It's different because feature-wise all Mastodon instances are quite similar (some might have bigger character limit etc.) Generally it's best to choose a niche instance so you inherit a community of people with common interests i

I think "More open Twitter" is a red herring. The bigger issue seems to be that people simply dislike and distrust Musk.

I wouldn't bother me at all if they didn't neglect the existing features. It used to be the most responsive music app to the point where they made a documentary about themselves now it it's everything but that - crashes, buff

In other words: "you can write this down by hand, copy paste or browser plugins but you cannot automate this". I wonder if this stood up in any other context and I can't imagine of a similar scenario from the top of my head w

I think main argument that it's a proprietary piece of software that piggy backs on hacker (GPL) culture for profit. If they released open source copilot it would be less of an issue and theft of GPL code would be less painful. Some pe

I moved from Obsidian (big fan) to Foam because I already do most of my writing and coding in vscode might as well keep my notes there as well. Loads of vscode functions and plugins (like asciidoc) carry over to note taking world perfectly!

You don't even need TOR. Try a public wifi that is not in the "preferred geographical location" (i.e. US or Europe). The gaming cafes in SEA are probably responsible for 90% of all AI training datasets lol

I think the keyword here is _stake_. As in with PoW I can migrate once the ecosystem is damaged (i.e. just mine something else, sell the hardware, w/e) with PoS I need that ecosystem to thrive to profit or to even exit it.

I'm afraid the web is too far gone for new browsers. I'm already struggling to get through captchas on a Linux machine and if I roll a non-chrome based browser then I essentially end up solving 2-3 captchas every few pages. TLS

This is actually an interesting illustration of how infectious a name can be. If they hadn't called it OpenAI, the conversion from open to corporate would be much easier, where's now it's a significant pain point in OpenAI&#x

It's perfectly legal! That being said, you still need to be resource-polite. A lot of people scrape Zillow through browser automation toolkits like Selenium, Puppeteer etc. because it's a JS heavy website and these tools are reall

That's the only real reason threads are so successful imo. APP lock-in is an extremely toxic dark pattern and Twitter knows it.
