Sure, an American invented libraries, totally /s
Nope. The actual purpose functionality seems unclear to me.
Edited.
Wait, didn't Starmer and co want to "AI" everything like last week? I thought the UK were going to be world leaders in "AI".
Oh snap yeah, they're broke.
This exactly. With a federated app store, how would users verify that apps hadn't been tampered with? Federation isn't a one size fits all solution.
And yes, "a future Fediverse OS" isn't a potential, it's a hallucination.
Per the article,
This brand new REPLICAart Series U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 figure […] is based on the iconic design from the 2009 film, Star Trek, meticulously replicates the NCC-1701’s appearance and intricate details.
Within the last few years, and particularly the last few months, we’ve heard this refrain: AI is the reason for an abuse committed by a corporation, military, or other powerful entity.
Oh, how does that '70s IBM memo run again? But this is both the allure — perhaps even a selling point — as well as the Achilles heel of "AI". When companies and authorities let it make decisions, they do so with the illusion that nobody is responsible for the consequences of those decisions.
The "AI" bros will have us know that as a technology, it is totally neutral. "It's just maths, you can't regulate maths". Yet they attribute faculty and agency to algorithms that acquits their users from responsibility, while denying the responsibility to the people whose work the algorithms are trained on.
Hopefully this first wave of realisation — that trusting faulty statistical implementations to do humans' work always come at a greater cost than the projected savings — will be the last. We need a good Butlerian Jihad so we can get back to our actual, global problems.
TBF, the device isn't out yet, so I'd think making a custom ROM would be premature. Your other comment makes me think twice about buying Oneplus again, though.
I got a lot of mileage out of my OP6, so perhaps the last model to receive a custom ROM would serve me fine for a couple of years.
I repressed that. Most of what I remember from that book is about the killer robot dog that is really a Good Boy. Also, never to buy a set of VR glasses from Mark Zuckerberg.
Huh. So the future we're living in is Minority report but instead of precog copaganda it's petty commercial entities excluding you on the basis of old tweets.
Plume isn't currently actively maintained, unfortunately. It's right below the fold of the page you linked 😞
As for customisability, I think writefreely has some different themes to choose from, they're just hidden away in the docs or on github.
So, I was probably (one of) the first to post that “Pixelfed leaks private posts” thing on here? I first wrote a long reply to this, but it sort if got away from me. The short version would be,
A) sure, the fediverse has a bullying problem in the sense that people do, and that that is usually exacerbated in any online comment field. People are awful, and that includes me, you, Dansup, and anybody reading this. We're also usually pretty brilliant when nobody's looking.
B) despite what I write above, I don't take bullying lightly. I am really uncomfortable with how you use the generally phrased headline to address this specific case. You're not writing about the fediverse as such, you're casting Dansup as a victim.
C) Dan's up, Dan's down, Dan's a victim, Dan's throwing a fit online and then deleting the tweets. As you cite in OP, some people attribute all sorts of unrelated evil to him. Most of all, my impression is Dansup has as a hard time separating from his role as main developer on Pixelfed, Loops, etc, as online commenters has separating his work from (perceived) personal faults.
D) let's imagine those projects were fully open sourced and developed by the community already. Would we be in the same situation here? Again, resorting to ad hominem bullying in online discussion is unacceptable, but I do question that Dansup is an unequivocable victim. Nor is he an evil mastermind who has engineered this situation to garner pity. He just seems to be extremely hard working, with a generous pinch of need for control of his projects.
Spectacular answers
Look, I'm optimistic about the new season until proven wrong, but even I wince at that kind of hollow hyperbole. The episode previews have been promising enough that I'll be happy if the season arc is cohesive and sticks the landing.
Unfortunately, I also know that it's when RTD aims for "spectacular" he tends to lose sight of the basics.
I've seen Japanese artist deleted their account because they mistaken a joke towards their art as hate comment.
Yikes! I wanted to comment that it would be clear that you're using a translation service of some kind if you reply in a different language from the post, and the other part might take that into consideration — but clearly that isn't a given.
Not with crypto you're not, "bruh". We have seen not once, not twice, but in a rolling news cycle since 2021 that cryptocurrencies are a scam. When somebody shows you who they are ... well, we're way past the first time here.
Along with the inherent speculation incentive required for a new crypto token to take off, there is the real world consequence of power hungry data centres with an outsized carbon emissiin footprint. Yes, there were developments to cut back the power usage, but I leave you to look up the rebound effect.
I'll give you the benefit of doubt here and assume your intentions are the best, but by 2025 any attempt at improving economic systems with blockchain seems quite misguided.
Hey, people aren't buying the "get rich quick" hype anymore, let's roll back cryptocurrency onboarding to the idealistic, antiauthoritarian hype and catch us some new suckers.
Or — radical idea here, I know — stop playing with digital Monopoly money and fight capitalism.
Judging from the video thumbnail, I'm going to guess this youtuber says no, they aren't.
"Gemini" — I assume this is the aRtIfIcIaL SuPeR aSsIsTaNt from google? If so
We wound up watching "Rose", "Dalek", "Bad wolf" and "The parting of the ways" (would have taken "The long game" as well but we watched it this weekend). It's not a bad one-night speed run through the show's first (modern) year!
I'm amazed how well the early episodes have aged, all things considered. Sure, the effects are occasionally dodgy by current standards, but — bearing in mind that we skipped the farting Slitheen this time — actually not terrible.
And although some of the writing tics have become a bit too familiar by now, there was still some substance to the finale double whammy in '05.
I was never a big fan of Rose Tyler, but in most of these episodes she holds her own fairly well. Billie Piper fares even better, considering this was her first acting job(?). Eccleston is ...fantastic. Love how he balances big comedy acting with subtle character bits. I'll welcome him back any day.
Whut. I mean, probably, but not in this thread?
