I never said it was AI slop but that’s an etymologically interesting thing you’ve got going on there, if I was a scientist I’d look into it

This is fucking slop lmao

That’s fair, I just like posting in a wide variety of communities. I have enough to post in it never would have recurred. Maybe I could come back later with a review of promising collaborative developments over the past few years.

I saw a good response to the XMPP thing he wrote about I’ll get back to you Rizzler. The “encryption isn’t enabled by default” thing just isn’t true for the clients people actually use, for one.

IDK maybe I misunderstood you & took it for saying Bookwyrm can replace Goodreads, which is more like online BarneSS and Noble. We probably have similar ideas about how to use it.

Well maybe once there is a truly giant instance set up, but I think it would be better to curate considering the state of publishing lmao? 95% of new books = slop

Sure but think of those as subsections within a small bookstore. You could make them curated lists of fiction subgenres, or explorations of specific historical periods or authors. I think the detail & specificity gives it an edge over just browsing Goodreads with https://libredirect.io/ or Internet Archive or Anna’s etcetera

With you or in general?

Use the same logic we do for the rest of the fediverse. You’re not making “the world’s bookstore” you’re making a collection of books that can’t be found elsewhere. I think it can be useful for people with particular literary or historical tastes

Men when you don’t watch their youtube video:

Yeah have fun in Techlore’s Youtube comments. You should have more luck finding people who will sit through your heckin drama Youtube videos in their comments. You are a Keemstar iPad baby to me.

I don’t really get the “community toxicity” thing when ppl are talking about stuff that can land you in jail. If you think online arguments are stressful, imagine prison! Can’t log off from prison. Besides, arguments online are fun if you change your perspective on them.

1. I don’t need to listen to someone talking about why it’s bad to respond to critics because of the optics. Framing is dumb. Tech youtubers are awful and the good ones get banned. 2. I said I could not give a fuck about what you just said. Having fun and playing online is a priority. Not doing what random people say like WATCH MY YOUTUBES.

Well if that is the case it would be worthwhile to document it here tbqh, it may be easy for people in the forums to keep track but ppl do have jobs

I mean you could just go take a look at their other posts? It’s one statement about it. Maybe I could add hyperlinks to everything if I suddenly care more about that than making people mad in a kinda interesting way today. It’s unpredictable. Phone’s only fun at work. At home it becomes the bad screen.

LineageOS is chill IDK why you think having extreme device security doesn’t matter to people, in many corporate settings it’s worthwhile. Probably undermined by Google anyways, but that can never be admitted in COURT. I run LineageOS on a Pixel with a bunch of shit changed for privacy, used to have GOS, the Pixel was the best option on Swappa! I take a lotta pics 👀. I find the GOS forums a useful resource and I hate everyone they hate so it works out dawg. Yeah, structurally bound to Google and the US chip infrastructure is bad. Get Chinese shit. I just need my FDroid shit to live, that’s what really binds me to Google’s ecosystem.

Don’t forget to mention GrapheneOS gets to keep all their fingers and ears because the feds use their stuff. Think they can’t get into a Google device? I just don’t believe it. Peace indeed

It’s Gunther Fehlinger it has to be there, the lore will gobsmack you. Might kill you

You’re literally talking shit about them right now, and promoting a goddanged youtube channel like I’m going to actually switch my audio track away from music so that a guy can complain in my headphones, or something. I could not give a fuck about >86% of what you just typed if someone put a gun in my mouth. This is how people who wish they could be in court but would get smoked talk. Publishing information about people’s attacks on you is called a response, which is allowed IMO. I’ll permit it! People online aren’t your students hitting each other. Pretending it’s their problem because you made it your problem with them is mindboggling to me. Better listening material for you, while we’re posting You Tubes: Popol Vuh – In den Gärten Pharaos.

The optics of silence in the face of your critics is… what? In other words, I rebuke you demon

Peace and love among all progressives ❤️‍🩹

That is a much better point to make actually, imagine thinking they can just h4x0r2 their way into any phone
