  @X00001 I remember when the average price of a CD jumped from $16 to $20. Right around the time Napster came in and changed everything

  Fuck you YouTube. They have just doubled the minimum watch time for creators before they can become eligible for monetization. I've been trying to build my channel for over two years and the 4k barrier was already too high. Even with a 37k view video I wasn't able to scratch past 3000 hours. 8k feels nearly impossible. The web really needs an alternative to their monopoly. Too bad there's no money in PeerTube https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/youtube-partner-program...

  I kind of hate that we call the following programming pattern a "ternary" is_true() ? 'one' : 'two' It's really more of a binary, as ternary implies there should be 3 potential outcomes

  Someone on Lemmy asked if switching to local AI would make people hate it less, by reducing need for more datacenters and resource use. I want to share my reply b/c that's only ⅓ of the issues 3 problems 1. Being used poorly and mostly resulting in slop, or malicious/unethical/deadly uses, and psychosis 2. Being forced down the public's throat and put into places where it adds no value, job losses, quality drops, plagiarism 3. Datacenter/environmental concerns, part prices #a...

  Almost all LLMs have been trained off of GPL'd code, thus they are derivative works and are also all bound by the GPL. Especially if they ingested AGPL code #ai #llm #gpl #opensource #bigtech #copyleft #freeSoftware

  I hate how ephemeral the Internet has become. I'm frequently finding myself looking for an old meme or news article and they've just vanished into the memory hole forever. Stuff from just six months earlier sometimes #web #internet #internetCulture #mediaHistory #memoryHoled #forgottenPast #digitalMedia

  There are a lot of broken and corrupt institutions in this world for sure. But the people whose reaction is okay, then let's get rid of ALL institutions, scare me just about as much as the current corrupt people. That kind of absolutist thinking won't fix anything. We need better systems, not no systems

  @molly0xfff Makes sense, a lot of these people who are into promoting crypto are also Zionist accelerationists trying to speed up their end times prophecy

  If America was a serious place, we'd be having protests every single week, not just once a quarter. Our apathy + unfounded faith in our institutions to save us will be our downfall

  I just learned there's a huge gap in the Epstein files that were released. Almost nothing for the years 2000 & 2001. Pair this with one email that got out where Maxwell is invited to join some "shadow commission" on 9/11 along with a few other things and a clear pattern starts to form. I had dropped the whole "inside job" conspiracy thing 20 years ago, but now I'm back. And it all certainly lines up well with what's happening...

  I see a lot of anger toward OpenAI right now, and that's great...but, we need to show just as much anger if not more towards Oracle, who also signed up to do what Anthropic wouldn't. Uninstall Java, migrate your databases, cancel your Paramount+, stop watching CBS. Don't give a penny to their subsidiary companies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Oracle #oracle #openai #chatgpt #cancelGPT #usPol #war #iran

  Now we have proof! We are attacking Iran because crazy Zionist zealots think they are going to bring about Armageddon.

  I've been watching a friend go through some rough times. They have been dealing with chronic sickness and an unhealthy living environment, now at risk of losing their job that they were barely making it on as it was. And I don't know how to help them. I don't have the ability to help, after being unemployed for over a year I'm broke too and not far behind them. I'm so tired of feeling helpless. Our society is broken 😞

  So it's happened. We're bombing Iran tonight. Sure wish Congress would remind the executive that they are only ones allowed to go to war. Maybe the Ayatollah will make good on his word and release what files they have on Epstein, Trump, and their network https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cn5ge95q6y7t #usPol #us #iran #israel #war

  It is wild seeing reputable sources now discussing things that used to only live in conspiracy theory circles. Here's More Perfect Union talking about the Bohemian Grove 🙃 https://youtu.be/unSBLkk2FKc #us #usPol #morePerfectUnion #bohemianGrove #secretSocieties #conspiracy
