  • You literally made up fake situations in your head and got mad from it... They won't do anything, people have the memory of a goldfish. It will blow over in a few weeks.

  • Itch.io games site taken down

    Jump
  • Takedown requests being spammed everywhere is sort of standard, what's crazy is that their domain holder immediately honored the request, completely ignoring how massive itch io is with millions of users...

  • Petting a cat calms down & relieves stress.

    There's a 50/50 chance that a cat will try to claw your eyes out if you rub their belly, but yes.

  • I wouldn't be too worried. If the internet stops being a thing, we'll just go back to physical media. I imagine there will be huge data storages that sell USBs and DVDs containing specific data people are looking for, so any time I'd want to watch a movie or something I would go to my network of friends and start copying.

  • That notice must've been brand new because it wasn't there when I looked haha

  • This is how I feel about ultra-slim laptops that only have USB-C ports. I don't care if it needs to be 10% thicker, I want a usable port damn it!

  • I swear 50% of Mastodon's feed is just people having mass hysteria about AI and not understanding how any of it works

    Also constantly getting baited about how AI is definitely the reason global warming is happening despite, you know, waves to virtually everything running on fossil fuels

    1. It's more compatible with almost every software.
    2. Most companies that run windows also use things on the Microsoft stack like MS Teams, MS Office, etc. These don't have proper alternatives for Linux.
    3. It's familiar for everyone working in the company.

    I don't know what company you're in but imagine how bad the average person is in using a computer. Asking people to use Linux is a no-go.

  • Okay man, we get it. You like Bluesky. You've posted at least 10 articles of people moving from X to Bluesky.

  • Blood of Zeus is an obvious one

  • Community name does not check out /s

  • I thought I read this before, and sure enough it's a follow up to a 2023 article

    TL;DR: 21 year old national guard leaked classified documents on Discord for attention and got caught for it. Nice work.

  • We've known this for a while. LLMs are a dead end, lots of companies have tried throwing more data at it but it's becoming clear the differences between each model and the next are getting too small to notice, and none of them fix the major underlying issue that chat models keep spreading BS because it can't differentiate between right and wrong

  • Yup, things have definitely improved, especially with more extremist instances like lemmygrad being defederated and phased out. I do also want to give a shoutout to the devs for not pushing their stance and letting the platform grow naturally.

  • Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views.

    I mean that's basically the crux of it. That, and some moderation drama, and the software being very buggy a year ago giving people a bad first impression, and Lemmy still being susceptible to spam.

    It'll take some time before Lemmy (and the Threadiverse as a whole) improves its reputation and moves on from the "it's a tankie website" take. That said, a lot of people in that thread are making the case for Lemmy, so it's mostly just people worried it's not as popular.

  • That depends on app developers, not MS. Having apps actually work through a translation layer would ease a lot of people's problems when transitioning to ARM though.

  • If they did this from the start it might've sounded fine, but now it just feels like they're trend-chasing after Apple Intelligence...

  • I'm for making a megathread for people who really want to talk about it here but I genuinely don't understand why you're upset you can't talk about US politics everywhere in the platform. There are tons of communities for that. AskLemmy is for

    open-ended, thought provoking questions

    Instead, most US related posts are for venting and complaining. See these communities instead:

    !politics@lemmy.world

    !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world

    !leftism@lemmy.world

    !politicalhumor@lemmy.world

    !news@lemmy.world

    And dozens of similar communities on other instances. It's not censorship to ask you to go to use the proper channels, not everyone here wants to see US news everywhere.

  • I remember the series on Newgrounds, it's a fun time.

    RIP Edd. Gone way too soon.
