Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there :)
@MelodicDinosaur Welcome! The Fediverse is truly what you make of it

@Hedgewizard @MelodicDinosaur who hurt you lol

@MelodicDinosaur
There are a lot of people that don't know any more about this place than you do who are still good people and would like to talk to you. There are a lot of people who are involved in various Linux projects that would be happy to help out if you get stuck somewhere. Welcome to Mastodon.@bardmoss Thank you. That'd sure be a relief - and it'll be good to make some new friends.

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome! Find some hashtags to follow and start your own algorithm. It's pretty cool here.👋
@gparenti My *ownnnn* algorithm! :) :)

True.
If you can, please store both literature and text books securely underground so that future generations can dig them up and use them.
This way, the knowledge of 2000 years won't be completely lost to either the Stupids or the Savages.
Thanks.

@autisticplushy Hiyaaaa :) *waves*

(Phases in time-traveler style)
Damn. The lichen people got to her first.
(It's either lichen, cats or sourdough around here. Pick your tribe.)But seriously, welcome on board - great choice of server, you won't get flooded with shit on there!
My unasked-for advice - if you find that you've followed someone who floods your timeline you don't have to unfollow or mute them - you can also just turn their boosts off (if that's the problem) or if it's more a verbal diarrhoea thing put them in a list of their own.
Have fun. And stay away from the lichen freaks.
@Hedgewizard Oop! A friendly Hedgewizard. Hello!
I hope you'll forgive my asking such a purrsonal question - you're a very handsome cat, but are you a familiar or representative of the wizard or are you the wizard himself?
I'd rather not have to choose a tribe but it'd better not be sourdough because I tried one once and forgot about it and then it just got smelly and I threw it away so I'm afraid the little yeasts that live in the air will gang up on me if I ever try it again.
As for lichen vs. cats, I'll have to think carefully about this. I do like my new lichen friends but I don't want to end up embroiled in gang warfare. I'll have to seek specialist advice.

@MelodicDinosaur
I am an older autistic gentleman who is getting sick and tired of being older. But I don't bite. There are some instances which are only for autistics, such as the one I'm on, autistics.life. also depending on how accepting of different kinds of people you are, there are lots of good people on beige.party.
I am peripherally a member of the Bodhi Linux team. I don't know what I'm talking about most of the time, but I try to be helpful. -

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome! Never feel bad about being selective about who you follor or who you decide to let follow you. Browse around a bit, engage with others, and you'll find 'your people' soon enough. :)

@saxifraga Thanks, Sax :)
P.S. So happy about Gorton and Denton 💚
@MelodicDinosaur @saxifraga we all are. I'm hoping it's the start of something really good.

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome to Mastodon. I find it very nice here. I'm also learning heaps while linuxing along. We had a four-day down and then figured it out. As I said, heaps, hahahaha!

Ben! Take that "ooh, fresh meat" glint out of your eyes and remember you're vegan.
What did we tell you? Only Swedes and Human Beans.

The same Rob #Jetten, before the elections:
"Today, more than a quarter of a million people drew a red line through Amsterdam. A line against the inhuman violence and genocide in Gaza.
We demand more than words, we demand action. An end to the war, help for people who have been suffering for too long, and a political stance that does not look away, but stands up for humanity."
Nice words.
As you said: people demand action now.

Raises the question. Is there any good way to use AI? Is there a way to invert it and turn it on itself, to use AI to destroy AI, to sabotage any ill it is designed to inflict, to undo or replace its propaganda effect, to use it to release the Epstein files?

@dalias @fesshole that's a myopic way to look at it. Most likely the employer doesn't care enough about you to want to deskill you by exposing you to "cognitoharazds". They're following hype and/or they're misguided. I'd be tempted to say they don't even have a strategy around the use of llms, but that's just speculation. So you're not really sabotaging the company by burning tokens. What you're doing is moral posturing that makes you feel better about yourself because you're the main character in your story and you're sticking it to the man. But that's a pointless exercise that only ends up sabotaging the cause you're supposedly fighting for (capitalism, llm hype, late stage capitalism death cult). By silently complying, and using the tokens you're just bolstering their policy.
