didnt even realize I almost missed 5/12! happy #signalis day!! I wish I had colored #fanart but I only have #drawing in a small notepad :p so heres to my favorite tragic space lesbians ❤️

Was just checking something on my website and it's like the matrix glitched under my feet?? 😅 feels like I took the same photo twice.. but not #photography

Lovely to hear about some of these!especially the protocol! #fediverse https://wedistribute.org/2026/04/the-seven-deadly-fediverse-ux-sins-a-redemption-report-card/

I'm still on leave until I get better, which still sometimes feels like a very far and unclear goal, but it's been helping. It's given me enough energy to make art a bit like #drawing so here are two #horror pieces. And also a #charcoal drawing of a woman's body which is a medium I've missed since art school. It's so primal to work with the charcoal and do quick instinctive moves to create shadows and shapes, I like when #art is a bit automatic, from the emotion to the paper directly

unfortunately the creator called me out 2 decades ago so imagine how many times he's been asked about his dick flagellum

MOM I promise im LEARNING about salmonella it's not what it looks like #wikipedia

Fighting #depression feels hopeless at times... but it's still easier apparently than fighting the medical examiner to prove I am in fact, actually depressed and suicidal and that need my stupid leave 🥲 i think they just hope half the people who get treated this badly just end it so it eases on the #healthcare system??

typing "anal" every single time to open my #analytics will never stop being a source of laughs 🍑

While my love still remains to hooded crows so far I gotta shoutout some love to wood pigeons who are always there lurking in silence all around, lovey doveying in pairs with their goofy ass faces 😄 Contrary to rock doves who are the devil's asshole and dont deserve the title of dove nor pigeons!!! #birds #birdphotography #streetphotograghy #photography #pigeons #hoodedcrow #woodpigeon

I really fell in love with hooded crows, I know it's partly because so many of them haunt Berlin but I feel like they fit the decor and atmosphere so well too. And they look so cool while also being so goofy sometimes! really great friends <3 I love feeding my local murder especially now in the winter #birds #birdphotography #streetphotograghy #photography

That's not lemmy specific that's the whole point of it and all fediverse apps. They don't lock you in their app or ecosystem. Your comparison with emails is actually the whole point, you can use Gmail with any client and send and receive mails from any other mail platform like Proton. The fact you need two separate pieces is exactly what makes the fediverse resilient.

People need to learn to get over this barrier because the complexity is just a psychological barrier, it's self imposed after years of walled gardens that take you by the hand to lock the door behind. People need to learn a bit more complexity just like they're not gonna escape having their attention spans destroyed without accepting the difficulty of focusing on longer form media. It will take effort to dig ourselves out of the hellhole that the internet became. It's not going to happen with one click or without friction because it's been made hard on purpose to escape the simplicity.

Well if you sell it so well #github 🙄

@moxie@moshpit.social I was about to go take a screencap of your website last time to add to my Links page and I was so happy to see the notebook knowledge it meant you'd redone it :D congrats I love the new one!! spent a bunch of time on it already

Great so it's only a horrifying disgusting process for the meat the other 99% of people eat then! glad to know we solved it

This is a great read but I feel it really shies away from saying the one bad word it skirts around. "We're trapped in systems designed for scarcity and competition instead of abundance and cooperation" – We're trapped in capitalism. We have to say it because for a lot of people it still doesn't stick. And I'm not saying it was the first individualistic system, but it certainly rewired our entire species to it.

A lot of the existing, working solutions that are already put into practice at smaller scales, are silenced or ignored because they function so fundamentally differently from what Capitalism teaches us is how "things work". Capitalistic classe don't want people to learn about cooperatives and ranked voting. Hell I'm giving it five or ten more years before the idea of a library becomes completely alien to most. "It would never work, one person would come and steal all the books!". This is the sad state our species has reached.

It's the same kind of blockage for a post-capitalism society. People literally can't reason in the terms needed for it. They do see the tools like you mention, but they don't believe in them because the drive of cooperating blindly with others, which has brought our species to this point, is broken. People have been brainwashed by zero-sum games and prison dillemas and entire decades of depression post-apocalyptic stories that consitently fail to depict humanity as collaborating just because we can. Instead you get stories of raiders "man is the worst enemy actually" but no hope anywhere to be found. And despite this, when catastrophes like COVID hit, you absolutely do see in real life these completely unrelated social cells/cooperatives/clubs/etc spring into collective action without a reward. To help people, feed them, house them, because for a lot of communities every person they help is a person that will help them back in the future. That happy safe people you lend a hand to, do work for the sake of the community, for the greater good. And that method has worked for goddamn millenias.

