ahah, that explains everything. For some reason, blue doesn't let me attach stuff. Maybe I need to update, but a while back I tried, and oh boy did it fail.
might I suggest lyrical gang bang, or hmm, a good song from doggystyle, oh, gin and juice or what's my name, for classic, gz and hustlas for an album track
OpenAI no longer uses data from API customers to train its large language models, according to CEO Sam Altman. If you use ChatGPT directly, though, your information will be used to train the LLMs.
Please make sure you absolutely read the letter that Julian #Assange just wrote to #KingCharles in the occasion of #CoronationDay. It should be on ALL UK media, had it been written by #Navalny, you would read 3,000 of articles by UK and US press:
But it's also not entirely @gruber's fault because the media doesn't really talk about the Fediverse, and when they do, it's as a synonym for "Mastodon".
How would @gruber know about the massive development efforts to build more user-friendly alternatives to Mastodon?
No one in the media talks about the growth of *key apps, and how they're now the #2 most used Fediverse platform.
There's definitely something to what @gruber is saying. With manual account approval on mastodon.social and it being pushed as the default, I'd love to see the abandonment rate... Perhaps it's different when signing up through a phone? But getting someone all excited about trying a new social network is hard enough. Now they have to retain that excitement for an unknown amount of time, and then care enough to engage at some later date... Not much fun...
But this is what I'm saying. Perhaps it's wrong to call Mastodon *the* social network. It is server software for the social network, which is the Fediverse.
It's only a social network in the same sense that nginx is the Internet.
totally agree, tho that is also where I can see where @gruber is coming from - the "simple" thing. Even some of my more technical friends struggled to understand how to get started with the Fediverse, but they could figure out how sign up to Mastodon. Hopefully collectively we can come up with some appropriate verbiage - or perhaps it's just a matter of time. If you dropped the word 'tweet' into a casual conversation even 10 years ago people would look at you funny.
Bluesky only seems simpler just now as there’s only one app and one server. The whole reason for developing AT was it would be federated, but “better” than ActivityPub by allowing truly nomadic user accounts. Of course the nomadic accounts don’t exist, so maybe they’ll never enable federation and just be a centralised Twitter replacement. Then their absence of actual moderation will come to bite them.
that's why we're here, and others are elsewhere. I'd like to say it's just 'cause we've been 'round the block, but many others have by now. Who was it who said give me convenience or give me death? We've taken a different approach. But people will be people.
I hope eventually knowledge about the Fediverse will spread, so there will be more general awareness that it’s one big social network, but you can choose your preferred on ramp. Like picking a set top box that supports your preferred streaming services, or having a favourite coffee shop (they all sell coffee, but the presentation and vibe is different).

Microsoft's AI is boosting fake stories about sex changes for toddlers on the MSN service, blindly furthering the extreme right's project to eliminate trans people.
The issue with MSN's algorithmic aggregation after they fired their human team was first brought to their attention last December, when the service boosted fake stories about Bigfoot and Mermaids. #trans #journalism #AI
There are no medical interventions for transgender young before puberty. A false Daily Caller story claiming otherwise was disseminated by Microsoft’s AI-powered MSN service.

Well since I've not uploaded any #ElevenLabs content in a while, here's the stock Adam voice giving a speech, even though he's crap at writing them. but apparently the reason why people still hire him is because of the demonic noises he finishes with. Seriously where the hell it's getting those noises from I have no idea. And he doesn't seem to know what his accent is supposed to be. Transcript is in the alt text thing.
@sukiletxe I tend to use 0.2 and 1.0 for the sliders, as I feel that gives the best interpretation of me, or anything I've put into it, without losing it's mind completely.

Распахал огород к своей радости не встретил ни одной медведки. Фотка с позапрошлого года. Это беспозвоночное МФУ практически неуязвимо: роет, бегает, летает, плавает, поёт, точнее стрекочет. Медведка родственник сверчка. Насчёт кусаться не знаю, возможно может слегка. Брал её за спину, извивается, но не укусила.
Вредит тем, что повреждает корни растений когда роет свои хитрожопые тоннели. Иногда думаю, а что было если размер этих существ достигал метров трёх в длину? Думаю , что люди бы их истребили, либо вытеснили, а может наоборот. #медведка #насекомое #огород
Есть предельный размер насекомых в граничных условиях этой планеты. И он связан в основном с неэффективностью их дыхательной системы (трахейный тип дыхания)
@menelion Доставка кислорода к органам и тканям насекомого осуществляется благодаря системе ветвящихся трубочек – трахей, соединенных с отверстиями (дыхальцами) на поверхности тела.
По мере роста насекомого объем его трахей увеличивается на 20% быстрее, чем масса тела.
Эта особенность дыхательной системы делает невозможным увеличение размеров тела выше определенного предела. Предельно возможный размер для жуков оказался равным 15 сантиметрам. Эта теоретически вычисленная величина совпадает с фактическими данными: самые крупные современные жуки имеют около 15 сантиметров в длину.
В конце палеозойской эры (250 – 350 миллионов лет назад) насекомые были намного крупнее, чем сейчас, что объясняется повышенной концентрацией кислорода в атмосфере.
Американские энтомологи показали, что мелкие размеры насекомых обусловлены строением их дыхательной системы. 300 миллионов лет назад, когда воздух на Земле был богаче кислородом, насекомые были намного крупнее.

@xurizaemon several years ago already, the top users I know of did one million requests/second on average. That's *one site* doing 86 billion requests per day. Times many users. Times a gradual growth over 25 years.

My twitter's like a graveyard these days. All I see posting are companies, news things, that's it. I thought I'd miss it but 90% of the people I care about have moved here anyway. Feels like we all just up and moved house to a cleaner, less damp, less moldy environment. Nice.
@FreakyFwoof Hiya folks, good news - we've managed to unlock our account. We had some access issues for a while, which our Head of Social mentioned to Sarah when she asked last month. We're really looking forward to getting stuck in now.
This is a brilliant release from the National Federation of the Blind about why they are scaling back #Twitter and how they have embraced the #Fediverse by coming to #Mastodon.

New to Mastodon. Thought id give an #introduction!
My name is Dillon. I am a biologist and Science communicator mainly active on the instagram. If im not hyperfixating on my R code, I am creating online courses and educational material, being opinionated about conservation, or out looking for frogs!
Anyone mind giving me a primer for how Mastodon works? Im still very new to it all
