YSK: Cats don't like their whiskers touching their food bowl. This is why they beg even if food is still left at the bottom.

  • Huh. That explains some things. I thought my cat was just picky.

    • A lawsuit claims Google has been 'secretly stealing everything ever created and shared on the internet by hundreds of millions of Americans' to train its AI

    Jump

  • It’s not too much of a surprise. Take a look at Google’s TOS. Anything you upload to their platform they can do as they please with it. There is not even an exception made for email.

    • [X-post] /kbin project management costs, financing, future plans

    Jump

  • The "pay what you can" model from Piotr is pretty stunning. I'm glad the project qualifies for that.

    The highest costs are servers. No surprise there.

    Glad he has allocated money for legal and accounting advice.

    I hope he can eventually raise enough money to pay himself.

    • learned more in few weeks than in few years in other social media

    Jump

  • Yeah it's been fun! I've set up self-hosting of several fediverse projects and have learned a lot.

    • Elon Musk announces a new AI company

    Jump

  • In an interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson in April, Musk said teased plans for his new AI venture. “We’re going to start something which I call TruthGPT,” he said, describing it as a “maximum truth-seeking AI” that “cares about understanding the universe.”

    Sigh. When did this guy turn into a clown?

    • Does anyone use Bing for their search engine?

    Jump

  • Duckduckgo actually uses Bing for search results. Unless something changed.

    • Letter of Appreciation to Lemmy Moderators [META]

    Jump

  • Agreed. I know that many moderators around here have never modded before, and no doubt some admins have not dealt with growth on this scale. Good job y'all!

    • plex or Jellyfin?

    Jump

  • I have run both Plex and Jellyfin and I much prefer Jellyfin. I got sick of Plex content being interjected into my menus and feed. Plex also had issues seeing my server which was inconvenient. I now run Jellyfin with Infuse as my client. Love it so far.

    • What is your offsite backup solution?

    Jump
    • Backblaze B2 for my most important stuff. Encrypted of course
    • Backup HDDs and M-Discs stored at friend’s house

    • Lemmy's active users (content creators) see impressive 35% growth so far in July

    Jump

  • Holy smokes! Honestly I don’t know if we have or will make much of a dent in r*ddit, but at this point I don’t care. We’re building a new enthusiastic community and doing it fast. It’s a lot of fun.

    • ChatGPT thinks that the big corporations are coming for the Fediverse, it also gives steps on how to challenge them.

    Jump

  • Hmm, that's actually not a bad response at all. Two thoughts things brings up to me:

    • Decentralization We could use a few more "biggish" instances. Or have existing users balanced out a little more among a few more instances, however you want to think of it.
    • Support Visionary Leaders Who even are the leaders? The admins? Should we have more leadership? My gut likes the anarchy, personally.

    • threads is already going great 💀

    Jump

  • Actually yes and I don’t think it’s a bad idea. Sentiment analysis is not a hard task nowadays. If overused the site would become a bunch of artificial positivity, but I think there could be a place for this. Could be part of a mod toolkit too.

    • Conservatives go to red states and liberals go to blue as the country grows more polarized

    Jump

  • It's such a weird time in the U.S.. Also, it might be a better choice to go to a battleground state.

    • Friendica, its the whole Fediverse, including RSS Feeds.

    Jump

  • I love the idea of Friendica. Unfortunately I can’t imagine any of my friends/family IRL switching away from big tech social media.

    • Is there a way (or desire for that matter) to port the datahoarder subreddit history/comments/etc to lemmy?

    Jump

  • I love this idea. It raises some issues to think about, too. Like, who “owns” that data? Would Reddit file a lawsuit against the Lemmy instance arguing that the data belongs to Reddit? Does the data belong to the users who posted? What TOS do we agree to when signing up for a Reddit account? Are we giving them ownership of all content we post?

    • Almost broke 2.5 million daily total users on Lemmy in the last 24 hours.

    Jump

  • Good to see, but as with all posts like this, it’s important to note that the really important number is “Active Users” That number has gone up significantly as well, just not as fast as number of accounts.

    • What are your favorite automations?

    Jump

  • The integration works just fine. My only issue with my Milas is that the smart features connect over the cloud. They say they have an update adding Homekit support soon but have been saying that for two years

    • What are your favorite automations?

    Jump
    • All my lights turn on and off based on motion sensors
    • Through the unofficial community Mila integration, I control my air purifiers based on different circumstances, like whether the house is empty.
    • Collect indoor air quality info from my Airthings to view in Grafana
