I fear that Skyblivion will totally get a C&D now that Bethesda is selling their own remake :(

I use LLMs for some things and they are great, but to be honest, I haven’t seen any real world usage of blockchains besides cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

Saudi Arabia isn’t a person.

Yes, it is. In an autocratic monarchy, in a dictatorship, everything belongs to the king. The house of Saud is treating the country as their personal property and let’s not pretend that anything would prevent the guy who killed a journalist in his embassy from accessing that data.

Just FYI: Data is from May till June 2023. Musk took over Twitter end of Oct. / Nov 2022. A lot of stuff has happened since then, so that study can’t tell you much about the current X

People here like to shit on AI, but it has its use cases. It’s nice that I can search for “horse” in Google Photos and get back all pictures of horses and it is also really great for creating small scripts. I, however, do not need a LLM chatbot on my phone and I really don’t want it everywhere in every fucking app with a subscription model.

To be honest, most other websites are not better, we are just used to them. Google? TikTok? Bing? Reddit? Yahoo? X? Twitter? ChatGPT? DuckDuckGo? XNXX?

But i am afraid of people messing up their devices and blaming me

Just to be clear: If your script messes up somebodys device, no licence in the world will keep them from blaming you ;)

I really don’t want to connect my reddit username & the subreddit in question to this post.

I have Audio-CDs from the 80s that are still playing 40 years later. And I have CDs with deep scratches that also play without problems.

Well, that’s an absolute no-go and thanks for reminding me to never buy one of their products

Yes and no. First of all, there is nobody who wants to take over. So the option is “abandon it” vs. “kill it”. Reddits actions in regard of their mods do have consequences. And it also doesn’t belong to the community as Reddit is actively claiming ownership. So to take your church analogy: The pastor wants to quit. The bishop claims ownership and control of everything, is actively harming the community, but can’t provide a replacement priest.

And in my opinion it is better to stop projects like this instead of abandoning them as abandoned places & subreddits will get taken over by spammers, crazy people and full on nazis.

It’s already here :)

TBH, it does make sense: Posting a legitimate comment and then editing it after a while is a popular tactic of spammers. Post something, get the top spot and after the post has gone out of the popular queues, edit in your personal spam links and profit from all the sweet traffic coming via Google -> Reddit -> Your site

Yes, you are doing something different here, but for an automated moderating system that looks exactly like a spam attack. Overwrite existing comments with the same post & edit in an external link.

And sadly you need those automated tools as a Reddit mod and if Lemmy is keeping it’s growth, we will need them here, too. Spammers will come and they totally will overwhelm moderators trying to do it manually.

I run a small thinclient (HP Mini G400, but those small Lenovos thinkcentres and others also work) in my home. Cost me ~100€ plus a few Euro for a RAM update and a bigger hard drive and now I’m running Proxmox with the help of the Community Scripts:

It’s quite awesome, to be honest.

I mean… why wouldn’t all that is happening not have a effect on sales? Musk is the face of Tesla and Musks image has totally gone downhill for lots of people. He’s gone from “techbro genius” to “fascist” in a few months (!) in the public image and there is really not reason to doubt, that this won’t have an effect on sales.

I mean, evolution kind of might work around the ozone layer being gone. People just need to have children before the skin cancer kills them and that’s totally possible. Might be good if the parents don’t die when the kids are too little.

Evolution really doesn’t care about your personal well-being and won’t help you. It might “evolve” the human race to get children earlier in their teens, because everybody over 30 is dead from skin cancer and microplastics, but maybe the better solution is to use something different in hair spray and fridges.

It makes sense that there still are physical games. There are many people with no internet or slow internet. You can gift them to your children or friends on their birthday. You can sell them/pass them on after you’ve finished the game

Many models on Thingiverse and Printables are released under a CC-licence, so it would be possible to use that as a basis for an independent model database or some kind of decentralized fediverse STL databank, however that would work

Be the chance you want to see in the world and email him?

I don’t think phone makers are that close to ad companies

Google?
