I’m already not a big fan of Windows 10 so if Microsoft tries to force to download Windows 11 I’m just gonna switch to Linux
- Comment on evangelism 2 weeks ago:
As someone who studied CS at uni for 3 years I saw first-hand how there’s plenty of idiots in this field. Two of my classmates identified as Nazis and thought that the holocaust didn’t happen, besides a significant chunk leaning to the right more generally.
There’s plenty of really smart people working in the field of AI, but there’s also plenty of people who just think they’re smart.

I’ve always liked Kbin’s design and funcionality more than Lemmy, but the latter is more popular and sometimes posts/comments won’t load properly on Kbin, so I’ve stuck with Lemmy for now.

- Comment on BitTorrent is No Longer the ‘King’ of Upstream Internet Traffic 1 month ago:
In early 2019 bittorrent’s website views fluctuated between ~6M to ~9M. Now it’s around 3M to 4M.
In early 2019 utorrent’s visits fluctuated between ~26M to ~75M. Now it sits around 25M to 21M.
The fact that there were far more captures in early 2019 for both of them might be an indication that this was their peak, and while visits have reduced since then they’re far from dying.
Streaming services may be part of the reason, though I also think it’s because many games and software have switched to freemium & microtransactions, so you can use them without spending money if you want, along with the fact that free and open source alternatives to mainstream software have become more robust and popular. When I was a kid I torrented Sony Vegas, but now that’s simply not necessary since we have DaVinci Resolve.

Mercedez also better support implementing UBI so that these workers who willlose their jobs to automation don’t starve to death.

- Comment on Bluesky is now open for anyone to join | TechCrunch 3 months ago:
According to Similarweb the number of visitors has been going down recently, which might be part of the reason for opening up public sign-ups.
But I also posted my invite codes to a bunch of Discord servers a while ago and still nobody joined, so I definitely question how much of an impact this will actually have.
- Comment on RTX 4070 Super launch day sales are rumored to be a ‘disaster’ – what’s going on with Nvidia’s new GPU? 3 months ago:
As someone who really doesn’t care much for game graphics I feel that a comment I wrote a few months ago also fits here:
I’ve never really cared much about graphics in video games, and a game can still be great with even the simplest of graphics - see the Faith series, for example. Interesting story and still has some good scares despite the 8-bit graphics.
To me many of these games with retro aesthetics (either because they’re actually retro or the dev decided to go with a retro style) don’t really feel dated, but rather nostalgic and charming in their own special way.
And many other people also don’t seem to care much about graphics. Minecraft and Roblox are very popular despite having very simplistic graphics, and every now and then a new gameplay video about some horror game with a retro aesthetic will pop up on my recommended, and so far I’ve never seen anyone complain about the graphics, only compliments about them being interesting, nostalgic and charming.
Also I have a potato PC, and it can’t run these modern 8K FPS games anyway, so having these games with simpler graphics that I can actually run is nice. But maybe that’s just me.
- Comment on Is "If A then B" equal to "B if and only if A"? 3 months ago:
An example of why this is wrong.
If a card is the ace of spades, it is black.
A card is black if and only if it is the ace of spades.
There are other conditions under which B (a card is black) can happen, so the second statement is not true.
A conclusion that would be correct is “If a card is not black, it is not the ace of spades.”. The condition is that if A is true B will also be true, So if B is false we can be sure that A is false as well - i.e. “If not B, not A”.

- Comment on Tesla boosts pay for U.S. factory workers as UAW momentum builds 4 months ago:
Literally. From a [report] by the Treasury Department:
Unionization also has spillover effects that extend well beyond union workers. Competition means workers at nonunionized firms see increased wages too. Heightened workplace safety norms can pull up whole industries. Union members improve their communities through heightened civic engagement; they are more likely to vote, donate to charity, and participate in a neighborhood project. And, the higher pay and job security of both union and nonunion middle-class workers can further spill over to their families and communities through more stable housing, more investment in education, and other channels.

Image-to-image also helps a lot with SD. Even some roughly-drawn blobs can be the difference between the image almost matching what you had in mind vs. looking exactly how you intended it to.
