  • Xbox as a platform is officially dead

  • this is the sort of tech that science fiction has been dreaming of for decades.

    No it isn't. LLM's are a fucking technological dead end and will never reach AGI's.

    Quit sucking off Sam Altman and go look into actual AI research, douchebag

  • LLMs can unmask anonymous internet users for $1–4 each, matching 67% of pseudonymous Hacker News accounts to real LinkedIn profiles at 90% precision

  • Good thing I've never made a post on LinkedIn. The only thing I've done is search for jobs on there

  • ProtonMail provides information used to identify email owner...

  • Is there a link you could share?

  • Should I buy a used Steam Deck for Forza Horizon 5 and potentially FH6?

    Jump

  • The Steam Deck (and by extension any handheld) isn't particularly great for 3D games due to the power limitations. Those games do generally run, but they either need lower resolution or lower framerates, and almost always drain the battery faster.

  • you can't review what's running on the actual server, what did your local admin add to it.

    You could level that accusation at any software running on a remote server, including the Fediverse

  • Introducing Habitat - A Social Platform for Local Communities

    Jump

  • Keep in mind that OP's project is already based on a different protocol than the Fediverse for their own reasons. Trying to create and maintain a bridge between different protocols might be more work than to just make modifications to posts in the current system.

    Other factors are end user experience and branding. Keep in mind that the average Facebook/NextDoor user isn't tech-savvy, and could also be put off by the weird software names commonly found in the Fediverse

    It's likely worthwhile for OP to look into flohmarkt, but integration might not be the optimal method

  • What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

    Jump

  • With Hexbear, it wasn't just traffic. It was straight up harassment. They were constantly calling our users Nazis, bigots, imperialists, etc. for no reason

  • Is GPS private?

    Jump

  • It’s lighthouses in low earth orbit.

    I definitely wouldn't call geostationary orbit "low"

  • Another idea you could potentially add down the line: what about functionality similar to Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace? Those tend to work by helping you focus on your local area as opposed to EBay.

    Granted, Craigslist is largely fine imo, I'm just proposing a way to help you kill off Facebook

  • Reading through your link, it seems like the main difference in your framework is that there's auto-propogation of federation built in. Please correct me if I missed anything

    Unrelated point: before you throw too much time and effort into building up federation, I want to bring something in the Matrix vs. XMPP debate: caching.

    Apparently in Matrix, if a user on server A joins a chatroom on server B, then all of the content on the chatroom need to then be copied and synced to server A. There's 2 primary problems with this: it's a lot of duplication overhead that can limit scaling of the network and there's legal consequences for server A caching potentially illegal content. There's also a privacy concern as this means more parties that can see various interactions.

    XMPP gets around these problems by having the user on server A just directly connect with server B, without server A caching anything.

    I haven't dug into too many of the differences myself, but wanted to bring it up in case it helped

  • Though I will not be using ActivityPub

    If you don't mind my asking, what drove the decision to not base it on ActivityPub? On the surface that seems to be an easier starting point that building evetything out from scratch

  • I predict that being a hard sell for lemmings.

    Eh, if it's an open-source application where you can review the code to confirm that the software isn't tracking you, then it's not an issue. Especially if you're running Graphene OS, Rethink DNS, or Exodus to either sandbox or monitor your traffic

  • Introducing Habitat - A Social Platform for Local Communities

    Jump

  • I thought that was the only protocol that currently allows for federation. Are there others? Or other ways?

    The Matrix and XMPP protocols both support federation, though those are mainly for chat platforms

  • It's open-source and self-hostable, so it's for any group

  • Leak confirms GrapheneOS & Motorola partnership for non-Pixel hardware - PiunikaWeb

    Jump

  • Tbh, not a huge fan of the pick. I had various Motorola Droid phones for years before switching to Samsung. All of the Droids were horribly underpowered after 2 years and the batteries only had 1/2 of their original capacity by that point. Then I got a Samsung S10e and it lasted 5+ years.

    I seriously hope Motorola has gotten rid of their planned obsolescence policy in the past few years. It's nice that there's going to be a second vendor option for GrapheneOS soon, but I wish it was a better vendor

  • or at least add icons like ↑ and ↓ next to it.

    C# in Excel can't even properly pull values from a table correctly. No way I'm going to waste 2-3 trying to make it concatenate non-alphanumeric characters into cells.

    At work, there isn't anyone I have to send tables to that is colorblind. And if that changes, they can make a request. Until then, I'm sticking with red/green
