- Comment on Kyutai is a French AI research lab with a $330 million budget that will make everything open source 11 months ago:
The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn’t get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?
Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).
There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.
- Comment on It is 'nearly unavoidable' that AI will cause a financial crash within a decade, SEC head says 1 year ago:
If they haven’t done all this until now, what makes you think they’ll do it then?
The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.

Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?

But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we’ll discuss it then

I’m glad that you’ll never reproduce at least
- Comment on France VPNs might be banned amid SREN Bill's new "unreasonable amendments" 1 year ago:
Any remote login happens via VPN.
I don’t support this, but you don’t need VPNs for remote logins. SSH exists, it’s just that VPNs are a better solution for companies among other things.

It represents your partial ownership of the company and property
- Comment on Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately 1 year ago:
The only way this can be done in a capitalist way, is by distributing exactly one company share for every employee that’s not tradeable at all, flattening the hierarchy completely, and making every decision in a direct democratic way.
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
Obviously the wise and good colonizers, that know what’s best for everyone everywhere
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
While the bright and “civilized” Europeans were in the dark ages, the Middle East took our science and continued it, saving it from disappearing entirely.
You can believe in the barbarian narrative about them if that makes you feel better about your national history, but it’s entirely untrue.
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
It is therapeutic to hear the words of reason at times like these were irrational uneducated “opinions” are flung around more than ever.
World history should be mandatory in every country and tested exhaustively. Kids are able to consume the information, as long as they’re not forced to remember the absolutely useless information of it and focus on the actual point of learning history instead.
Of course it’s not to the benefit of individual countries for its citizens to be fully educated, especially when their history consists of taking advantage of the whole world and causing way more misery than the one they’re accusing others of.
More importantly, people should take the initiative to self educate and read books in their spare time. It’s hard and time consuming, but your opinion honestly doesn’t matter much when you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about and yet feel fully confident about it.
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
Please educate yourself, you’re embarrassing yourself and your people.
The US is just as propagandized as Russia and China and it shows.

Maybe you just haven’t found interesting people to follow, my content is way different
- Comment on Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram 1 year ago:
The ads are not the main problem, the main problem is how the “personal ads” are chosen by harvesting and sharing all your private data.
A tracker blocker is a more suitable solution along with the ad blocker.

Remind me, was Marx a part of the struggling proletariat?
The answer is no, he was a human being that cared about others besides him and his own.

- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Where can you? Every platform has a bias, this is just one of the rare ones that have a left one. You can still listen to what people have to say and use your brain to figure out what part is objective and what is subjective.
Another nice thing here compared to other platforms is that most people here offer some more serious input and care more about politics and the world, compared to normie platforms where every dumbass mindlessly repeat their propaganda.
- Comment on BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them 1 year ago:
I actually am, usually companies force their shit down the consumers throats and they happily gulp it down, buying their new products when they come out as well. This is a pleasant surprise to me
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
You could probably find an instance that’s dedicated to this
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
I disagree with karma as a concept, but I agree that there should be restrictions of this kind in place. It’s not user friendly, but if it minimizes the chance of someone uploading sick stuff on Lemmy then I support it.
- Comment on Two men exonerated after 30 years in prison by retrocomputing enthusiasts and the Bloop Museum, by extracting data from a damaged floppy disc. 1 year ago:
Rapists should be locked up for life, not 30 years and definitely not 6 months. Given of course that there’s actual concrete evidence for it.

What kind of work do you do that you can’t measure work done by the actual amount of work done?

- Comment on Image uploads are now disabled on lemm.ee due to malicious users 1 year ago:
This is a very good decision, I worried about this problem from the very beginning that I learned about the Fediverse. Research must definitely be done to find CSAM detection tools that integrate into Lemmy, perhaps we could make a separate bridge repo that integrates a tool like that easily into the codebase.
I hope every disgusting creature that uploads that shit gets locked up

I really like Kotlin, I would much prefer using it at work instead of Java
