I’m seeing a massive smear campaign against this AI. Not saying it’s a perfect one, but you can tell the established powers are going after it hard because of how much it’s shaken up the industry.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Premium Login Details Leaked; Users At High Risk 5 days ago:
That tells me they’re not using salted and hashed passwords. How can they still be doing that? Idiots.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 16GB Model Is Now Available at $120 USD 2 weeks ago:
You can get lower models for much cheaper. In fact they now have some in the $5 range. They’re just giving people more choices.
- Comment on If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods? 3 weeks ago:
Federal assistance makes sense. The communities in referring to definitely don’t need assistance
- Comment on If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods? 3 weeks ago:
Thank you. So this is like the weed is legal at a state level but not federal type of things?

- Comment on HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content 3 weeks ago:
You kinda do though. It’s like the difference between Cat5 / Cat5e / Cat6. Physically they all have the same Pinots, but the tolerances vary greatly. Could you get 10Gbps on Cat5? Possibly, but only over short clean distances. You can do it more easily on Cat6, even though they all plug in together. The HDMI cables are the same way.
- Comment on HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content 3 weeks ago:
USB4 uses something called DP-Alt where it’s actually DisplayPort over USB exactly what you’re looking for. I have a portable USB-C monitor that runs powered and video over a single connection
- Comment on HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content 3 weeks ago:
DVI isn’t capable of the bandwidth needed for higher resolutions. Even dual link maxes at about 8 Gbps and 2560x1600 @ 60Hz. This new HDMI spec is 96 Gbps for reference.
Ironically though HDMI is pin compatible with DVI and you could output HDMI to a DVI monitor with just a simple HDMI to DVI cable, or vice versa. I know a lot of people who like DP bit in order to convert you need active circuitry and that can impact quality if you don’t have native DP on both ends.
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 3 weeks ago:
When their Latitude laptop line moved away from the C/D/E lines I knew it was gonna be trouble. They used to have hardware on par with Apple and almost everything in a generation (I.e E-series) was interchangeable and it was easy to work on.
- Comment on Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE? 4 weeks ago:
I just talked with 3 people right at midnight. Did have a problem with one call going through but once connected the quality was fine.

I loved piloting the redeemer under the map, up in their base right to the spawn point.

I heard he’s a foreign operative.

Billionaires and executives need to learn to be afraid of the masses.
- Comment on When this post is 1 hour old, lemm.ee will go down for an upgrade to 0.19.7 2 months ago:
I found this announcement after the fact but explains why I couldn’t access things.
Honestly, I’m never really concerned with downtime on Lemmy.ee, you are so on top of it that if it goes down I know it’ll be up again in a couple hours and gives me a chance to go touch grass.
Thank you for all you do!

That title needs some additional punctuation. Had to read it a few times!

- Comment on Apple faces a new $3.75 billion antitrust lawsuit over iCloud storage 2 months ago:
“Apple does not allow users to back up their data via third-party storage providers.” — don’t know if I agree with that statement. You can back it up locally via iTunes and then sync the folder with whatever provider you want. It’s not as easy but it’s certainly doable. I used to run that way for the longest time before I said fuck it and moved to iCloud.

- Comment on Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows Recall 2 months ago:
So why hasn’t anyone said much about Apple Intelligence? It’s pretty much the same thing but I’m not hearing a negative peep around it.
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 2 months ago:
Had been. But we’re in a post-accountability era for corporations so most likely nothing will happen.
- Comment on A fair proportion of the suffering in the world can be laid at the feet of binary thinking. 2 months ago:
You just proved what I was saying though. The thought doesn’t have to be binary. You have a multitude of choices. But the moment you make an action, that is binary. You either do that specific action or not.
- Comment on A fair proportion of the suffering in the world can be laid at the feet of binary thinking. 2 months ago:
That’s an interesting thought. Thinking doesn’t have to be binary, but ultimately an action is: you either do it or you don’t. There could be 5 possible actions (including inaction) but whichever one you choose is a binary action (you either do it, or you don’t)
- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 3 months ago:
Basically why it’s called MAD (mutually assured destruction). You’ll either get the first shot for free, or everyone kills everyone.
- Comment on [Question for admins] How do you feel about your users requesting content or account removal from other servers. 3 months ago:
Cool cool, now realistically, do you have the time, resources and know how to find and contact every owner of every federated instance these comments have made to? Would you be able to deal with the legal resources of any number of jurisdictions to truly test whether that is actually enforceable?
My point basically is that it’s functionally impossible regardless of what the law says, and you should treat your comments and personal information as such that they won’t ever be able to be deleted or scrubbed.
- Comment on [Question for admins] How do you feel about your users requesting content or account removal from other servers. 3 months ago:
Except that only applies to federated servers that exist in the EU. If your data gets federated out to a country outside of the EU, they don’t have to listen to your whines of GDPR as it’s not enforceable. And given that you could be federated with hundreds of instances across the world, good luck.
I said the same thing with AI scraping. All someone needs is to add their own instance that federates with everyone else and they can scrape data for AI training till their heart’s content.
- Comment on Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images) 3 months ago:
I’d lean towards option 3. I view this site as an aggregator and I see plenty of broken images when scrollling through here. It’s not your job to host or proxy those images and working in infrastructure it lends to a lot lighter weight instance that’s easier for you to manage without having to worry about disk, or even worse, bandwidth costs.
The only way I would see option 2 being more beneficial is if it was truly a temporary cache solution where the image gets pulled in 1 time, served out to all lemm.ee users for a period of time (say 24 hours). This would reduce the chance that you end up rate limited, while allowing users to still see the image served via lemm.ee
The proxy on every request solution just seems poorly implemented to me for the reasons you say.

- Comment on Just finished Doki Doki Literature Club, what a fucking rollercoaster 3 months ago:
I played the original and it was such a trip that I bought Plus when it came out, but haven’t gotten around to playing it because I know the twist and it doesn’t hold the same.
