wow i honestly think about this concept every single day. ive stopped using the phone when i am at home since mostly everything you do in it can be done in a computer, including calls and msg, and also suppressed all non-urgent notifications, plus enabled notifications for the other person to know my device is on sleep so that they dont expect instant reply. it's worked v well so far

@catarinha sorry i changed the subject like that! dephoning isn't going to work for everyone but this is the most workable solution ive been able to come to.

Yeah, i was gonna turn it into an audiobook but i dont know about making 53>< noises as Daffy Duck. i mean, i CAN, but just because you CAN do something doesnt always mean that you SHOULD.

regarding the AI thing gremlin and i have been talking about: it doesn't sound like the Penelope AI is anything more than an analytical engine; sort of an "autocorrect for your code" type of thing. The problem is that KD hasnt said which API Penelope is based on, so there could easily be a corporate datascraper on the other side of it.

I don't know if it is a scraper involved. However the facts of the matter are that Kyle tried at least twice to add "coding assistants" to neocities despite understanding that AI/ML A: Contributes significantly to climate change and B: The neocities crowd is against this kind of stuff, we came here to avoid some the issues that plauge the modern web

C: Kyle has stated on reddit that the plan is only on hold, it could very well still happen

So for the sake of being fair, Kyle acted pretty shady and could have potentially thought about scraping the data or selling it to AI companies to use BUT so far there is no proof of that so thats not what I am saying.

What there is proof of is coding assistants being added to the neocities text editor! These got added under the guise that they help and assist new webdevs HOWEVER the code produced by "coding assistants" is notorious for presenting code that is way more trouble then it's worth. What this will realistically result in is more lower quality web pages that don't function or require more time to fix then code that you-

Anyways no, it's was not just autocorrect. When it was functional you would ask it a question, it would give a response based off that question.

Yeah. I DEFINITELY need to revise my dephoning guide. Whatever phones started out as, now they're just corporate feudal spies that we pay huge companies monthly to keep in our hands.

I got something to share that I recalled when reading your page on NewPipe: I use an app called PipePipe that does pretty much the same thing for Android. I got it via F-Droid, a hub of FOSS applications you can get. There's a big ol reddit post that I recommend taking a gander at. https://np.reddit.com/r/fossdroid/comments/o1gmb8/the_im_new_to_fdroid_starter_pack/

I heard about PipePipe, but NewPipe had the advantage of being the one I tried first. Also, I have something to add about that reddit post...

...This, dear people, is why I have been recommending splitting up your phone into individual devices for the past 5 years. This reddit post describes basically a part-time job, co-ordinating protections for all the surveillance vectors the corporate feudal state have baked into your phone.

so it's pretty clear now that i need to update my entire How To Use A Computer guide for linux mint. i wrote the guide for Windows 7 & 10, but 7 is extinct, 10 is on the way out, and you shouldn't touch 11 with a 39.5' pole. what does that leave? linux mint.

I gotta nuke my mint install as there are a bunch of seemingly unrelated errors that popped up in the last month after a year of smooth going, more guides would be great, it's a good time to get people off of Windows

@nucleardive windows11 is basically as private as a smartphone from what i understand. copilot is a big part of that.

@panshiko the mint help forums are really johnny-on-the-spot. experts basically patrol there waiting for a problem to solve at all times of the day (also i dont want to think my installation is headed for the same fate ._. )

the thing is, it doesn't matter if you find alternatives to every website you use. people with more money than you are personally invested in making sure EVERY site on the internet uses generative AI in some way...

ive got mutuals here who have switched over to nekoweb to get away from generative AI but at this point the only place you can run to get away from AI at all is gopherspace. since half of us are using linux now, that might not be too much of a problem...

but trying to run away from AI anywhere on the HTTP web is futile. it doesn't matter how much against AI a webhost claims to be, eventually they will end up implementing some kind of AI, either to stay current or to solve a problem that they can't afford to hire someone to solve.

I'm still going to be here and talk to people, I just am not using neocities as a webhost because now that I understand what happened and whats still there I feel a moral obligation to do something.

it feels very similar to me to when sites had to use web 2.0 integration to keep up & when we had to switch to smartphones with location services to keep up. not ideal, but i agree there isn't really much we can do if people with money want to use LLMs and the like to make more money. although since NFTs are no longer popular, i like to believe there is a certain threshold of stupidity the general public won't cross

@tower-falls i feel like there's a connection between the fall of NFT and the rise of AI, inasmuch as giant corporations were just starting to adopt NFT when it imploded. now they're committed to not making themselves out to be fools a second time.

@aubery Neocities was A/B testing an AI-based analytics engine called "Penelope" a couple months ago, and now KD wants to implement it across the whole site.

It's just so disappointing to see that become more of a reality. Like, I came here specifically to get away from the AI garbage on the other sites I was using. Like, what the hell?

Is there any official statement on this from him? Did our websites get scraped to train the suggestion bot? Maybe we could create a petition and kindly ask to Not do AI or lose the core userbase? I pay so i can create a sidesite for that
