Left side: Black mirror S01E02 "fifteen million merits" . A guy tries to "break the system" but this backfires and his critic that was supposed to change people's minds is absorbed by it and turned into an entertainment product. The upper-left image shows the moment in the episode where he criticizes the system threatening to kill himself while the bottom one shows the final image of the episode where he how lives in an expensive suite

Right side: "Being ugly : My Experience" A youtube video of a guy explaining how his unattractiveness has biased his life and brought unhappiness upon him. A reason why this became viral, besides the obvious connection by many due to the topic was that a girl commented that she found the guy of the video very cute and they actually became a couple

The meme: It compares both cases implying that the guy on the right was breaking the system but that his cause was "silenced" by providing him a girlfriend and turning him into a channel that lectures people on having hope about the prospect of finding a suitable partner

Does any body know of an open-source reddit alternative? God, I wish that existed :/

I think they specifically chose that to display that it has no "forward" axis, robots don't need to be 100% anthropomorphic and follow our biological limitations, this is a very significant evolution in design that will allow for better mobility

I've said this before, but we also need to be cautious about this on lemmy and devise ways to empower mods and the community to fight back against this, I'm not entirely sure how since it's a very complex problem

Why do they struggle so much with some "obvious things" sometimes ? We wouldn't have a type-C iphone if the EU didn't pressured them to do make the switch

The teaser itself is some generic terrain with procedural grass anyone could do in blender in 3h

This reminds me of a time when the blender fund was opened and at some point a bunch of companies jumped to donate money (steam, epic, google, AMD...) this was way back when 2.8 was getting in shape. Years later we saw the fruits of that labor with the 3.x series bringing nice improvements and refactors that were done over the course of many months and years

We probably won't see a huge push in godot's quality in what's left of this year, but maybe in 2024 and later

I short of have a theory with this. There's this belief that "netflix killed piracy" because they provided an actual service with a fair price and the commodity that people wanted to watch shows. And that later on, it got enshittified. But I kinda think that, collaterally, a very important factor that explains people not even knowing how to download a torrent or having 0 critical mind when it comes to the other companies abusing their power has been the surge of smartphones

They were designed to have idiot-proof protection, but more and more they distanced newer generations from having a minimal technical background on how to use computers, which then leads to a more ignorant society incapable of saying no to such companies

I'm not saying this has been the main factor but I have my suspicions to believe it might be related

In the same fashion that elves were like the best blacksmiths in middle earth, I love how furries specifically tend to be very high in the "computer power" scale

Here's the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.04222.pdf

I find it very interesting that someone went in this direction to try to find a way to mitigate plagiarism. This is very akin to adversarial attacks in neural networks (you can read more in this short review https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.06032.pdf)

I saw some comments saying that you could just build an AI that detects poisoned images, but that wouldn't be feasible with a simple NN classifier or feature-based approaches. This technique changes the artist style itself to something the AI would see differently in the latent space, yet, visually perceived as the same image. So if you're changing to a different style the AI has learned, it's fair to assume it will be realistic and coherent. Although maaaaaaaybe you could detect poisoned images with some dark magic tho, get the targeted AI then analyze the latent space to see if the image has been tampered with

On the other hand, I think if you build more robust features and just scale the data this problems might go away with more regularization in the network. Plus, it assumes you have the target of one AI generation tool, there are a dozen of these, and if someone trains with a few more images in a cluster, that's it, you shifted the features and the poisoned images are invalid

It's weird that I've been on firefox for the vast majority of my life and I always had this perception that "everyone" was using it. Here in lemmy you hear about it all the time, my friends use it, I see it on my newsfeeds etc

But when you check the market share it around 2.8% while chrome is 65.1% https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

Duh, obviously you need to create a windows account to use the clock app 🙄

Apparently, as a competitor of any major platform you just need to get close to the features your adversary has and wait for that site/service to start the process of enshittification, let's see if reddit makes more blunders

Is mozilla the only company fighting for privacy?

