What if someone created a social platform called ⵣ which means yaz, as in free spirited humans somehow, who is really free anyway these days, if ever...
A social media platform which would not allow Meta's threads to plunder my content for free, that sounds good.
And people would foster a culture where creatives are compensated for THEIR efforts.
Why didn't we think of this super simple #idea before???

Ich kenne jetzt dieses Beispiel nicht, aber ich glaube, solche Dinge gingen bis mindestens in die frühen 90er zurück (erste Cryptowars).
Und auch die Etablierung von alternativen Algorithmen wie #IDEA (von der #ETHZ) oder die Nutzung von #PGP gehört dazu. Bei PGP war IDEA anfangs der Standard für die symmetrische Verschlüsselung: 128 Bit und nicht das "magische" #NSA-Involvement wie bei #DES. Wobei die NSA DES sicherer machte, das wusste man aber damals nicht.

Has anyone created a web server that serves LLM-generated HTML pages on the fly, using the requested URL as part of the prompt? It could generate semi-realistic page content for e.g. /about or /store.html so that the whole resembles a web site without actually serving any useful content. Kind of a realization of Dead Internet Theory... Best done with a tiny (~1B) language model that is cheap to run on local hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi), with aggressive caching.
They should make a new #TV show where they give contestants one penny and they have to go and find something they can buy that costs one penny.
As I was testing the mouse support I got an idea for a small game that I could include with the OS. It will justify the need for that support in keyboard/text-only driven system.
Here are few test sprites and how it could look like. Your cursor will be changed to that animal, you will leave the trails on the ground (more and more) and you need to avoid the mop that is trying to clean the floor.
Do you recognize what I was inspired by? Are you that old? ;)
Decentralized education is a vision that democratizes learning, making it free and accessible to everyone. By distributing educational resources across a network, no single entity can control the curriculum.

There really isn't a single shitty day that goes by
that some crap doesn't happen
We are constantly bombarded by
horror stories
I wait every day
for the big bang
And when it comes
then we're all so screwed
and completely numb
we will just
stand there motionless
unable to react...
There could be a system
behind it
Well...
I'm just saying...
How New Ideas Arise via The MIT Press Reader [Shared]
While discussing the problem of how ideas arise in his “Science of Logic,” Hegel stated that “the beginning must be an absolute, or what is synonymous here, an abstract beginning.” Therefore, a new beginning “may not suppose anything, must not be mediated by anything,” but “must be purely and simply an immediacy, or rather merely immediacy itself.” In other words, Hegel declares the utter necessity of intuition, renouncing the control of the rational mind in favor of unconscious foresight. This is perhaps motivated by the fact that self-censoring doesn’t exist in the unconscious or in ideas, which are free to combine in improbable and ever-mixing associations.

@kiwiguy We could do a Mastodon/fediverse chess tournament if we are enough people...an 'invite only tournament' made up of fediverse/Mastodon players...perhaps casual, not ranked...a just for fun tournament...

Small redesign of railway signal.
I'm starting to see the grand vision of the game. Setting up rails and signals on them to manage movement of carts using most optimized way. I will then test if they can or can not be destroyed on collision - perhaps they just need to stop/revert.
What I an not crack is the extraction of resources part. To be intuitive and semi-realistic.
