- Comment on Firefox 140 Brings Tab Unload, Custom Search & New ESR 1 hour ago:
Not everything is Chrome just yet. We still have Gecko and Webkit holding on.
- Comment on Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress 2 hours ago:
It was fun! It worked well when compared with IE back in the day which isn’t saying much, but it was a sensible bedfellow with iTunes and all the Apple mobile support software that was common to run alongside for your iPod. I enjoyed using it as my main browser because it was aesthetically pleasing.
- Comment on Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress 4 hours ago:
Apple used rigged demos and made false claims about their own technology so outstanding that their own project managers were taken aback by how far behind the features actually were vs. what was pushed. There’s already informal documentaries on the massive internal disconnects within Apple that have lead to poor product testing and stagnation.
- Comment on Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress 4 hours ago:
I did use Safari for Windows back in the day. It was a product they indeed shipped.
- Comment on Who's up for some hotdickle? 11 hours ago:
Would!
- Comment on Do I need to make it anymore obvious? 13 hours ago:
They could, in fact, not make it any more obvious.
- Comment on [DHS]Threat to the United States. "Both hacktivists and Iranian government-affiliated actors routinely target poorly secured US networks and Internet-connected devices for disruptive cyber attacks." 1 day ago:
I came here just to write this – I thought we clearly chose to leave behind cybersecurity because education and science are bad.
- Comment on I'm the creator of Seedit and I'm here to share how it works and clear up some Concerns/FUDS 2 days ago:
Then use decentralized links or hashes, which is what IPFS uses to identify content. A character limit doesn’t solve this problem fundamentally. Indeed, it’s been a tough problem to solve for decentralized services.
- Comment on I'm the creator of Seedit and I'm here to share how it works and clear up some Concerns/FUDS 2 days ago:
I’m concerned about the large amount of low quality, vaporware/crypto applications built on IPFS which is the same core technology used here. It’s concerning how many clicks it takes to get technical specs for the underlying work, like libp2p for the network layer, which itself espouses only vague ideas on its main website that seems to focus a lot more on presentation than technical merit. Even the GitHub admits that the spec that most of these apps are relying upon is, well, unspecified.
Your project source downloads and runs an executable. That’s a little bit SUS. It would be much better of you compiled/built this core code as part of your build process, else, it’s not much in the way of source code, no?
I think the biggest tell that IPFS borders on vaporware is that there’s very little discussion about concrete specifications and the main problem faced by all DHTs: how you get your data to actually stay hosted on the network over time. These ideas are not new, and you may be better served building your app on technology that has spent vastly more time understanding the fundamental problems.
- Comment on Meme Mixer 2 days ago:
Excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber.
- Comment on Millions of Americans Who Have Waited Decades for Fast Internet Connections Will Keep Waiting After the Trump Administration Threw a $42 Billion High-Speed Internet Program Into Disarray. 3 days ago:
This is exactly what some of my extended family uses because there’s literally no other option. Not even cellular.
This isn’t even up in the mountains or something. This is just rural Alabama where kids are struggling to do homework because they just don’t have access, and it all but guarantees that their technology skills will remain woefully outdated.
I remember when they had DSL not that long ago and I would turn off updates on everything because it was a complete waste of time to attempt.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 6 days ago:
I ask AI to avoid all the AI slop search results I’d have to sift through when I could get my slop delivered directly.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 week ago:
Aero the Acrobat for GBA.
Cheap Sonic ripoff? I loved that game. Spent many childhood hours and AA batteries playing it and learning every corner of every level.
- Comment on We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span. 1 week ago:
Problem is, people want a silver bullet and there just isn’t one.
You need to create an economy that works for everyone where skilled workers from all professions can be successful. You can’t cram everybody into one job and expect everything to just work out.
Just about all jobs are important, and deserve a living wage and fair compensation for that work.
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 2 weeks ago:
Do not visit the USA. Just don’t. Spend your money elsewhere for your sake and for our sake. It’s no good to anybody for you to spend it here right now.
- Comment on YSK Trump is doing a rally at Ft Bragg and you can register online 2 weeks ago:
This looks fake. Real events provide event information before you provide your personal information.
For example, many attendees might want to look up requirements or details about the event. It’s also really suspect that you can only get one ticket per mobile number. What if you have a child who doesn’t have a phone number? What about accessibility? Just follow the instructions we text you?
- Comment on Wish I could get free drinks with my shirt off 2 weeks ago:
My elderly mom did this once in the keys and was disappointed when she was told that it was the guys who were supposed to buy her the free drinks.
- Comment on Booming US gambling industry a ‘highway without speed limits’, top regulator warns 2 weeks ago:
They’re talking about the poor version for those of us who don’t have access to insider trading information right?
- Comment on Slrpnk instance is down till mid July; they might relaunch their server on piefed. 2 weeks ago:
You may underestimate user dedication. I love my instance and totally would come back after a few months away temporarily.
You got me on the communities though.
- Comment on YSK that if you are planning an outdoor event, you can check where the shade and shadows will fall on a given day and time 2 weeks ago:
Shockingly accurate even for my unremarkable small town. It even has the tree shadows!
- Comment on Why is lemmy so political?! 2 weeks ago:
That’s not public transportation!
- Comment on [meta] Time to make a new home for this community, since lemm.ee is shutting down 2 weeks ago:
I wonder if Lemm.ee admins can somehow lock all communities right before going offline so that users aren’t mislead and try to make posts that will never federate.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 weeks ago:
I know this is bait but who said they had the same-sized pizzas?
One could be XL the other one a personal pizza.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It has wired audio out, right? You can get earphone-to-bluetooth adapters and connect the car that way. They also make devices that transmit over FM frequencies short distances so you can tune in to your iPod.
- Comment on Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI Delusions 2 weeks ago:
AI is not healthy. Our mental health is nowhere near good enough to handle even this level of machine intelligence.
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 3 weeks ago:
Way cool. That looks really professional, too.
- Comment on Meta plans to use AI to automate up to 90% of its privacy and integrity risk assessments, including in sensitive areas like violent content 3 weeks ago:
Great move for Meta. It’ll let them claim they’re doing something to curb horrid content on the platform without actually doing anything.
- Comment on Andrew Leigh says Australia is a generation away from “US-style inequality” 3 weeks ago:
It’s great being the bad example here in the US.
- Comment on Got some more folks?? 3 weeks ago:
Ya know with the right date, it can still be a pretty funny joke. I’ve had dates that would have loved that one.
- Comment on I'm something of an expert myself 3 weeks ago:
There’s so many mobo connectors that clearly were not designed with cycle count in mind.
