  • midnight.pub - Chill place for people to write extremely niche and detailed blog posts.

    IRC - Lots of technically competent people who are fun to talk to.

    rawtext.club - I haven't joined this because I don't think I would really contribute much but it is a good idea.

    Or just Gemini/gopher in general are cool places to be.

  • Well by definition most of us aren't artists. Artists are a small minority. It would be pretty easy to guess who isn't an artist by just claiming everyone isn't except for the people explicitly say they are and it would be like 98 percent true.

  • Well I want to be part of the decentralized web. I think it is very cool to be free of corporations. Just was wondering if there was a point in all of this. Of course the fediverse is better than centralized solutions but I don't know if there is even a point in trying to build these platforms as they are just a way to waste time. Although it might be a good idea to keep but just never scroll and only use to ask for help, opinions or just to share what is on your mind. It is a useful tool just not what it is mainly used for.

  • I don't spend very much time on here I average 5 hours a week but it is still bad for me. I never feel satisfied afterwards and for some reason still come back. I was thinking it would be better to cut it off entirely as it is a bad influence and just have IRC as my main way of chatting with other humans. I think IRC is a bit healthier because it is a direct interaction and there is no upvotes or any fake internet points involved.

  • Well its a good thing AI works can't be copyrighted then. I don't see how this is a a huge problem. Yes its bad to steal but its only stealing when you are making profit off of someone else's labour. Having these companies have the datasets is the problem not AI but it is not possible to convince them to give it up. You can ban and try to prevent scraping all you want but it won't stop the companies from using the datasets they already have. Regulation banning profiteering off AI work from datasets gathered without artist consent would be a start but it is hard to enforce. I think we are on the same side here so we don't really need continue. Have a great day.

  • Good luck telling multi billion dollar companies to give up their datasets. All you can manage to accomplish is pull up the ladder on newer startups and secure their monopoly. A better solution might be to make AI accessible and free (like llama) so that small artists can take advantage of it and not all the big wigs make all the money. AI is perfectly good tool to speed up artist efficiency.

  • Spotiflyer <- Give a link to a song/playlist from various platforms and it will download it for you.

    Feeder <- Great all around RSS feeder that can help you read your feeds on the go.

    Metro player <- FOSS music player with great customizable UI. Has tons of features.

    Probably more that I can't think of at the moment.
