It always was. The “problem” is that there’s not 10% of what you can find on Bluesky (well, at least for my interests), sadly. It’s less worse than say, Peertube vs YouTube but still, last time I tried to dig I didn’t find much. i still use it tho, but I’m following like 3 accounts is a hundred on BS. I’ll try and dig a bit more again today.

Yeesh. A paid service and they don’t even have a comment section (plus there doesn’t seem to be a lot of videos on a few subjects I like)? Don’t wanna be a crybaby but they’re really making things harder.

It’s harder than that IMO. There are plenty alternatives to many bad things but people just don’t care. Just like Linux, for the average person that’s got enough shit to deal with, they don’t wanna add what they perceive like a difficulty and remove comfort by having to start from scratch with less options. Also, being cut from the mainstream trends, and the general social thing.

Not speaking for me as I’ve been mostly degoogling and demicrosofting, even tho I still partly feeling like that for YouTube that’s been a very valuable part of my life (yes. I do read and go outside. But please stop suggesting that to people in such threads, that’s missing the point), and that I couldn’t let go off yet. Alternatives rn are either totally devoid of content (at least, the one I like), or paid (didn’t gave a shot to Nebula, I’ll browse it and see, but it might be hard to beat both my favorite creators I spent years curating, and the fact that you can find anything on any obscure thing)

Molly White, who writes the Citation Needed newsletter and Web3 is Going Just Great blog, described this as “a good proposal,” and said it was “weird to see people flaming BlueSky for it,” since it’s not so much “welcoming in AI scraping” but rather “trying to add a consent signal to allow users to communicate preferences for the scraping that is already happening.”

That being said, yes, not great

We probably can’t escape Ai everywhere, let’s face it But most people won’t care like they didn’t care about their data in general before AI

I’m already using Mastodon in parallel, but I must admit I couldn’t find a lot of people to follow…maybe gotta look harder, but I have to admit it doesn’t seem as easy as it does on BS

Yep j’ai vu ça entre-temps Apparemment il a démissioné de son poste depuis, mais

a quitté la direction exécutive de l’entreprise mais reste actionnaire et présidera son comité stratégique et scientifique.

Hm.

Fou comme c’est dur de trouver un projet utile (je dis utile car quoiqu’on en pense, il faut des alternatives à Google et Bing) qui n’est pas dirigé par des gros cons (Brave search, efficace, mais pareil pour le coup, le chef est homophobe + et d’autres détails)

Vraiment, on ne se retrouve qu’avec des compromis. Là par exemple j’hésite à garder Brave parce que je veux une alternative au monopole Google (sinon j’utiliserai Searx ou Starpage), mais vu la tronche de la direction, je vais ptet juste repasser sous DDG malgré que ça utilise Bing, en attendant que d’autres construisent des concurrents (ça a pas l’air de courir les rues)

I don’t know how far in the rabbithole I am, but at this point I feel like it’s nearly impossible to find a company that doesn’t have dirt on it in one way or another. There are alternatives in some domains, but for search engines, it’s really narrowed down to Brave (which also have some not very nice people in it) and Duck duck go, which uses Bing. Which is basically pointless to me, not even talking about using UE products, for me, the best way to get some fresh air is to have companies that have their own search engines (so, not Bing or Google, this is why I don’t use alternatives like Starpage or Searx) There’s Mojeek, yes, but last time I used it, it was…really bad. I still encourage them tho! I’ll give it another shot now.

You look for a images

You get recomanded other similar images (thus engaging to a pleasant, but dangerous endless scrolling)

You can pin you images on “boards” (for instance I have one for fashion, illustration, etc)

There’s probably a workaround to make something similar available online, but I didn’t look info it do far

Ouais clairement, pareil… Ça va être compliqué, va falloir retrouver une alt pour mes contacts IPhone…

Après quitter la France ça veut dire quoi ? Genre si on dlk l’apk ailleurs on peut toujours l’install ?

(mais oui, loi de con)

Le woke utilisé péjorativement c’est vraiment la flemme suprême pour définir un côté progressiste qui agace les conservateurs enfoncés dans leur fauteuil je pense

J’ai remplacé gpt avec depuis 2 semaines, je fais pas pas dingueries ou trucs spécifiques, mais ça marche très bien pour moi

Mais y’a déjà Mistral qui marche très bien, français, open-source, consomme moins que gpt, et qui vient juste de sortir son app ! Ça me tue la division des efforts comme ça.

Ça fait buzzword démonisant cryptobro. Si le mec trempe dans la crypto et qu’à côté il finance un truc avec de bonnes valeurs, perso je cois pas trop le problème.

C’est pas une plateforme décentralisée déjà ? Ça change rien ? Jsp Pis le mec s’est barré c’est ptet justement qu’il voulait plus tremper avec Musk ?
