If you are not in for the dividents or the voting privileges stocks are always a game of “I hope someone is dumb enough to pay more than me for these shares”.
- Comment on Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report 2 months ago:
Most people don’t want to pay for AI. So they are building stuff that costs a lot for a market that is not willing to pay for it. It is mostly a gimmick for most people.
- Comment on Do you think the Creality K2 Plus is worth waiting for? 2 months ago:
Yeah I did that math myself. I would only do that because I like my Ender 3. But in the end a complete package sounds very tempting.
- Comment on Do you think the Creality K2 Plus is worth waiting for? 2 months ago:
I don’t have the space for two printers. But I think too that at some point upgrading makes sense. The Ender 3 is nice to tinker but I want something that just works.

Fascinating. The model identifies the Harmonica by the hand position.
- Comment on Funkwhale - A platform for all your audio 6 months ago:
Depending on your jurisdiction it is probably your responsibility to enforce your copyright. I can always just record your music off a streaming platform. You can attach a license to your song in funkwhale (see this). If you want DRM for your music then funkwhale is probably also not for your. You still have to enforce your self that nobody monetizes your works if you don’t allow it. You can delete things from the fediverse if you know the source but I don’t think funkwhale allows DRM protected music.
If you attach a license to your works that doesn’t allow monetization and they monetize the app you can sue them. I doubt they will though. And they probably wouldn’t be very successful because the app and the server are open source. You could just build the app without monetization. And someone probably would.
The upload and sharing copyrighted music probably falls into the hands of the instance admin. As with PeerTube it is probably not a good idea to have open signups. But everyone has to make sure that doesn’t happen.
The fediverse is an open and very liberal space. If you want full control over your works it is probably not for you. No software with federation probably is. If you want and need to control over your works (which is legitimate) you need something with a tighter grip, maybe host the things yourself on your server with DRM. That doesn’t mean it is bad for everyone.
- Comment on Funkwhale - A platform for all your audio 6 months ago:
I am unsure if I understand you correctly. Funkwhale is for you to publish music or other audio you make yourself. Not for your commercial music library. And the software itself is under the GNU AGPLv3. You can host the software yourself on your own server or you join an instance of someone else. Just like lemmy, mastodon or all the other fediverse projects.
- Comment on Funkwhale - A platform for all your audio 6 months ago:
What are you saying? This is an open source project that is connected to the fediverse. It aims to be something comparable to soundcloud where people can share their music. What about this is says monetization?
- Comment on Can you un-smart a smart tv? 7 months ago:
Yes. If you don’t connect it is pretty dumb and shouldn’t be able to send your data for harvesting. You sould research if you can set it to one of the outputs permanently then you can use some external device that you trust.
- Comment on Is Antivirus needed in 2024? 9 months ago:
Windows Defender is the default anti virus solution on Windows by now and it is good. But no anti virus is perfect. It is a good idea to have a backup strategy if you plan on having any important data on your PC. In case of encryption malware and hardware problems.
Phishing is also very problematic practice that the anti virus can’t protect you from and even experts can fall into the traps. So you have to be careful with your account credentials.
Don’t disable Windows updates or postpone them indefinitely (though windows makes that harder to do anyways). Also be aware that your PC might need firmware updates too to stay secure. It depends on the manufacturer of your hardware how and if these are provided and how you install them.
Lastly I can recommend using Firefox with uBlock Origin. Using an ad blocker can help you stay safer and Firefox has very good support for them.

I don’t know about the hardware requirements, but the game is a very interesting journey. I enjoyed it.

I invented one for you:

When you have something stuck at the tip of your tongue, but looking it up feels like cheating.

Let me rephrase that: I never heard one. There is a word for tip of the tongue but not for the concrete situation OP described. I mean the possibility to just look up stuff wherever you are is a very recent development so it makes sense that a word that incorporates this isn’t invented yet.

It’s not really green to bring ice to the UAE. I doubt there is a direct route between Iceland and the UAE.
- Comment on Moderna’s mRNA cancer vaccine works even better than thought 10 months ago:
There is a common misconception that long term effects will manifest long after the injection. All vaccines with longterm effects manifested their effect shortly after the injection. It makes little sense that you will have adverse reactions months or years later because the compounds are long gone from your system.
There was also the misconception that the vaccine was rushed and that steps were skipped or shortened during testing. That is not the case. The administrative processes were prioritized and there was a huge amount of test candidates so testing could be done much quicker. The normal process is not longer because they want to gather more long term data but because it just takes longer to gather it.

I never needed more than 4G on the go. I wouldn’t mind 5G but I won’t pay extra for it especially because the data caps are always too low.
- Comment on 11 months ago:
Pixelfed and Mastodon have a comparable presentation. Lemmy is a bit different. The focus is different. It might be possible to display content from every fediverse implementation but it might be a less than ideal experience for many of them.

It is still on Meta servers.
- Comment on Roblox tells employees they have to come to office three days a week or take severance package 1 year ago:
I really think it is connected to the fact that many managers never had to think about how long something takes and how much work they actually need out of someone. It used to be, that if you stare at your screen from 9-5 you probably did all the work you could. But now they can’t see you stare at the screen and they fear they don’t get all the work out of you. For the first time management has to figure out how much work they need instead of going by time spent in the office. That scares them.
- Comment on Firefish Mastodon alternative 1 year ago:
The userbase is not that important with activity pub. If the features are good they can grow slowly and still enjoy the whole fediverse. Of course it is important to have users at all. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense to put work on the software.
- Comment on Does anyform of multi-fediverse account type of thing exist? 1 year ago:
The problem is not the data. Only the central nature and the dependency on a central point.
- Comment on Does anyform of multi-fediverse account type of thing exist? 1 year ago:
As pretty as that would be it has its problems. For this to work you need an authentication service. If you use that service for everything then your accounts are linked to this auth provider and you get a problem if that service goes down. You create a single point of failure.
That being said matrix and mastodon support oauth providers. So it is possible to have unified authentication provider for these two. Lemmy doesn’t support this yet.
