  • The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce

    Jump

  • A1 is not a steak sauce, just like how ketchup is not a steak sauce.

    Asking for A1 to put on a steak is an insult to the cook/chef that made it.

  • I am reminded of that quote from Spaceballs: "Evil always wins because good is dumb."

    But, like, is it really true? Isn't the exact opposite actually true?

  • Well, yes, but also that's very illegal.

    Will the GOP hold them accountable and start an investigation about it? Fuck no!

  • I reckon this is the usage distribution of Lemmy servers that we'll end up with.

    Jump

  • You really trust the US government to control your communications? Especially given the last 20 years?

    No, I don't trust right-wing Nazis to control my communications. And I sure as fuck trust the government more than I trust greedy corporations. The problem is that the corporations have been fucking up the capitalistic/democratic balance for the last 50 years.

  • The raw SMTP landscape on the internet is such a shitshow. Setting up a SMTP server requires so many goddamn condoms that you might as well just give up and start using some other professional email service. Or you set it up just to forward email to a GMail account, and even then, Gmail bitches about how much spam you're forwarding it and blocks you for a time.

  • U.S. border officials have caught more people with eggs than fentanyl this year

    Jump

  • But, most of them are just food, because we would never have this uptick in smuggling otherwise.

    And we're signaling border officials to throw away all of that food, as if we didn't waste enough food in this county.

  • Why aren't lemmy DMs compatible with mastodon?

    Jump

  • They have conferences about ActivityPub. Why isn't W3C trying to fix this mess in newer backwards-incompatible versions? The time to do it is now, not later, because it would involve a major version and years of pushing for adoption. The lack of standardization of basic concepts is why integrations of different types of implementations is a broken mess, which is the whole fucking point of ActivityPub! Now, we have to compete with ATProto, which has different kinds of problems, and it's very possible that it just wins out and kills ActivityPub.

    This reminds of the early days of SMTP, where there was zero thought behind security, and that created an entire spam industry.

    PeerTube integration into Lemmy is still shit, poorly implemented, and rarely linked by Lemmy admins.

    world free of fraud

    Am I missing something here? Marketing IS fraud.

  • The internet is essentially an infinite world

    I think this worldview is part of the problem. Nothing is infinite, not even the Internet. The tiny pillars that maintain critical pieces will eventually move on. We used to joke that the Internet is forever, but it's not. Data decays and dies. Old web pages are lost.

    Archive.org, Wikipedia, Linux, free and open-source things we take for granted could just disappear.

    Even the scope of the Internet isn't infinite. Just because something is created doesn't mean that people will see it, and not everything you can think of exists on the Internet.

    It's large, for sure, but it has boundaries. Boundaries we can see in macroscopic forms.

    you become nothing.

    You are not nothing because you're not lost in an infinite landscape. Again, the Internet has boundaries, and singular actions that nobody has seen can happen.

  • I still don't understand how the PDS concept matters in an interconnected network of replies. Conversations are threaded, and that "personal data" needs all parties involved in the chain to move to this new thing at the same time. It's not going to happen.
