ganymede,

expect they’ve found a way to ‘profit’ off the collapse already. might be one of the reasons they’re doing nothing to stop it

ganymede,

i like

ganymede,

its probable (imo)

the supposed employee performance metrics is only the lure.

the main prize for m$ is to associate use of m$ products WITH employee performance.

ie. take 20x longer to do something because you had to use a m$ product, rather than do it quickly and easily in some FOSS software.

that's a win for m$ and everyone else loses, employee/employer/foss etc

ganymede,

excited to see more users

welcome :)

ganymede,

at a quick guess i'd say right now you're probably correct.

though wireless power methods have the future potential to scale wired delivery out of the park.

i think this concept is probably something along those lines: in the future it could do some pretty awesome stuff, but it's complicated to do it right, so we kind of need to start now so that by the time its ready to shine its actually mature enough to do so.

Planned obsolescence, and why Apple dumped thousands of working computers in a landfill.

There's a really interesting documentary up by The Verge that's a must-watch for anyone with an interest in the circular economy and tech waste.

It tells the story of how, early in its existence, Apple used to resell the working but obsolete computers that it couldn't sell to a distributor (who would sell them at a lower price).

But one day, that all changed. Apple decided to reclaim thousands of the still working old computers from the distributor, and dumped them in a landfill.

(For people with an interest in retrocomputing and Apple, it also tells the sad story of what ended up happening to the company's Lisa systems.)

Planned obsolescence is not an accident. It's a design choice.

ganymede,

and at the same time expect us to believe they want us to buy a separate charger with a new phone because its "greener" lol yeh right

ganymede,

or the top 30 comments were stupid circle jerk jokes

Which ML model, is it proprietary? which service would handle the requests? which servers would do the computation? etc

Most here are seeking freedom away from the corporate tech monsters, not to give them a seat at the table.

ganymede,

If you're in a position to get more euro funding, have a look around here there's projects listed which seem similar(ish) in spirit https://international-partnerships.ec.europa.eu/index_en so i think you might be in with a fair chance.

ganymede,

free speech ≠ hate speech

Be warned. The erroneous belief that “free speech” is a right wing concept is exactly the lie right wing lunatics want you to believe. it suits them very nicely.

right wing loonies have a long history of hijacking and destroying empathetic terms like this.

if they believed in freedom or free speech, why is it always them who are burning and banning books? why are they always the ones trying to control other people’s bodies? when they talk about freedom, they mean their freedom to take yours away.

should we let them kill yet another canary of a healthy society? that’s a different discussion. but it would be a substantial error to assume anyone who won’t let them hijack it are actually right wing.

ganymede,

i don't know about more notorious.

that may merely be the propaganda we're exposed to.

but for sure, noone has our back here, we have to have eachother's back

ganymede, (edited )

so true

ganymede,

identical experience. 100% would do again

ganymede,

for what? food? jail breaking your dishwasher?

ganymede,

with power, comes responsibility

ganymede,

easiest question we're gonna answer all year:

fuck microsoft and their stooges

opensource driver hackers ftw!!

ganymede,

tldr for those who are not up to date on what "Musk/Taibbi spin" or "the Twitter Files" means? tnx

ganymede,

fantastic start, would be amazing to see this field progress!

ganymede, (edited )

yeah the over-emphasis of public hate which conflates the principles of cryptocurrency with the scammers, can only really benefit the existing financial power structures imo

unless i've misunderstood something...?

for sure the scammers need to be ridiculed, but scammers have been around probably since we lived in caves, if not earlier, so blaming crypto itself doesn't seem right.

What's the privacy of discord like? (with context in the body)

So I've started using Ublock Origin on my firefox on Ubuntu, and I noticed that it showed no blocked trackers on the webapp of discord. I'm well aware of the perils of using any service that doesnt support e2ee for private messaging and i hate discord for that and being corporate, But i was wondering how bad would it be for...

ganymede,

excellent research Arthur Besse!! this cuts through any speculation right to the point. well done!
