  Because you install the app, make an account, and use it and now it has more celebs I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that if you want BlueSky like growth for activity pub… You federate with Threads. Or another hypothetical flagship where everyone is sent. Stop worrying spreading users around so much. People who join that network on the flagship can learn about federation and instance switching later.

  I’m sure many people on activitypub would prefer that it grows more like it has though.

  I’m hoping for a nice warm x86_64 phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This need not be the case, though! There’s an open source client on Android called Keyguard. I don’t think the desktop app was at all useful anyway. You can just log into your Vaultwarden through any browser. The desktop app is pointless.

  If “your” phone belongs to your employer that’s the choice you made. It isn’t yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What?! Of course I didn’t! You’re imagining things!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The term “AI bubble” refers to the idea that the excitement, investment, and hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) may be growing at an unsustainable rate, much like historical financial or technological bubbles (e.g., the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s). Here are some key aspects of this concept:

  1. Overvaluation and Speculation: Investors and companies are pouring significant amounts of money into AI technologies, sometimes without fully understanding the technology or its realistic potential. This could lead to overvaluation of AI companies and startups.

  2. Hype vs. Reality: There is often a mismatch between what people believe AI can achieve in the short term and what it is currently capable of. Some claims about AI may be exaggerated, leading to inflated expectations that cannot be met.

  3. Risk of Market Crash: Like previous bubbles in history, if AI does not deliver on its overhyped promises, there could be a significant drop in AI investments, stock prices, and general interest. This could result in a burst of the “AI bubble,” causing financial losses and slowing down real progress.

  4. Comparison to Previous Bubbles: The “AI bubble” is compared to the dot-com bubble or the housing bubble, where early optimism led to massive growth and investment, followed by a sudden collapse when the reality didn’t meet expectations.

  Not everyone believes an AI bubble is forming, but the term is often used as a cautionary reference, urging people to balance enthusiasm with realistic expectations about the technology’s development and adoption.

  Understood, but in the context of a coffee shop in an anglophone place it has a different agreed upon meaning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t a latte non-steamed though? I thought a cappuccino had the frothed milk in it.

  Yeah, I got a Bolt EUV last year. No regrets so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think he’s correct and there’s a ton of cope going on on lemmy right now. I also think tons of art/graphic design jobs will disappear never to return.

  If forced to characterize the attitude of lemmy towards LLM/“AI,” I’d say people here are broadly interested in the tech but critical of the way it’s often used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An angry admin shares the CrowdStrike outage experience⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if any Lemmy servers run on Windows without WSL. I can’t think of any hard dependencies on Linux, so it should be possible.
