That’s how Reddit used to work until they made the idiotic change (IMO) to go the other way. A blockee loses the ability to even participate in any thread/post started by the blocker.

For example, after the change if I blocked you now, you wouldn’t be able to respond to me or anyone else further down a thread I started.

This is a boon to bullshitters, disinformation campaigns, etc since those people could just post their bullshit and then block anyone who attempted to call them out.

I meant in terms of hiding a particular user.

To me, blocking means “I don’t see $”. Not “$ doesn’t see me”. Ad blocking, script blocking, site blocking via DNS, etc is my mental model.

A browser plugin bringing the functionality back would probably do well.

If history is any indication, they will complain and no significant number of them will cancel.

Seeing as these ads will be targeted and of varying length, I wonder if a SponsorBlock-like extension with the ability to accept training data from users to help identify ads.

The Plex server application has a feature which scrubs videos and identifies intros so you can skip them like you can on Netflix. Wouldn’t it be sort of like that?

Seems like a good use of AI/ML.

Self hosted option is a docker image. Probably not difficult to set up.

Are you under the impression Microsoft will be running it themselves? I don’t get it.

I’m usually on the lookout for carbon offsets when companies “pledge” to reduce carbon but those are bullshit.

This though? Pretty kick ass.

Ahh gochya.

I mean, I get why people scoff at it. But look at it from their perspective.

They’re getting heat for all the energy LLMs use. The natural response is to buy carbon free energy and good on them for taking that step, frankly.

Read the comment I replied to.

Safest power source per kWh. This is some boomer-ass scare mongering.

First I’m hearing of it and I’m starting to question my security given I installed my OS using it.

If I get back into it, I’ll probably try out Bigscreen. I haven’t dug deep enough into it to know if it requires an account but I wouldn’t expect this one to require it.

Sigh… I listen to David’s podcast, Volts.

WTF is he still doing on Twitter?

I paid for lifetime in 2012. Worth it.

Hm. Let’s see what I get.

And here’s another one for good measure:

It is, yes. But it’s also legal to make your own.

What’s your sample size, do you actually talk to many gen z

They aren’t the only ones to have noticed this issue.

If you asked them where they saved a photo on a smartphone…

“Where did you save the file” isn’t typically asked in the context of a smart phone. Maybe on Android more so than iOS.

The problem with your argument is that it is 100% possible to get ChatGPT to produce verbatim extracts of copyrighted works.

What method still works? I’d like to try it.

I have access to ChatGPT 4, and the latest Anthropic model.

Edit: hm… no answers but downvotes. I wonder why that is.
