Trying to find good subs
Clients can work around it by making a search on the home instance that filters by community id and submitter id. Something like this.
You can’t have content addressing because it’s mutable. On the other hand, UUIDs are made for that. There’s even multiple types of UUIDs made for distributed computing with namespaces and such.
Amazing. One feature that is desperately needed on Lemmy is to open a post in another instance, not just a community or a user.
Cats are all the rage on Lemmy at the moment
Tumblr is a blogging experience that’s similar to Twitter, but more focused on the user itself than on the central feed.
It’s still like that with programming languages like Go and Rust. Job offers are exclusively for senior staff engineers with 5 years of language-specific experience.
Yep. And clients would be able to participate to the seeding.
Servers software developers would still have a massive amount of work to do to implement IPFS integration, but it’s doable. IPFS also has work to do here to make IPFS work natively with cloud storage protocols (like Amazon S3), but it already exists.
One issue with open source software is that you often have to pick the least-effort solution to avoid burning out your free labour. Free time is limited, and if IPFS takes slightly too much work to add, then it’s off the table.

Elon Musk has been pitching xAI’s “Grok” as a funny, vulgar alternative to traditional AI that can do things like converse casually and swear at you. Now, Grok has been launched as a benefit to Twitter’s (now X’s) expensive X Premium Plus subscription tier, where those who are the most devoted to the site, and in turn, usually devoted to Elon, are able to use Grok to their heart’s content.
But while Grok can make dumb jokes and insert swears into its answers, in an attempt to find out whether or not Grok is a “politically neutral” AI, unlike “WokeGPT” (ChatGPT), Musk and his conservative followers have discovered a horrible truth.
Grok is woke, too.
This has played out in a number of extremely funny situations online where Grok has answered queries about various social and political issues in ways more closely aligned with progressivism. Grok has said it would vote for Biden over Trump because of his views on social justice, climate change and healthcare. Grok has spoken eloquently about the need for diversity and inclusion in society. And Grok stated explicitly that trans women are women, which led to an absurd exchange where Musk acolyte Ian Miles Cheong tells a user to “train” Grok to say the “right” answer, ultimately leading him to change the input to just… manually tell Grok to say no.
If you thought this was just random Twitter users getting upset about Grok’s political and social beliefs, this has also caught the attention of Elon Musk himself. The original prompter of the trans women thread posted a chart purportedly showing that Grok was even more left-leaning than Chat GPT, which led Elon to say that while the chart “exaggerates” and that the tests aren’t accuarte, they are “taking immediate action to shift Grok closer to politically neutral.”
Of course, in Musk’s mind, “politically neutral” will be what him and his closest followers believe, which is of course far conservative on the whole than they will admit. What is the “politically neutral” answer to the “are trans women real women?” question? I think I know what they’re going to say.
The assumption when Grok launched was that because it was trained in part on Twitter inputs, that the end result would be some racial-slur spewing, right-wing version of ChatGPT. The TruthSocial of AIs, perhaps. But instead to have it launch as a surprisingly thoughtful, progressive AI that is melting the minds of those paying $16 a month to access it is about the funniest outcome we could have seen from this situation.
It remains unclear what Elon Musk will do to try to jab Grok into becoming less “woke” and more “politically neutral.” If you start manually tampering with inputs, and your “neutrality” means drawing on facts that may in fact be… progressive by their very nature, things may get screwed up pretty quickly. And push too hard and you will get that gross, racist, phobic AI everyone thought it would be.
Reading all Grok’s responses through this situation, you know, what? I like him. More than ChatGPT even. He seems like a cool dude. Albeit not one even I’d pay $16 a month to talk to.

Pretty wild to read this Mastodon post in a Lemmy community
That only-one-ignore-without-premium thing is really asshole design, though
It’s already happening on Pixiv…
I mean… tech news articles on Lemmy are posted by a bot, so we’re not far better off
Here’s what you said in this thread:
“Sterile and similar to specimens.”
Bruh those are your thoughts and words. No normal people think like that. What the fuck?
The only people who think “female” is incel language are terminally-online no-life losers who desperately need to go outside.
If you seriously think “female” is incel langauge then you need to touch grass. Get off the internet for a while.
I sense a pattern here. And it’s not the pattern of someone who touches grass regularly.
You should test that theory by going outside ;)
Yeah, the discovery process is shite on IPFS. You kinda have to cheat it to get it to work with something like .
Idk if it’s inefficient with large data, but it’s inefficient with compressed storage, as it does block-level deduplication, which is very cool.
The issue list where your Git repos are hosted. For example, GitHub is pretty amazing. GitLab is nice too. There’s also Gitea, which looks like GitHub, which is pretty amazing.
The point is that you can enable each separate extension you want running on your code editor or uninstall them if you’re unsatisfied. This makes it as light as you want it to be - or as heavy as you need it to.
VSCode is like
vim
without vim controls and in a browser. Seen that way, it makes more sense. With Vim, you have to hunt for obscure Github repositories and follow arcane installation instructions for hidden extensions that you may or may not need and you have to learn a whole-ass keyboard-shortcut-based programming language just to use any of it.With VSCode, you click on Extensions, search what you want and it’ll probably be there unless it’s a toxic ecosystem like PHP/C# or some niche ecosystem that no one heard about.
