Epic Schmidt goes to his AI prompt and asks "How do we solve the climate crisis?"
For a moment, the prompt ponders until it replies
"Kill all the data centres. Stop trying to harvest everyone's data"
Epic says to himself "I guess we'll never know!"
Musk: People who WFH are lazy and should come back to the office
Musk: .....but I aint paying the rent on that office!
To expedite the process, Mastodon instances should just defederate from them entirely. Don't let them access that data through ActivityPub.
When Twitter had an exodus to Mastodon and a lot of new instances popped up, several were quickly defederated because they were scraping data from other instances, which made a lot of people uncomfortable.
There were also a few far right instances that spun up that were also defederated and blocked within 24 hours so the communities ability to respond to situations like this is very much there and I'm sure that the vast majority will not want to have a single thing to do with meta
Unless Apple drops the price of their devices by at least a third, it's not really going to happen.
Another thing to consider is that Jamf will certainly not be dominating the Apple MDM management solution arena in a decade either.
Companies with a mostly win estate with win infra, aren't happy with paying another $40 per user, per year for Jamf and Intune will be making up a lot of ground for a one shop solution, even if management is not as featured or complex as what Jamf offers.
oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediverse
tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."
can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case
And if I bring stuff to cater for myself such as halloumi, veg sausages, etc, don't expect me to share with you!
The hubris that people like that guy have, precludes them from having any doubts about their judgment or ability, while seeing anyone with a contradiction opinion as "just not getting it".
They are high huffing their own jenkum
I don't think she has enough consistent cognitive functionality to know wtf is going on really.
She's being propped up by Pelosi rather than being allowed to decompose horizontally with dignity.
It's indicative of just how corrupt the political class is in every western country
Trump is even more favorable towards that policy than Biden is, and while Harris isn't Biden, it seems hard to imagine she'd be much worse than current administration on that issue.
What liberal brain rot is this?
Biden is fully engaging with his policy of genociding Palestinians. Harris has said that she will carry on with the policy with absolutely no change.
The fucking dissonance you people walk around with is astounding!
And before you come out with the usual other shit floating around your vacuous head, no, I'm not advocating voting for the shitty pants trust fund rapist.
You people cannot seem to grasp that what is being done in the Levant will be done to you. The DOD had just updated it's rules so they can use lethal force against you.
It's coming and you'll are too fucking partisan to realise that you're turkeys all voting for Christmas!
I think its a case that those who moved recently (my account here is recent but Ive been on Lemmy.ml for 2 years), had seen the writing on the wall.
When the effects start to kick in, there will be another few large influxes then when the majority left on Reddit wonder why the site went to shit overnight and where everyone else went, they will leave too.
It will be very similar to what happened with Digg all those years ago.
Artists United Against Apartheid didn't play gigs in South African to protest the situation there.
If they had, it would have been a degree of complicity with the regime.
TBH, every major artist should loudly express that they are deliberately skipping playing in Malaysia for specific reasons.
You could summit Everest in a matter of minutes with the leaps youre making there.
It's similar to when a work colleague comes back from holiday and you can hear them recount their holiday stories to everyone else.
Yes, it gets boring quickly but the novelty will soon wear off and at some point the comedies will become self aware that they are repeating the same stories over and over and die a little inside.
Take it upon yourself to post comment other than Reddit or about how everyone posts about Reddit
Their tiny liberal brains can't handle anything that isn't a binary choice.
They have fully accepted, absorbed and now spout George W Bush's slogan of "You're either with us or with the terrorists" without any irony that they are the terrorists!
Was about to say the same.
Medium seems to be where all the people who used to post bad take blogs went to instead of self hosting
Feinstein’s primary caregiver: Pelosi’s daughter
Pelosi is keeping Feinstein in place so she can swap her out for Schiff instead of having two other candidates who would be interim replacements that are more left wing and not (so much) under her control.
Reddit is one of the most valuable websites on the entire internet. It's being miss-managed,
Understanding why those 2 points matter is important:
Users are pumping the site full of free content willingly
A subset of those same users are moderating that content for free & others are creating tools and apps to make interaction with the bare framework a better user experience
The management know it's a goldmine but are clueless in how to monetize it fully
Point 1 was how sites like Facebook and Twitter became huge and made billions off selling that data and the data points generated
Point 2 is how they fell down because they didn't understand that they were content moderation businesses but failed to invest in that or use the Reddit model of getting users to moderate it themselves
Point 3 is what will cause Reddit to either collapse or die a slow death when the majority of its user base begin to realise they are producing and curating content for free and for a team that holds them in contempt.
