I don’t pay for them yet, just use the free version for my phone, but Mistral AI seems like and ethical company.

They run a a more lightweight and environmentally friendly model and think they even open-source/weight their models too. I think like 56B parameters instead of like 600b that open ai and antrhopic probably use.

Being a smaller model it’s not as powerful as the big ones, but it’s pretty good!

The cool thing about lemmy is that you can download your data as a JSON file. I think you could upload that to any LLM chat bot and they may be able to do something similar

Not a serious one, but my hot take is that helping people move is fun!

Alot of people complain about it, but think about it. You get to spend quality time with friends or family, get a little exercise, teamwork, and usually at the end of the day you get to share a well-earned meal together

Brave is decent! I struggles with looking g for smaller local results sometimes. Like you really have to specify the town/cities for small businesses and stuff. Which I suppose is good. That probably means it’s not creeping on your location constantly

Seriously though, thanks to all the FOSS developers out there. I try to donate $5 to $20 where I can, but I k ow that far from what they all deserve!

I am also kinda new, but it seems like it leans towards multiple accounts. Some lemmy instances don’t federate, so I have two.

And then it seems like there is a alot of style and content overlapp between pixelfed and mastadon. So I just have a pixelfed account and follow a few folks from Mastond there.

It would be weird to see pixel fed type posts on my lemmy feeds, but I guess that is just how am using it so far

I am also quite new to lemmy. Is there anything like cross posting? Otherwise, maybe you could link your commonity in the comment section of a relevant post
