@ggus@mastodon.social Was running one using #Orbot kindness mode but it seemed to make my phone hot and my battery run down fast. Bug? Any advice? Currently on 17.8.0-RC-3-tor-0.4.8.21 Also, is it worth enabling for mobile data or is that intensive on data? Was thinking of running one on an RPi but since we have a static IP maybe not as effective? Is a regular bridge better?

@lzg@mastodon.social Without those "outdated or weak arguments", in what way is using LLMs immoral? The environmental one was the strongest I could think of. How is it outdated or weak? "Stochastic parrot" is an argument about effectiveness, not morality. And copyright is illegitimate anyway. If AI manages to do away with it entirely, that would be a win. @autonomousapps@mstdn.social @anildash@me.dm

@signalapp@mastodon.world You should officially support third-party clients for greater decentralisation and so that it's easier for them to support all features including Signal Secure Backups.

What household pet are you most closely related to? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7uU7wd2cvk Apparently, it&#39;s mice and rabbits. Who knew?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZllWiKKPHk Wild. Scientist shows that animal communication is more complex than we think. Prairie dogs apparently have specific predator alarm calls for different species and appearances, and can even supposedly make names for objects they have never seen before. For example, they have different calls for coyotes, dogs, and humans, and can communicate what colour shirt a human is wearing and whether they are carrying a gun.