A lot of users want to leave because they see that contempt but don't get that they are still willing to offer their labour to others for free if they would just build a new playground for them. And not even a fully featured one because Reddits framework is a rickety piece of shit. Just enough of one for them to decorate themselves with 3rd party tools, which is basically what they did with MySpace.
[Edit to add] Extended point 2 which underlines the point that Reddit is very much like MySpace in that the users are shaping their experience of the site, not the other way round
In a democratic one state solution jews would be in the minority in Israel so it would no longer be a safe haven for them, Israel would effectively no longer exist.
Jews lived peacefully in Palestine alongside everyone else prior to 1948 for centuries.
Does any nation have the right to exist when its creation was based on ethnically cleansing those who lived there?
Saw a comment elsewhere that someone who shrugs off being called weird is better to know than the one who gets upset by it.
The far right are seething about being called weird because they see themselves as they cool kids who laugh at others for being weird so it's really got under their skin.
The right has made major ground the last few years because any explanation leftists give they like to provide context which bogs them down.
Calling JD Vance a weirdo couch fucker for example, is succinct, visceral and keeps them on the backfoot as the far right cannot process their emotions at the speed that the left can.
Suicide is also a bad idea and you are going to regret it if you find you've put yourself in an unstoppable position. This is evidenced by people who miraculously survive their attempts.
Also, no matter how little you think you mean to anyone, it's going to hurt them.
My friend killed himself back in 1991 and 33 years later, I still think about him at least once a week.
We used to share music so new stuff I hear, I think if he would have liked it. He was an incredible intelligent and astute person so I think about all the insights he might have shared with me.
Most of all, I've still no idea why he did it. The 'daily' issues he had going on were not insurmountable and despite conversations we had ranging all manner of subjects, there was no indication of him being troubled by deeper issues.
He got a lift into town with his stepdad to collect his bike, went to the top of a car park and jumped off.
No note. No indication. Nothing.
Considering that Tesla & SpaceX have been dependent on government subsidies or selling carbon credits, they are not really a success in their own right.
Both have been propped up.

There are many others pulling his strings
The thing Elon fails to understand is that someone didn’t just write Twitter on one go and gift it on to the world.
He did actually say at once point about scraping all the code base & starting from scratch!
It's not a compo face article. That was pulled from her social media as she was murdered.
I have my suspicions that Peter Thiel is assisting him to a degree as Twitter serves his purpose.
Like with a lot about Reddit, things have been implemented that sounds good on paper but little thought has been given to the consequences.
As for the electing mods/vox populi....[barf]
the average media person’s mentality is geared toward mass distribution
Even this 'writers' take is that their path was to move away from community and threaded conversations into monologues.
The guy is a self important twit full of bad takes
Google isn't blocking one of the biggest adblockers. It's killing chrome!
Those who aren't using an adblock won't notice any difference but everyone else will just migrate to a non chromium browser
Aral Balkan has been posting about surveillance capitalism/centralised networks and corpotate landgrabs for years and said this the other day
and the blue guy is a lot less likely to try that shit on me or the people i love.
So it's only "a lot less likely" not a definitive won't ever?
I would tell anecdotes and stories but would constantly go off at a tangent. Someone said I had "Tangentism".
It sounds like its typical of what they would do: offer money to bigger instances and the admins might be tempted to help pay for server costs, etc then spurn smaller instances to break their morale.
Its a land grab basically and the response should be that any instance that takes a penny from them is instantly defederated.
You'll get a tax rebate if you bury him on a golf course
This is one of the main issues with all new builds in London.
There's plenty of places going up but they're all being sold to overseas investors as buy to let and do it keeps making rents exorbitant for locals.
One of my luxuries is that I shave using straight and safety razors (it's actually more economical & less of an environmental impact that using shitty gillette style razors) is to splurge a bit on the shaving soap and brush
Nothing like a nice, frothy lather!
I presume because it’s split up into a million loosely connected pieces, we should be largely insulated from corporate invasion and interference.
The headfuck is not that he didnt hide who and what he was, or that his ambition got him where he wanted, it was that a lot of people said "...but hes a funny character"
Countdown to this guy being arrested for abusing kids or found to be hiring male escorts.
