Honestly “Triplet Towers” rolls nicely off the tongue

Welcome, gentlemen, to Aperture Science!

Easy billions

“simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”

The Magna Carta:

I can see the utility, but there should be at least some critical operability in case the phone or app doesn’t work for whatever reason, to help avoid injuries like these

Mad respect, this is the exact same outlook I have

This is also a reason I use Open Source software, because I know that if it’s not the developer, then someone else can pick up the project and live on in perpetuity, as long as it’s useful to even only one, the software will always be there

AI: “This code will create a memory leak and potentially crash the users operating system”

Me: “Nuh-uh”

AI: “Correct”

Honestly the occasional reposted tik tok is something I really miss from reddit, in the right community scrolling through the top of the week was an absolute blast!

I’m really glad to see some short form video fedi service joining the fediverse, hopefully it pans out well and gets enough users to have consistent content!

“Pixelfed”, “sup.”, “Loops” honestly Pixelfed is like the only fediverse brand with moderately modern naming schemes, like I could imagine Loops and sup gaining actually traction outside of Linux folks, would honestly be a huge win for fedi

Honestly, not that great

It was really good at the start of the exodus, when I felt like I could write and be read, instead of missing the post by like an hour and being the 10,000th comment

And the community was good, too But now it seriously feels stagnant in an active way

I don’t really know if it’s because of Lemmy itself, or because “Eternity for Lemmy” was named after it’s update schedule, but every day on this app feels completely identical to every other day Just politics, Linux, and bad memes That is basically the reddit experience, I will admit, but on here there are basically zero active niche communities, and basically deserts of fandoms

I think Lemmy did get a sort method to try and accommodate more niche communities, but like I said “Eternity” is the update schedule, so whatever that may be I don’t have access to it

And I think that’s a really big thing, actually My app of choice is abandonware compared to other clients, I’ve reported a bug that gets under my skin 6 months ago and there hasn’t been a single update, so i have to live with accidentally opening posts all the time and I hate it

I really really like this client otherwise, but I might just move to a better client or a fork of the same project, I don’t know

I also don’t have instance blocking, either, so that’s fun

Exactly, nobody’s gonna wanna pay $20-$80 per month if they can just run an open source version for free

Classic proprietary L, ironically enough for "Open"AI

This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run

And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be

What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?

Another .ml user here, and yeah it looks like it

It’d honestly suck to lose beehaw again, it’s such a standout server with a really lovely community

But if the devs and the technology just can’t keep up, then I guess there isn’t much that we can do

We still can’t even block instances yet, as far as I’m aware

I don’t understand why I get zero choice

Absolutely agree, I use to get excited for new updates to anything, cuz like “yay new things” or “old things but less buggy”

But recently I’ve been absolutely sulking over the modern software updating paradigm of shipping perfectly fine updates with completely useless UI changes that absolutely nobody wanted so tech companies can justify having an in-house UI team

Like my phone, on Android 11 I set the custom color to a really nice red color, i matched it to my wallpaper and everything, I loved it

And then Android 12 hits, and that lovely red gets replaced with some bologna enthusiast’s spamcore aesthetic

I’m sorry, Material “You”?. Nah this is Material Somebody Else fr

And I can’t do anything to change the colors of my own phone

I hate being a slave to UI teams, let me change the colors atleast, damnit

I am so close to just rooting my phone ngl

They don’t choose what they need to hide, if their government outlaws woodworking tomorrow, then any carpenters today go from “having nothing to hide” to “I need to hide my entire career and hobby” overnight and in their sleep.

And then the government threatens Facebook to hand over messages from any user suspected of woodworking, and then they get persecuted and arrested

The government threatens Google to hand over all browser history from suspected woodworkers, Apple for all iCloud photos from suspected woodworkers, Amazon for all woodworking related purchases

It goes on

If the carpenter cared about privacy from the start, then the government just wouldn’t be able to find them and arrest them for simply woodworking

But the carpenter didn’t care about privacy, they “had nothing to hide” yesterday, so when that law goes into effect tomorrow the government will have a really easy time finding them

Honestly I’d probably be the type to be like “yeah I hate click bait!” Download this, and then stop watching videos entirely because they all look really boring

I mean, we all had to log into the reddit apps in the first place anyways, so I don’t see why we can’t just do that again instead of trying to guess instances or something

The dev posted on r/Infinty_For_Reddit that he’s gonna try a subscription model first, and that he personally doesn’t use Lemmy, so there’s no Infinity for Lemmy client in the works, although he says that making Infinity For Lemmy should be easy with the API Proxy that the Lemmy Developers are making
