Demonizing spaces for like minded people to congregate doesn’t solve that.
If this is a polite way of saying “go somewhere else to lightly criticize democrats,” I don’t accept that. I can at least hope Lemmy can do better, and try to change it.
Of course having a good information diet is critical. But that’s besides the point? I don’t think this thread would be a thing if all our information diets were great.
It just doesn’t resonate with voters.
I think many voters “feel” tech getting junky, but the connection to why is just way too complicated for most to dig into. It’s not a direct line like tipping waiters or getting abortions.
I’m with Shepard on this one, even if he’s being a jerk about it.
Lemmy is a filter bubble, an echo chamber. You miss information that would be personally important to you, but is excluded because it doesn’t fit with the US Democrat party line, and the very specific part of it Lemmy’s politically active base likes.
Like, I’m a raging Trump hater, but I’m kind of aghast at how many knee jerk reactions (like, to me, your original reply) I get when I imply something vaguely critical about the Democrats.
What does that have to do with internet privacy legislation?
This is not just a partisan issue. As the article points out, its been like this for 30 years. The Dems failed to pass any meaningful legislation too.
It’s because it makes gobs of money that both parties are taking, and it also kind of projects US power to other countries since US tech is doing most of the data collection.
I just want Elon to release the weights for the new one. You know, like he said he would. It actually seems pretty good (whereas the old Grok was totally useless for the size).
But no… just keep harping on OpenAI not being open while you do the same thing.
Looks shiny and “deep fried” kind of like midjourney?
One open secret in AI land is that everyone trains on everyone elses output (like this, to adopt the popular style). Even if its blatantly against the license. Who’s gonna prove it?
Same with large black holes, which are (going by their event horizon) less dense than water. Black holes get less dense as they get more massive.
If you drop one into an ocean, the ocean will immediately collapse into an even bigger black hole and mess up space around it.
It’s crazy that Twitter has such an outsized influence on the public, and I think it’s because news outlets amplify it so much.
It doesn’t have that many active users. And news rarely covers other platforms when something makes a lot of noise and reaches many eyeballs.
I still have to keep Windows around for (ironically) performance reasons.
Some sim games like Rimworld and Stellaris just have a big hit on linux for me, native or Proton. And in a sim game, that means slow turns and stutters you can’t avoid instead of slightly lesser graphics. And it’s not sublte, native stellaris is like a good 30%-40% slower with even higher spikes last time I benched them back to back.
Well the jist of it is in one sentence:
The net result is that I have transmitted a message into my own past.
Basically, FTL automatically lets you make time machines, and this is bad™. It just doesn’t make any physical sense, so the consensus is bad things happen (like black holes forming) when you actually push against the speed of light, with very reasonable explanations for why this happens.
The exception is wormholes ,which are theoretically possible “FTL” travel, but only if you are very very careful about where you put them. Otherwise they explode.
See Orion’s Arm’s explanation:
https://www.orionsarm.com/xcms.php?r=oa-faq&topic=FTL in OA
And related concept’s like a wormhole’s failure mode (EG they immediately collapse if ever positioned in a way that allows for actual FTL travel):

Orion’s Arm is really cool because it’s set in the far future, but it tries to limit AI engineering to what’s theoretically possible with current physics (just not with current engineering), and they have good explanations for it all. For example, warp drives are a thing, and theoretically plausible, but they do not allow for FTL travel.
If FTL is impossible (as is likely the case) there is a point where a better ship can’t catch up, even if its going like 0.9c.
Reddit still has niches that (unfortunately) exist nowhere else, probably won’t exist anywhere else soon due to the need for foot traffic, and are tolerable as long as old.reddit.com stays up.
And it’s the lesser evil over Discord.
Lemmy is of course 1000x better, but it doesn’t matter if your niche there is a ghost town.
It totally kills interest in the device though. Its like they think every single buyer is an impulse buyer who just looks at the demo in Best Buy without even looking it up or trying it.
It’s really sad, as it kills the end product for no good reason. Just theoretical pennies.
I mean, Windows would be fine if the OEM stripped it down instead of bloating it even more. They can totally do with with group policies.
I honestly don’t know what they were thinking here.
They just can’t help themselves, lol.
All that bloat is bad enough on a laptop, but its the absolute last thing a handheld needs, both for performance/battery and ergonomics.
Some places on a “budget” like Ao3 just rate limit hard.
I don’t like that solution at all though.
A+ feature, ready to monetize. Thumbs up emoji
