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 :)

Welcome. You're right, it is refreshing. No algorithms pushing stuff at you and no adverts. Or at least no corporate ads, you might find individual artists, makers, musicians and writers selling their work. Try searching on tags to find people to follow. -

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome, pull up a chair and grab a beverage of your choice. Settle in for a relaxed time and find your way around at your own pace

@MelodicDinosaur welcome welcome:) and good luck on your fediverse journey.
If anything there are *too* many people eager to talk about Linux on here, but... maybe thats a good thing? :)
There are definitely many people willing to engage on how we can make everything less awful, and that is unambiguously a good thing

Wait, you can all see this?

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome. You appear to have chosen a really good instance to be your Mastodon home, so that's a great start.
Enjoy! ;)@scribblanitea Never a bad time to get t'kettle on!

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome home
@Wyatt_H_Knott Aww. That's lovely, thank you :)

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome to the Fediverse. Mastodon might be just the place for you. Take the time to search for and follow users and hashtags that you're interested in as it works best once you've curated your feed. Also don't be afraid to boost things as this also helps with engagement.
From my experience so far, Mastodon is a pretty inclusive place with regards to neurodiversity and nerdy stuff like Linux etc. That could also just be my personal experience based on who I follow, but I'm sure you'll find some engaging topics.
You basically get what you give so don't hold back. 😉

@MelodicDinosaur it's a pretty good place, poke around, follow people, search some #tags . No algorithms makes it so you need to put in some effort for it to be very good, but it keeps a lot of garbage off your timeline.

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.

@dalias @alexmu @fesshole Calling it „probably made up“ because of your personal risk assessment strikes me as weird nevertheless.

@ziphi oh damn it it exported with transparent background. Might be invisible if you're looking at the image in dark mode.

@weizenspreu @alexmu @fesshole A casual remark about why a story is likely fake does not call for a detailed explanation of intricacies, especially when this kind of software is dropping logs both intentionally and unintentionally all over the place and there is absolutely significant risk of getting caught.
