I can watch two of those per workday, on my bus commute to/from work. Usually end up watching history documentaries instead (currently going through a 6 hours one detailing the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, gonna be an interesting week)
it’s just factually incorrect that “The PC is dead”
I think the author's point on this wasn't so much that "nobody uses PC anymore", but rather the concept of a Personal Computer, which you fully owned. There's also the irony of the first Apple computers being personal computers you could open, fix and modify. Software is where few people feel like they own their computers. Free software being sold to shady companies isn't new, even FOSS projects have been bought. That's the main problem the author wants to point out, which is essentially the same as Cory Doctorow's piece on enshitification.
The author also left this:
I’ve shown this editorial to friends, and some people felt that I did not emphasize the benefits of current technology enough. But I argue that my criticism is less about the actual technology and more about how we use it—and how companies make money from it.
To me, mostly convenience. I do that with anime and, if the show doesn't grab my attention by halfway of the first episode, I won't feel like I wasted extra time waiting for the full episode to be downloaded only to decide that nah, not worth it.
Can it cross federate? Or at least within pixel fed, how easy is it for instances to federate? I've found that mastodon requires at least one person from a different instance following you before your stuff federates there
The Meta boss was defiant in downplaying the possibility of a mass exodus of users.
I mean, he's probably not worrying too much about the US/EU markets, since in terms of MAU, Southeast Asia probably represents over 70% of that. Does anyone know what has been the general reaction to his bullshit over there?
Mary-Frances Makichen, a Threads user who has 253 followers, lamented that Meta and Zuckerberg “are counting on the fact that it’s too hard for people to leave Threads and IG.”
Pretty much. It's probably actually impossible to fully delete the accounts, fuckyzucky lives off users' data.
To be fair to the fucking muskrat, he paid 44 billion dollars to have the loudest voice in the world. By chance, he also got a lot of power in US politics. Sure, he's killing twitter in the process, but he can probably recoup the money through other means.
Linux, after all, already runs on the Grace Blackwell Superchip. Windows doesn’t.
And why is that?
Project DIGITS features the new NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, offering a petaflop of AI computing performance for prototyping, fine-tuning and running large AI models.
With the Grace Blackwell architecture, enterprises and researchers can prototype, fine-tune and test models on local Project DIGITS systems running Linux-based NVIDIA DGX OS, and then deploy them seamlessly on NVIDIA DGX Cloud™, accelerated cloud instances or data center infrastructure.
Oh, because it's not a fucking consumer product. It's for enterprises that need a cheap supercomputer
Beaker Browser lets you make sites and have people connect to it via P2P https://beakerbrowser.com/ ; it uses the Hypercore protocol - In a way, it's an "easier to get into" attempt, since the browser doubles as a "server"
There's also I2P that works in a similar manner to Freenet and has much greater focus on privacy
From my limited knowledge, you'd need one account on each instance and have all of them boosting the original post, which would make them more visible in their local instances.
