Also the rise of containerised software that is more easily cross platform for self hosting what would once have been cloud only.

If I donate to a project or charity, o would not be happy of my money went to another project I didn’t agree with. Especially when bad things could happen our of their control. It is all risk, no benefit. Advising donators to donate where its needed is better than using their donated funds.

If they donated to a client for a niche device and it turned out there was code in it that gobbled up peoples data without consent it would backfire horribly.

Broken clock.

Mariushosting has a great tutorial for this.

Owned it by forcing everyone to manually install google maps, which they were already using happily? Or owned it by giving a pr spin after the fact? Group messaging via mms still doesn’t work correctly due to iMessage.

Like Apple Maps? Or mms messaging?

It will be slightly different for all, it most posts are on the top 10 instances. Beehaw, hexbear and dbzero are defederated from some instances. So those posts and comments will be absent on instances that don’t federate. Yes, you may miss some content due to that. But you can change instance if its generally content you want to see.

There will be some difference based on voting too, depending on how you sort.

If younspin up an instance and federate within the top instances, you’ll see more content than those instances that have more users but defederate from some. However, community discovery will be lower, so you might miss content in other ways.

Try not to think of content as complete anywhere. You can’t read all comments on any social media. Just participate within communities you like and are federated with.

How do you access lemmy? I use connect for lemmy on iPad and android. It has an option for default sort type for comments and posts. Unfortunately, scaled is not yet an option, since it was introduced in lemmy, but hot and top are options.

I’m surprised they made 440m. However, investing in r+d is not unusual. This amount is not a huge investment for them based in overall revenue.

After the expiry of the copyright i assume.

Is it still ludicrously overpriced? Like worth more than the combined value of other companies with more profit, more sales and bigger market share? All while other companies are catching up in tech with better build quality, better marketing and no poisonous head?

I ownder if its a tactic to get people, or mainly businesses to upgrade no so they are still in the windows ecosystem. They won’t want to pay for windows, so making it seem like their computer is outdated and should be upgraded is not a bad strategy. If a movement of converting to Linux starts, many users might leave. For good.

Haha, me too. I tried opensuse first but switched to mint.

Yep, I just switched yesterday.

What if there was two new and one deleted, or 2 deleted and one new? It doesn’t need to be that granular. It’s just letting you know there has been a cha ge since last visit. Perhaps as it can be negative, changin to +1 comments, rather than +1 new makes sense. Then the negative number still makes sense.

Why does a company that has already achieved it’s success need investment? When company potential is how we value society, this is an inevitable end result.

Nah, they’ll just add a chat app. Then destroy it.

Aor Canada already tried that and lost. They had to refund the customer as the chatbot gave incorrect information.

I don’t disagree with your point. I think that is where we are heading. How we interact with computers will change. We’re already moving away from keyboard typing and clicks, to gestures and voice or image recognition.

We likely won’t even call it coding. Hey Google, I’ve downloaded all the episodes for the current season of Pimp My PC, can you rename the files by my naming convention and drop them into jellyfin. The AI will know to write a python script to do so. I expect it to be invisible to the user.

So, yes, it is just a different instruction set. But that’s all computers are. Data in, data out.

It can’t tell yet when the output is ridiculous or incorrect for non coding, but it will get there. Same for coding. It will continue to grow in complexity and ability.

It will get there, eventually. I don’t think it will be writing complex code any time soon, but I can see it being aware of all the libraries and foss that a person cannot be across.

I would foresee learning to code as similar to learning to do accounting manually. Yes, you’ll still need to understand it to be a coder, but for the average person that can’t code, it will do a good enough job, like we use accounting software now for taxes or budgets that would have been professionally done before. For complex stuff, it will be human done, or human reviewed, or professional coders giving more technical instructions for ai. For simple coding, like you might write a python script now, for some trivial task, ai will do it.
