sleeping dogs. They sure did curse a lot.

I have a couple of thoughts.

1. I dont need or want Lemmy to appeal to the mainstream. Frankly, I already get all the mainstream ‘culture’ I can stand, and frequntly more.

2. I think it’s a mistake to consider Lemmy a one-to-one repacement for Reddit. I hope the fediverse can leverage the whole, y’know, federation thing. I think topic-driven instances that function similarly to the old phpBB boards is a good paradigm. It’s not about a monster site that has a board for everything. It’s more answering the question, ‘What if I could post on gamefaqs from my metal archives account?’

I guess I just think we could do better than trying to out-reddit reddit, when it comes to having a vision for the platform.

Will it still be possible to purchase a VPS in another country and pay with Monero or something? This seems like insane over reach, are theu going to make it illegal for americans to do business with international IAAS providers?

But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?

I try to keep an eye out for repetitive tasks that might make good projects. I just started a python script that’s going to download all my google photos so i can free up my cloud storage.

I think communities run by people who wish to mod them arbitrarily should be allowed to exist.

researchers and philosophers (not sure why we should care about the latter’s opinions on LLMs).

Philosophers may not be represent an authory on the mechanics of LLMs, but in a discussion of the nature consciousness (which is really what the stochastic parrot stuff is about), their opinion is as valid as anyone elses, and they have one of the richer histories of conceptualizing it, long before more rigorous empirical disciplines could dream of doing so.

Along a similar vein, you can catch some cool live performances of lesser known acts on the KEXP youtube channel. They interview the artists too, which is cool. They often come up in search results for artists I look up on Youtube, and my music taste tends toward the indie (as in independent, not the sound genre).

That his initial view of his powers implications was flawed is central to his character. His entire moral philosophy is predicated on his feelings of guilt and regret for his selfish actions resulting in Uncle Bens death.

They had Taylor swift play in 2019

What do you use for hosting? I’m looking for a good host and highly budget conscious.

What makes hosting with PHP cheaper than with python?

Lately ive been getting a lot of new music from rateyourmusic.com . I look up an album i like, find some themed lists featuring it that aound interesting (a lot of the lists are like “things i listened to this year”, i ignore those), and will hop from list to list as i see interesting looking albums.

I like everything ive heard of hers, and some of the songs on the next album are absolutely incredible (Time the Revelator, and the other long, slow songs), but i really dig the old timey stripped down vibe on Hell Among the Yearlings.

Really underrated album

Same, i thought it was about having a manic episode or something

I’m glad I didn’t pay for this. It looks fun but the performance is terrible it’s literally freezing right now as I’m trying to quit. It eats up almost all of my CPU. I don’t have a high-end gaming rig (any more), but i was able to get better performance out of the outer worlds.

I wonder if it would work if you spoofed your user agent.

I wouldnt be surprised if this was suicide by cop. But its still indicative of a structural problem that such a thing is possible.
