It's a hugely disruptive technology, that is harmful to the environment, being taken up and given center stage by a host of folk who don't understand it.

Like the industrial revolution, it has the chance to change the world in a massive way, but in doing so, it's going to fuck over a lot of people, and notch up greenhouse gas output. In a decade or two, we probably won't remember what life was like without them, but lots of people are going to be out of jobs, have their income streams cut off and have no alternatives available to them whilst that happens.

And whilst all of that is going on, we're getting told that it's the best most amazing thing that we all need, and it's being stuck in to everything, including things that don't benefit from the presence of an LLM, and sometimes, where the presence of an LLM can be actively harmful

I'm one episode in and I was already wondering whether I'd bother to watch any more. Guess I won't be

5 years ago, you contacted someone you met when you were both adults, which was presumably years before that? And her parents were mad at you? I'm not sure how her parents opinion on this matters to anyone but her parents?

Our lemmy instance is up to date. It's our sharkey instance that needs work done that we haven't got around to yet.

As for Piefed, we spun it up mostly because it's feature rich and many folk are uncomfortable with the politics of the lemmy devs. Migration wasn't an option, because there is no database migration pathway, so we just spun up a dedicated instance.

"trans identified individuals", with an hour old account...

Sure, you're "just asking questions"

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

Well, I'm a little bit excited

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Oops! We'll get that fixed as soon as we can!

I tried to love that trans pride theme, but the nicest thing I can say about it is that I'm happy there is explicitly a trans pride theme :P

That looks to be a bug or something, because the formatting options are there when you edit your comment. I'll raise that with the dev.
