- Comment on What's a good instance to be on at the moment? 1 week ago:
I’m not close to burnout but thanks for the concern. I don’t run my instance like lemm.ee does for a reason ;)
- Comment on What's a good instance to be on at the moment? 1 week ago:
Unfortunately that philosophy led them to close down their instance due to burnout, so maybe it’s not exactly a winning one 😅
- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 1 week ago:
If we get pwned, or otherwise compromised, one cannot tie your username to an email. The same reason the OP doesn’t want to provide an email I guess.
- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 1 week ago:
We require a valid email for registration as an anti-spam measure, but you can remove the email afterwards.
- Comment on Israel's spy agency used AI and smuggled-in drones to prepare attack on Iran 1 week ago:
Israel’s element of surprise was enhanced by Iranian officials’ apparent assumption that Israel wouldn’t attack while talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program were ongoing with the U.S.
- Comment on Best place for a community alternative to Facebook group? 1 week ago:
Yes lemmy can serve as a good replacement for a picture sharing group

Machine vision is very similar tech
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
I’m wasn’t trying to win anything. You argued that all technology under capitalism is unethical. So since clearly we can conceive some things as worse than others, I was trying to distill where the difference lies according to you.
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
Ok, so photography is as bad in your eyes as LLMs I take it?
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
Every technology we use in the modern day was produced under capitalism
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
What I always say, you’re not mad a GenAI as a technology, you’re mad at Capitalism.
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
Generative AI can have a lot of great uses to detect and prevent unethical content online. Particularly CSAM. Some forms of it are already used to protect some of your favourite lemmy instances.
- Comment on YSK: db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com set up a AI image generator bot on the Threadiverse for anyone here to freely use 1 week ago:
I could arrange that somehow as being able to reply with memegens was part of the original idea. But you might still end up with a bad 1shot.
- Comment on China's electric cars are becoming slicker and cheaper - but is there a deeper cost? 2 weeks ago:
VC-backed OpenAI is the most valuable company in the world and is engaging in massive environmental destruction. The US state just went into cahoots with them to the tune of billions
VC-backed Uber and AirBnb disrupted multiple estabilished industries for the worst by undercutting them through loss-leading.
VC-backed Facebook killed or purchased all its rivals and consolidated all social media to the detriment of the whole world.
- Comment on China's electric cars are becoming slicker and cheaper - but is there a deeper cost? 2 weeks ago:
So, basically what every VC-backed capitalist is doing. But we don’t see these constant articles of “But at what cost” for every VC-backed venture
- Comment on China's electric cars are becoming slicker and cheaper - but is there a deeper cost? 2 weeks ago:
OK but seriously, “China does something potentially good, but at what cost” is a meme at this point.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Again, python 2 still exists. nothing would be “trashed”. If you want backwards compatibility just keep using python2. We clearly don’t see things the same way, but given that python is the most popular languge in the world, I’m happy most see it my way.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Python 2 transition took decades and EOL was almost a decade ago, get over it. If you still want to use it, use it!
I don’t understand this approach at all. Software evolves and sometimes you need breaking changes. Godot did it as well, but I guess that “great for tinkering” as well.
It fills me with confidence that the language is the most widely used in the world and is not afraid to do what must be done instead of growing stale and unwieldly so that lazy developers don’t learn anything new.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Mate,you have a 20 year old perception of python. “good for tinkering”, Cheezus…
- Comment on Slrpnk instance is down till mid July; they might relaunch their server on piefed. 2 weeks ago:
If you rent rack space, you can at least call the DC to send someone to reboot it or smt.
- Comment on Could You Prove You’re a US Citizen? 3 weeks ago:
Ye obviously. But as an autistic person, having to directly face such injustice would probably get me shot.
- Comment on Could You Prove You’re a US Citizen? 3 weeks ago:
I meant if I was the affected person
- Comment on Could You Prove You’re a US Citizen? 3 weeks ago:
You can tell the guards there that you’re a citizen, but they’ll likely respond with some version of “tell it to the judge.” Your immigration-court appearance could be weeks, or even months, away. You will wait behind bars. There’s no right to counsel in immigration court — if you can’t afford a lawyer, you’ll have to represent yourself. When you finally see the inside of a courtroom, it could be what ICE calls a “mass removal” hearing with dozens of other defendants. You won’t have a chance to talk to a judge.
Holy fucking shit. The injustice in this would cause me have a violent meltdown.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
Sad to hear, had a very inspired name and the admin was very strong with hosting tech. Unfortunately however a generic instance with lax federation rules and no solid ideology, is a recipe for burning out your admins.

I wonder what kind of of csam detection they have. If they’re only relying on hash matching, they’ve gonna get fucked from novel genai csam. This is why stuff like the fedi-safety exists which they could use as well
