Tom Scott’s very comprehensive video on the subject

Wikipedia entry, it has links to it on the bottom

The smart thing to do following this announcement would be to replicate it locally and use that from then on, they gave all the info on how to do it after all

On Android i use Perfect Viewer, and on Linux i use Mcomix straight off the APT repositories. Quite willing to switch if better alternatives appear though.

Ah fuck, i was thinking of buying one of those at some point in the near future since those seem to be the first FDM ones that can print tabletop miniatures in decent quality…

I think many of them already do, i know Iocaine uses Markov chain text generation to spit out nonsense to poison the LLMs, do check it, at the bottom of the project page it links to others

By now i’ve seen like 6 or 7 projects on either trapping or outright poison content for LLM bots, and yesterday i saw this one which outright modifies the HTML of your page making it harder to steal and instead replaces it with a random prompt, someone asks it to summarize a blogpost and instead the thing starts talking about poodles or something, while normal browser users notice nothing

Invite-only and no clear way to get said invites

Thanks! Need to see if they have documented their datasets AND are actually public

First i hear about it, any links?

Where can i order a few bottles of this one?

No, no, it does work, but it depends on the size of your library

Thanks!

Revolt, can be self-hosted and all, not federated

The “distro” I’ve been eyeing is Snikket since it’s all in one with batteries included, it’s only notorious lack is bridges which is the reason i didn’t jump into it right away when i saw it (LOTS of contacts on WhatsApp, some on other Zuckerberg properties, so will likely need to do it, let’s see if the recent EU legislation leads to force them into interoperativity)

I think my doubt was less “Can they do it?” (as i believe they can, should have in mind the transcoding limitation as i didn’t knew) and more “SHOULD you do it?” given that it’s gonna be filled with movies/series/whatever, and it’s still a megacorp product

And yet again i feel like XMPP is the way to go, but depends on setting up a server and managing it, i for one don’t feel like managing servers in my free time, i do that at work all day 😅

What of the alternatives like Matrix or XMPP? I haven’t explored these well yet, is it easy to have multiple profiles with those?

I’ve used one of those Synology devices for something at work and really liked the interface and all that, everything worked well and without issues and with minimal admin required (which is my main issue, i don’t really wanna admin stuff in my free time), but will that work when what you want is to set up a NAS media server thing full of downloaded stuff despite being a commercial thing that may or may not phone home at some point in our sad enshittocene? I do believe it works for this but haven’t heard much in this community related to this, it’s usually people advocating to set up a normal machine as a NAS
