  Haha. Nope but that does fit. Edited the title.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FYI: Reddit trademarked some community names (Digg link)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Realistically, won’t matter for us for a few reasons:

  1. We’re small. As much as I like this place and want to see it succeed, we have a fraction of the MAUs that they do.

  2. Given the federated nature, it’s pretty much impossible to police. It’s the same as with the age verification checks for social media and porn, you really can’t do much because you could be federated to another instance that passes it along, or is outside of the jurisdiction

  3. They could go after one instance, but there’s no way they could go after thousands of instances, each which could create the same community name.

  So legally could they try to do something? Yes. Realistically no as the size is too small and burden too high.

  Are cup sizes the same in all countries? I know in the US the number is the band size and the cup is supposed to be inches difference between the chest and the breast. But how does that work for metric countries?

  Didn’t they literally make a game about bullying, also is there a game (by another studio) about “going postal”.

  I even saw a game trying to recreate the JFK headshot, but this is something they frown upon?

  So then the Italian court orders its local ISPs to blackhole 1.1.1.1 (which would be stupid easy). Which will end up pushing people to VPNs but still satisfy the court order.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Serious question here. LLMs trained their data off SO. Developers now ask LLMs for solutions instead of SO. New technology comes out that LLMs don’t have indexed. Where will LLMs get their data to train on for new technologies? You can’t exactly feed it a manual and expect it to extrapolate or understand (for that matter “what manual).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The were also the ones to pioneer what I think was called “JIT2” or something like that. Basically it was a “just in time” scenario where they only kept 2 hours worth of parts at the factory. They would literally have trucks of parts lined up in the parking lot to unload for that days build. It shaved a massive amount of debt off as they wouldn’t have to stockpile parts and could change much more rapidly. That’s probably what’s allowing them to pivot in this case.

  I mean if it’s getting that hot, just go at night when it’s cooler out. That’s also the best way to get to the sun and not burn up.

  A Datacenter is what enables Lemmy to exist, so don’t feel bad. I guarantee most instances are hosted on VPS or Cloud providers which run in…. Datacenter’s. Not everyone can afford a fat pipe with a public IP at home.

  I’m still surprised so many people had such a strong opinion. Though honestly it’s probably a “vocal minority” moment. I know myself and quite a few other people I talked to were “oh cool, free album”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing I’ve always said is the US is so arrogant because it’s extremely isolated geographically and has never had a direct large scale war on its infrastructure or land in the past 150 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Logically that makes sense for an elongated timeline, but that also assumes the US doesn’t ramp up their actions, which sadly seems to be the case. So the question is “what then?”

  So Microsoft is so diversified, 130K isn’t even a drop to them. We had almost 200K seats of E3 and when I calculated out the revenue from our EA vs their total revenue, it came up to something like 0.012%. Even though it was tens of millions of dollars on our end, we’re still a drop in the bucket to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly I’ve never had any issues running Windows 11. It’s just the OS in the background for me. I think the biggest difference is I always run Enterprise versions (not Pro or Home) and most of that crap is either non-existent, disabled by default or easy to disable via GPO.

  The big thing for people to realize is that Enterprise is the version most all businesses (especially large ones) run, and Microsoft isn’t going to crap on them as easily. And they know by extension, people will run what their business is, but they can get away with making Pro and Home crappier since it’s just individuals who would switch, not large swaths.