Lemmy is not immune to this!! We need to develop FOSS to mitigate/detect that

Why is this on shitpost? I think it's a perfectly valid hobby and it should be celebrated

See? Contradicting or hiding well-known scientific facts should be unconstitutional

Isn't the fediverse fragile long-term wise from a structural point of view? I have this feeling that a ton of small lemmy instances will die over the years taking content away (I don't expect this will happen with lemmy.world). Is this something that could happen? Will it be a problem?

What's the advantage for google of doing this move? People "savy" enough to install an adblock (or even know that it exists) is most likely to switch to a competitor that allows for adblocking

I feel terrible for all the work boeing's hitman is going to have to do this week 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have a sad hunch that in a 10~15 years time, right/far-right wind political parties will criticize the left for "not having done enough" and start a propaganda with a hopeful message: "we can fix this!" (when CC really starts hurting the economy)

Most of their voters will forget years of science denial, laws that allowed companies to pollute the world, political malpractice, etc... Those parties (in the US and EU) won't be hurt once they switch their narratives

This is subjective, but I think the vast majority of our system is not only incapable of thinking long-term, but also remembers very little. Humanity's behavior feels similar to an ant on a leaf just flowing down a creek

Is it possible to bypass this block? Say, embedding VPN packets within a different protocol?

I'm confused, is this a strategy meant to persuade people to keep using the lightning cable bullshit?

I do think that the concept of recall is very interesting, I want to explore a FOSS version where you have complete ownership of your data in a secure manner

That could what?? 🥺

I know lemmy is fundamentally critic of reddit, but let's not forget if lemmy ever achieves a significant weight in humanity's attention, it's not immune to such disease. The problem is systemic, not inherent of a specific platform. Any place with a lot of eyes will be susceptible to manipulation, even more so now that we have tamed artificial intelligence to write texts just about anything. We as a community need to think about countermeasures to fend this off

The fact that this post got so many upvotes in c/lemmyshitpost says a lot about this community 👀

I have the feeling that a big chunk of apple consumers (I know there are many professionals and developers that love apple) don't even know what RAM is used for and will just buy it because it's the "cheapest version of the newest thing" without much critical consideration

But golden gate doesn't have anything inherent that pushes people to commit suicide. I feel like it's wasted money if the only thing this means is that this will happen somewhere else, what's the point then? Wouldn't it be spent better on mental healthcare for those who need it the most?

Edit 0: (I'm not super angry that they did install the nets, sure why not, it's not that expensive anyways, but I don't really feel like it solves the real issue. I'm mostly talking from my opinions and I don't have that many facts on this topic, maybe tackling suicide hot-spots does indeed reduce the statistic, I sincerely hope so but I doubt it)

Edit 1: After reading the article https://archive.is/Uuyx3 suggested by @Chetzemoka@startrek.website I feel like I was wrong in my initial assessment. Indeed it looks like there is a category of impulsive suicide that might be avoided with these barriers. I thank everyone who is contributing solid arguments to this difficult conversation. Despite the disagreements I see on the comments I believe we are all united in the feeling that this is a painful tragedy that we don't want to be part of this world

Why isn't this post marked as NSFW

Will lemmy ever get it's own /place?

Does north korea have actually good military power? I've seen their parades here and there, but does anyone know if they have updated equipment, trained military personnel, good intelligence, etc?

How many android apps are designed by teenage engineering?

I love how microsoft is becoming more and more supportive of linux!! Thanks

(by making the switch to linux more enticing)

The engineering team behind this must be amazing!

A few years ago amazon made a few big screen kindles before settling on the current format, I don't know which eink screens sizes are available for consumers, but it would be interesting bring that back

First time a mildly infuriating post makes me smile

But why is this the same people that brought us the windows terminal, azure, vscode and improvements to python? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks to you and all the dev team behind this ❤🙇🏻‍♂️

As a side note, there is a FOSS alternative to figma called penpot! Is not as polished or feature-rich, but I though some of you might be interested 💖 https://github.com/penpot/penpot
