Fedilab is full of features and unfortunately it suffers from a lack of documentation describing them.
Currently, we don't know how to act with that issue. We don't have resources to write all this documentation.
Asking help is not so easy. We need persons knowing the app and that are familiar with dev (git + Hugo gohugo.io/)
We could create a fundraising for that issue but we will need advice for a such project.
Don't hesitate to share that message, thank you.

What kind of news is that?
A drug addicted, uneducated, mean but rich South African lies about things he doesn't understand. Supported by another strange guy which pretends to be a politician, while being only a Goebbels successor (as President Biden found out).
We definetely need more Mental asylums with closed wards for those.
Otherwise the US may get Luigi Mangione copies, sooner or later.

Sounds promising, but in the long run, this kind of processing power will inevitably disrupt society. Machines will do any task a human being can do, just faster, better and cheaper. The owners of these machines will accumulate all the money, all the land, all the data and all the rights. 99% of humans will have nothing and be utterly useless, with no options left to change anything.
I didn't think this whole AI thing is a terribly clever idea. We are not prepared for this.

The image depicts a character standing in a dynamic pose, holding a rifle in her right hand and a pistol in her left. She is wearing a dark purple dress with red trim and frills, featuring a military-style design with a belt and multiple pockets. The dress has a high collar and a matching hat adorned with a skull emblem. Her long, flowing blonde hair cascades down her back. She is wearing black knee-high boots with lace-up details. The background is a muted gray, with a smoky effect and a patterned ground that resembles cracked stone. The character's stance and the weapons suggest a readiness for action. The image includes a signature in the bottom right corner and a logo in the bottom left corner.
