He’s a fascist nut, easy to dismiss. But mainstream media are spreading the same lies.

“Please buy Tesla again! We kicked him out already, all is good now!”

Talking to family, coworkers and friends: the public image of Musk took a long while to destroy (thanks to no-one but Musk), and Tesla is connected to it 100%. These my peers only just about got to where this is now the majority opinion.

FWIW I’m seeing more and more new electrical cars on the roads, none of which are Tesla. And a lot of those who drive one feel compelled to apologize for it.

IDK; my father is one or two generations before boomers and what they did was not better.

Nice. M3U saved

No need to wait for Linux to listen to internet radio. With individual song metadata. Soma.fm. Bagel Radio for guitary stuff. 9128.live for amazing Ambient mixes.

There’s also NTS.live, Lyl Radio, Dublab etc… but they don’t always show per-track metadata.

Or right here on Fediverse. Just search for Music communities. I already found a few new artists here.

Another vote for internet radio. Adding Bagel Radio for guitary stuff. Oh and 9128.live for amazing Ambient mixes.

One of the problems with Linux today on laptops is that the CPU will run in an unoptimized manner

Is this actually still true? I thought automatic scaling happens mostly on firmware level these days.

Are those VR goggles?

I do not agree with the notion of “wise elders”. I don’t want to dismiss the wisdom that comes with experience and time, but there’s too many other factors to disrupt it.

Alter schützt vor Torheit nicht or, in Billy Shakespeare’s words: “There’s No Fool Like an Old Fool”

Thank you for your patience.

Everything is public, including votes.

I have yet to figure out how that works. Does Lemmy offer a way to look at these things? Like who voted?

Instance admins can notice if a lot of signups happen from a specific ip, email pattern or region.

The same goes for, say, reddit admins.

Writing good code does not excuse you from being an arsehole. I’m glad most of the FOSS community has moved on from sheer meritocracy. In the end such behaviour will always also affect the software.

Unfortunately that is not the point this article is making. At all.

open source and AI

I resent that these two terms are used interchangeably throughout the whole article. WT actual F.

Of course there’s also this:

calculating the economic value

I think I don’t llike the Linux foundation anymore. Not that I ever like-liked it. I hope they fire this unperson.

I’m typing this on a laptop. But I’m old.

Unfortunately what the other commenter replied is happening instead.

I will take this opportunity to drop one of my favorite tropes: even 10 years ago, every smartphone had millions of times more computing power than the complete computing power used during the moon landing in '69.

Distro-agnostic: /var/spool/mail or /var/mail; but both directories are empty on my system, and untouched since installation.

I’m sure one could make the incident report go there by installing one or two softwares. Would actually be interesting to see what it reads, since this message has caused many Linux newbs anguish.

Its easier to spot here

It’s super easy to spot on reddit. Even easier than that?

There clearly aren’t that many bots (of all kinds, incl. humanoid) in the Lemmyverse (yet), so I guess they stand out more, but beyond that?

its easier to moderate

Hm. How so?

I learned early that admins (and possibly also mods) have more insight into user behavior, is that what you mean?

Beyond that the mod/admin structure is pretty much the same as on, say, reddit.

Yes it takes very little searching to find this shit on reddit.

But - and I’ll probably get tons of downvotes, but still: the Fediverse is not safe from this.

edit: considering our APIs are free & open it could even be easier, esp. if you don’t want to leave a money trail

edit2: I definitely don’t mean to diss the Fediverse in any way! It stands sky high against walled-in platforms. Just stay vigilant and real. This is not paradise.

“Scamming compound” is not a word I wanted to add to my dictionary. Look at this shit:

That’s methodical, structured, newly built, and completely fenced in. It couldn’t have happened without the government at least looking the other way.
