What a banger

That sounds like a really dumb design idea. Why make a federating protocol if you still rely on the server? I don’t even get why they did it at all then.

That’s indeed very interesting and peculiar.

For me it’s 4 Lemmy results and then 2 reddit results and after than chaos ensues.

That’s fair, but I would prefer that over Linkin Park sounding like a completely different band.

Or Dream State, where 3/5 members got switched out and they stuck to the name, and now they sound completely different.

Hot take: I hate when bands switch their singer or a lot of their members and still stick to the old band name.

The only reason to do it is to get the instant reach, but you will always be sandbagging on a name that means something else and a lot of fans will only compare your new lineup to the old one.

Making a new band name means you have to start fresh, but sometimes you can already take some relationships and prestige into your new project (Mike shinoda is a household name outside of Linkin park) and no one will expect a specific style out of you. It just feels like the better thing to do in most circumstances.

I’m torn. I wanna like them and I wish them the best, but this name brings back memories and also expectations. It sticks like tar to every new release and even though that’s not fair, it won’t change until they rebrand into something new.

what a retard

Probably didn’t need the personal insult. Reddit with it’s CEO huff and puffmann is basically as bad as it gets, so I’m happy about every competition. Obviously Lemmy is doing way better but I’d be happy for Discuit to do well too.

I mean if there’s a time to test it out, it’s right now I would argue.

Lemmy is still small enough to test those things.

Yes. I didn’t list blender because blender is kind of a unique case. An open source tool that basically slowly became industry standard? That’s a 1 in a million from what I’ve seen. But: as soon as you get professional, like I said, all the plugins and additional software will cause headaches, provided it works at all. The tools I listed there afaik do not have native support / are very unstable on Linux, although I haven’t confirmed it.

But yeah I get your point, and it is quite the accomplishment to the blender devs that they made it this far, tho it is not the rule.

Yes and people sell Linux to my like “either it works out of the box or it takes like 1google search” and that’s polar opposite from my longer experience on Linux.

For work I had to set up an Ubuntu VM. Ubuntu is one of the most stable OS variants. But: it literally started throwing system application errors after 2h from a fresh install. We thought it was a one time thing or that we did something wrong so we tried again. The OS disk image was official and our VM Software was Virtual box. Both are supposed to be stable. And still, the OS started crying 2h in every time.

Or another time where I had to find scanner drivers and I lost it. 5h of searching and tinkering, I had to rewrite scripts I found which didn’t work, had to add package manager repositories to my system, and try to look for 15y+ old forum posts which get very technical but also not really in depth. For a fucking scanner.

And then that time aI wanted to install some software (I think maybe Skype) from the official Ubuntu store. But it just wouldn’t work. Everyone else apparently had no issues online. Everyone except for me. Tried to install it through downloading an archive and when that didn’t work I installed it through the terminal apt-get. It still wouldn’t work iirc.

Or that time I had an Ubuntu VM for like half a year and applications started to hang and the system started getting random issues.

Or that time Linux system just threw errors on every system upgrade (same happened to updates).

This is a reoccurring thing and this toxic Linux positivity will only make more people mad when things are not as promised and they realize they are fucked.

Yeah wtf

• Try producing decent music on Linux: run into issues with DAWs and plugins.
• try 3d anything more advanced on Linux: any fluid or gas simulation gets annoying real quick (real flow, Houdini, vray, octane)
• try layouting / handout design on linux: yeah let’s hate on Adobe (and I do think they deserve it) but let’s also realize most of the industry runs on their tools and Linux makes it complicated

Either you sacrifice money and freedom, or you sacrifice time and sanity. And I’m sorry, if I wanna do multiple of those things there’s no way around mac or windows. I wish it was different, but it isn’t and we gotta be realistic here.

And yes I see y’all shouting that there’s a way for all of those things through workarounds but: for every of those that works for me, there just as many that don’t work, than just as many that restrict me in different ways, just as many that require documentation that I have to pull out of my ass cause it’s not online, and just as many that make me look for the toenail of a harpy and sauron’s tears to work.

Linux is not a direct alternative to windows, but it’s a lifestyle and a commitment and I’m not out here trying to make it my personality, I want software to work in less than a month of me deciding to install it.

I can see the down votes rolling in on this but I’m tired of ppl selling their lifestyle instead of their OS.

Would love if there was open source software hard budgeted in there on an EU level…

in full compliance with the letter and the spirit of copyright law

That is some real semantic acrobatics. The law is supposed to follow societal norms and reflect boundaries accordingly. Yeah, AI laws take time, and obv there hasn’t been enough legislation done. That said, the EU for example already has a law for AI but the member states need to adapt that into national laws now.

There is law here. And even though I’m sure what they are doing rn will be illegal or at least very heavily regulated in the future, they might be doing something illegal today. Depending on how eager governments are to litigate, this might already get dicey in the coming months.

Yeah that part tripped me up.

“Rolling context window”? You mean one of the universal properties of LLMs in it’s current state? The one that is so big for Google’s latest AI endeavors that they are flexing with it?

It’s hilarious to say that’s a privacy feature. It’s like calling amnesia a learning opportunity.

These claims make me think this is worse than the R1 rabbit or whatever it’s called. Although it’s very difficult to be worse, considering the CEO turned out to be a full-on crypto scammer.

God that’s bad. This is what I’d expected Russian trolls to do on Lemmy before getting down voted into oblivion, but I wouldn’t expect a CEO to do this. This is fucked up.

And because this could just enable government bodies to fuck around with spying, that’s why usually you have to get a warrant for this kinda stuff on the grounds of probable cause.

There’s a few state sponsored media companies that are actually quite reputable. Al Jazeera has generally be seen as pretty neutral on reporting. Although there’s some exceptions, but not as much as one would expect.

It’s like a 6 year old saying “I can stop eating candy! I’ll do it!” Ad after 5 seconds they eat it anyway.

“ignore latest model changes”

Alright I’ll give you that

lawful interception

Idk bout that. Usually you get a warrant for wiretapping and then you pay someone to install it. If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.

Let’s also acknowledge that if encryption is bad because it cannot be broken, that means encryption is pretty good at what it should do.

Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.
