  • "see the real problem here was that he made his comments in a public space that could be linked back to himself, not the content of the posts per say, we're all just fine with the contents, he just shouldn't say those parts out loud yknow" -The Vice President of the Unites States

  • WHICH REGULATIONS ELON, WHICH ONES?

  • This is an underrated story I think. Elon Musk literally purchased the opportunity to fire the person primarily responsible for regulating Space X which is intimately tied to his other business Starlink. This is exactly why billionaires are dangerous, why allowing unlimited political spending by private parties is dangerous, and showcases the utterly broken state of our current regulation arm. Fuck Fascist Elon Musk and all the people who enabled him to do this.

  • why do we keep saying it's nazi-like? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....

  • if all it takes to keep a developer improving their game is to hype it to the moon and then turn it into a meme when it releases then maybe we should do that more often /s

    forreal forreal though these game devs are the shit and I'm grateful for all the work they keep putting into this

  • I really like this perspective, thanks for sharing!

  • This is exactly it, open source is not just the availability of the machine instructions, it's also the ability to recreate the machine instructions. Anything less is incomplete.

    It strikes me as a variation on the "free as in beer versus free as in speech" line that gets thrown around a lot. These weights allow you to use the model for free and you are free to modify the existing weights but being unable to re-create the original means it falls short of being truly open source. It is free as in beer, but that's it.

  • That is fantastic

  • I thought the same thing initially but modern video codecs, plus the developer's plan to limit the videos to 30 seconds actually seem feasible. Large Lemmy and mastodon servers are also pricy to run but the community finds a way, I think it'll be the same for Loops.

  • Loops is a TikTok clone in the same way pixelfed is an Instagram clone. It's an app and a backend server setup with activitypub. You can sign up now to the developer's instance if you're interested. After signup you get access to the beta app. It'll probably hit the app store in a few weeks/months depending on how fast the developer can get it done.

  • Choosing is not so much about whether it's internet facing or not. From the programmer's perspective and an administrator's perspective there are pros and cons to both. As someone looking to self-host, if you want to run a service that works with either, I would make the choice based on what seems the most supported, or which one you feel the most comfortable looking up and performing administrative tasks on. I tend to use postgresql more just because I have more experience with it and can recommend it if that's what you need, but mysql can be just as good or better in many circumstances. Pick whichever one looks easier to you.
