DEF CON 32 - Disenshittify or die! How hackers can seize the means of computation - Cory Doctorow
  • i for one have never heard of this guy, i had read this talk but didnt even know the name of the person until just now. i am rather new to super niche internet spaces beyond the bigger niches though so i may not be a good representation.

  • Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?
  • a lot of your issues are effeciency related which i think can realistically be solved given some time for development cycles to take hold on ai. if they were better all around to whatever standard you think is sufficiently useful, would you then think it would be useful? the other side related thing too is that if it can get that level of competence in coding then it most likely can get just as competant in a variety of other domains too.

  • How to use peertube

    id like to make the comment section into a list of ways to use peertube. i know there is grayjay, going to the peertube instance website of your choice, and the peertube app which if i recall isnt completed yet but is expected to be done sometime soon but correct me if im wrong, im sure there are other apps people use for peertube but maybe not, i havent actually looked. As well as how does everyone interact with peertube? Is it mostly following specifically people or more like other fediverse platforms where you just make an account somewhere on a instance you deem worthy and check out the whole peertube userbase, I know each instance is like a whole YouTube website, does that mean that you have to search based on instances to find things or can you search like all vs local or whatever?

    TIL the name of computer "bugs" stuck around because a moth got stuck in a computer component in 1947

  • Threads makes it easier to evangelize the open social web with a new direct link feature | TechCrunch
  • i think you may be mixing federated and small-web feel there. there exists the ability for individuals to have functioning email servers although it is difficult but fair considering how much of the world is reliant upon it and opposing it with various kinds of attacks. i dont thimk it requires many individuals to have their own servers for it to be considered federated, the fact that we have dozens of relatively big email providers to choose from who prioritize various different things is enough to cover the majority of peoples needs and i think that is the threshold requirement for a sufficient self sustaining federated network. regardless of that, if you compare this outcome of email as of present to lets just say a platform like discord whose goal is to facilitate messaging between people, you can evidently say thst emails outcome is better than the proprietary service that discord is locking people into and not making alternatives ways of accessing the service a simpler process.

  • What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation?
  • Yeah it's odd how all these companies are just letting it slip through the cracks like this

  • What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation?
  • The bone comic book series by Jeff Smith completely deserves a movie or show or something. The series is like Tolkien + Disney +metaphysics and is aimed at a younger audience but has enough deep ideas to keep adults actively interested. It has a rich history of the 90s-00s comic book era as well as some history in acholastic book fairs as well as some early internet meme culture contribution. It was solely owned by one dude who eventually got some help from someone who added color to the series that really made it a next level up. If anyone decides to read it from my comment here, check out the omnibus version and if you can find a 20th anniversary version, that has some nice history and behind the scenes type stuff included. There was a Netflix series that was in the works for like a year or so until Netflix decided to cancel it, so it already has some kind of an interest that I hope keeps building up and eventually makes someone do something about this forgotten gem.

  • Olympics conflict of interest news sources
  • Yeah because they have an agreement with certain broadcasters to only give their stuff to them as long as the Broadcasters keep giving them money to exist as the IOC Sorry meant to reply sooner, forgot I had sent this lol

  • Olympics conflict of interest news sources

    Anyone else feeling like there's a conflict of interest by how it's the job of the news businesses to report things about the Olympics while also being the ones who supply money to the olympics, like theya rent going to want to report bad stuff about it because then it says they are supporting that stuff.

    Help watching the olympics in the us

    Idk if I'm just dumb but this is the first time I'm trying to watch the Olympics more closely and it doesn't seem to be so straightforward. I don't have a peacock subscription and it seems like NBC is never showing actually live events even ifnthey say live wo I keep seeing things a day late. I know there are other sources for Canada and UK that I'm not familiar with but then I need to mess with VPN stuff, which is fine but then I'll need to find a good VPN because I don't usually use one. Anyways any help is appreciated!

    who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)

    I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.

    question about how to create communities

    how do you create a community on Lemmy? I'm not necessarily interested in making one and actively maintaining it but just curious.

    Grayjay recently got youtube sponsorblock option

    It seems a bit finicky to me compared to revanced but it does function, may just be a bug, grayjay is still very new and I am surprised at how well it functions already!
