Hey all, just ran into this this morning, I was replying to a comment and it showed up at the same level as the comment I was replying to until a refresh. I'll see if I can reproduce it for screenshots in a bit. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me so far?

Is abliteration based off the research by the Anthropic team? When they got Claude to say it was the golden gate bridge?

Let's not forget that one of the of the core developers is a fascist and Jack gave them 14BTC:

That anonymous Brazilian is Giovanni Torres Parra, a developer who has also built at least two webpages devoted to disseminating the work of the far-right conspiracy theorist Olavo de Carvalho. Before he died in 2022 after contracting COVID-19, de Carvalho — known as Olavo — praised Brazil's military dictatorship, claimed that Pepsi-Cola was flavored with stem cells of aborted fetuses, preached that tolerance for homosexuality was "incompatible" with democracy, and had an office in Virginia decorated with portraits of Confederate generals.

I was gonna come up with something insulting but my coffee hasn't kicked in yet so I simply leave you with a "Get Fucked".

The tl;dr is that the play version of termux has been lagging behind the master github branch because of Google's fuck fuck games with Android permissions. Now it's been updated, but effectively neutered.

Basically, PlayStore termux-app v0.120 release is functionally equivalent to v0.108

It happened recently, the share function doesn't seem to be pulling the URL from the page.

Edit: this is with Firefox mobile beta 127.0b9 as my default browser

I'm just curious as to how you think these are insurmountable problems while every instance in existence today is already managing to navigate these issues.

The only thing the author is suggesting is to pool the resources that are going to waste copying media posts around the fediverse into a new backend (that means it's not directly user accessible and presumably subject to the same restrictions as posts right now) so that the cost of media hosting is more distributed between all the fediverse instances instead of having the big ones hogging all the bandwidth of the small ones with memes because some users decided to subscribe to a community on say Lemmy.world.

Did you even read the article? It's not like all the users just get unrestricted access to storage to treat like a google drive, this is a backend thing. This guy is trying to find a solution to all the wasted bandwidth and storage space from sending copies to all the other instances they're federated with, which is a legimate issue that the instance admins are already dealing with on a daily basis. This will let them pool resources to help lower costs for smaller instances.

As to the CSAM thing I can only imagine it would be easier for one instance to purge fifty images/restore from a backup and everyone else just have to redo their thumbnails as opposed to all the instances having to purge and restore but that's just me.

Hey all! I was looking for an Android Auto replacement app recently and came across Zenroad there's also an android build but it's not compatible with my device unfortunately. Has anyone had any experience with this app?

Edit: ope, just saw the sidebar. Apologies!
