That probably has more to do with it than anything else. Killing a healthcare CEO is really the type of action that can bring people together, as crazy as that sounds.

That’s a bit my point, both sides are exhibiting the same energy at the moment. I thought Lemmy would be a bit more critical, especially since I figure it’s users are more resistant to rhetoric and blatant manipulation.
At this point, I think even if the shooter came out and publicly declared his ideology, anybody that “guessed” wrong during these last week wouldn’t believe him.
Seems blatant to me, I’m surprised no one seems to be mentioning it.

Thinking this guy is right wing just because his dad is and assuming he “ironically” wrote an anti fascist song lyric on the bullet.
The media mentioned goypher once and everyone jumped on the band wagon without asking any questions.
At least the CIA nipped this Luigi before it could grow.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 1 day ago:
Kind of feels like the right invents their own truth and constantly does mental gymnastics. Now we are doing it? The media talked about goypher for a day and everybody jumped on it.

His family and his friends from what I’ve read. Although everything should be taken with a grain of salt at this point.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk suspect is a gun-loving Trump supporter 3 days ago:
I’m actually convinced now that there is a media campaign painting him as far right so he doesn’t turn into an other luigi.
This is some really shallow “evidence” while everyone that knew him seems to say he was to the left.
I will wait to hear more but this whole gopher thing seems like a ploy.

It’s a large community with many political spectrums amongst their members I think. 4chan was getting 22 million unique monthly visitors in 2022.

I have a feeling it’s easier to put your music out there as an independant artists. There’s always someone taking a cut but the contacts are optional and there isn’t much gate keeping like before.
- Comment on It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now 1 week ago:
I remember that time and it was kind of shit. It was brutal in terms of packaging, and lugging around all those cds sucked. It was way more expensive and the money still all went to record companies, not to mention how terrible it felt to pay full price for a mostly garbage cd just for one song (single existed though but jot for everything).
Records companies also had final say on who we listened too and completely controlled the whole scene essentially.
I get the nostalgia but it was 100% worse both for artists and consumers. Well it has always been rough for artists tbh, but I don’t know if it’s harder right now or not.

It’s also, in the end, a type of video game. You can’t “date” an npc. I really dislike the use of the word.

Windows 11
I do all my gaming on steam deck these days, which means every battlefield except 4 is unplayable. Idk if bf6 would have worked but 2042 did before they turned on their new anti-cheat in an update.

I can only comment on the behavior I see. This is an online forum, I don’t have a choice but to assume.
Regardless, most are very vocal about AI being theft, a line of thinking that directly benefits the copyright lobby and big AI. Big AI doesn’t mind paying for the data if it gives them a monopoly.
The moment a chatbot does something mildly worrisome, like help draft a suicide letter, the conversation is filled with people calling for censorship, protection and regulation. Again, something that would directly benefit big AI.

What you’re doing is falling for propaganda from a long ass time ago by the owner class…
Or using the actual current definition of the word. It’s like going on a rant about hunters when you get called a nimrod.
I’m also going to push back on pretending the current anti-ai movement is against capitalism when it’s pro copyright. Their support is what big AI companies are using to create their monopoly.
This centuries luddites aren’t tearing down machinery but helping build a walled garden.
- Comment on In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses 3 weeks ago:
I should have specified it was an earlier llama model. They have scaled up to more then a flight or two. You are mostly right except for how much a house uses. It’s about 10,500 kW per year, you’re off by a thousand. It uses in an hour about 8 hours of house time, which is still a lot though, specially when you consider musks 1 million gpus.
…medium.com/facebook-disclose-the-carbon-footprin…
Their first model took 2 600 000 kwh, a plane takes about 500 000. The actual napkin math was 5 flights. I had done the math like 2 years ago but yeah, I was mistaken and should have at least specified it was for their first model. Their more recent ones have been a lot more energy intensive I think.

I personally don’t think any of these big companies should be privately owned. Rare win for the pedo admin. Maybe we can get 10% of the epstein files next.
- Comment on In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses 3 weeks ago:
I did some quick math with metas llama model and the training cost was about a flight to Europe’s worth of energy, not a lot when you take in the amount of people that use it compared to the flight.
Whatever you’re imagining as the impact, it’s probably a lot less. AI is much closer to video games then things that are actually a problem for the environment like cars, planes, deep sea fishing, mining, etc. The impact is virtually zero if we had a proper grid based on renewable.

- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 4 weeks ago:
So in 2042, if you had the premium battle pass, you could set up one persistent server. It was hosted by them but didn’t disappear without players. I don’t know how it will work for bf6.
I think the most important feature is that we have persistent lobbies that don’t disband after a game like matchmaking. That they “stay online” while nobody uses it is really not the important part imo.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 4 weeks ago:
Still, DICE insists the Portal browser will satisfy. It does have some qualities that simulate a classic server experience, like how you can earn full XP in Portal matches as long as the house rules closely resemble the vanilla ones.
From the article.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 5 weeks ago:
we should be able to do what we want with it, including running those max player/max ticket servers that run 24/7 on one map.
You can do this because the game let’s you host a server (your rules or official ones) and includes a server browser so random people can find it and join your game.
We should be able to do it without DICE/EA’s permission
You can’t do this because although there is a server browser, you can’t run private servers disconnected from eas infrastructure.
I am correcting OP because most of what he said in his post and what people are repeating in the comments implies that there is only matchmaking and the first part isn’t possible.

90% of the people in the conversation think there will be only matchmaking and nothing else because of how OP framed it.
You want to talk about how you can’t have your own private server completely disconnected for EA, fine. But that doesn’t mean the game has no browser, jfc.

There will have community servers with its own browser. They will have full xp as longg as the rules are close to the official ones.
Matchmaking wont be the only option.
