And he's blaming the anti defamation league...

When companies maximize profits they call it smart and good business. When employees try to increase their wages they call it greedy and bad business.

I wouldn't even call unions socialist, I think they're more like a capitalist tool for workers, so those that are already rich get to benefit from capitalism and socialism while workers benefit from neither.

It's still called programming, coding is the same thing. Assembler more commonly refers to the utility program that converts the assembly code to machine code while assembly refers to the code itself, but the term assembler code is also valid. It's uncommon to simply call the code assembler because it would be easily confused with the utility program.

They're all con artists. The people buying them were trying to scam someone else.

You could know absolutely everything about building computers and still know absolutely nothing about sim racing rigs. Knowing some domains doesn't make you an expert at all domains. He could reach out to an expert for areas he's not familiar with but he's more concerned about clickbait and shitting out videos as quickly as possible.

IMO it's by far the worst on any apple product. I tried to help my mom organize some photos and it drove me absolutely fucking insane trying to figure out where the photos app stored things.

I learned about Lemmy by finding a Reddit alternatives post on Reddit. People need to find out somehow. This can also get covered by blogs and other social media network posts. I think the net effect will cause more people to find out about Lemmy and leave Reddit, so it's a temporary one off engagement that leads to much more disengagement from users who leave after finding an equivalent alternative.

They did that back in the day too.

AI cannibalism simply isn't a thing yet. It definitely will be and good models will need to spend a lot of time and money sourcing good training data, but the models are not up to date enough to be contaminated yet.

I'm very confident the degradation has come from them trying to scale up. Generative AI is the most expensive thing on the cloud you can provide, and not only are they trying to make it faster, they're trying to roll it out for way more consumption. Major optimizations will require an algorithmic breakthrough so in the meanwhile all they can really do is find which corners they can cut that are less bad.

I wanted to buy a small silicone spatula for specific uses, but they were only sold in a set of 5. I was like what am I going to do with that many spatulas but they're super useful and are amazing at scraping and I love having extras so I don't have to constantly wash them.

The hard part is scaling and building a user base, but threads simply bootstrapped both off Instagram so it probably wasn't hard for them to make.

Thanks spez! You sent all the best devs making free programs for your platform to your biggest competitor, plus enough users for it to reach critical mass and allow the snowball effect to grow. And it's FOSS so it can't be stopped!
