You can block the instance in your account settings, and you can also block individual communities. Finally you can block specific users as well. Any more control and you need to find a frontend that might handle that.
You have to remove the ableist slurs
“works” is doing some heavy lifting here. ND people having to mask is stressful. It’s not for our primary benefit, it’s for others. It’ “works” the same way that beatings “work” to prevent left-handedness.
You give money to centralized monopolistic capitalists regardless what you do
People buy GPUs already for video games and other purposes. We’re using the same consumer cards, not enterprise ones.
Me: “The system works exactly as advertised for thousands of people”
You, a wise person: “The system doesn’t work as advertised because not everyone in the world is using it.”
You’re a very unserious person, so I won’t engage further with this nonsense.
But I see the same problems as with email, chat etc. You can selfhost almost everything. But too few people are doing it. You can use Linux as your Desktop and at least 4% are doing it. Still too few if you ask me.
The system is explicitly setup so that normal people don’t need to set up anything. Experts and enthusiasts are the one doing the complex work, while normies just use a simply client like this and power users can also use more advanced clients.
And if most of the people keep using the commercial and closed source options over the self hosted one, then I see this concentration of power.
That’s up to all of us to counter by promoting the good solutions instead, not of just despairing and begging politicians to fix this (they won’t, they’ll promote monopolies instead)
This is not theoretical. It already is in place and is already serving people. The only reason it’s not growing more is because we don’t have any marketing and we don’t participate in the capitalist rot economy.
And self hosting requires money and skill. This means there is a lot of people who lack both and may then use closed source models.
This is what we’ve mostly to solved with the AI Horde, where we allow people to rely on self-hosted open models.
The concentration of power part is not true unless people keep trying to use copyrights and the legal system to protect themselves from genai, at which point it will be true. Currently there’s plenty of self hosted solutions like stable diffusion and services like the ai horde to help even people without gpu for free
I’m going to do a charitable interpretation and assume you’re going for the “you’re technically correct” joke
Grandma gets a lot of leeway from me, as she grew in WW1, lived through WW2 and was tortured during the civil war. She has hard as steel. For me it’s still a funny story, especially since at the time I was hiding under a desk scream-crying “iiiiiiiiii” like a goddamn bombing alarm and she just wanted me to shut up :D
Your comment has been reported and I admit, I am trying to understand what joke you’re trying to make here. Can you clarify for me?
Lemmy is adding the tags in the activitypub metadata which mastodon then correctly reads. The tags don’t need to be in the text of the post for mastodon to parse them (neither do the reply usernames for that purpose). It’s just that in your normal mastodon interface, it only parses things from your text, so you’re used to seeing it there.
EDIT: In this specific case, you’re seeing it in the #adhd tag, because it’s tagged like this for being posted in the !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com comm.
Yep, I just didn’t know how to add that succinctly to the title 😁
Any time I see a grognard seriously suggest going back to bash for anything exceeding 10 lines of code it makes me very happy none of them are in control.
Of course! In Greek we say ΓΤΠ and sometimes anglicise it a gtp. It directly translates “for the dick” which means something is rubbish.
We sometimes shorten γαμώτο (fuck) το ‘γμτ’

Well, not a fault per Se, but it should be expected that you’d see stuff outside your normal interests in the torrent of posts.
