I’m forced into this box that is my subscribed feed or I have to actively search out new communities because all is just a political circle jerk that I don’t care about.
Come on, this is not a problem. It's a feature.
As another user said in another reply, having a algorithm curating your feed ends up curating you.
It's even easier here than on reddit since you can even block whole instances! Block the ones that have the most political communities and you will be fine.
I agree with you on one thing, the lack of content on topics that are not tech or political related. But that falls on us, the users. I hope more communities will continue to grow in the future.
Not to mention the moment I came back I saw a fucking flow chart on the instances drama of the week.
I don't know, for me at least, it has been pretty funny, especially these days. You enter fediverse@lemmy.world, see the big pinned thread that says "Don't whine", and then hundreds of people whining. It gives me a chuckle.
I went into hyperbole there, my bad. I agree wholeheartedly with your reply.
Admittedly, I have a bias here, since using water for food production feels more justified. Same with some industries. But I concede and agree that meat is not the most efficient way nor the most ethical source of food.
I think data centers rub me the wrong way because, for me, they are the straw that broke the camel's back.
We see how lots of countries pull out of the fight against climate change (not that they were really fighting it, but at least they seemed to care a little) and now they waste more resources on things that are, from my point of view, not productive nor useful to most people.
(Ethics aside, my view on Gen AI is that it is a tech that is not mature enough, and that the use of brute force to make it better is a waste of resources)
I kid you not, yesterday while reading about the ai bubble and the datacenters boom i was thinking maybe this is THE filter.
Not a nuclear winter, not the angry alien or the big scary asteroid.
Just a fucking chatbot wasting all the water and power.
We truly live in a boring dystopia.
Now that you tell me, I think i have heard about that before. It does make a bit of sense, there may be some of both things to this madness. While speculation i value the observation and i will keep it mind, thank you for sharing it.
Fully agree, while people losing jobs to ai is sad, i have zero sympathies for meta employees. They knew pretty well how insidious that company is, and as you said, they are smart enough to find a good enough job in another company.
A bit off topic, but all this ai stuff replacing so many jobs is a bit baffling to me. At least for certain jobs. It's not like in the industrial revolution where you could see tangible results in production and efficiency. Even if it come at a terrible human cost you could see the cold logic.Here in change, they are firing good talent only to get a subpar costlier replacement.
Sure there are some places where it works, but i don't believe it's yet to the scale where you would fire so many people.
I suppose the wet dreams of a future with no employees is too good to pass.
I did, but i don't know if changing things there will cause conflicts.
Since i have no experience using luci i don't know what behaviour is normal or expected, and to what extent the custom software glinet uses changes it. Do you think that tweeking the preconfigured networks would cause conflicts in the long run?
After sleeping over it, im leaning towards going full vanilla. It should be easier to find tutorials to solve and isolate problems.
