so awesome. Thanks so much, this makes the possibility of having to change instance much less of a burden. 5*

Imagine having to write that many words about this.

Can’t wait to play with this. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, but what lemmy are those first two images from? I need to subscribe to it!

Comfy enough to use for sleeping?

Absolutely love it and looking forward to helping communities grow. I only go back to reddit to check on /r/Ukraine

As a language teacher, I am not concerned in the slightest. Actually, I think we will be one of the last jobs standing in the war with AI due to the complexities and fluid nature of language. Couple that with the human element of teaching, after all, language is means of communication with people, not robots, and I am confident.

Lots of people disagree though, so I could well be wrong. We will see.

Yes, but taking a screenshot is not even close to being the same as scraping my data.

My problem is, I don’t fully understand how to defederate from it.

For example, if I subscribe to a community on an instance that isn’t defederate from Threads, and I post there, am I handing my data to Threads. I don’t understand where the line is at which my data is protected from Threads.

That is a serious problem for me that would make me stop using the fediverse.

It has made me feel like I am going to be giving up on most of the world.

When the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter came out the world was still learning about privacy, and the companies took it away in baby steps. People were already using it and addicted, so I can understand why they didn’t give it up.

This, however, is a new service by fucking Zuckerberg. I honestly think you have got to have something deeply wrong with your cognitive functions to sign up for a new service from that man.

For me, it concerns me that I am going to have to go out of my way to find instances that defederate from it, which is going to be a pain in the ass.

It’s not a trick at all. They want personal users to use it on the chance they then introduce it to work.

They are a very positive company that supports the FOSS community. It is a great product.

No, it isn’t. But there is a self hosted Foss version of it (headscale) that the developers actively support.

I think I have one of the few use cases that it is still useful for. I write textbook materials, the ability to have chatgpt write a short piece of writing saves me a lot of time. For example, ‘write an 80 word passage for a 2nd grade A1 esl learner about visiting grandma. Use the present simple tense.’

Or, make ten cause and effect sentences involving animals that live in the forest.

But even with those very simple prompts, I have to check it and usually ask it to change some vocabulary.

However, if I ask it to do anything with logic or even slightly complicated, it can’t do it, so I always wonder what the heck people are using it for.

For example, ‘list all the elephant and piggie books and fly guy books in order of AR level’

It can’t do it. Thats a pretty basic task, but it gets it completely wrong.

Thanks for your reply. Probably the newer ones, post 2010 anyway.

Actually, I’d be interested in both real time and turn based. I don’t have huge amounts of spare time, probably one hour at a time a few times a week, so if there is any that doesn’t involve too much grinding that would be great.

I only use private trackers other than tigole releases that aren’t available as BHD release.
