Don’t make me believe this is the kind of talk that’s going on Twitter.

Very nice achievement, favoring and stimulating FOSS use. OpenSCAD no less.

That guy (Rich) got a big piece of shit up his ass. He goes all the way to quote Socrates. It’s funny.

This is just trolling, at this point.

Creating unbiased public, open-source alternatives to corporate-controlled models.

Unbiased? I don’t think that’s possible, sir.

ChatGPT is worse. The others not so much.

I think many people wouldn’t like to live under a “Nerd Reich”, so it’s only natural that there is a mainstream article against that. I’m assuming people who don’t understand anything about the technology that keeps their attention most of the time are concerned about the possibility. Society losing grip over itself, that is, language (social skills) not being the primary characteristic of the successful anymore. That is a blow conventional people won’t take easily.

Awesome discussion.

People not accepting that other people got a easier time doing certain things than others is certainly a problem, but too much blaming isn’t good as well.

It doesn’t matter if they’re nerds or not. What matters is where society is swaying to.

What wouldn’t I be able to access without compatibility investments? Spotify, LinkedIn? I think I’m fine.

Besides, what’s the point of OSS that is owned 85% by a big company?

I don’t think being afraid of it is the right way to go. But that is really convenient for Big Tech isn’t it? At least as of now, being online (or a digital being) means you only see what Google or the LLMs want you too. There is a complete detachment of local culture to give in to this global vision, but as envisioned by Big Tech.

I’ve searched for local newspapers using Google Maps localization, which is far from perfect, just to see if my local culture is still there. If people actually live like they lived 10-15 years ago. And they’re the same. It’s just that, as incredible as it may seem, the local physical culture of the city is getting superseded by digital realities. The people are the same, but they’re more or less invisible now.

It’s crazy the way things are going, but I think the response should be technological also and not avoiding knowledge or the effort necessary for it.

Just put me through 4 years of a paid training position instead of University already. Finding a job has been shit because of lack of experience.

Television lose their hold on opinion, librarians become dangerous.

I can ask AI things and then check if it is correct somewhere else. It’s very good at guiding you towards knowing things. Sometimes it will avoid giving information, but it is always useful at answering things. It’s like someone you can bother without having to resort to forums or other boards. It advanced my knowledge a lot. I already read a lot, but you can’t ask a book to clarify things.

I learn a lot using AI. In a way I wouldn’t be able to learn on my own.

I completely get that someone used to monopolies can’t understand Mastodon. I don’t think it has anything to do with understanding technology, though.

Maybe they didn’t invest that much on security, as the article pointed out for not having a system that would uniquely identify only the number linked to the account.

Are people negative and rude or not expressed passion towards anything?

Also, I think there is a good passion for tech surrounding this community. I like that.
