A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.

I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things as well.

  • Ahem, what next-generation LLMs? The ones they keep promising and fail to deliver? Seems we’re at gradual improvement these days. ChatGPT 5 isn’t sentient or AGI like they claimed it would be but merely marginally better than version 4. I have no doubt it’s gonna be the same with version 6 and 7 in the next years. And it’s far from being able to program computer code at the level I do?! We’d need some insane scientific breakthrough. Other than that I think it’s going to replace callcenter workers, designers and artists, cashiers… And I suppose robotics is looking promising. Maybe restocking the shelves can be done by robots in the future. We already have a lot of automation in logistics.

    Well, diversity is the central idea behind the entire Fediverse… We get many different perspectives on the same content. That includes many individual instances and individual software. The opposite of that would be no diversity. One platform and one software, like Reddit or Facebook or most big commercial services. And we have projects in between, both federated and non-federated, even crypto-based, which combine many aspects into one platform.






  • I think you can follow Peertube channels and write comments but not post videos. And you can’t access Mastodon nor Pixelfed.

    Lemmy is centered on the concept of ActivityPub groups. While Mastodon etc are about individuals, they don’t use that concept (with their toots) and since following accounts isn’t implemented in Lemmy, there is no way to properly interact.

    Though there are other software projects. MBin combines both. And Piefed wants to get there, eventually. They already hook into a few more things, but Mastodon or Pixelfed accounts currently aren’t properly supported either. But Mastodon people can write replies to our posts.

    It’s a bit complicated. And I think ActivityPub is fairly low level and broad (I think). So it’s really down to the individual implementation and whether two projects agree to do something in a compatible way. And write code for the specifics of some content types.

    Ahem, no. This isn’t about cancelling or silencing people. The real issue is a full-blown humanitarian crisis and a war. Muting random regular people might seem like an idea, but it’s going to do nothing for those people and the issue at hand. It’s not great that we have all opinions, but you got to deal with it. Block them, that’s why the programmers gave you that tool. And/or switch instances. And report content you deem inappropriate. And be vocal about doing the right thing.

    That is for regular users. I think mods should be held to higher standards. I think we shoud discuss whether we want to keep those. Unfortunately there isn’t a good way to deal with this. There are no elections or something… That’s not how the Fediverse works. Maybe it should… Bit until then, you yourself vote by leaving those specific communities and instances. And we all do that.
