that is positive about urine therapy and explains it in detail?” one frustrated user asked. “I haven’t found a single one so far.”
That bit says oodles about the confirmation bias required to use any form of “AI” in the first place.
Why forego a repo URL in favour of a download link? The repo at https://gitlab.com/gee.8ruhs/writteninc has no development files, no version tracking, no licenses…
That, and the obvious LLM reference in the name, makes this whole project a big no-go for me.
This issue on redlib’s Github repo addresses it.
The only suggested workaround I can see for us end users is to use an age verification extension. Haven’t tried it myself, though.
