  • People Hate AI Art

    Jump

  • As much as I agree with the author, I'm almost positive he's wrong about the majority of people hating AI art. It's ubiquitous at this point, and by its nature that means tons of people are using it themselves. And, as long as it remains free, people are going to keep doing so.

    Maybe that will change when physical reality overtakes hype-driven economics. Until then I can only hope AI art gets looked at the same way clipart was in the early 2000s someday soon. It is unbearably cringe.

    Bovino what?

  • Responding to the OP's comment. Not sure why you think caring about polls and caring about what people think are different somehow. A poll is literally a measure of what people think about something

    Trump supporter apologizes for not heeding the warnings, still a Republican

  • Do you have a list of the MAGA influencers that were revealed to be posting from other countries? I looked around and couldn't find anything specifically about her.

  • AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output

    Jump

  • It depends on the subject area and your workflow. I am not an AI fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but I have found the chatbot interface to be a better substitute for the "search for how to do X with library/language Y" loop. Even though it's wrong a lot, it gives me a better starting place faster than reading through years-old SO posts. Being able to talk to your search interface is great.

    The agentic stuff is also really good when the subject is something that has been done a million times over. Most web UI areas are so well trodden that JS devs have already invented a thousand frameworks to do it. I'm not a UI dev, so being able to give the agent a prompt like, "make a configuration UI with a sidebar that uses the graphql API specified here" is quite nice.

    AI is trash at anything it hasn't been trained on in my experience though. Do anything niche or domain-specific, and it feels like flipping a coin with a bash script. It just throws shit at the wall and runs tests until the tests pass (or it sneakily changes the tests because the error stacktrace repeatedly indicates the same test line as the problem).

  • MAGA world heads left spinning by Trump’s warm welcome for Mamdani

    Jump

  • I didn't see that word in there. I did see something like "stupid sack of shit" but I don't recall seeing that specific slur. Maybe I missed it, can't see the link anymore though.

  • MAGA world heads left spinning by Trump’s warm welcome for Mamdani

    Jump

  • Honest question: where is there a slur in that link? I'm not sure if I'm just missing it or if there's a word I don't know is considered a slur now in there.

  • Trump threatens China with cooking oil embargo over soybean snub

  • When your entire manufacturing process is run on the back of slaves, the product is cheap enough that the shipping cost doesn't matter.

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

    Jump

  • I don't think you can advocate for anything even remotely on the "right" in political discussions anymore unless you mean MAGA. That well is so poisoned at this point that everyone is going to assume you're a MAGA troll wearing a mask the second you voice any right-leaning opinion.

    It's pretty unfortunate. There are plenty of "live and let live" types in the US that identify informally as libertarians and would make great allies.

  • Yes. And so much stupider.

  • No, the drop safety thing was "fixed" a while back. This is about a class action suit due to the reports of uncommanded discharges in holsters.

    You need more than help

    Jump

  • This does not appear to be true. There was a bit of budget fuckery, and the state was certainly impacted by tariffs/deportation/bullshit caused by Trump, but there doesn't appear to be anything to back up this tweet.

    Not a mod, but this violates rule #3 and should probably be removed:

    Posts should use high-quality sources, and posts about an article should have the same headline as that article. You may edit your post if the source changes the headline.

    There's a jillion real things to post about here. No need to spread misinformation just because it sounds like something you'd want to be true.

  • Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts

    Jump

  • Employees have to pay for basically everything in the US, so salaries have to be a lot higher here. School, childcare, healthcare, retirement, you name it. Also, all those things are more expensive here because they're provided by companies that need to make a profit. It sucks.

  • Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts

    Jump

  • Listed salaries are almost always what the employee pays, not what it costs the company. In the US, this includes the payroll tax, and cost of "benefits," like healthcare and unemployment insurance, and is referred to as the burdened rate. This is separate from the income tax the employee has to pay to the government, mind you.

    The burdened rate for most employees at the companies I've worked for in the US is like 20-50% higher than the salary paid. Not sure exactly how it works in France, but I do know there's a pretty complex payroll tax companies have to pay. I think it's something like 40% at the salary you quoted.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if you know this, but...that doesn't fix most of the security issues in the linked list. All the reverse proxy does is handle hostname resolution and TLS termination (if you are using TLS). If the application being proxies still has an unauthenticated API, anyone can access it. If there's an RCE vulnerability in any of them, you might get hacked.

    I run Jellyfin publicly, but I do it behind a separate, locked-down reverse proxy (e.g., it explicitly hangs up any request for a Host header other than Jellyfin's), in a kubernetes cluster, and I keep its pod isolated in its own namespace with restricted access to everything local except to my library via read-only NFS volumes hosted on a separate TrueNAS box. If there is any hack, all they get access to is a container that can read my media files. Even that kind of bothers me, honestly.

    The overwhelming majority of Jellyfin users do not take precautions like this and are likely pretty vulnerable. Plex has a security team to address vulnerabilities when they happen, so those users would likely be a lot safer. I appreciate the love for FOSS on Lemmy, but it is scary how little most folks here acknowledge the tradeoffs they are making.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • All I can say is that is not at all like my experience with Jellyfin. Every person I've ever shared it with wanted to go back to Plex. Most complaints had to do with the jankiness of the various apps. Lots of issues with the UIs acting funny, a few connection drops, and some settings not getting respected. I do also recall an episode of Severance that would not stream in the correct color space in Jellyfin but worked perfectly in Plex.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm not interested in setting all that up and maintaining it for every user I share with. For myself, this is exactly how I access Jellyfin remotely, but I am not explaining to my remote family members how to set up a VPN on their TV.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • If you want to be on the hook for all IT requests from folks you share with, this is a fine approach. There are people out there who honestly don't have a problem with that and more power to them. I doubt they are the majority, and a lot of selfhosters completely ignore this aspect of software. There is a reason non-free services exist beyond just "capitalism bad." I mean, capitalism indeed bad, but your time is worth something.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • This will affect any server that does not already have a Plex Pass/ Lifetime Plex Pass. If your server does not have one, your remote users will have to pay. The service Plex provides is still worth it though, it largely just works on dozens of platforms and that shit isn't free to make.

    Sharing a Jellyfin server with others remotely is still a lot more complicated than it needs to be to compete (no, it's not as simple as opening a port, and if you think so then you're either lucky or you aren't sharing with lots of folks). I run both and I would never try to share Jellyfin with non-technical people. Honestly, I wish Jellyfin would start offering an optional paid relay service to fund their development. They could use the revenue to improve their app ecosystem and still produce mostly open-source software. Homeassistant does this with Nabu Casa and it's great!

    That being said, the new Plex Android app kinda sucks ass. If there was anything that would make me switch it wouldn't be having to pay for software, or services it'd be a garbage experience on my most common platform.

  • Over 250,000 Americans Urge Congress to Begin Impeachment Proceedings Against President Trump

    Jump

  • There is zero reason to follow the formal rules of order in Congress anymore. They should start with refusing to yield time and go as far as simply not acknowledging the Republicans as valid members of the various subcommittees.

    A whole lot of the congressional rules are completely made up traditions. Ignoring them has always been an option. Canings on the house floor are also an option.

    Dems have been taking the high road and losing for over a decade. They need to get dirty.