People forget that used to be a time were global collaboration was our forte, where we all came together and it's not a coincidence, and it's not just a technological lull enforced on them by a capitalistic class. Yes people are being pushed to zone out of the end of the world, but outside of that they also need reminders of past stories and to be deconstructed out of their completely warped individualistic/capitalistic minds. But it's not just technological or ecological or whatever, it is a different way to operate as a species and it is ruining us. So name the root cause, of all problems, of geopolitics and technology and ecology and carework etc. all collapsing simultaneously. It's capitalism, it's a system with a thrust that is reaching it's unhealthy end goal. And until it's gone, our entire social system favors these people doubling down on focusing on their own navel. On privilegizing the safe harbor of their own lives and immediate vicinity over the fight of going in the streets with hundreds others are realizing their power. To get people to fight you will to remember they can trust each other, that the polarization runing us is a lie, that the world isn't full of evil assholes. But its hard when every asshole is given a gigantic stage and microphone to remind every one constantly.

I don't know where I'm going with this rant. Just hate this system.

That would be cool if I wanted Notion to become cancer like Google or Microsoft apps. But I guess we're getting there anyway. This app has just become sad. You could have been the greatest and you just ended up office slop.

i regret to inform you that we have reached the "you can get your ass hacked by an #ai" stage of 2025 thanks to #mcp

People in this thread being like "just stop watching the news" and then what? Do you all not go outside and see the same misery and horror? Does capitalism stop crushing you once you don't look at your bank account? Do you all truly believe there is nothing that can be done about any of it and that thus it's needless pain??

To me this is how we got here, I kno I can just ostrich the suffering away but do none of you feel like the pain is precisely the mechanism that regulates our world and that it's a signal to try to change things? It's the pain of a dying world and I refuse to think this is business as usual. Past worst crisis didn't happen in an accelerationist decaying world they didn't happen while the planet was burning etc. You can't compare to the past. You only have the present to act from and right now I do feel things are not okay and that we need to each find ways to act.

Love all the life everywhere brought by spring 🌸 aphids I guess? Not sure

#berlin #photography #streetphotography #insects

mindtrap / a armless girl / last straw

No photo today! Instead have some of my recent ink + pen drawings #art #drawing #dark #ink #mastoart #darkart #fediart #illustration

spring is here, trees bleed and recolor. the plastic birds are back out #berlin #photography #streetphotography

Finally switched from #plex to @jellyfin and I feel so dumb cause it was so easy and quick! Brought back the nostalgia of customizing my old XBMC setup 💠 :p

Still can't believe I could have saved myself so many rants about enshittification over the years 🥲 But I suppose every of these rants and all the others about every other app are part of my anticapitalist villain origin story so I probably needed them to be where I'm at

soap machines, 99+ Luftballons and a barred entrance #berlin #photography

Watching the excellent (and completely unhinged) Possession (1981) and I keep thinking that baby Sam Neill is Dan Stevens 😅 to be fair the latter has become such a horror darling to me that I had forgotten who was the OG at playing madness. Adjani absolutely KILLS it too I heard it inspired the acting in the new Nosferatu then I guess I should finally see it
#horror #horrormovies #HorrorCommunity #Movies

Every word of this speaks true to me right now https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fediverse-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied/ by @Daojoan excellent piece #fediverse

Been having quite a lot of fun playing with water and ink, I hadn't worked that way for years. I forgot how much I loved the randomness and texture water can create. As a sucker for texture I almost want to let water do more work than me but then I'll just end up back on my abstract water and paint stuff 😅. I think I'm just in a period where I hate life so seeing the blackness and grit of the black and white and the paper feels satisfying and I need scenes that hurt in addition to just the medium. #art #mastoart #fediart #blackwhite #ink #drawing #illustration

more wandering #berlin for complex textures and patter—SUUUUUUUNNNNNNN 😭😭😭I love you stay pls ☀️ #photography #urbanphotography #streetphotography

Yesterday #berlin was dark and grey... aka my favorite
#urbanphotography #photography #streetphotography

wont someone think of the poor LLMs 🙏 https://savethe.ai/#ai

Been meaning to post some of my favorite photos of #berlin so far but I hadn't realized how many I had already taken 😅 I guess I can finally consider myself back on track when it comes to #photography even if i'm still rebuilding a new style from the ashes of my photosets from years back

