Step back a decade. If someone were to tell you, "in ten years we could have AI automate things so that everyone's lives are enriched." What story would you tell?
Most likely: automation will take away drudgery, so that people can focus on their artwork, their music, their code, their creative pursuits.
It's no wonder there's such a backlash.
I am fine with the use of generative AI to automate some of the boring parts. But slop hucksters aren't looking to automate the boring things, they're looking at removing the greatest joys in life at all, creative production.
It leaves life hollow, soulless.

There are really two ends to slop hucksters, the top and the bottom.
At the top are the profiteers, who just want to make money by stop paying for creative work.
At the bottom are those who were jealous of not being able to produce such things themselves.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 100 (milestones edition) 🎊
Good morning Fedi friends!
Today I'm filled with gratitude as I think back about all the ways I have changed - and become more empowered - since I installed 
@yunohostYunoHost 
on my VPS on December 17, 2024.
The biggest difference is my state of mind. For example, yesterday I started using #PeerTube, after setting up an account on the instance MakerTube. I am enjoying it IMMENSELY. I uploaded a couple of my videos there but then immediately thought: I should set up my own instance!
If you had told me 4 months ago that one day I would be a couple of clicks away from setting up my own PeerTube, I would have thought you were hallucinating. But #YunoHost has given me this power and confidence – for which I am infinitely grateful.
Since early February 2025 I have also gotten a bit of experience installing things on a separate VPS with command lines. Even if my self-hosted Ghost blog has given me lemons so far (Mastodon Hug of Death, you're to blame for this!) I am undeterred. I will try tweaking my NGINX settings next week, to set up a reverse proxy and increase my cache. Or heck, I could block Mastodon preview card requests and all my problems would go away. (If someone knows how to do that, please let me know!)
100 days of self-hosting, wow! I feel like a completely different person. Digital sovereignty rocks.
What are my goals for the next 100 days?
1) solving my self-hosted Ghost blog troubles
2) getting an education in caching, reverse proxies and the like
3) setting up my PeerTube instance
Thank you for encouraging me to go on this journey and for all your incredible advice and generous offers to help. This is truly the best community ❤️

In general, slop hucksters also fail to understand the limitations of the tools they work with.
"Vibe coders" are the slop hucksters of code, or at least, those who wish to turn an entire vibe coded prompt into an unmaintainable codebase.
Step back a decade. If someone were to tell you, "in ten years we could have AI automate things so that everyone's lives are enriched." What story would you tell?

So yeah I'm gonna post on 
@AZ🔲//AZ-art//🔳 for now on since .art is blocked from a lot of instances it as become a less than reliable way to host my art especially when reaching out to the furry community (Who's like mostly what I draw so yeah)
Hi everyone! ☀️
I'm Azède and I just moved from .art who I used to host my art for a long time (
@AnzelianeThe shapeshifter art dump 🎨🌱)
I'm a french furry artist making art when I'm able to.
Here's some of my recent artworks, and since I'm still in the process of moving them out more are on their way to be posted here.
Glad to have joined this lovely place, have a wonderful day! 
I’ve had a *lot* of help in life from kind people who didn’t need to help me but did anyway, and I’d like to pay it forward.
Please feel free to ask me about the topics in the thread (in public or by DM), and I’ll be happy to help in any way I can, subject to my free time.

Type friends in Berlin: next week we are traveling to your awesome city with our students! A reservation fell through and left 3 students without a place to stay. Tuesday April 1 — Friday April 4 for sure. Maybe also the weeked before (for one) Please adopt one of these adorable type students if you can! #typemedia #berlin #adoptastudent #couchsurfing

Got two videos recommended to me:
- Thai young person can’t afford US$120 rent in Bangkok
- American digital nomad showing off her ‘cheap life hack, a US$500 condo in Bangkok’
These two things are related
옛날 트위터 시절에 소방호수 무게 가지고 인셀들과 키배 뜨던 거 생각난다. 나는 소방장비는 가벼워질 필요가 있다고 주장하는데 인셀들은 무거운 데에는 무거운 이유가 있으니 여성을 배제해야 한다는 식으로 주장했었는데.

Hi >> question >> in your fediverse research life, have you encountered instances/software that can group together a large community of for example cultural instances?
We are thinking of mobilizon but are interested in other ways of local communities being able to announce their events for a particular city.
Having a Live feed of your hometown/local server (h)as a connecting presence.
We are talking soon to a local Brussels connector organisation, and would like to show some possibilities.
Thanks!
This video of Miyazaki reacting to AI tech is always relevant, but many in tech downplay the fact that one of the ideas that made him feel like "we are nearing the end of times" was their desire to make an AI that generated images

@stefanoStefano Marinelli There are sane uses for something like kubernetes and there are stupid ones. If you develop a highly distributed system consisting of many services, you can profit e.g. from the possibility of independent tech stacks, scalability and failover, etc. And you have to weigh that against the drawbacks, like how to keep track of all the components, libraries etc in use, e.g. regarding security...
But *when* you decide to use it, you certainly need some "devops" capabilities. Could be a team containing "operations" guys, or when it's a single person, it's not enough that they "can write code". I mean, *should* be obvious, right?

I have been playing with a new term: "slop huckster"
A slop huckster is more than someone who likes to play with generative AI, or has some arguments for why they've been able to use it productively
Slop hucksters argue that generative AI means you should stop doing creative and productive things, kind of likes to rub it in your face that they can make creative persuits useless
The attitudes of slop hucksters resemble incels, a kind destructive bitterness stemming from jealousy
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber "The attitudes of slop hucksters resemble incels, a kind destructive bitterness stemming from jealousy" perfect analogy.

Have managed to hack together a very rudimentary integration between Open Media Match (Hasher-Matcher-Actioner / HMA) and Mastodon. This can act something like IFTAS CCS but for your own infrastructure.
Yes, it does mean running software incubated at Meta, but the alternative is buying from a provider like Thorn or reimplementing the entire hash & match software.
This is just a proof of concept, similar to the prototype by Juliet Shen (julietshen.bsky.social) for AT Protocol services.
This would allow hash & match for CSAM against the NCMEC hash database and NCII against the StopNCII hash database.
This isn't a production thing, just a proof of concept, it's not deployed anywhere. The only thing that HMA receives is the media file to hash.
Here I've manually loaded up that cat picture into an instance of HMA that I have running locally, and show that when that content is posted or reblogged by a local user, the hash is calculated, and if there's a match, it creates a report via the mastodon API.
