  • @aidanamerica — still trying to find a niche (or at least people who want to see me talk about the varied things I’m interested in)

  • I create stuff but I’m too afraid to share it with people online because no one wants have someone’s YouTube video shoved at them. Except I also tend to write long, pointless comments like this one, so I guess I am a creator.

    • How will lemmy instances survive if they get too big?

  • I think we’ll see a variety of servers with different funding models, similar to how radio and tv stations in the us can have a variety of funding models. NPR has a network of member stations that all carry their content (if the stations want, or they can get content from another station, or they can make it themselves).

    Threads is an example of a federated service with a corporate funding model. I definitely think it’ll survive since they have as much money as Facebook wants to sink into it.

    But we’ll probably also see servers that run on donations by a dedicated community.

    If Threads is the NBC/CBS/ABC of the federated landscape, then those small servers will be like public radio stations, which operate on donations and the occasional government grant.

    I think there are people who would chip in a little bit to fund a non-commercial server just the same as there are people who chip in money to NPR.

    • Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Threads

  • What part of threads could they even argue was stolen from Twitter? It’s an open source protocol plus Instagram logins. You think Facebook needed to hire people to tell them about how to post text on the internet?

    • Genuinely frightening how much they have nerfed ChatGPT for code development.

  • Gpt4 is not good at writing code. I think it’s because it has a lower token limit. Ask Gpt 4 to write out detailed specs for the code you want, then copy and paste that into a Gpt-3.5 session and ask it to write the code

    And if it gets cut off, paste in the last line it output successfully and ask it to continue with the line following that one. Then just copy and paste the blocks together

  • This is why I refuse to take relationship advice from the internet. I wonder how many adults have gotten divorced because a teenager on Reddit told them to

    • Ready to take the plunge and spin up a Lemmy server but I'm already stuck trying to come up with a domain name.

  • That’s how we got a generation of products with made up names like “Twitter” and “Google.” Just mash some words together until you get a word that sounds good. Like…. Trone. Trone.pro is $3/yr on Namecheap. My finders fee is astronomical, though