Some #night finds #berlin #photography

the secret to defeating dark #berlin is to make peace with its beauty

I will literally sell a kidney to play whatever game a developper describes as "Signalis inspired"

The problem is it's not really an experiment, it's what's happening all around us on every website. We're being flooded by entirely AI-generated content and users and conversations. And yes a lot of people fall for it, but I'm long past finding it funny, it doesn't make me happy to see the Internet I loved be a shell of its former self because everywhere people think along your lines. I'm not saying you're being evil or anything, just that there's way too many people out there contributing to the dead internet "just to see if it'd work" when in the end we know it works but more importantly we don't know how to stop it. You're just making the problem worse for laughs and I think that's a little too bad. It's not like the people you fooled would come to you or see your eventual "Sike!" video. They'll just see it, contribute to the algorithm, and leave.

I'm quite a fan of the PARA methodology which seems to have some common ground with this https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/

I wish more platforms had a Random button like Wikipedia has. Like just give me a random song from the entirety of apple music, or a random YouTube video. Let me truly explore stuff without a query

I swear reorganizing your phone’s screens is the modern equivalent of having a picture fuck up your Word document. Moving apps or adding widgets to stacks is an exercise in patience and precision if you don’t want all your pages instantly irreversibily fucked up

I don't tweet about this because this account has always been technical, and I'm terrified of getting personal. But for #PrideMonth I'd like to not hide for once so yes: I am a proudly transgender and autistic. It's part of who I am and I wouldn't change any of it for anything 💃🏻

I wish myself the strength to be more open about this. To be less scared of what might happen, to not have to fear bots will crawl my profile for LGBT flags and harass me. I hope this is at least one good step towards that.

And to all my queer friends I wish you a happy month, and good luck against all the hate out there. And to anybody else still questioning, believe in yourself and stay strong – things will get better in time I trust. You know yourself best always believe that 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ #Pride

I hate this « we angered Twitter » shit. no, you angered people, and they’re voicing their anger on social media. You could close Twitter and those people would still exist and be offended all the same you’re just mad you have to see it #basecamp

Reminds me of the people saying we don’t need ethics/politics in AI because « it’s just maths » no *everything* is politics

Staying out of politics is in fact the most political statement you can make because it leaves a you-shaped hole in society where a good person could be and that void is what makes dangerous influences on politics stronger

I'm slowly going through @fastdotai's book on deep learning, and at times it's truly excellent. But I am CONSTANTLY pissed off/frustrated at the decision to only use their OWN library for ALL code samples knowing it is riddled with counterintuitive abbreviations #MachineLearning

I see n_out and .c, I assume they're number and count but don't make me guess. I'm learning, I don't have the time or the mental energy to spend on deciphering every line because of some guy's laziness to type a few characters months/years ago, when it hurts my learning

I have strong beliefs about naming in programming, I believe there is not a single reasonable use case for shortenings and abbreviations in an era where everything has intellisense, autocompletion and C/C. The tradeoff is just too big to ever be worth it

So when I see dozens and dozens of it riddled through a learning book I'm just left questioning whether the people who wrote it understand what it means to be thrown in a domain already riddled with confusing terminology

It remains a great book and I've learned a lot, but I really truly wish it less often felt like a giant ad for FastAI. "Look at this crazy thing you can use that no other library can do!", that's cool, it's impressive, but if I can't use it anywhere else then... why?

Is it really that essential to learning DL to learn how the Learning Rate Finder works if I'm never going to use it outside FastAI? Is it that radical of an advance if no other library bothered to implement it? I know you're not lying, but I'm bothered that it feels like it

I also know you're not going to refactor your whole library to remove abbreviations because you're probably also very opinionated about it. But maybe don't use it exclusively in a book aimed at beginners, how about you show me libraries people actually use in production

if you'd have told me in 2021 i'd be reading a guide on how to clandestinely deactivate police robot dogs I would have been.. so not surprised because everybody's been warning about this for years oh my god stop using tech for the worst possible shit

[x] I'm in this future and I don't like it

Back propagation is when you make a list of your fuckups and how to fix them and you go back in time to give it to your past self again and again. thank you like and subscribe for more shitty ML facts #MachineLearning

This is mindblowing stuff from OpenAI yet again https://openai.com/index/dall-e/ I dont agree with everything they do but I have to recognize the results
