Oh, funny, I also have sentient AI at home that I developed, but choose not to release it. My mom also created one accidentally while baking a cake but it was to powerful and she also decided to best destroy it like it never existed. You know, for everyones safety.
According to Wikipedia, they basically have no representative nowhere… I would rather vote for a more established party which actually has the power do influence the decision. Surely there must be one mainstream party that has the same stance.
Pardon my ignorance, but physical cards are tap-to-pay since it exists, no smartphone needed, and as a bonus, you don’t need to think about your battery dying before you need to buy something. It’s a problem of extreme convenience, not something you depend on in any way. An alternative could also be a smartwatch, which you can set up tap-to-pay on, so you can have a custom ROM on your smartphone and pay with your wrist.
Can we prevent this on the EU level? It really is just killing independent competition.
I, as the owner of my device, don’t want to wait 24h.
I hope this will popularize the ROM community again. It gradually faded out due to mainstream ROMs having every perk of the custom ROMs but now the custom ROMs can start offering freedom, which no official ROM will offer.
Expired domains have “cooldowns” because this would be a security issue, if suddenly, overnight, because someone forgot to extend their domain, there is suddenly a new owner. This means, after the domain is expired, you usually have a grace period where you still have the chance to extend it before someone else “snatches” it under your nose.
They are trained to achieve goals. If your goal ist to win a war, but also not kill anyone… its incompatible.
I seriously don’t understand how anyone would expect any other outcome. It has a goal - to win, or not to lose. What is the logical way to have the highest probability of winning? Use strongest weapon. You wouldn’t expect it to tell you how to build a rain catchment and filter system when you tell it your thirsty.
I think the focus is digital media, and in that space media is the short of multimedia.
Media is more audio, video, image. Which fits social media.
Most forums and blogs are text-based or primary text. There is no blog sharing only images/videos/audio as posts. Also no such forum.
That would be my key differentiation - forums and IRC is social, but not really media.
Not monotonous but non-creative. Any machine can do non-crative work. No machine can do creative work. You don’t need creativity to farm food, you do need creativity to invent new medicine.
In an average company that isn’t scaled worldwide, usually the cost of labour is 40-50% (paying wages). This means if we replace humans with robots, doing repetitive and non-creative work, we can make stuff cheaper by a lot. OFC unless the company boss, who is then left alone with all the profits, just decides to keep the prices with no people he needs to pay anymore.
You are right. According to the definition of social media, Lemmy is social media. However, “social media” would by definition fit any kind of digital communication media. A forum, or a blog, or an IRC channel are also, by definition, social media.
I would argue that the social media has a distinct association with Facebook, Instagram and the diverse spawns of those, and by association doesn’t fit anything else. At best, we simply lack a different term, which splits “old-school” stuff like forums and blogs. I view lemmy more like a forum. You have categories, and users can go into categories to start discussions. You don’t follow anyone. People also don’t create and post their own content, but rather seek discussions or share other stuff from the internet. Your goal is not reach, follow count or like count.
It is social media, but it’s definitely nothing like Facebook. We simply lack a better term.
It would be great if people stop using social media in general.
If you have browser with search suggestions enabled, everything you type in URL bar gets sent to a search engine like Google to give you URL suggestions. I would not be surprised if Google uses this data to check what it knows about the domain you entered, and if it sees that it doesn’t know anything, it sends the bot to scan it to get more information.
But in general, you can’t access a domain without using a browser which might send that what you type to some company’s backend and voila, you leaked your data.
“Default” is basically Ubuntu. By “default” I mean you can use most things without needing to ever think about which desktop environment do I have, which package manager I have etc… it “just works”. It is very bad for average Joe if it says “Linux app” and then you can’t install it using apt because it’s available only in another package manager.
It looks like you can’t install Linux apps onto Linux. What kind of message does that send to the broad consumer market?
It’s not the use case I am referring to - I am speaking about modern day games. As long as Linux is ignored by the gaming companies making AAA titles, it will never be a real option for the entire gaming community. An average gamer doesn’t know nor want to spend time setting up everything and hoping nothing breaks when the OS/layer/game gets the next update. It should be “Install” and then play without ever really thinking about any underlying tech.
It’s not bitching if it’s true. Nextcloud has really poor performance alone, it tries to do to many things at once and none of it ends up being good. It was amazing for it’s time and it’s idea but it simply doesn’t scale, not technically, not with time. They need to redo the architecture and probably move to something better performing than PHP. I never heard anyone in any environment even considering PHP as an option in 2025.
Same reason there is a sticker on car batteries that says “Not for drinking”.
Plain ol’ spreadsheet.
