The value of tokens on the Blockchain are ostensibly related to the value of the apps that stake/work supports. NFTs were just another attempt at creating some real app/service value which didn’t have all the difficulty or intrinsic value problems that being a payment processor does.

The core problem is the same though. Speculative value of the tokens can’t really exceed the actual intrinsic value of the underlying Blockchain apps. For such apps to actually work as intended, more thought needs to go into anti-speculation mechanisms.

I’ve been using Linux4Tegra since before the M1 silicon and it’s really not that bad if you are at all used to build chain management. Granted, Nvidia does a lot of the initial heavy lifting here, but really to spin up a custom environment, you really only need to get the builds done right the first time and then it’s pretty smooth sailing.

But there is a viable alternative. In this very thread I supplied images of the ostensibly censored prompts from a different generative website. Unless those images have ironically been censored from the lemmy instance.

The point is that in the western media model, the existence of the Disney channel doesn’t mean that HBO can’t exist. And even if popular sentiment means that HBO doesn’t exist now because of some market force, it can certainly exist in the future if those consumer preferences change. I’d argue that western media has easily, about 200 years demonstrating this very principle.

If an autocrat bans content, it will never exist. Or rather, the only examples I can really think of where a monarch or autocrat has willingly chosen to liberalize media control, are the handful of European monarchies which ceded political authority to a liberal constitution. Whether you believe this reflects your own reality is inconsequential - it’s trivially simple to demonstrate that western society has become more permissive over time compared to its illiberal counterparts.

Ok, then it should be as easy to find a less censored version somewhere on the Chinese Internet, as I’ve done for the US internet in this thread. Or even simply find such information at all on the Chinese Internet, chatbot or otherwise.

But I think you know perfectly well what I’m talking about and why you’re begging the premise pretty hard.

Just did these with mage.space. Want to test “US Censorship” more?

Edit - This one is amazing

Or because there’s an objective, easily demonstrated difference between top down censorship and individual censorship.

This is objectively wrong though. There are many degrees and methodologies for censorship. A private company choosing the scope of its own products is very different from censorship imposed by fiat from the top down.

Because people have an interest in minimizing Chinese censorship due to the belief that China is perfect and cannot do better.

I’m pretty sure mage.space will happily make images of Trump kissing Biden.

To be fair, they immediately give the option to disable it.

Same. It’s about more than just the app to me. It felt like a betrayal of the social contract which brought me to Reddit in the first place, and which kept me there even as I slowly aged out of the main culture, as the site became a hot bed for shady viral marketing and information warfare, and then as the site became infested with fascist mind rot.

That contract was about building and curating your own experience, which was genuinely a radical idea in the forum world at one point in time. But killing off the API signalled to me that this was no longer the casem. Spez was building just another shitty walled garden, and that was taking precedence over the “build your own reddit” experience I’d come to know and love.

Ah it’s just lemmy.ml with the soft ban. The main “dev” instance.

I will say that I would be a lot more willing to donate if the soft ban on Ukraine news was lifted.

I’m more alarmed at the conversation in this thread about migrating these cobol apps to java. Maybe I am the one who is out of touch, but what the actual fuck? Is it just because of the large java hiring pool? If you are effectively starting from scratch why in the ever loving fuck would you pick java?

What a terrible day to be literate

I like to focus on reviews with pictures.

I find it a bit difficult to take this seriously when that page is literally 70% ads.

Hexbears are just trolls. They generally aren’t coming into threads to have real discussions (and when they make attempts at it they often seem confused about their own stated ideology) - the unstated goal is to be disruptive to deny “shit libs” a platform.

I mean, there is a hard coded word filter which doesn’t allow you to use the scientifically correct term for a female dog. Which is pretty wild.

Hexbear is far more obnoxious than lemmygrad imo. At least lemmygrad doesn’t turn every thread into a middle school “#random” message board by filling it with cringe jpeg emojis.
