Im very happy to see people aren’t downplaying what a shitty guy he is here.

Like the way you treat your employees and the people you work with is shit that actually matters.

I don’t give a shit if someone is clumsy for entertainment, I give a shit when their workspace is a good ol boys club, sweatshop, and then when they decide to threaten a defamation lawsuit against a former female employee they brought in under very suspect circumstances in the first place all because they couldn’t find evidence within their company they admit has an awful HR department.

Just a fucking mess, and I hate that shitty people just succeed nowadays.

Its not the users fault at all.

That is insane behaviour, and part of why every desktop app should be a flatpak

Nor do any llms I’ve ever seen that is immediately accessible.

It also doesnt matter. AI isn’t killing anyone with those any more than call of duty lobbies are killing people.

people using ai tools for things they’re not good for and then calling the tool bad generally as opposed to bad for said task do a disservice to any real issues currently surrounding the topic such as environmental impact, bias, feedback loops, the collapse of Internet monetization and more.

As humorous as this sounds, this is not at all how battery chemistries works.

Some chemistries just charge faster than others.

for the common types of Lion or Lipo batteries, they max out pushing 2C which is around 30 minutes.

For something like LTO, where you lose capacity/density, you can get that up to like 4C (very rough numbers here as this all depends on the temperature of the battery while charging, age and other factors).

So like… this could have been accurate if this was referring to switching to LTO, but afaik, no one makes LTO batteries in this form-factor (not that it can’t be done though).

Is that why most politicians, musicians, comedians etc, still treat it as their main platforms to get info out? Because they don’t take it seriously?

The big problem is actually that they do. That social inertia works so slowly that they didn’t.

That some random crypto company making Bluesky was the closest to a solution, and it looks like it will also have some power crazed person leading it.

Gotta say this difference seems very arbitrary. He bought a company, and platform. Both direct how people spend their time. A platform is obvious but a company, he directs what the people who work there work on. Its definitely a match to somewhere far past where money buys you things.

No, that was absolutely that. Do you not think he gained a massive amount of control with that?

Oh nowadays you can get 26tb drives pretty affordably, so a 4 bay NAS could be getting you 50TiB now.

Of course most people don’t need all that though… including me honestly but hey, that data isn’t going to collect itself.

pretty sure that’s meant in a light hearted fashion

Imagine not having a double digit bay NAS with triple digit Tebibytes of space.

Alternatively, your setup is kinda slow and you’re kinda lazy (not used pejoratively).

In what way? You don’t own anything on the fediverse. The people who run the various instances do.

Maybe they even have a TOS that says you own it, but then what? its still up to them to continue to host it, and they have no contract with you.

Unless you are self hosting your own instance, and only count what is on that, you own no more than with larger social media sites.

To be clear, I think that federations certainly are better than monolithic sources for a variety of reasons for real people, but they aren’t a solution for ownership.

They even want their boots to be free labour.

Are you like… just not reading the parts where I explain how these are massively different situations?

2 things can be bubbles while being massively different in the forces at play.

Truly, I think some people really think that if something they said is unpopular that should mean they should shut up, or they’re wrong.

All it means is that the thing was unpopular. A lot of unpopular opinions are just completely correct, but old ways are entrenched etc etc.

I dont think I misunderstood, I think you’re thinking that this would make places dark where they shouldnt be or light up a whole country or something, but thats not how it could work

No. The housing crash really started to go off when regular people could not pay their bills. These arent regular folks here. These are mega corporations.

Just enough to do the job at the lowest cost to produce”?

While at the highest cost to purchasers (tax payers)

This is in a category I’d like to call hopebait. People so badly wish things they feel are bad simply stopped themselves, that they’ll upvote anything that appears to confirm this.

In this instance, there is nothing of substance in this article to suggest the end of anything is anywhere near in sight.

One guy, who makes bets constantly, made another bet.
