it sucks that this is the new normal.

2000 word slop response.

omg yes. half the battle is sorting the signal from the noise returned by the llm… most of which appears as a ‘coloring’… some attempt to humanize the response. copilot spends more time telling me how awesome i am than spitting out the regex or direct link i want. STFU already.

early shakedown by the fascist in chief?! this cuz they are going to lose the house?

old fashioned for me was combing the newsgroups hoping some poor schlop was in the same boat. painful.

no, i dont particularly think its necessary for young folk to be tortured because i was. if search tools are better to find the same obscure reference, then it doesnt matter.

it matters when they dont understand the solution… sometimes the journey to finding an answer is a training session all on its own into whatever context… if youre just handed an answer you might not care why it works which hinders growth. i still dont think we should force people to suffer just because we did. there has to be a happy medium.

ill use the llm tools where they fit and offer efficiency, which is fairly narrow for me.

ha, i think youll need a bit more of a qualifier. ive fired a gun lots, and i cant hit the side of the proverbial barn

ha yeah cuz a body shot is 100% death.

isnt the brain like 80% of the head?

head = obviously unprotected. body=unknown

i get your point, but still seems like the wrong way to go

who would waste time on a body shot?

i am big into the oldschool shit. my first browser was lynx

one of the reasons i chose to use an mbin instance is so i could access the threadiverse and the twitterverse at the same time. I can bookmark comments/posts and its pretty easy to check the peeps i follow if i miss their stuff in the server feed which is entirely temporal and can be limited to subscribed content.

fucks apps though. i use firefox on mobile/desktop and that seems to work for me. https://moist.catsweat.com/

im not saying the fediverse isnt without its serious challenges. that said;

sorry, not letting bluesky havin my keys… but you do you.

i just dont understand people putting their effort into a piece of shit, corporate backed protocol like AT when AP is already more mature, in use, and with large contingent of active developers.

its portability is at the whim of those running the system. its still not your data. you can take your pod… and go where? all those other routers that will startup just any day now? after 3 years i think there’s 2 routers… and they dont talk to eathother. hilarious.

any day now!

its just twitter 2.0 with more steps and all the same executives.

sorry, not all of us are independently wealthy. some of us have to work for other people who require m$.

unfortunately, atproto doesnt scale horizontally as AcitivytPub does. so, really, no one should use it.

usually the people asking this end up at nostr… as close to true anonymity as you can get and all the worst of humanity that goes along with it.

friends dont let friends use nostr.

IE, it is a protocol-level change and would require modification of that specification (ActivityPub).

youll need to be more specific on what you mean by ‘federating’, but the answer is generally, no. domains are fundamentally core to the infrastructure.

its like asking can we have a phone system without phone numbers… suuure, but then its not really a phone system anymore, is it?

can we segment user addressing from server addressing? potentially… thats where it get interestingly complex.

this is the way

“free market”… oops, cept for those things.

People don’t subscribe to institutions with no credibility and don’t provide value in return.

ha, ok. have you met many people? id like to introduce you to an entirely fake valuation we call the “stock market”… where nothing is real and unfortunately for poor people, everything matters

you should know that local and state laws have been enacted specifically to prevent communal telcom services in many places

…because your politicians are bought and paid for. good luck.

its owned an run by a nazi who is best friends with a presidential fascist currently destroying all public media.

ya think?!

i hope some future president campaigns on the promise to rip out every molecule of gold, every fixture installed by that orange piece of shit and put the whitehouse back they way it was.
