Missed opportunity to add a trackpoint.

of course lemmy.megaloser is here combing through my history of posts to defend authoritarians. Go away troll.

This is kinda stupid. The centers shouldn’t be stopped but taxed appropriately.

We will never need less energy in compute period. So it makes no sense to artificially limit it, instead it needs to be priced to the point where it’s net positive for environment rather than net negative and if any industry has the incentives and money for this it’s tech.

It’s absolutely possible to remain just and free while being secure. Skill issue.

Maybe read it again?

Or you can be smart and just and have your cake and eat it too. See dozens of countries that prosper without sacrificing their freedoms and justice. You guys are just doomer losers simping for dictators because your minds are too small to imagine a real victory.

Not even going to reply to your strawman. I said that it’s weak mentality to say “ends justify the means and sacrifice justice and freedom for the sake of fighting a foreign oppressor” - maybe that’s easier to understand? Weak people, weak minds, skill issue.

What a loser-ass mentality. It’s absolutely possible to remain just and free while being secure. Skill issue.

Agree, communism is fundamentally susceptible to corruption and power grabs. It’s an inept system despite noble ethical goals.

So AI controlled photoshop is ok?

I think the standard is set on wrong metric. Slop is slop and it doesnt matter how ot was brewed be it asset steal or lazy ai

Good point tho if the bubble does end up popping it’ll bring down ram price as the market will be flooded with hardware from closed/reduced farms. But I guess we’ll have bigger issues preventing us enjoying the discounts lol

People are panicking but market will correct itself. RAM is basically a solved technology and supply is limited by lack of factories not ability to manufacture.

So did Taiwan, Eastern Europe and dozens of other countries without sacrificing human rights as much as China. So tired of “they’re evil but hey that’s the only way to not be poor!” bullshit that validates dictators.

Expected better from The Guardian than to use this bait to illustrate US’ shortcomings. The world does not revolve around US and to poke america you don’t need to validate dictators.

I really don’t understand the point of packs when Mastodon has hashtag follows. Mastodon is already winning in terms of discovery here and in fact I still don’t use Bluesky because its impossible to discover content there.

On Bluesky you get a pack of people but in linear timelines the power spammers just take over and then you have to do all that personal curation anyway but it’s often even a worse starting point than just blank slate. With hashtag following I just subscribe to #fediverse and discover new content and creators organically.

Instead I’d like to see Mastodon commit more to organic discovery rather than consolidation of power users by expanding post classification system like using AI classification that attaches topic hashtags to posts etc to help users discover content they actually want to see not follow personalities.

Sorry dude just tired of this defeatism online and even if voting with your wallet doesn’t work we never collectively manage to even test it. Just exhausting. Maybe youre right maybe it doesn’t work and it’s stupid but the bigger point is that people just don’t put effort into it.

are these other forms in the room with us?

Where was that again?

You’re a dev and use PWAs on ios and don’t know that you can’t even get push notifications? There’s no web bluetooth, no web nfc, no background sync, 50-100mb storage limit, no background processes, no service workers. These are all standard features that apple refuses to implement for some reason. Wonder why.

ah good ol Cynicism. Might as well find yourself a giant pot to live in while they’re still available!

Defeatist subservient take

Except PWAs are heavily limited on apple devices so Apple could get that 30% cut.
