  • Yes, but it still deserves the question to be asked explicitly. I don’t think most iPhone users looking for a music reccomendation app would assume they’d need to selfhost in order to use an app.

    And again, if as the dev he’s not prepared to set up his own server for use to pass basic testing, it begs the question of what exactly he’s expecting out of his end users and if it’s truly a reasonable ask even if they’re prepared to self host










  • It would help to know what in particular you were trying to post and where (including instance for the more generic communities like music).

    Nine times out of ten when someone posts a complaint this vague it’s because they know it wouldn’t be received well if they were direct about it, so you’re already starting off at a disadvantage here unless you edit that info into your main post.

    Lastly, if you want to just post with very few rules or mods to hold you back, there’s a whole massive network of imageboards for you. 4chan is back up, it didn’t die from the hack a few months ago (for better or worse).





  • Considering there have already been news stories of AI chatbots telling users to kill themselves and feeding into suicidal ideation, it is absolutely not a reliable fact that the AI will not cause further harm.

    Edit: It’s also not just a problem with suicidal ideation. The founder of Business Insider recently wrote a post on his blog about “using AI to generate an AI news room cast”. He openly admits to making comments to the female AI newscaster he created that would definitively be sexual harassment irl. The damn thing complimented him on his directness, reinforcing this creepy asshat being a sex pest to the point that he saw nothing wrong or embarassing about posting about this shit publicly.


  • There’s been a decent amount of discussion online that when you are already in a relationship, you’ve been “vetted” so to speak. Obviously bullshit, as what your current partner may find acceptable can have jack to do with what anyone else finds acceptable. Also, if you have a break up, somehow you’re no longer vetted because clearly you have some problems if you had a break up.

    It’s all pretty/petty bullshit but it’s definitely a thing. Even my clueless ass has noticed it. Women are more comfortable around me now that I’m obviously taken (wedding ring). Not that they weren’t before, but diving into deep/private conversation stuff at a far faster rate. Like I pride myself on being trustworthy and a good listener, but you gotta chill.

    That increased comfort also includes more comfortable to make passes at me. No thanks, wife and I aren’t looking for a third.
