- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 3 weeks ago:
Yeah… I used to sell Apple gear.
When Apple announced the Mighty mouse 20 years ago, everyone was super excited. There wasn’t much info, and we were almost wondering if it was a touch sensitive button on it.
What we got though was a mouse which gave you RSI any time you clicked the right button.
Now, I have a Mac Studio. Every PC has the power button on the top or front. This guy? Nah, lets put it on the back! And the M2 is a professional machine, so lets ship with 8GB ram only… And MAKE IT SHARED VIDEO MEMORY!

Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow

They can. There was that court case where the cases cited were made up by chatgpt. Upon investigation it was discovered it was all made up and the lawyer got into deep crap

Yep. I hate clickbait. You’re a legend

Of course it has. It says everything you need to know
Maybe they should be investigated for all the child porn they used to host

- Comment on Amazon, Tesla and Meta among world’s top companies undermining democracy – report 1 month ago:
Facebook definitely is.
My post on the weekend telling people where I was travelling to ensure if I disappeared they’d know where to find me for deleted for cybersecurity reasons
Yet, I regularly report abuse, bullying, porn, etc and the AI moderation never sees any issues
And every single post there now is:
Lol 😂 . .
Repost repost…I am an obvious bot. Often I am a stupid car meme mocking EVs and solar, etc

Yeah… Please can he do the same here in Australia
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB 1 month ago:
Yeah. That was admittedly the big issue with Australia. With VFR it was useless unless we used Orbx in the days

That’s not really odd. It likely caches decompressed assets and such.
- Comment on stop 2 months ago:
A bunch of vegans said they feed their pets only vegan food, whilst they are carnivores. Mod stopped the conv to prevent animal abuse.
Some Vegans got angry.
I agree with mods, last thing we need here are echo chambers for dangerous information
- Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable 2 months ago:
Yeah. Last thing I want is to deal with all the anti-environment, pro-extremist right wing shit bots.
Quality, not quantity. With too many people, moderation begins to fail
- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 2 months ago:
It’s pretty much copying lol. It has no idea about patents, or unique ideas. It basically just takes every unique idea and pretends it invented them because it doesn’t understand
And that’s the problem
It’s basically just something that tries to take credit for everything.
- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 2 months ago:
This isn’t college.
And that’s not how AI works.
AI literally just copies bits of lots of sources and cobbles it together.
It has no idea what any of it means. We learn via experience. AI models won’t
If I write a reference book, I need to reference my source if I’m quoting things. Even if I saw it in 2 different books .
AI does not
Question… if there is only 1 source of information on a topic, and AI needs to reference it, what happens? It basically just copies it and changes a few words. No reference to the original author. It doesn’t even know.
If I read a book into a podcast and change a few words, take credit and don’t give any to the original author is that ok?
It’s not AI. That’s a marketing term like blockchain. Its just a combined data scraper with some random data.
- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 2 months ago:
Pretty much. It’s just weird this whole thread Feels like it was written by a marketing person.
Developers used to get hounded for blockchain by sales people.
Now the same people have moved to AI. Companies love it mainly because they can steal work, summarise it a bit, and profit
- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 2 months ago:
As others have said, it isn’t inspired always, sometimes it literally just copies stuff.
This feels like it was written by someone who invested their money in AI companies because they’re worried about their stocks
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
That doesn’t mean she supports it. There’s evidence that even with Biden there were things potentially happening in the background to try to stop it. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-03/…/103926614
Trump literally asked Russia publicly to find dirt on Hillary to win and praises dictators constantly.Kamala isn’t praising dictators.
If Trump went to court for every crime he committed, he would have no time to campaign. In fact, with lawsuits they likely have to compress them and limit the contents to the worst offenders to facilitate their processing time.
You haven’t heard even a small number of crimes that Mafia don has committed. But a guy who goes and laughs on social media when one of his followers attacked pelosis husband obviously supports assault.
So just to clarify, Trump = actual criminal who uses violence to gain power Kamala = normal person
You’re also assuming that Trump will end the war. He won’t. He’ll do what he normally does and just shout at both parties
Walz in particular is ex military and I seriously doubt he is pro war either. There might be stuff happening in the background again we don’t know about (Trump will brag in public about every single thing he does, but sometimes you need to let the adults work)
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
I keep seeing the same bozos say they’re the same
One is literally a criminal rapist who has made tens of thousands of public lies, doesn’t pay contractors, and said obvious non sensensical stuff during covid leading to mass deaths and whose own ex staff warns he is an asshole.
The other is a normal person you could probably eat lunch with. She’s absolutely normal.
- Comment on PM warns of 'consequences' as thousands of CFMEU workers march across Australia 2 months ago:
CFMEU on-site have always been bullies.
I know people who put stickers on their hard hats to avoid getting bullied
They’re not really about the workers honestly.
I got told off onsite by CFMEU for the stupidest things, that were clearly just them swinging their dicks around so I knew they were in charge
- Comment on Climate scientists flee Twitter as hostility surges 2 months ago:
Tobacco companies still are… look at vaping (vaping companies literally sell to kids over the Internet and people literally are arguing it’s safe and healthy)
Which unfortunately shows that people are stupid and don’t learn
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
Again, you do realise Mono was started by the same guy who founded Gnome right?
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
What people don’t realize, is that Miguel de Icaza actually started gnome and mono.
Xamarin got acquired by Microsoft.
I’m so tired of watching the community crap on every company which donates open source (I’ve been watching for 25 years at least now). Even Redhat which basically is a major factor to the survival of Linux is getting crapped on. Systemd developers, etc.
If people are genuinely interested in Linux growing, they need a positive community. Because developers like myself mostly stopped providing free code (as a hobbyist developer) because whilst finding help is difficult, it’s not hard to find people willing to abuse you and your projects unfortunately
Even the VLC developers can’t escape the abuse
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
The guy who started mono also started gnome you realize.
More likely he influenced this decision
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
Mate. I don’t even use Windows anymore lol
And I started a few open source projects and contributed to a lot of them.
This is why Linux still isn’t gaining market share because for 25 years I’ve been watching the community scare off developers and treat them like crap. It happens constantly.
You’re not giving anyone any incentive to assist
In all likelihood they donated this code because it doesn’t benefit them anymore or became a burden. The developers aren’t sitting there thinking “mmm, this is gonna make us so popular”.
Did you know the guy who stayed mono is actually the guy who started gnome? They got acquired by Microsoft.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
How does this help open source?
I’m not sure how the community has grown to be so toxic recently that it becomes risky to release a product as open source, and we’re losing opportunities. This has huge benefits to projects like wine
Are you guys suggesting they should retract the offer and close source everything?
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
It doesn’t mean there is some evil plan either 😂
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 2 months ago:
I agree actually. They’re not giving ANYONE incentive to donate to open source, and that mirrors my own experience where the community were asses to me too for my own project (which got lots of publicity including international print media, frontpage slashdot, etc. But after putting up with trolls telling me to do it a different way and calling it crap I dumped it. Fortunately a major distro had a similar idea at the same time and implemented. And thats a distro these same guys have also shat on honestly over the years.
People turned on Redhat too fairly quickly, and they donated a metric ton of code. And my experience in a lot of open source projects honestly is that on most of them, the community contributes next-to-nothing. Canonical too… SystemD? Constantly getting attacked.
it’s why I personally stopped contributing.
If the community stopped using code from these companies they constantly crap on, I think they would be surprised just how little of linux is left (like Wayland is by a Redhat Developer, and Keith Packard from Xorg worked at HP)
