What is the problem with techno-solutionism? Is it just that under capitalism techno-solutionism often results in corruption? Is the development of lemmy not techno-solutionism (to the enshittification of reddit)?
polite leftists make more leftists
more leftists make revolution

hmm, I added GApps to my LineageOS, which includes Google Play Services.


You can use LineageOS on your existing non-pixel android phone, instead of purchasing a pixel.


this is exactly why google should have been broken up.


I use LineageOS. Will this affect me? I’m getting unclear answers. Someone told me that the apps will be forced to verify the OS.


they drove emulator developer Near/Byuu to suicide. That’s someone who created BSNES / Higan (the first fully-accurate snes emulator), and helped with the fan translations for many games including mother 3.


If the world goes to shit but Kiwi Farms is destroyed, I will have a moticum of warmth in my blood.


The user content on fandom is generally pretty good, at least for the wikis I frequent. It’s everything else about the site which is awful – the pop-ups, the completely irrelevant auto-playing videos, how it’s constantly trying to shove other fandom wikis into your attention.
I’m sure the site is improved with userscripts and such, and I am already using adblock, but it’s pretty unforgivable IMO.


Important context: he’s not suggesting AIs writing content for Wikipedia. He’s suggesting using AI to provide feedback for new editors. Take that how you will.


That doesn’t seem right. By my calculations it should be like 5¢. Can you show your work?
Edit: didn’t read. You said “per thousand requests.”


For reference, this is roughly equivalent to playing a PS5 game for 4 minutes (based on their estimate) to 10 minutes (their upper bound)

Typical PS5 usage: 200 W
TV: 27 W - 134 W → call it 60 W
URI’s estimate: 18 Wh / 260 W → 4 minutes
URI’s upper bound: 48 Wh / 260 W →10 minutes
Exactly what this comic is saying. C++ can handle in 20 minutes what takes python 12 hours, but something gets destroyed.


this will work until every country does this.


I don’t agree that zionism is anti-semitic per se, because it’s possible to be a zionist without implying all jews are zionists.


As pointed out on hackernews, this is likely attributed to (a) decrease in desktop usage by non-linux-users, and (b) the gaming hardware industry embracing linux (steam deck etc.)


yeah, this is why I’m #fuck-ai to be honest.


The notion that AI is half-ready is a really poignant observation actually. It’s ready for select applications only, but it’s really being advertised like it’s idiot-proof and ready for general use.


may well be a Gell-Mann amnesia simulator when used improperly.


In the situation outlined, it can be pretty effective.
Everyone here is either on the side of hating big AI companies or hating IP law. I proudly hate both.
