Disillusioning his base will likely hurt turn out of voters for all right wing candidates. I imagine he wants to siphon some away, but I doubt they’ll vote for him ether.

A lot of these people will just go back to not voting.

”we’ve built a machine to minimize the amount of time people need to spend touching grass.”

“Oh no, someone’s gone insane from not touching grass”

I can’t imagine how much it sucks for him to be dealing with this, but also, he’s been a major backer of the technology and pushing for it to be used in places it really shouldn’t be. Sort of ironic.

Shocker, people who move heaven and earth in their personal lives to achieve a socially difficult thing are pretty sure about wanting that.

Free speech is the right to say what you believe without facing legal consequences from the government, not the right to publish what ever other people say uncritically, especially when what they’re publishing is directly inciting real harm to the public.

Their current moderation stance is akin to allowing people to shout “fire!” In a crowded public space.

If you want a serious answer ask a serious question. Not an absurd and ghoulish hypothetical.

We don’t need to. We just need to stop letting business interests direct economic priority.

Ok, well, guess it won’t be voluntary for much longer.

on IOS I’ve found the mobile web page to be legitimately better than the app, I can do Picture in Picture and listen to it in the background, things the app won’t let you do without paying. For a while it also let me get rid of the shorts shelf, which the app just had no option for, they got rid of that a few months back, but I’ve found that if I mark “not interested” on any shorts it puts up it hides it again for a while.

Also if the ads are getting a bit much I can open it in fire fox focus and I’ve found it block ads completely, I’ve heard from others that Firefox focus doesn’t block YouTube ads for them, but, I’ve never seen a YouTube ad while using it.

Honestly, in general, if something has a web page, I won’t use an app at this point. I’ve had so many experiences with dedicated apps just being worse experiences.

A marginal improvement for a limited use case, and often by having it generate a critical response to the output internally and use that to weed out particularly glaring errors, which, increases the amount of compute used significantly.

Not a revolutionary jump forward in capability. not a trillion dollar industry that justifies this level of investment or obsession.

The really crazy part is that it’s been like that for 4 years now, the models have improved based on arbitrary metrics the people making the models have decided upon, but in terms of real world usability they’re basically the same. Marginal improvement from running it twice to have it check its self, but only a marginal improvement by doubling the compute.

It’s insanity that they’re burning billions upon billions to keep this charade going.

At least with the dot com bubble there was a clear and obtainable use case to match the amount of hype. It got over invested in before it was fully ready, but there was at least an obvious path to something worth the cost of running.

Well, on top of the tens of thousands of volunteer developer hours put in to stuff like wine that they built upon.

I’m aware of things like framework and they’re a cool system, but they’re limited in what chipsets can be used by the mother boards they offer.

I’m thinking in the context of a cheap low spec system that can be handed out for use by a group. Most of the options available are just very pricy.

Maybe something like a SBC would be a better fit since there are plenty of cheap options out there and they can be mounted in a custom built shell with the other needed elements.

A thought that crossed my mind was ordering printed circuit board and just soldering on the sockets and the like, but that’s a very involved process with a lot that could go wrong. Especially for someone with very little experience.

Short of custom ordering from a company that does such things, are there any systems for building a mother board?

This is more out of curiosity about what options there are out there. Any other thoughts people have about custom built laptops or interesting things in that space?

“ See ink cartridges can be vectors for viruses because they have chips in them.”

“Why does a container of ink have chips in it?”

“To make sure you don’t use third party ink cartridges”

I’m looking at various single board computers ( think raspberry pi) to host a server on. Namely for hosting media, an email, and perhaps a web site/fediverse instance/blog/forum on.

I’m under an assumption that a SBC and some hard drives could handle this on the hardware side. Am I totally off the mark? And what kind of os and other soft wear should I consider using?
