A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

You're not getting downvoted for the LLM thing. You're getting downvoted for doubling down on a stupid argument. Em dashes -- and en dashes for that matter -- have legitimate uses in the English language. One symptom does not make a diagnosis. English is barely a respectable language in the first place. Dumbing it down even further to satisfy your preconceptions is, simply, stupid.

"One symptom does not make a diagnosis."

Read what I wrote again, slowly. Ask ChatGPT to summarize if you need to: "However, ChatGPT uses it excessively and so now it is a sign of its writing. Practically speaking you should avoid it in your future writing, since no one really cares if it is a false positive or not."

Anti-intellectualism as a defence. Nice. Abandon grammar and take language where an LLM can't follow. Surely we'll be able to tell a text written by a human from one written by a machine if the human writes it like a dumbass, I can't see anything wrong with that. i mean why even use proper punctuation and capitalization an ai wouldnt write sumthin like dis isnnnt it better you can tell a human wrote dis

Have I made my point?

Anti-intellectualism... lol?

Anyways if you go back to my original comment, you'll see that my original Javascript comments were written as advice towards prospective blog / site owners, in an attempt to get them to create something UX friendly. My comments on LLM are an extension of that: if you use AI (or write closely to AI) to write your blog you'll just shake your readers' confidence.

I have no idea where you got anti-intellectualism from, you'll have to show me the hat you pulled that from sometime. That said you can substitute em dashes, they don't hold dominion over the English language lol

Edit: Oh you edited your comment without putting an Edit line. The above was a reply to your original comment. I'm not changing mine

Also weird:

  • Claims anti-intellectualism
  • Gives slippery slope reasoning

Again, can't make this up
