- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 7 hours ago:
The problem is that a reduction in trust correlates to a reduction in users. A reduction in Firefox increases Chromium’s dominance on the web, which is a near monopoly already. A monopoly on web renderers in turn is bad for open web standards.
- Comment on What the average maga dweeb look like 2 days ago:
Conservatives in the US think your only a Nazi if you live in the Nazi region of Germany. Otherwise you’re just a sparkling conservative.
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 3 days ago:
Citation for there never being a Steam Deck 2?
Because the interview at CES 2025 heavily implied it: youtu.be/UI-C-nZnDE8?t=525
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 4 days ago:
I agree that those are reasons people give for their reasoning, but if history has shown anything, we know people change their minds when it becomes most convenient to use a technology.
Human ethics is highly dependent on convenience, unfortunately.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 4 days ago:
Right, I’m just saying that this has happened before to the definitions of AI.
- Comment on How to get people to use Mastodon? 4 days ago:
Agreed on all counts, except that rebrands rarely succeed without boatloads of cash behind them. And even then not always.
I’ve heard (and experienced to a certain extent) that a rebrand is a sign of the beginning of the end for a product.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 4 days ago:
It’s all virtue signaling. If it’s good, nobody will be able to notice anyway and they’ll want it regardless. The only reason people shit on AI currently is because expert humans are still far better than it.
We’re just at that awkward point in time where AI is better than the random joe but worse than experts.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 4 days ago:
Ah but remember that AI no longer means the what it has meant since the dawn of computing, it now means “I don’t understand the algorithm, therefore it’s AI”.
Hell, AI used to mean mundane things like A* pathfinding, which is in like, every game ever.
I’m really tired of the shift in what AI means.
- Comment on Apple Pulls Encrypted iCloud Security Feature in UK Amid Government Backdoor Demands 1 week ago:
Sounds like it’s time to leak a bunch of politician nudes to show them why encryption matters.
- Comment on Microsoft hypes another generative AI model but doesn't really explain how it'll help [game] developers 1 week ago:
Okay but these models are actually pretty interesting when you dive in. Useful yet? Not by a long shot (I’m guessing decades, not years of work). But interesting nonetheless.
- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 1 week ago:
Blood from crushed orphans is up 300% this year! 📈
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
Bring a shitty person is multidisciplinary, apparently.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code 1 week ago:
And let’s be honest, a certain percentage of junior devs never do learn. That’s always been the case, AI or not.
- Comment on How important is flirting within the dating scene? 1 week ago:
Yeah that’s a decent way to start. Giving compliments is a great way to flirt! Saying something like “That was a great conversation, you’re easy to talk to” might even be a bit more flirty without putting yourself that much further out.
- Comment on We could be going towards Star Trek like earth, but instead we're going for Star Wars like democracies 2 weeks ago:
Star Trek’s WWIII happened from 2026-2053, I believe. So we’re still on track.
- Comment on Haddam Miku 2 weeks ago:
Thank god they didn’t forget the spring onion.
- Comment on Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again 2 weeks ago:
The thing I miss most from Reddit is all the niche technical communities. So much knowledge is contained in those.
- Comment on DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong). 2 weeks ago:
The open paper they published details the algorithms and techniques used to train it, and it’s been replicated by researchers already.
- Comment on Britain Orders Apple to Build a Backdoor Into Your iPhone 3 weeks ago:
The problem about a backdoor is anyone can get into it. If you need evidence, please see above.
- Comment on DeepSeek iOS app sends data unencrypted to ByteDance-controlled servers 3 weeks ago:
It’s trivial compared to the compute they dedicate to AI models. Like, not even a rounding error.
- Comment on DeepSeek iOS app sends data unencrypted to ByteDance-controlled servers 3 weeks ago:
The hell? There’s no reason to use plain HTTP instead of HTTPS.
And symmetric encryption is wildly irresponsible as well.
- Comment on How JavaScript Overuse Ruined the Web 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I was being a little sarcastic. I agree that using a single lightweight framework is ideal.
Runtime js for rendering your page is still bad for performance of course. Best to use static html where possible.
- Comment on How JavaScript Overuse Ruined the Web 3 weeks ago:
I got bad news for you… htmx is written in JavaScript.
- Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated 3 weeks ago:
Except bureaucrats, of course.
- Comment on TV Anime "GRAND BLUE Season 2" is scheduled for 2025 broadcasting 3 weeks ago:
What? I never thought this day would come.
- Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated 3 weeks ago:
I did not know that. There’s a bunch of news articles going around claiming that even the creators of the models don’t understand them and that they are some sort of unfathomable magic black box. I assumed you were propagating that myth, but I was clearly mistaken.
- Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated 3 weeks ago:
“Your family” isn’t who I was talking about. Researchers and people in the space understand how LLMs work in intricate detail.
Unless your “no one” was colloquial, then yes, I totally agree with you! Practically no one understands how they work.
- Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated 3 weeks ago:
No one understands how LLMs work, not even on a basic level.
Well that’s just false.
- Comment on The new trailer for sandbox strategy game Antimatter shows off the epic scale 4 weeks ago:
Man that trailer shows like 3 or 4 wildly inconsistent art styles in the game. What’s going on?
- Comment on New Zealand eases visa rules for 'digital nomads' to boost tourism 4 weeks ago:
All the digital nomads in NZ already do this. It’s not like the government watches what you’re doing on your laptop while you’re in the country.
