…what is even the purpose of locking it down to a discord server?

I have a virtual machine with a mid-range GPU attached to it just to run Apple Music on Windows without lag.

Shadow the Hedgehog, definitely.

Guilt by association. Awoo gets that too sometimes, for forking Soapbox. Frendica was initially used by Awoo iirc but Mastodon gave it the kiss of death, so Soapbox was forked instead.

I hate this whole guilt by association for using software. I remember when Fedilab removed the blocks on Gab, some of the more sensitive Mastodon instances tried to devise a way on blocking specific apps because of Fedilab’s decision (which was only done to keep it on Google Play, but Google didn’t care). It’s so fucking stupid.

I have a gut feeling they make up some of their reasons tbh. They blocked you for loli but I have never seen you post any at all, and they blocked the9thcircle.club for spam but I never saw spam there in my entire time there.

did they try masto art because the latter would be true in that case with all the fediblocks they have

I read that emergency legislation and it doesn’t sound too unreasonable? It’s not straight-up outlawing them, it’s just holding up a higher standard. NHS England has done something similar, where the affirmative care has been stripped in favour of therapies that actually work, and so has Sweden and Finland iirc.

Every browser is just a frontend to Apple’s specific WebKit, though. That’s the catch.

ChatGPT will be like “Oh, my apologies” when you tell it that it got something wrong or fake, while Bing really likes to gaslight you, from what I’ve seen.

lol didn’t that run Pleroma, which was what pissed him off?

Any artists on fedi got some good drawing tips? I wanna draw my birdsona but I do not know where to start.

I have an iPad Air with the Apple Pencil, and I have Procreate. I think in terms of the tools, I’m sorted.

Are they trying to steal Roblox’s thunder with this?

I know some UK corps (e.g. ITV, The O2) have been using the creative mode for some stuff.

Hopefully the pay is good. Roblox has been criticised heavily for that. People Make Games has a great video on it (tl;dr: you needed something stupid like 100k Robux - $1k USD - to actually convert your Roblox money into real cash)

That’s good. Refreshing to hear some good about Epic given how much shit they get, lol.

They seem to have not touched Bandcamp post-acquisition, either. Wish they would make the cart system better there though. Even before the Epic buyout it was awful.

Honestly considering getting an iPhone after this and Acropalypse. Well, that and there’s hardly any innovation in the smartphone world nowadays and I’m kinda getting bored of Android.

Was it journa host? I sent someone there on my 9th account an AI generated pic of Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson kissing and I’m sure another instance blocked 9th for that reason for “anti-journalism” lmao

So THAT’S why someone I follow uses hashtags a lot in their posts.

why are there so many entries for Hogwarts Legacy? I get having one entry for the standard and deluxe editions, but there’s two of each…

Was talking with a friend about Ohio and apparently some religious nutjobs were heading to East Palestine.

My dumb ass thought they were heading to the country Palestine.

Basically whittles down the issue, too. To be expected from this idiot, though.

The reason NovelAI exists was because of the AI Dungeon filter controversy. I don’t think any sane person would be opposed to a filter against the illegal shit, but how they did it was so flawed and reaching that even off-handedly complaining about how the laptop you bought 5 years ago would result in your story getting moderated and checked. Not to mention that some published stories will also portray such events, not to promote them or arouse but as part of an overall story.

NovelAI instead puts all the responsibility of what their machine learning models have written on the user, rather than on them, and I think that’s what OpenAI should do as well.
