It’s quite easy, really. AI makes dumb people feel smart. That’s essentially it, they lived life looking at people who had specific knowledge, or could write well, or be creative, and they never could. Now they press a button and feel like they have talent.
Guess the type of people most often found in management positions…
There’s a Copilot button on the taskbar, notepad and paint. If you still can’t convert users you’re doing pretty bad.
I’ll do what I always do: sigh and add another brand to my “do not buy from” list on my pocket notebook, which was meant to be a single page and is now filling three
This comment thread is not only a perfect example of a joke, but it gets to the core of what humour truly is! Do you want help crafting a poster for you to present your jokes at a conference?
Don’t worry, Lemmy censors security information and passwords automatically, see: ******
to ubiquitous shit-shoveling malware appliances controlled by some of the worst elements of society.
Hmmm, I wonder which background economical system we all live in that could explain why every single technology ends up controlled by the top 1% to make our lives more miserable and their profits higher…
Kate is amazing, which is not surprising given it’s a KDE app
Won’t that just lead to 5 of every topic?
That happens on Reddit even with singular communities. Sure, maybe some topics will come up multiple times.
Also what do you do find new duplicate communities if there were only 4 when you went looking?
Browse the All feed. See a post you like? Check the community. Not subscribed? Subscribe. Simple.
The solution is to not treat communities like official and unique subreddits.
On Reddit there’s the PCGaming subreddit. On Lemmy there are more than five. Subscribe to all, or the most active ones, or the ones you align yourself better with… And that’s it, there’s no need to be concerned about which individual post goes on which individual community for a topic, it will federate and others will read it just fine.
How many months away are we from Windows requiring a subscription to use, with a cheaper version for the OS + Office and a more expensive that also bundles AI?
Here in Brazil there’s a famous brand of chocolate called Baton. The chocolate sells well in general, but lots of kids ask for their eggs during Easter, and they usually come with toy cars or action figures or a water gun or whatever.
In one particular Easter, the eggs came with a toy that was a long cylinder with a smaller, rounded tip at one end.
This cylinder had just one feature: it vibrated a lot when you turn it on.
It also came with a minuscule pen, with almost no ink, you could attach to the device. Their explanation was that it was a fun vibrating pen toy. When asked how’s a pen that vibrates any fun or useful, they had no answer, and why the device was significantly larger than the actual pen, also no answer.
So for Easter that year, kids got a penis-shaped vibrating toy… And a pen.
I want wires everywhere I don’t care fuck wireless signals give me wired headphones, controllers, networks
Me and my homies hate antennas
While I agree older generations are always complaining about the habits of newers ones, always dooming everything, and that progress is good and unavoidable…
…I honestly do think we should sometimes sit down and re-evaluate if older habits have a place and if their criticism can bring some truth. I’ve been moving away from the hyper-connected and convenient modernity we live in and adopting older habits like writing my notes with paper and pen, under a candle light, and it’s honestly been fantastic for me, just as an example.
Monkey’s paw curls. Wish granted: you will live for 10 to the power of 107 years, you’ll outlive every living and non living being, you’ll transcend mortal understanding, you’ll play with the flow of entropy - to see birth and death, hot and cold, to feel the final, guttering pulse of the last black hole as it surrenders its hoarded information to the void.
And you’ll have a little popcorn kernel stuck between your gum and a tooth during this entire time.
Halo is long dead. The brand name is the one thing left.
That really does not address my concerns, not one bit.
Let’s collectively fund an island where we can host Signal, Tor nodes and ThePirateBay in international waters.
There are classical, “best of all time”, titles that an anime lover like you would defintely enjoy. They’re not available on Crunchyroll, they’re not on Amazon Prime, Netflix, you can’t purchase a copy. A few had selected censored releases in VHS, good luck hunting them down.
The thing with piracy is that it’s not just a money saving trick used by teenagers, it’s also the only way to truly watch the media you enjoy regardless of what some media conglomerate thinks - they no longer get to define how, when and what you’re going to watch. You have to do a bit of setup once… yes that sucks, but from that point onwards, you’re free.
Sociologists love making that claim, but it’s not true.
A long childhood followed by extremely experimental puberty is indeed a biological feature of our species.
There have been societies that suppressed childhood due to labor needs, but that came after many more had thrived respecting it.
Modern childhood is indeed new… Compared to western European tradition, not to our species as a whole.
