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?

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.

Guilty Canadian Admission:

In my teens I lived in Brockville Ontario near Ogdensburg New York and watched a lot of US channels. The Star Spangled Banner came on at the beginning of the broadcast day for some channels.

For many years, I thought the first line was "Jose can you see"

Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

Designers need to wake up and realize their job is to understand what the user wants not what they saw in a wet dream.

As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

This is the most unfiltered article I've read from The Atlantic... by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.

Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.

The Dad Trilogy (startrek.website)

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)

Is the darkspace theme something that comes packaged with Lemmy or something the server admins are throwing together? I love where it's going but its in need of some love.. there's nothing to make the posts readable against the background.

Complaints are not intended here, I could likely help if someone points me to a place where I can make PRs.
