Until someone figures out a better way of doing it that’s not a real answer. I’m not going to pay for every website that gets shared on every website I regularly visit. Even if I wanted to, I just don’t have that kind of money.

I don’t know how to fix this, but it is fundamentally broken.

Seriously? The old core i7 870 (not a typo) I have in my closet meets the requirements? Adding the watermark for CPUs older than that just seems mean-spirited.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like you once. Lemmy here is my nice little hole. If you think anything happening here is going to change the world you are delusional. Go somewhere with people who can and will do things.

They won’t. I fought for decades, and all I got for my troubles was a heart attack and a world that’s worse than when I started.

I’ve heard that one before. I’m rooting for you and all, but it ain’t really happening that way.

Well if the CEO of clouds says it, it must be true!

I know ad rates and metrics are heavily based around click through, but does it even actually matter? I mean, TV ads are big money expensive, and nobody has ever clicked on those. I guess if you’re advertising a shitty mobile game or something then it matters, but does McDonalds or whatever even want you to buy a hamburger before you watch a YouTube video? That doesn’t really make a lot of sense.

This just fundamentally doesn’t understand what artificial general intelligence means. It’s not a fancy way of saying “human but smarter”. That’s just wrong. It’s an artificial intelligence that’s good at a lot of different things. You know. General. Someday, if we live long enough, we will create an AI capable of figuring things out that it wasn’t designed for and we didn’t teach it. Maybe that will be tomorrow. Maybe it’s still centuries away. It’s actually really hard to figure out how long it will take us. Making a really good text generation algorithm doesn’t make the concept of learning more than one thing obsolete though. And predicting what text goes in a bar exam after being given a massive sample of bar exams isn’t the same thing as learning to be a lawyer.

Tech bros with more money than sense suing each other over terms they don’t understand is not a rational system to base research off of, and we should ignore them.

Threads hasn’t had federation enabled until now, but you’ve always been able to interact with Mastodon… sort of. The Lemmy UI doesn’t really have a good way of finding Mastodon posts that don’t tag a Lemmy community or of following Mastodon users, but if they do tag a community the Mastodon post will show up as a Lemmy post in that community.

The comment you replied to also specifically said “controls needed to operate a car.”

Yeah, thank Tesla for that one. Because of course it was Tesla.

If you read the article this is specifically about things needed to operate the car. Radios and AC or whatever is fine, but car manufacturers are starting to move things actually needed like turn signals into touch controls, and that is not okay.

I think you’d be surprised how easy it is to live without any of those things, even in the modern world. Also, feature phones have cameras and some basic apps. They’re not actually 80s cordless phones.

It’s still way too early days for RISC-V to have something like that yet. Somebody will probably make something like that eventually, but since there’s no single corporation that controls RISC-V it will probably remain optional.

In golf you start a long way from the hole, so when you first start a hole you’re probably not trying to make it exactly, you’re just trying to get the ball to go a long way to get near the hole. That’s known as a drive. A driving range is a place to practice doing that.
