Same. Hopefully they actually do something, and hopefully all the old folks don't default to first past the post if we do vote on it like they did in BC, largely because they couldn't be bothered to lean how any of the proportional representation options work.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government is increasing how much it costs to apply for a citizen-initiated referendum by 5,000 per cent, saying it's about making sure applicants are upper class instead of annoying street urchins.
There; fixed it for ya, Danielle.
Oh sorry, just realized we are talking app servers.
Yeah, Google apps, and linux hosted apps. Havent had a company that ran windows or MS anything in 14 years.
Mac, actually. Its a different kind of bad. At least I can use many of the same cli tools.
Its also trained on stolen data, artists work without their permission. AI training, even for the offline models, uses massive amounts of electricity and water and is currently accelerating climate around the world as well as unaffordability as demand for water and electricity cause prices to skyrocket. At the same time its accellerating the unaffordability of personal computing, including phones, and threatening to remove open PC hardware platforms by removing direct access to affordable DIY hardware.
On the other side of this, continued use and justification of LLMs existence is enabling the founding of mass surveillance and control systems that will be the foundation for totaltarian states, while at the same time enabling the rich to manipulate and control truth. And because of randomized token tie breaking, anything that comes out of it is only partially correct even when its one of the 30% of the times the reply is partially useful.
And - on top of all of that, you are nerfing your own skills and brainpower everytime you use it, in addition to having it do something for you that you could be learning yourself, which would have increased your existing skills while teaching you a new one.
AI is a horrible technology, doesn't matter where you run it.
But what style is a Ball Jar?
If Ball makes a Mason jar, its still a Mason jar, so are all other jars made by Ball just ambiguously "Ball" jars? Or is there a specific design that is referred to as a Ball jar?
The style is called a Mason jar because John Mason came up with it and made it popular. This is called a Mason jar for this reason.
John Mason was from New Jersey. What does Muncie IL have to do with the Mason jar style?
Lets fucking hope not.
Not just the threats, but the deafening silence from Americans in general about it (outside Lemmy) is something we will not forget for a generation.
Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.
Home Assistant. Offline smart home automation you can control.
Home doesn't have to be 100% dumb in 2023. But you have to do a little work for it.
Bonus: your smart home will be more capable and interconnected than any of the commercial smart home options because they are all busy trying to control the entire ecosystem and sue each other. (maybe Matter changes that but I'm not holding my breath)
The conservative party is openly against indigenous rights so I'm not sure what your argument is here.
Unless you are arguing Alberta should be voting Green Party, in which case I'm with you.
