  I mean…bro was just giving an opinion man. He didn’t even really say that much originally. I think claiming the “superiority” of something online alot of the times is vibes based. That ain’t necessarily bad though. Are people not allowed to give more generalized or vague opinions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, I feel most people who lost money were doing “options trading”, basically full on gambling/speculation. If you had put that money in an s&p500 index fund, chances of losing money are slim.

  Time for faraday cage phone covers/bags to become popular in these states.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  BUT Imagine if it was open sourced. God, Gods, by the nine, would be heaven.

  I have no mouth, and I must scream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, we should create a society of sorts along the lines of the original Bavarian Illuminati. Crate a decentralized storage network and archive of knowledge and history. Create a list of I portant shit that needs to be archived, and delegate standardized chunks (let’s say 5gb) of data that are to be downloaded by people. Anytime 5 or 10 people have downloaded a chunk, strike it off the list of priority archival and move onto the next chunk. For this to work, needs alot of people though.

  You already can I think? Ollama is something you can install, and then you can set up a webui like sillytavern for roleplays, or some other more fitting ui for whatever you want. Also, Linux is great for projects like these, on windows it’s fucking a pain to set up, Linux it’s easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might help just to subtly edit your comment in a way that make any advice or content you’ve given shittier. Like if you have some sort of tech support comment, just edit it in a way so that the piece of tech support you’ve offered is some standard answer for the problem that doesn’t fix anything. And while you’re at it, move the comment which offers the fix or piece of advice to Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I grew up in the era of Photoshop and people would post fake nudes. Why is it now a big deal that AI is doing it? Kinda like the Taylor Swift thing on twitter.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ehhhh, I like to think that eventually society will adapt to this. When everyone has nudes, nobody has nudes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s good to feel proud of where you work. I’m not too sure on whether or not Intel treats their workers good though, do they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Um…yes I do. If I enjoy the service of one particular waiter, I expect that the tip (at least the majority of it, let’s say around 75-90% if not 100% of it) goes to the waiter who served me. If I’m tipping a cashier, I just give him a few bucks and tell him to pocket it discreetly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d recommend the java version

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay Mad⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s realistic or pragmatic to expect a perfect direct democracy system. Trying to get as close to one as feasibly possible can be a goal though, and once we’re at that point, try to continually and slowly improve that direct democracy system until it’s even closer and closer and closer, ad infinitum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We have to stop ignoring AI’s hallucination problem⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not random, moreso probabilistic, which is almost the same thing granted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To do that effectively, you’d have to make a popular movement for popular big name YouTubers to move away from YouTube and to some other site. Very hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is making a map of methane leaks for the whole world to see⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The article says something about this tech being used to find any leaks that happen so that they can be patched and or used for methane collection. The collected methane can then be sold. Google would probably make money from selling this service to these fossil fuels companies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teen deepfake victim pushes for federal law targeting AI-generated explicit content⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh, I’ve always thought about it like this, making deepfake tech illegal would be like making photoshopping faces on porn images illegal. At the end of the day the technology itself shouldn’t be regulated, the end products themselves should be though. If you Photoshop some kids face onto some nude body, you should be arrested for possession regardless if it was “real” or not. The same should go for deepfake porn exploiting children.

  However I see very little wrong with some guy photoshopping adult celeb or “friends” faces onto nude model bodies, same for those who do it with deepfake tech, just don’t distribute it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most Sophisticated iPhone Hack Ever Exploited Apple's Hidden Hardware Feature⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can often be more important to inform apple users of attacks and exploits because android users aren’t often under the illusion that they’re immune from such happenings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work placement rewards om 2044⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I think it’s because there’s a lot of people out there who have some conspiracy concerning the “elites” of our society promoting some sorta “humiliating” and or “disgusting” thing for the lower class, while they make all the “actual food” expensive and can dine and wine in luxury, whilst they simultaneously use that as an excuse for feeling superior to the lower class. Imagine some rich fuck using “bugeater” as an insult pertaining to one’s class.

  Don’t get me wrong, eating bugs is something good overall for humanity. There’s just a lot of problems in trying to make it palatable for both the upper and lower classes right now.
