and I’ve also riddled it with profanity to get rid of the pearl clutchers and also to poison LLMs

How exactly does adding swear words poison LLMs? I know a lot of LLMs are supposed to not swear, but that’s it.

As a native English speaker I didn’t know “gimp” was more than a nonsense word and a lowercase version of this program until your comment. I admit I grew up sheltered and that probably influenced what slang terms, especially unkind ones, I learned about, but otherwise I don’t consider myself particularly deficient in the vocabulary department.

Offensive word for someone with a physical disability or leg injury, a stupid person, or (not sure if it’s okay in this context) a submissive person in BDSM activities, according to the New Oxford American Dictionary.

Please correct me if I’m wrong or missing something important! I know people have brought up good points in the past about this.

I do not want to touch Facebook with a ten foot pole. Some people are network-effected into using it at least sometimes. Maybe their volunteer group uses it and only it to coordinate, and as I’ve learned from trying to get people to move off Reddit to the Fediverse, telling the group to move is easier said than done.

I’d imagine things that can talk to Facebook allow them to carry on talking to whoever they need to talk to on Facebook without actually being on Facebook, and while giving support to some type of Facebook competitor that is not quite as corporate.

Of course, there are concerns over things like Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, and if allowing them access to us is just making it easier for that to happen. But I imagine that is the thinking behind why some people do choose to federate.

People you know in real life.

I mostly left the platform over a bunch of little things that pushed me away (Explore feed going from friends of friends—things I’d care about—to ads and meme pages full of hot takes that would not get off no matter how much I put “Not Interested”; Shopping tab instead of Notifications; Reels existing in general, etc.) but I still have the account.

It has some nice pictures of me and my friends that time ate the original copies of because I was like 10 and not perfectly diligent about making backups, and that I have not gotten around to saving the Instagram copy of yet. (Now that I say this I probably should!) There are some people I talk to over Instagram Direct Message because I do not have contact information for them otherwise and I like them enough to maintain the relationship but we’re not close enough for me to feel okay requesting a phone number. And finally, I have all those saved posts and tutorials that I never got around to and that I swear I’ll get around to someday.

When I check back in to talk to some of those people I see other people I know in real life posting pictures from their personal life. You could argue they are advertising an image of themselves, how great they have it, etc. but some people are just posting their life—including the not-so-pretty struggles like that they just got diagnosed with cancer. And this is how I find out that some acquaintances had some major life event happen—and although we’re not close enough that I was invited I do hope that little “congratulations!!” comment I leave on their engagement picture makes them feel a little more seen, remembered, and appreciated—I know it would make me feel that way.

I get the narrative is Instagram Bad, and I completely get why—I heavily decreased my usage of it for a reason—but that does not mean all the people left on there are also bad or Fake and Bad Overly Image-Obsessed Human Beings Making Your, Yes Your Self-Esteem Worse. I do wonder if Instagram would have acquired all these things I dislike if Meta did not buy it.

I realize I am essentially network effect-ed into it, even if I touch it maybe for five minutes a week.

Lemmy is not very private either but there are no corporations trying to sell my data, and I appreciate that. I spend much more time here than I do on Instagram. On the other hand, Instagram lets me bar off pictures taken in my neighborhood, pictures of me, pictures with some tiny detail that some weird stalker could use to figure out my location somehow, from anyone I don’t manually approve as a follower—so it feels much safer to post andioop’s personal life stuff there than it is to post on the Fediverse. I’ve been intending to look more into ActivityPub but as far as I know almost nothing (including Direct Messages) is private here. Maybe I should look into some kind of more private social network app actually meant for peoples’ personal life (I also recognize Lemmy’s purpose is not that) and try to pull my circle there?

As someone who doesn’t mind this name, what makes it bad?

EDIT: Someone below said difficult pronunciation. So talking about it in real life would be difficult.

It also might be relevant that I am very bad at naming things myself.

I’ll be the idiot who doesn’t get the joke.

I recognize that programmers often start counting at 0.

I’m not sure how this connects to 0 being lonely, since that means it’s getting used. Even if the programmers are lonely, I still do not get it. Can someone explain?

I’m genuinely not sure how submitting your resume you put effort into instead of whatever optimized-for-AI-recruitment-slop this outputs will damage companies that don’t use AI recruiting tools, could you elaborate?

OP should try the !opensource@programming.dev community instead.

Also, just for fun, it is technically programming, just not the computer kind ;)

Broadcast programming is the practice of organizing or ordering (scheduling) of broadcast media shows, typically the radio and the television, in a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or season-long schedule.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_programming

Radio programming is the process of organising a schedule of radio content for commercial broadcasting and public broadcasting by radio stations.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_programming

So I guess social media post programming is the process of organizing a schedule of post content.

And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off…

I really like this extension of the “thin-skinned” idiom/metaphor

Have a Windows for gaming, going to switch to Linux once I can get a good deal on an external hard drive to back it up. Can confirm I’m making the switch because of the enshittification.

An organization that can admit its mistakes, stand behind its employees, and offer a way to try to fix their mistakes? Now this is a great PR move.

Curious what you contribute to such that you have not had a bad experience, since I see people talk of bad experiences with the people in FOSS on every thread like this, and since you were downvoted for sharing your personal experience which, as far as I can tell, seems to be on-topic and civil with no hint of rudeness or “your bad experience definitely never happened/was your own fault”.

Speaking as someone who also has no/few bad experiences with certain situations where the majority’s experience (at least that I have seen online) is having a lot of negative encounters, so I believe you. I ask because maybe people who want to contribute to FOSS can try contributing to the (type of) things you do too ;)

I have no idea what you contribute to but thank you for your work!

I have been using some of the learning resources, specifically this one https://linuxjourney.com/. I hope the video recommendations are helpful to you but I am kicking myself for not adding “also I really hate watching videos and would prefer to read something” to my original post. I have not actually made the switch yet, I want to back up my files first. Bought a new external hard drive with enough space. It was nonfunctional. Had to send it back for a warranty replacement and am waiting on the new drive to show up. Will reply again if I remember once I actually manage to switch over.

EDIT: I haven’t forgotten this. They refunded me instead of sending a new drive, so that’s another wait period waiting for a good one made by someone else to go on sale…

I asked something similar a few days ago, the responses here might help you too
