Nah, that’s just going back to my original point. Why I commented in this thread at all. Some people were acting like Lemmy was dead cause .ml devs were douche bags.
- Comment on PieFed.World is now open 1 day ago:
My point is that .ml is becoming less and less relevant to Lemmy as a whole as time goes on and as more users join the fediverse. New instances are always good but running down perfectly good ones like Lemmy.world is very regressive and that kind of behavior is what I left reddit to get away from.
- Comment on PieFed.World is now open 1 day ago:
Not all instances of Lemmy are run by tankies. Many are run by just Linux enthusiasts.
- Comment on PieFed.World is now open 2 days ago:
I think you have misunderstood something. I do not agree with .ml people(tankies and such). And the issue is whether or not a person can just ignore their rantings and simply enjoy Lemmy.world

But the Chinese government could be spying on you if you bought a Chinese manufactured car!!
P.S. for bonus points, does anyone know where most GM automobiles are currently being manufactured?

I’m quite aware of enshittifacation. And, though the word is new, the concept is not. It was most recently called “planned obsolescence” and I think older folks just called it “trashy new stuff” or something folksy like that. But that’s harder to apply to the amorphous entity that is the Internet and the economy that’s been built around it. Don’t fall for the doomsday cult of “it’s all just going to shit anyway so let’s only care about ourselves”. That’s how we got Baptists, Seventh Day Adventists, and Mormons (among so many others).

There must be something messed up with your Google search cause googling Lemmy gets me Motorhead first and then either lemmy.org or lemmy.world plus some wikipedia explainers, I don’t even see a link to lemmy.ml even after 2 pages of results.

I have not found it hard at all to just ignore the .ml devs and people in general. Why is this such an issue for literally anyone?

How’s that on mobile? Oh, right. It isn’t.
We need real solutions.

Chromium does a lot of heavy lifting to fix problems with websites which enables certain web developers to be lazy.

Yeah, this is part of the new Reaganomics I like to call AIconomics. The goal isn’t to produce a good product, the goal to make something flashy that tech billionaires want to throw cash at. It’s not unlike crypto. Crypto has literally no actual value yet people are shitting money into bitcoins of every type in hopes that one will hit it big. Meanwhile tech billionaires keep minting new ones to entice new suckers every other week. The tech billionaires want you hooked on AI so you’ll give up your private info that they can sell to each other so they can cash in, the software companies are investing their time and resources into making AI LLMs in order to get tech billionaires to give them money. It’s a viscous capitalist circle. Only thing that will stop it is heavy regulation. But with Republicans in charge that will absolutely never happen. Trump practically made his entire cabinet out of billionaires and corporate shills. And too many Democrats gave them the thumb up, so don’t count of Dems doing a whole lot to stall the big tech chokehold on everything either.

AICore under all apps. Disable and delete files. Done.
- Comment on Former and current Microsofties react to the latest layoffs 6 days ago:
You know what the hilarious part is? They are ending support for Win 10 in October which essentially means that the OS will no longer receive security updates. But judging by this blind adoption of AI and the extreme loss of talent at Microsoft, I’m not sure their security will really be worth anything in a couple of years.
I think it may be for the best that I’m using this impetus to migrate to Linux.

- Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans 1 week ago:
CDC data from 2022 indicated that more than one in five U.S. adults under the age of 45 experienced symptoms of mental distress.
Must be the lack of personnel. Couldn’t have anything to do with the global insecurity of rising inflation and low wage jobs coupled with the skyrocketing housing costs. Not to mention the whole "the earth is steadily getting hotter and extreme weather events are happening more and more frequently.
Yeah, let’s invest in more AI that will fuck over the planet even more with colossal energy requirements and not even bother with making people more financially and socially secure.

- Comment on You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning 2 weeks ago:
Yeah a couple of weeks ago Google secretly activated Gemini on every Pixel user’s phone. I ran into the same problem, my phone suddenly activated and Gemini popped up interrupting a song that I was playing while I was away from my phone. Ended up screwing up the song and having it repeat over and over and over.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 3 weeks ago:
I don’t agree with Israel at all. But Iran is a theocratic ethnostate as well. One that has pretty loudly proclaimed that the day they have nuclear weapons is the day before they use one on Israel. There’s nobody out there who’s in a morally high position.
- Comment on Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket 3 weeks ago:
And when SpaceX does it with real full size rockets and they explode scattering debris and chemicals everywhere, the nearby towns pay the price.
I don’t see any towns being decimated by Honda’s approach.
- Comment on Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket 3 weeks ago:
That is not why starship fails. Starship fails because like everything that Elon does lately it emphasizes style over practicality. Starship is a very badly designed rocket that looks cool to Elon. Not unlike the Cyber truck which has been an abject failure in every way possible.
- Comment on Massive internet outage reported: Google services, Cloudflare, Character.AI among dozens of services impacted 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been looking everywhere for somebody to explain it. Like, there are dozens of articles outlining exactly what happened. Which I don’t need because I was there. I know what happened. I just have been wondering why and finally you have provided a link that actually gives me a reason.
So, thank you kind stranger.

Yeah I’m going to make sure I don’t take any new drugs for a few years. As it is I’m probably going to have to forgo vaccinations for a while because dipshit Kennedy has fucked with the vaccination board.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 4 weeks ago:
The problem is that it’s not actually counting anything. It’s simply looking for some text somewhere in its database that relates to that word and the number of R’s in that word. There’s no mechanism within the LLM to actually count things. It is not designed with that function. This is not general AI, this is a Generative Adversarial Network that’s using its vast vast store of text to put words together that sound like they answer the question that was asked.
- Comment on PLASTICMAXXING 4 weeks ago:
Yeah it’ll be like the machine that you find in museums where you put in a quarter and get an injection molded toy hot out of the mold. You just hook your arm up to an IV and it starts extracting your blood and then when it gets enough of the plastic it melts it and pushes it into the mold and spits out a little toy dinosaur.

Just a reminder that the same people who are against free school lunches for children are the ones who stand in front of abortion clinics screaming about how abortion is murder.
