- Comment on This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X 3 days ago:
…the only way this would have fought them was before the election, now they’re in the walls, that is palliative care.
- Comment on Intel is a security risk for China, says influential industry group. 3 weeks ago:
Good, I was starting to think it was only China spying on everyone :D

Now imagine Newton being shown quantum mechanics…🥲

Jumping spiders are the tigers of the insect world. They jump, they stare, they are cute, furry and pettable…so long as you are at least twice as large.
- Comment on Climate scientists flee Twitter as hostility surges 2 months ago:
Twitter’s format feels a bit like yelling into the void and waiting for replies…you may luck out and get some engagement from a hub or a small subgraph of the network. Mastodon makes that stronger by removing the algorithm (I’d like there to be a user-customizable feed sort algo by an array of parameters, not sure what the technical limitations to that are: processing, security?)
Comment trees feel better (to me at least), because there is a hierarchical origin, a native indexing by topic>post>comment>countercomment…it sort of resembles how we relate with the world or navigate maps.

That’s one of the things I love in lemmy. Transparency of moderation.

Hey, neocities is pretty good, I think I’ll try to use chatgpt to get some boilerplate site running and then keep adding to it :)
- Comment on European Commission cuts funding support for Free Software projects 2 months ago:
Is it as vague as “funds for AI” or cloud computing capacity to compete with China and the US? Because we could use that in the EU. I just don’t know who would be operating it. Universities?

Ok, apparently it wasn’t as gradual as I thought, there was a determining moment in 93-94 with Netscape and HTTPS that made secure transactions possible for e-commerce.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
I want the internet to be a network of digital libraries…communication and sharing space…personal pages…services…the commercial motive starts from there and eventually consumes the rest :/

Google owes me nothing indeed, that’s why I don’t pay.

What do you use for that, fetch the transcript and just feed it to the LLM of your choice?

I miss those cheeky gif banners from the 2000s

One of the reasons electric cars were able to outcompete ICE-specialized companies is because they undercut on all sorts of nice to haves like buttons and pieces that they forgo by using a screen, wifi, updates, beta testing.
But they don’t pass on those cost savings to you. They are even sold as luxury products. They even take the carbon credits. That’s bullshit if you are serious about mainstream adoption.

And can a car you rooted pass periodic inspection?
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
Is that what they are trying to do? Push crap ads and try to kill adblock to get them to pay for another subscription?
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
The other day I visited youtube without any add-ons and concluded I’d rather do anything else than use youtube under those conditions.
- Comment on Google is no longer asking — feed the AI or you’re not in search results 2 months ago:
Yeah, it’s not just e.g. water that is the utility, pipes and pumping stations are part of it.

It’s really interesting, I hadn’t tried this in a long long time. Some sites are simply broken, others drag themselves along, but lemmy seems to be doing alright weheee

It works 🫡

While the web is looked at as a superstore rather than a library, function will dictate form.

Anybody know why google has a popup on every major website now? And more importantly, how to get rid of that without creating an account?
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 2 months ago:
A human can live their whole life without ever interacting with an Apple product by mistake. I’m not sure about that for android/google/adsense/maps/youtube. It takes a conscious effort to avoid these guys and I’m still not completely free from it.
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 2 months ago:
lol, no :) I tried
the place is there, but it looks blocked to me, maybe it’s a region thing.

Yea! OSM is the Wikipedia of maps.
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 2 months ago:
If you swapped most people from google into DDG, most would hardly notice, I venture. Mapping is different.
- Comment on Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report 2 months ago:
Almost as hard as picking a lemmy server :D
