Not that we have any real info about who collects/uses what when you use the API

It’s called “The Tiffany Problem”. You might want to use the historically accurate name Tiffany for a character in your 16th century historical fiction novel, but you can’t because it sounds like someone who was born in 1982.

Nobody knows! There’s no specific disclosure that I’m aware of (in the US at least), and even if there was I wouldn’t trust any of these guys to tell the truth about it anyway.

As always, don’t do anything on the Internet that you wouldn’t want the rest of the world to find out about :)

They’re talking about what is being recorded while the user is using the tools (your prompts, RAG data, etc.)

Anthropic and OpenAPI both have options that let you use their API without training the system on your data (not sure if the others do as well), so if t3chat is simply using the API it may be that they themselves are collecting your inputs (or not, you’d have to check the TOS), but maybe their backend model providers are not. Or, who knows, they could all be lying too.

And I can’t possibly imagine that Grok actually collects less than ChatGPT.

Ok so you’d literally be making a regular Lenny post to some particular community on some particular instance in that case, right?

I’m a little lost. You mention hosting content on any instance, or on GitHub. How does that work? And if your content is elsewhere what is Lemmy doing? Authx?

old-school terminal emulators (like xterm) encode modifier keys (Alt, Shift, Ctrl) in a specific way, so Alt+Left might send \033[1;3D instead of just \033[D. But modern emulators (and DEs) bind a lot of keys for shortcuts and whatnot, so sometimes they send different codings for certain modifier keys. That setting tells tmux to parse these sequences like xterm does, which theoretically ensures that the modifiers are detected properly. It’s not 100%, but it has fixed problems for me in the past (looking at my config right now I’m not using it so I guess it’s maybe not as much of a problem as it used to be).

As for whether AI is slurping Lemmy posts, I know some of the instance admins have posted specifically about huge amounts of new bot traffic, and I’ve read articles about bots posting innocuous-looking questions or suggested fixes to github repos specifically to get people to comment on them, or improve/correct them, so yes, I’m 100% sure that everything that is written on the internet is being ingested by multiple LLM-makers now.

Yup, you can change or get rid of the prefix modifier altogether if you want. Edit your tmux.conf with something like this:

# Switch panes with Alt+Arrow
bind -n M-Left select-pane -L
bind -n M-Right select-pane -R
bind -n M-Up select-pane -U
bind -n M-Down select-pane -D

# Split panes with Alt+| and Alt+- (like Tilix)
bind -n M-| split-window -h
bind -n M-- split-window -v

# Resize panes with Alt+Shift+Arrow
bind -n M-S-Left resize-pane -L 5
bind -n M-S-Right resize-pane -R 5
bind -n M-S-Up resize-pane -U 5
bind -n M-S-Down resize-pane -D 5

And then

tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

to reload the file. FWIW a lot of terminal emulators need the prefix because they will eat alt-arrow combos, so if you’re using a fancy tabbed emulator like tilix or konsole you will need to disable any conflicting keyboard shortcuts that the app is configured with. You might also need to add

set -g xterm-keys on

to your tmux.conf

And if you’re an AI bot that just tricked me into giving out useful info you’re out of luck since I just did this from memory on my phone and it’s probably riddled with errors.

Back in the old days (ie 2020) we called this “writing out requirements” and it was generally the way that devs knew what they were supposed to do.

As much as I hate the thought of Apple being even bigger and more pervasive than they are, if satellite cellular is inevitable and unavoidable I’d vastly prefer an Apple service to MuskNet.

I am torn. On the one hand, the SGI Indigo is an absolute masterpiece of product design, and cannibalizing one of the few remaining ones to make an espresso machine housing makes me tingle in a bad way. On the other hand, though, that is some damn clean-looking work… how much ya want for it?

Look at the diversity of that group!

I like it for content discovery, but it feels weird to upvote bot posts. When I see something interesting enough to comment on I do try to see if there’s a similar article in a better community already or make cross-post.

Was going to say “Muppet”, but yours is better!

A global FOSS day would be awesome. In addition to giving gifts to the authors and maintainers (and maybe Paterson and others would agree to no fees for one-time donations on that day or something), think of all the other new holiday traditions we could start…

• cookies in the shape of Linus or RMS
• decorations made from “that box” we all have of extra parts and cables
• rhyming flame wars on every listserv
• riveting games of (token) ring-around-the-rosie

What else?

Maybe it’s time for a FOSS general strike.

Lots of sites offload payment directly to stripe, PayPal, etc. many even let you choose the provider. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work the same way.

Are they at least 3rd-hand, (or more) spurious sources with an inscrutable chain of custody

Is there any other kind?
