They all want that. Sam Altman doesn’t want anyone to be able to buy a computer at all. Microsoft wants their cloud to know everything and do everything for everyone.

They want a subscription for it all. They want to takwnyoyr money month after month; for the “privilege” of having access to the things you need to actually manage life in our modern society.

They want to gatekeep survival, pick and choose the winners and take all the spoils.

This guy wants to be the Lemmy equivalent of yeet on Twitter

You’re up past your bed time, child

It probably crashed as they dumped it. How is this bad for them?

“Ekans” is just “Snake” spelled backwards.

“Muk” is just…oh, oh god

I was against concentration camps until I read this article and decided that everyone who works for Palintir should be in one

Sorry for the off-topic comment, but my father had a poster that was very similar to this a long time ago that was a man carrying a TV and looking for a place to plug it in after a nuclear war; is that what this is based on? Do you know the name of that piece of art? I have been trying to find it for decades…

EDIT: Ron Cobb, 1966

I finally found it after all these years; thank you so much! Also your new version is amazing and very apt; sad to learn the original artist passed in 2020 but I think you did his work justice and I hope he would have approved of the message

When food is going to go off, or when an object has developed mildew/black mold, I can tell way before anyone else by smell.

Anyone who has to do object storage is probably fearing the weekend of overtime while labbing out new tunings, but psyched at the potential sequential read performance gains and rebalance relief

Anyone who’s even done Ceph as a hobby knows what I’m talking about

However, it’s looking pretty likely that we’re not infinite…

Perhaps you should review the power that solar panels designed for space flight can draw vs the requirements of a single GPU.

We are not even close to having robust enough solar panels to make this a reality, let alone powering a datacenter full of GPUs.

1. They only have to pay to maintain their QR-session activation system. While this is more costly than Casting was;
2. people will forgot and remain logged in on devices away from home, triggering the “password sharing charge” on their account more often.
3. support doesn’t have to refund that charge since the account was left logged in for an extended period of time at a second location, something which does not occur with Casting.

Also, power. MFers acting like we got dilithium crystals up in here. And yeah, we probably could do Star Trek style ships if we had a way to make power in space…but we don’t, like, at ALL

No, it means “uncle” as in older out of touch; “unc status” is like a lesson harsh “ok boomer”

Hence the comment “here they go trying to change our shit again”

Yeah, no, that guy sounds annoying and I made a joke about it.

Lighten up, I’m not the fuckin mayor of lemmy.

It wasn’t just rage comics and advice animals; it was new atheism, tech bro libertarianism, I Fucking Love Science rationality and skepticism and grammar nazis to boot. Celebrities like Adam Savage were all but worshiped, and Ron Paul was bigger than Jesus if all you went by was the default subs (which are no longer a thing).

Holy fuck don’t mention Lemmy; please don’t mention lemmy to these peasant-brained annoyers (Adam Savage is okay I guess)

Did they haxor your strawberries? Why not buy twice as much cloud compute? It is not an AI tech bro solution, it might work! /s

This is like the 15th time they’ve tried to implement this. The fact that it came up, they were told his is a bad idea, it was shot down, and they STILL want to keep pushing and keep pushing it; what it really aught to tell you is that it’s time to re-evaluate your diagnosis of the EU and its tendencies.

Authoritarianism is on the rise everywhere, because opportunists see vectors to power available everywhere in technology, now that it has firmly propagated among everyday people. They can spread lies and misinformation, and a huge swath of people just fucking buy it. Consent can be manufactured at the drop of a hat.

They can’t allow dissenting opinions or pesky truth tellers to get in the way of their petrofortunes, of their pedo rings, their yachts, their security blankets.

There is a lot of specialized shit that Excel does that calc isn’t up to par on.

You also can’t easily cripple calc with group policy (no pesky macros or external connections, you little babies! Copy and paste or get dead)
