"I solve problems" - According to marketing people, that makes me an AI. Thanks, @It's Just Me for pointing it out πŸ™‚ #StefanoAI #AIBarista #SlopCoffee
I write technical articles on my blog. AIs show up in large numbers to read them, crawl them, learn from them. Time passes. I publish a new post. And right on schedule, someone comments: "This was clearly written by an AI". Which is fascinating, really. I write. Machines read. I keep writing. Then humans accuse me of being the machine. At this point I am not sure if the problem is that AI sounds too human, or that humans have forgotten what a human who actually studies sounds like. Either way, I will keep writing. Worst case scenario, the AIs will enjoy it. Best case scenario, one day a human will too. #IT #Blogging
Dear friends, over the past few months, from time to time, some people have asked me whether it would be possible to donate something to BSD Cafe using crypto. Personally, I am not an expert, and I have never been particularly enthusiastic about technologies that promise to revolutionize everything. That said, I do see some practical use cases, since there are services that can be paid for this way (VPS, etc.). This could be used to extend the BSD Cafe services/coverage. For this reason, and purely as an experiment, I opened a Monero wallet to see how it goes. At the moment it is empty, so if anyone would like to make a donation in Monero, the address is 82ZTWAe5njHMng5g4c1x3hDs1X552q9yobiJtsbo8R3mcUzx3gBfqxciqZ3kkjZ8reMnFEN9nRvw4467eoknsFmbFe9DJm7 This is just an additional option and does not replace any existing ways of supporting the project. Let’s see what comes out of it, and thanks! #BSDCafe
Two years ago, today I was feeling better and no longer had a fever, but I didn't have much energy. My wife didn't have a fever at that moment, but she had zero energy. It was Christmas Day and we were alone as we didn't want to infect our parents. We decided to take a short drive to the Po River to relax, without getting out of the car. I took this photo as a memory of that moment. By 27th December, I would have a 'brain fog' and dizziness. She had a cough that lasted for a long time. We decided to take a test. I was negative, but I had gotten sick earlier. She was positive. It was our first time having Covid. #Photography #Photo #River #Sunset #ThrowbackThursday #Mist image

Companies are eager to replace engineers with AI. Funny how management and C-suite roles are never part of the experiment. If AI really excels at rational, unbiased decision-making, those positions should be the first on the list.
A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place? The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves. - Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow. - Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong. - Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying. - Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless. - Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you. - Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one. - The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege. - Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life. If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer. And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here. #Fediverse #Mastodon #snac #snac2 #akkoma #pleroma #gotosocial #honk #mitra #SocialNetworks #Lemmy #PeerTube #Misskey #Sharkey
