  https://bsky.app/profile/gettoknownature.bsky.social/post/3mr4atarpi22l For anyone who enjoys nature photos and wishes to avoid slop, I highly recommend this thread, and it's very similar to the approach I take. Basically: Look for actual photographers, avoid generic "cute nature" accounts if they don't cite sources properly, and check if the species being published come from a location that makes sense (e.g. all European birds if the photographer is from Europe) I think esp...

  For #Codeberg members: In the wake of finding my software in The Stack I'm going to raise the issue of requiring FLOSS licenses when FLOSS licenses grant access to any use-case, when I (and I suspect other devs) want to be able to use licenses that forbid AI training. The discussion is at https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./Discussion/issues/195, I don't think it's available to non-members. I want to turn it into a formal proposal and don't quite know how.

  #EMFCamp :boost_requested:​ This is a ridiculously long shot but I met someone at camp then met them again the next day (or was it the day after?) and my brain had a ridiculously embarassing DID/faceblindness "do I know you?" moment. A shame because I don't think we ran into each other at camp afterwards 😭. I was the person in a labcoat and glowing cat ears (which I think narrows it down enough to recognise me). Anyway if you are that person please do reach out!

  #AskFedi  I came across a study a while ago which had considerable evidence that LLM autocomplete can shift the views of users without users realising their views have shifted. I want to talk about it in my upcoming essay. I can't find this study; DuckDuckGo and Google Scholar aren't helping. Can anyone help me dig it up?

  Found out that the Slopfree Software Index recently reached 100 stars. Which... wow, I never expected this level of Internet fame :neocat_aww:​. Thank you everyone, for your support!

  @crafters Another question! Any recommendations for artists of #embroidery patterns? Looking to find some interesting patterns for my next project, preferably smaller ones so I can carry my embroidery with me (i.e. ones that fit on 10-20cm wide fabric), and definitely no slop
