  • This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run

    And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be

    What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?


  • I don’t understand why I get zero choice

    Absolutely agree, I use to get excited for new updates to anything, cuz like “yay new things” or “old things but less buggy”

    But recently I’ve been absolutely sulking over the modern software updating paradigm of shipping perfectly fine updates with completely useless UI changes that absolutely nobody wanted so tech companies can justify having an in-house UI team

    Like my phone, on Android 11 I set the custom color to a really nice red color, i matched it to my wallpaper and everything, I loved it

    And then Android 12 hits, and that lovely red gets replaced with some bologna enthusiast’s spamcore aesthetic

    I’m sorry, Material “You”?. Nah this is Material Somebody Else fr

    And I can’t do anything to change the colors of my own phone

    I hate being a slave to UI teams, let me change the colors atleast, damnit

    I am so close to just rooting my phone ngl










  • Yeah, same here with Infinity

    It was my app of choice and I got so use to it, whenever I go back to it every once and a while, I just remember everything I miss since switching to jerboa

    Biggest one is definitely the smoothness, idk y but jerboa has a subtly noticable stutter every time I swipe around the feeds, whereas Infinity is completely smooth, running at 90hz flawlessly

    And there’s alot of other small QoL and rough-around-the-edges things, too

    The minute that Infinity for Lemmy comes out, if at all, is the minute that I return to my home app



  • They don’t choose what they need to hide, if their government outlaws woodworking tomorrow, then any carpenters today go from “having nothing to hide” to “I need to hide my entire career and hobby” overnight and in their sleep.

    And then the government threatens Facebook to hand over messages from any user suspected of woodworking, and then they get persecuted and arrested

    The government threatens Google to hand over all browser history from suspected woodworkers, Apple for all iCloud photos from suspected woodworkers, Amazon for all woodworking related purchases

    It goes on

    If the carpenter cared about privacy from the start, then the government just wouldn’t be able to find them and arrest them for simply woodworking

    But the carpenter didn’t care about privacy, they “had nothing to hide” yesterday, so when that law goes into effect tomorrow the government will have a really easy time finding them
