If #DNS is so great, why is there a .int, but not a .float, .char, or .double? 🤔

👉 HTTP site on a .int domain is an "unsigned int".
👉 HTTPS site on a .int domain is a "signed int".

https://kolektiva.social/@MF_Dume/112344050972663493Seriously, go read that thread.
I want to make it clear though: yes, I am disappointed by this, but I do not believe it's helpful to panic, start flamewars, get into spats, or call people names.
Instead, it's better to put that energy and time into building alternatives. The more feature-complete fedi instance software is out there, the healthier the whole network is.

Perhaps starting with an in-depth review of existing options, to not reimplement the wheel from scratch.
I'd gladly chip in on a monthly basis for that kind of an effort.
Also, I am half-hoping, half-expecting that somebody will point to exactly this kind of effort in the replies. :blobcateyes:

Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦 (rysiek@mstdn.social)'s status on Sunday, 28-Apr-2024 01:59:57 JST Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦 A friend mentioned to me that he was always bothered by this line in The Matrix:
> The human body generates more bioelectricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTUs of body heat. Combined with a form of fusion…
If Machines have fusion, why do they need humans?
Well, I figured it out. Humans are not there for energy.
"AI" is just as much of an exploitative sham in The Matrix as it now. It's all an elaborate Mechanical Turk.

https://easymode.im/notes/9s9fhdg8jh3gi3h7His toot has been living rent-free in my head ever since.
I had ranted a few times before how "content" is a corporate-y way to devalue art. How "user-generated content" is a term designed to make it easier to deny the significance (not just monetary) of the amazing stuff people create online.
Contrasting this with "AI art" is jarring, and spot-on. 👀

I appreciate that you embarked on this project. Thank you for taking that risk!
The fact that all of the European Commission cannot find an agency to own it and continue maintaining it is unfathomable.
Especially in the context of how digital sovereignty gets so much lip-service from the Commission.
EC's priorities seem upside-down.

Plus, the Threads-promoted logo looks like a goatse. There, I said it.

So I guess "telling if something is a photograph" is also the same as "criticizing people who can't paint"? :blobcatcoffee:

Instead of to figure out if an image was "AI"-generated?
