That reminds me of the old story where they positioned a PC opposite from the server and taped a pen to the CD drive so that opening the CD tray presses the reset button of the server. The PC would automatically detect when the server freezes and open the CD tray. Probably just a legend but still a great example for how a silly and simple solution that just works can often times be as good if not better than a sophisticated but over engineered solution

That $1 trillion wouldn’t be saved, it would just be missing in some billionaires’ pockets. Which is exactly why this is opposed. What’s 100,000 lives if you could instead make a couple of ultra rich dudes even richer?

From that chart Qobuz seems to be the all round best deal. Is there any catch?

Yes, because just because you bought a book you don’t own its content. You’re not allowed to print and/or sell additional copies or publicly post the entire text. Generally it’s difficult to say where the limit is of what’s allowed. Citing a single sentence in a public posting is most likely fine, citing an entire paragraph is probably fine, too, but an entire chapter would probably be pushing it too far. And when in doubt a judge must decide how far you can go before infringing copyright. There are good arguments to be made that just buying a book doesn’t grant the right to train commercial AI models with it.

Yeah but 2012 is like 5 years ago, right? Right?

Yeah, if your knees are fucked up at 30, you’re probably an athlete and injured your knees multiple times, or obese and overloaded them with too much weight.

He should just jump into the sea and start living with other gay fish

Only a matter of time until he declares himself Holy Roman Emperor. And silly me was under the impression, he’s trying to emulate an entirely different era of German history.

But that’s kind of the point of the Turing test: a true AI with human level intelligence distinguishes itself by not being susceptible to probing or tricking it

General advice regarding open source: even if you tried something out years ago and didn’t like it, it may be well worth giving it another shot. Open source projects often need some time to mature and take their time to improve, but only get better over time.

Then an ethically and sustainably built smart phone isn’t for you, because that won’t be possible at that price point. But that isn’t an issue as there is a sustainable option at that price point: buying second hand.

What exactly is your critique? Do you think news aggregator style social media is an issue in general or is there something that lemmy just doesn’t do good enough?

I thought that he always was an asshole and just dropped the facade, but him once being somewhat sane (as far as billionaires go) and going mad from stress and drug abuse seems like a plausible hypothesis, too. Either way, doesn’t change that he needs to be stopped

I don’t get the point. Framework laptops are interesting because they are modular but for desktop PCs that’s the default. And Framework’s PCs are less modular than a standard PC because the RAM is soldered

The most surprising part to me is the timescale on which this unfolds. It’s been only a month since inauguration and the cracks are already clearly visible. I’d thought it would take at least half a year to a year before shit hits the fan, but they are efficient at being inefficient beyond my wildest imaginations.

Free and open source, but if you’re willing to pay, you could donate to the project.

Welt am Sonntag ist part of the Springer Media Group. They have a long history of pushing populist, conservative and right agendas and publishing Musk’s opinion piece falls perfectly in line with the election meddling they are doing.

I doubt he’s more dangerous than Putin because he seems to be Putin’s puppet, not the other way around. He is however far more popular in the west

No, that’s exactly how resignation works for a chancellor in Germany. The only alternative would be for a new chancellor to be elected by the Bundestag (parlament), but since no candidate would have a majority he resigned by triggering a vote of confidence.
