The video in that article is hilarious.

The lobotomies will continue. Free models will keep getting better.

I like lemmies approach of not trying to reinvent the wheel and just let people put their matrix usernames into their profile for secure communication.

Same reason people fanboy over anything. They have made a personal investment in something, be it time or money, and are now trying to justify it by saying everything else is trash.

Then this gets reinforced by their bubble and more and more extreme opinions form. Reasonable people don't behave this way.

And people still say Bitcoin would fall apart if it increased it's blocksize limit that was set over a decade a go...

I don't get what would defederating with Facebook-federated instances gives you, though.

Means the instance isn't part of the hive mind and we obviously can't have that!

Good thing we don't have custom emojis on monero.town and the admin account isn't used for things outside of the local community :D

I'm actually quite a bit younger than that. I was very much into stocks but got scammed in the GME fiasco when they disabled the buy button and got into Monero (at least I know beforehand that crypto is manipulated as fuck). Monero lead to FOSS and now I run a xmr node, i2p node, lemmy instance, selfhost cool stuff, etc. I learned a lot of stuff this way.

Artists have the choice to go with FOSS software, instead they let the industry get captured by Adobe while crying about AI (and when adobe adds ai its suddenly an awesome tool again). I honestly don't have much empathy left for traditional artists (specifically painters, just last week i donated to a guitar player).

BotDefense was great. About 10% of mod activity on r/monero was done by it and with great accuracy too!

My home instance requires you to submit proof that you are human by either posting on an existing social media account or anonymously by sending 0.01 XMR (about 1.5€), that system is really hard to game (i guess you could spend a bunch of money on accounts but those would get banned and the funds would just pay for hosting lol).

I think instance admins will just have to make sure they don't have bots on their platform and block instances that do a bad job at it leading to others getting invaded.

After moderating a bigger subreddit and seeing just how much spam there was in the comments and just how many people spend time replying to these bots I basically stopped reading them. Here I haven't see bots yet and at least my home instance watches out that it stays that way.

If possible, i make online payments with Monero. For example hosting, vpn, anonaddy and a lot of giftcards.

Monero is just as much of a tool as AI, change my mind.

Just a tip, you should change the default pict-rs logging to "warn", the pre-set default logs wayyy too much and causes really noticeable bloat on smaller instances :D
