I think these ideas of decentralization is starting to resonate..

An interesting piece of data from the monthly summary from @StackerNewsFeed that was shared in yesterday's Daily discussion thread is that there were nearly 3X as many new followers added over the month for the @StackerNewsFeed@BitcoinHackers.org Mastodon account than for the @StackerNewsFeed Twitter account.

Where do you upload pictures to post on Stacker News? It seems most common sites (imgur, ...) do not work...

I had issues with imgur thx to my VPN. Imgbb worked fine

Until either image uploads or an embed method for a Link Post that is an image, the (interim) method is to create a Discussion post and then use the markdown for displaying an Image. Described in this post:
Request: Image Posts #51960
There's also a nuance with the upload sites. For a link from a site like Imgur, or Postimages.org, ... the link to the image itself would be what is used. For example, the Imgur link for an upload (e.g., https://imgur.com/a/tcCorJh) won't work, but the link directly to that upload's jpg image (e.g., https://i.imgur.com/NxhUIBJ.jpeg ) will work.

windows 8.1
Good God. I didn't think people still had that.
Ubuntu
Have you considered Zorin?
reply
I refused to upgrade to ten when I had the chance, and honestly have no regret. I got much use out of this device, and I hope to get more use still.
Tell me about Zorin, since you bring it up.

Does anyone know of a way to use ChatGPT through Lightning Login? I don't really want to create an Open AI acc
reply
It's understandable to not want to create an Open AI account, especially knowing that the CEO is also the co-founder of the surveillance network operating as WorldCoin.
This doesn't help with what you are asking, but may be an alternative:

Wasn't Worldcoin the worst of them all, scanning eye balls or something? It has been quite freaky playing around with ChatGPT...
