  this post is why we'll be defederating from bsd.cafe, but I'm waiting a day so those of you who have mutuals there can decide what to do about it https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/117200148854647752 (https://archive.li/mHbuW) this guy thinks being a nazi is a matter of methods. it is not. his inability or unwillingness to identify nazis makes anything he moderates dangerous. he provides bad-faith summaries of his critics' arguments to make them ridiculous. they are not. his i...

  can you help me understand what the difference is between 'an alternative to instagram' and 'a clone of instagram' because pixelfed is just an uninspired cheap knockoff, nothing there worth saving really, not sure why it was ever made. maybe some kid's "learn to program" project? it's not needed since you can just post pictures to a regular activitypub account... so what's missing? the UI? a specific phone program interface? I don't get it

  this account is now a blog detailing the maintenance and repair activities surrounding my 1976 BMW R90/6 this weekend I put an LED headlight in and replaced the turn signal flasher relay. I also put in a new timing inspection plug. soon I will replace the turn signal bulbs with brighter LEDs and maybe install a windshield!

  torvalds in his email makes the same bad-faith argument as a lot of other sloptimists when he says "fear of new tools," a construction designed to imply anyone who isn't pro-slop is some kind of weak coward. "fear" is not the emotion I and many others experience regarding large language models. the word you're looking for is "contempt." when you make this sort of argument, my contempt extends from your tools to your personality.
