To follow up what I said minutes ago, they donāt even want you to think of the initial idea, they want you to be a mindless organism, the AI algorithm analyses and tells what you should make, down to the script, so that you get the highest number of people possible to click it and see some AI generated advertisement, blended seemly into whatās no lonher even your work.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I donāt even think the premise of this makes much sense. If an artist is convinced they cannot compete, with the āAIā learning models, we already have today, they must have some self esteem issues, strange opinion on what the purpose of art is, or just be someone mindlessly redrawing already established things and not be all that good at it.
It might be connected to some typically non-artists assumption, that the more time and effort the artwork took to accomplish, the more artistic it is - this can be further twisted in these peoples minds, into the āmore pointless detail = more artistic artā meme. AI often ads pointless and illogical details everywhere, āso itās obviously better, than the human artist, who drew the originalā.
Some people just enjoy having the picture they wanted or having the status of an artist to brag about and donāt actually enjoy the artistic process of discovery and small decisions, made while drawing, that shape the outcome into something, only you could have created.
Happy to report that the neighbor has started playing Tschaikowski on their piano. And theyāre getting really good at it! This is awesome. š
i switched my bookmarks site from espial (unmaintained project) to linkding, and while iāll miss espialās simplicity, i do appreciate linkdingās power and the provided API.
at first i got auth working with my SSO (authelia) and was happy, but i want my public bookmarks available without login⦠and i couldnāt configure my proxy to make that work, because of issues with sub paths, which sucks. so i switched to linkdingās built-in auth. inconvenient, but worth it to share my bookmarks.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org sooo pretty! sucks about the dead end tho
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thatās alright haha! i donāt expect anyone to listen/watch in full or with full attention bc itās so long lmao
the thing with PHP for me is that i⦠feel like it hits a kind of simplicity that i can understand? itās so plain but can be very powerful. i quite like that. as much as i can learn something infinitely more powerful, PHP hits a comfortable thing where i can handle things like backend sqlite DBs AND how a page is rendered, without requiring a complex frontend with its own quirks (like ruby on rails, which as much as i know and love it, can be heavy).
but i totally get you! PHP security is very scary. iām always worried that iām messing something up. itās why the PHP application iām working on i have dockerized by default for a small but extra layer of protection
iāll try to not get discouraged tysm for your advice

@prologic@twtxt.net Thatās an interesting premise in that article:
The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already producesāor soon will.
This is like saying itās pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, thereās always someone or something thatās better than you at a particular job.
If we focus too much on ācompetitionā, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I donāt know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. š¤ I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? š¤£

Zum Entsetzen aller Beteiligten, wie auch umstehender Personen und einiger schamfreier Gaffer, welche sich an jenem tosenden Unheil zu ergƶtzen vermochten, folgte nun des Wochensortiments schrecklichste GeiĆel: šÆšš šøššššš.
Und es sollten sich die Wolken teilen, um über ihnen nimmer endende Irrungen und Wirrungen an bovinem FƤkal und fremdgetriebener Lethargie zu erbrechen, auf dass sie zu erkennen gezwungen wƤren, welche Urkraft der irrealen Zusammenkunft letztlich Herrschaft über sie darstellen sollte: šÆšš ššššššššššš.
So zogen sie alsbald hin, zu tun wie ihnen geheiĆen, wohlgleich sie ā diesem Schauerspiel trotzend ā Trost suchten im einzigen ihnen sicher geglaubten Elixir, das dem Abgrund unter ihnen gleichend tiefschwarz glitzernd Erlƶsung oder mithin als MindestmaĆ Linderung versprach, lag jenes doch in unmittelbarer NƤhe befindlich hoffnungsschürend bereit:

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I only listened to you while going through my photos, so I did not pay very close attention. :-)
Since you have a proper server ā haha, not just one ā and hence are not limited, I suggest you learn a real programming language and donāt waste your time with this PHP mess. It might have improved a wee bit since I was a kid, but it felt like some hacked together shit. The defaults also were questionable at best, it was easier to hold it wrong than right. This stands testament to bad design and is especially terrible from a security point of view.
Youāre right, programming is like any other craft. You only truly learn by actually doing it. And this just takes time. Very long time to master it. Or as close to as it gets. The more you know, the more you realize what else you donāt know (yet). Itās a never ending process. So, take it easy, donāt get discouraged, happy hacking and enjoy the endeavor! :-)
We had sun, clouds, wind, rain and a whole lot of fun on our trip to the Wasserberg. Weāve been out seven hours in total, not bad at all for all those kilometers. We added on some detours to check out a pond Iāve been introduced by a mate a few years back.
After some (expensive) tucker at the Wasserberghaus, we tried to actually visit the summit this time. However, thereās nothing to see, just a rough logging trail (46-49). That was a dead end, so we had to turn around. It was some nice exploring, but I reckon this was my first and last time up there. :-)
Unfortunately, we didnāt go to the neighboring Fuchseck this time, only the Wasserberg with some extras.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org maybe 3D printed toys are the solution, to the dust collecting problem. My collection of 3D printed canines, just expanded today, with this new keychain:
Buying a TV these days, means trying to avoid endless enshitification:
-Spyware and adware
-Shitty AI upscaling/ frame interpolation
-HW that breaks after 2 - 3 years
-One off OS, dead on arrival
-Android OS, that starts lagging after the third update
-8 buttons worth of ads, on your remote
You probably have to make some kind of a compromise. I thought that was buying from some other brand like Hyundai, but that one also felt into some of those categories and just broke, after less than 3 years of use. At this point Iāll probably go back to LG and hope their HW is still reliable and the rest manageable⦠It has AI bullshit and knowing LG, probably some spyware you have to try your best to get rid of, can buy a remote with āonlyā 2 ads on it, some web-based OS shared between all their TVs, that usually gets 4 - 5 years worth of updates and works decently enough afterwards.
At this point, Iāll probably settle for anything that doesnāt literally fall apart, not even 3 years in, like the Hyundai did.

@bender@twtxt.net basically because we donāt readily use or support range hunters when requesting feeds itās ideal to keep feed small for the time being at least until we think about writing up a formal specification for this, but itās also only for Http hosted feeds
