Imagine other industries would be like the programing world (in regards to LLMs):

*Business guy walks into kitchen of a chef* "what's that"

Chef: "it's a pan, you can use it for cooking"

"coo... can you use more simple terms nerd?"

"you put food in, make it hot, food tasty"

"hmm ho... I can melt iron with this"

"no, you ruin the pan and it actually doesn't get ho..."

"it's also heavy, I could sell it as self defence"

"what? No, there are a million things better suited.."

"hmm yea I take this now home, bye"

"wait come back! I need that! You can't just..."

*business guy leaves the scene*

*next day the chef reads a lot of news articles about the incredible new "pan" and it's million usecases, as it will replace humans, and the dangers it poses to humanity*

@kaia that's fine, I can address people without pronouns, it's just a lil green flag bc it shows you they are not a transphobe most likely

Btw since I'm checking follower requests again, I actually had an idea to collect some of the tings I consider green flags on accounts:

• lists Age / Year of Birth
• Has posts with proper CWs (especially: Selfie, EC)
• Pronouns (especially stuff like pronouns.page)
• Personal, verified website (but I'm a nerd)
• Not too many Hashtags in Bio/Posts
• Mentioning they are Ace (Less danger of ppl being unsolicited explicit at me)

And maybe some more, those are the ones of the top of my head, feel free to add more/yours

"hey do you know how to fix this tech issue?"

"I don't but I know where I can get some ppl that can"

*opens the window to fedi*

"meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwww"

*a hundred catgirls approach*

Maybe everyone should have programed a 20yo microcontroller at some point to actually grasp what insane computational power 100mhz is and how much you can fit into a fricking GB of ram

If a piece of software (like windows) needs 2gb of ram just to start, it's developers are incompetent or malicious (telemetry and tracking) or both

@root @Jain @mia before being on here, I never met a Mia in my entire life, suddenly boom, like 4 of them

@lunareclipse sounds like bloat tbh

why are the docs included in the instance ?

@puniko @natty mood

@adora @cleo @puniko no, they actively block non-mastodon, that's not a "we didn't get to it issue" it's really a "we don't want you to use this with anything else than Mastodon

@puniko @cleo @yassie_j part of activity pub i think is identifying what you are, like my pixelfed shows all the federated instances what type they are, down to the specific misskey fork. I guess they just query that and refuse if it isn't "Mastodon"

@cleo @puniko fediverse: we have a couple of standards so everyone can federate!

Ivory: yea, no, fuck you

Binary trans ppl go to baby naming sites, non binary ppl go to the Wikipedia article with a list about all programming languages
