Again, oh no, who could have possibly predicted this, except for everybody who said they didn’t make any changes after the last time.

Hot take, all apps look the same now.

“And you can too!”
- Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? 2 weeks ago:
The sad truth is that this is exactly the answer. Rich people have more power by virtue of being rich.

- Comment on New largest prime number discovered by former Nvidia software engineer 3 weeks ago:
This is the first such prime that was discovered using GPU cloud computing. It’s not just an incredible new discovery, but also a demonstration of what this type of hardware network may be capable.

Following this thread because I think it’s one of the very interesting unanswered questions about federation.

- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 3 weeks ago:
It’s a very stable, reliable, local, cross-platform file syncing that is pretty easy to set up. Basically, it allows you to have a shared folder (or folders) on multiple devices without using Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud, etc.
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 3 weeks ago:
Oh No! This is terrible news. This IMHO is one of the most irreplaceable projects out there. I don’t know of another cross-platform local file syncing app that comes anywhere close to this. I hope that it can continue even if it’s not through the Play Store.
Google seems to be torpedoing open source developments with a number of decisions lately. Maybe they see F-Droid as a threat now that EU is making them open competition? Maybe they just don’t care.

If your bank account gets low enough, spontaneity goes back up.

Of all the days to leave my lightning bolts at the cleaners!
- Comment on Would you trust AI to scan your genitals for STIs? 1 month ago:
Short answer, yes.
Finding complex patterns in noisy data is an application that AI is actually well suited for. It still requires human follow-up. Anyway, human experts make mistakes in these areas as well. There is a good chance that a well designed AI could be more accurate.

Hey, there’s particles, they are accelerating. You got what you paid for.
- Comment on Why is space 2 dimensional? 1 month ago:
It’s a common shape in the universe: large spherical mass in the center, plane of objects rotating around it.
Imagine a new object orbiting Saturn in a random direction. At some point (two, actually), it will cross the plane of the rings. Eventually it will crash into an object. The average of the impact will be closer to the plane. Eventually, it will either align with the plane or its orbit will be unstable.

I just can’t take all this free speech that’s happening right now
- Comment on Spike In Removed Google Reviews On September 17th. 1 month ago:
What does this mean? Does this mean they’re trying to do something like Yelp and hold those reviews hostage?
- Comment on Proposal to create a collective to own the topic-based Lemmy instances 1 month ago:
I think there may be a challenge or challenges that you haven’t pinned down yet. First is: what problem does this solve?
Second is, how will people know that they are housed under the same roof, so to speak? A small instance dedicated to NBA basketball may be interesting, but if it seems disconnected then people would be wary. Small specialty instances can be shut down without warning for all sort if reasons.A consortium of instances may help with this issue, as long as it is immediately clear through common branding that they are part if the same group.
Third is that different communities have different needs.

- Comment on Ukraine Bans Telegram Use For State, Military Officials. 1 month ago:
The data is not centralized in the same way, making it slightly better, but yeah. A lot of the same pitfalls of centralization happen there. The whole system doesn’t operate without the corporate servers in the middle, even though they don’t see or store the data. They have total access to Metadata. The organization could be sold for profit, shut down, change terms, etc.
If security is important, you’re better off with something decentralized like matrix. I’m not an expert, so hopefully, a lot of people here who are smarter than me will fact check these statements, but at least those are my impressions.

- Comment on Ukraine Bans Telegram Use For State, Military Officials. 1 month ago:
Wait, the centralized service that security experts warned for years could be easily compromised because a centralized messaging service is inherently insecure has now been compromised? Surprised Pikachu face
