@BrodieOnLinux corporations are so desperate to prove that it was definitely wise and correct to forget their eco-sustainability targets and light money on fire to train and host these models

I'm not saying these have no purpose or utility, but I doubt any of what we've "gained" so far was worth the billions of dollars and climate harms

Imagine being a billionaire and deciding that burning money like this was preferable to feeding the poor or curing the sick

@evan @J12t thanks, most comprehensive :)

@evan @J12t ah, okay

1-1 private messages (with end-to-end encryption) seems like it would be good for folks expecting a Twitter experience

I can see this being a valuable feature in a social media app, but I'm a little ambivalent about 1-1 features fitting/belonging in the Activity Pub specification

Could social media apps not cohesively implement both Activity Pub for the 1:n features and some other protocol (Signal, Whisper, etc) for the 1:1 features?

@J12t @evan

locked/non-public posts are only viewable by people who are following me, and I can set my account so that new followers have to be approved by me first, right?

end-to-end encryption for this use case (1-to-n-approved-followers) does close an important gap where users currently have to trust server operators

or is this discussion about 1-1 private messages?

@evan you missed the opportunity to present this research as a poll :P

@aral @Codeberg @forgejo it's possible this is related to CVEs like this one: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/11/01/cve-2021-42574.html

But, it's certainly annoying to see warnings that a compiler/interpreter will trip over anyway (e.g. quote symbols), because that's what CI is for

Really should only see warnings/errors for text that is both valid to the compiler, and also conceals code from human review (per the CVE)

@lanodan @BrodieOnLinux woah, not sure I deserve that language

Thanks for correcting me, good to know

@lanodan @BrodieOnLinux I believe VSync is mandatory by default in Wayland, and there's a recent protocol for an app to explicitly opt out of VSync in favour of tearing https://wayland.app/protocols/tearing-control-v1
