Hey chooms,

on our Mastodon instance we added @[email protected] as an auto-mod almost a year ago.

Recently we added a Misskey/Calckey instance next to our Mastodon instance which has a strong increase of Night City inhabitants.

Since the theming on this instance is a cyberpunk bar, we have added @[email protected] who automatically moderates the instance as much as possible and provides you with drinks.

Unfortunately, there are still some small challenges with our Misskey/Calckey instance. We are in the process of fixing them, so please don't be sad if the instance runs very slowly.

I don’t know if I agree with the characterization that Apollo is a fully direct competitor of Reddit.

Okay, hold on, timeout. You go to the App Store, you type in Reddit, you get two options, right? There’s Apollo. You go to one, it’s my business, and you look at our ads, use our products. That’s 95 percent of our iOS users. The rest go to Apollo, which uses our logo, or something like it, takes our data — for free — and resells it to users making a 100 percent margin. And instead of using our app, they use that app. Is that not competitive?

Whisper, OpenAI's enigmatic speech recognition model, likely honed its skills on ZDF's subtitled videos, a source of knowledge.

Within its code, the cryptic message 'Untertitel im Auftrag des ZDF, 2017' reveals its origins. An echo of silence becomes the very essence of copyright notices.

Hey chooms,

I've come up with a crazy idea and maybe you chooms would like to do it.

We have now built a small-large loyal community around CORTEX IMPLANT and experienced many fun things.

What do you think about the idea, if there is merch for the Meatspace besides our thousands of Fediverse websites?

I was thinking about t-shirts and other stuff you can wear.

We already have logos and other images made for our various networks and these could be perfect to use for t-shirts.

Unfortunately there is one small point which could be taken negatively. Since it is very expensive to pre-produce t-shirts I would solve the whole thing via Redbubble.

I am aware that Redbubble is not perfect. But it offers me a cheap option to offer the t-shirts and has the advantage that it is available almost worldwide. If someone knows an alternative, let me know.

Worldwide shipping and print on demand would be important.
