A week ago, I was hand-picked by the team at MeWe as one of their first MeWe Ambassadors. In this role, I'm going to be focused on growing and promoting MeWe to the world, help any newcomers and take part in campaigns to show off how different our platform actually is. This is amazing timing, too, considering what's going on in the world regarding censorship and invasions of our privacy. I won't pretend that MeWe is the ONLY social platform that resists censorship and protects your privacy; I'm literally posting this on one of the best places for free speech. We're not interested in bad-mouthing competition, we're simply interested in creating an awesome space for people to hang out in parallel with existing people-first platforms and protocols! MeWe is a social network designed to prioritize privacy and authentic online socialization. "Don't leave social media, hit reset". I can speak from first-hand experience that MeWe is one of the closest experiences you can get to the old school, human interactions we used to have before the creation of "Web 2.0". Having recently conducted a migration of the platform's back-end to a specialized blockchain (Frequency) and with all sorts of cool features in the works, it's a place like Nostr that's trying hard to change the way people interact online, by reminding us of what the internet was designed to be. All that being said, I'm not trying to make this sound like an advertisement, just an invitation to check things out or, if you're curious, ask me about MeWe! #mewe #letsmewe #meweambassadors #decentralization #socialmedia image
I'm a latecomer to the AI game but so far, I've found Grok and Perplexity to be the most useful overall. Grok's LLM is advancing exceptionally fast, but Perplexity's formatting is a lot better to my eyes and the way it sources its results is so much more useful. At the moment, Grok is probably my most-used AI, but I use Copilot for general queries (mostly tech-related), Perplexity for anything I need deeper research on, and then I fall back on ChatGPT for anything miscellaneous. That said, I use Brave's Leo for quick page summaries. I also use Venice in the same way I use ChatGPT, but for queries that are slightly less "public friendly". I'm also aiming to test out Proton's Lumo in the near future but when I first tried it, it seemed like it had a little way to go before. Eventually, once my home lab is set up the way I want it to be, I also plan to experiment with self-hosting my own LLMs because that'd definitely be ideal for privacy purposes, but I'm comfortable using the online options for now for generic queries that aren't really private. #ai #artificialintelligence
You know something I've noticed? Once I started using a proper key signer, browser Nostr clients work 1000x better. Previously, I was just using Flamingo and while the UI was nice, something about it must have been buggy because very few web clients ever worked properly. However, once I started using nos2x for the web clients, they all work flawlessly. I'm able to actually use the web version of Nostr without it feeling like pulling teeth... and it's honestly incredible. I type faster on a physical keyboard than on my phone, thus I do the bulk of my social media on my PC. Up until now, that excluded Nostr.
Germany is going to end up repeating history once its citizens lose all their freedoms and their privacy. Eliminating privacy and drastically reducing freedoms is REAL fascism, unlike the buzzword people have turned it into. #privacy #surveillance #freedom
