Maybe not, but it would probably grow immensly. The exodus from discord is pretty significant, and matrix is mentioned again and again. It does not have to be that many more users in % from Discord to make matrix a lot more popular than it is today

I am so pissed that Element does not support push to talk OR a minimum noise gate

Do your mouth and teeth taste something? I just taste whstever I just ate and bits and pieces that are left, if any.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 2 weeks ago:
Is this the first step towards using local LLMs for anonymity? 🫠 Always rephrasing each sentence somewhat. Truly dystopian stuff

Obviously 1 and 4. I’d be happy and filthy rich in no time.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 1 month ago:
The only real innovation after 1080p for TV was HDR, sound stuff, 60-120hz, and upscaling to 4k.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 months ago:
If they can trace it, why would they need the code to do it? They know who you are already
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 months ago:
Yes. There are many solutions.
Maybe the absolutely easiest to implement is just a signed message from an authority (gov.). You click a button on the website that requires verification, get a new tab to a gov. site with no identifiers from the site redirecting you and get a message you copy. The copied message is then pasted in to the site requiring verification. The site can then verify the message at their servers.

This is really simple. If you have more than a 1000 million dollars. Every day you decide to keep it instead of saving lives and helping people. It will never be moral
- Comment on Stop cramming everything onto one Pi: treat your home lab like a tiny ISP - hardware, stack, backups and an update plan 4 months ago:
I host everything on my Pi having turned off some logging. When I feel like it I use the command “dd” to copy everything exactly from the sd card to another as a backup with the same size. So when it stops working I just dd the new one to another one and replace the broken one with a new one. The SD cards have not stopped working yet though, after 1 year

- Comment on If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases? 6 months ago:
I paid for several, to test features and see if there is value. There is little value in paying, close to zero. The difference between the best models and the best free ones are miniscule. We are hitting a plateau now, with diminishing returns. Talking with AI is a nice UX feature, and is mostly paid, but Qwen has this for free.
Images and video generation is not useful. Coding is slightly useful in very specific cases, but mostly useless. It gives a false sense of fast progress. In the long term it harms productivity. So it works for simple proof of concepts and inspiration/exploring solutions. If you are a junior in a language or software development, avoid it. Otherwise the road to becoming a senior will be long and hard.
The most useful cases is “creativity”, exploring ideas, and inspiration. And getting started with something where you don’t know where to begin. If I want to know something about a topic, I find it as a useful and untrustworthy starting point, nothing can be trusted from AI, but it can introduce you to subjects so that you know what to look for. It is useful for exploring ideas and brainstorming.
So don’t pay, just use the free ones. There is low value in paying. If you have a PC with a mid/high end GPU you can install Jan.ai for free and use models locally also.
I currently use Mistral and Qwen mostly. I still have a subscription to Mistral, and am waiting for it to run out.

The countryside can get pretty lonely. Once you retire there is no more socialising with coworkers. So there is only the family, friends and the community. Moving a way from family, friends and a place with lots of places to build new friendships (hobbies etc) could get lonely.

Another thing, I remember when I used to live in a house with a cat and a lot of rodents. Our traps killed a couple a week and our cat killed probably not far from a thousand rodents and birds. We could have protected our house more from animals, and we could have had the cat indoors. Somehow cats killing animals is socially accepted, the same goes for rodents in your house.

Exactly this, I am not trying to say that it is not allowed to have the opinion that this was distasteful. I just find it interesting how hard people judge this person. There are infinitely amounts of cognitive dissonance we all live with every day. It’s not really to judge people for eating meat, it’s more to point our that from a logical standpoint this person actually did not do something much more unethical. Kinda like the thing with the female politician who shot her dog. Which I personally feel is insane and a terrible thing to do, but at the same time dogs are kinda like pigs, and we kill them all the time just because we prefer pig meat over lentils, beans, rice etc.
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 9 months ago:
He should not have. But we kill animals all the time simply for eating meat, because we think that tastes a bit better. We don’t need to inflict suffering on animals for years, we can abstain from meat. How are we more moral? Just because we outsource the killing? I so not condone his actions, just point out that we are not better.
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 9 months ago:
Of course he should not have done this. What I am saying is that eating meat when we clearly don’t need to is also unnecessary killing. So he killed an animal for no good reason, and we kinda do the same. We have more ethical foods available for us, but we like the taste of meat, and don’t care enough about their suffering. Except for those that abstain from meat.
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 9 months ago:
It’s not about morals that the seagulls can understand. It is not about teaching something. He acted like a moron and completely disproportionately. However it’s not that much unethical than killing for meat, when we don’t need to eat meat.
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 9 months ago:
I know what you mean, it’s disproportionate as hell. I am just saying that we aren’t much better morally than him. Unless we abstain from meat.
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 9 months ago:
What he did was wrong, a bit because of the animal and a lot because of the spectators. It did not suffer, it was quick. It does however feel a bit like cognitive dissonance to strongly disapprove of his actions, while we systematically without any good reason eat animals and have them in small confined areas for optimal meat production per sqm. Vegans and vegetarians however, they can judge him all they want 😉 I am not one of them

Not christian, but I would assume the cross is a reminder of Jesus dying for our sins.
