Aside from snaps I don’t see a problem with Ubuntu either.

Oh that’s happening alright. Canonical and SUSE have been preparing for exactly this moment for years. They are ready.

Probably. reddit has tons of content from back when humans were the dominant posters there and that comes up in search results. I can see a future where text searches will turn up reddit posts much like image searches flood you with pinterest shit.

This shouldn’t be relevant but actually yea, ax has a good point. Plenty of people don’t really understand things that aren’t part of a big brand online.

The end game doesn’t involve having customers at all. The rich think they just wont need an economy anymore once their slaves die off and automation and AI replace them all.

They wont be able to help themselves though. They will get bored and start eating eachother.

My understanding of that was Facebook just gave up on human moderation and let an AI do whatever it wanted. Still unacceptable but totally foreseeable.

Oh please understand I read your comment as intrigue and not hostility. I welcome the conversation, including any rebuttals that could prove me wrong.

I like it here on Lemmy. People complain about the tankies but overall it’s actually been very tame and friendly compared to Reddit and conversations like this are just a joy for me.

It solves a problem we don’t really have anymore.

This is actually pretty interesting. Russians are typically more tech savvy than you would expect. A factory full of them and this still happened.

The only flash drive I ever had fail me that wasn’t made by sandisk was a generic microcenter one, which was so cheap I couldn’t bring myself to care about it.

Well it’s heavier and slower than native code and due in part to being an oracle technology people kind of avoid it anymore. It’s kind of a legacy language at this point.

The planet is dying, we have pretty much given up on even pretending to do anything about it, and the rich are using the time we have left before mass die offs to get AI up and running early enough to perfect it.

Just a thought that occurred to me today. In better times I would dismiss it as nothing more than an amusing conspiracy theory but lately…

I can certainly understand holding grudges against corporations. I didn’t buy anything from Sony for a very long time after their fuckery with George Hotz and Nintendo’s latest horseshit has me staying away from them, but that was a single firmware bug that locked down hard drives (note, the data was still intact) a very long time ago. Seagate even issued a firmware update to prevent the bug from biting users it hadn’t hit yet, but firmware updates at the time weren’t really something people thought to ever do, and operating systems did not check for them automatically back then like they do now.

Seagate fucked up but they also did everything they could to make it right. That matters. Plus, look at their competition. WD famously lied about their red drives not being SMR when they actually were. And I’ve only ever had WD hard drives and sandisk flash drives die on me. And guess who owns sandisk? Western Digital!

I guess if you must go with a another company, there’s the louder and more expensive Toshiba drives but I have never used those before so I know nothing about them aside from their reputation for being loud.

Nothing. But this does it all in bulk instantly for free.

This looks….abusable. I mean, the immich thing is nice but what’s stopping me from breaking into an iCloud account, dumping the photos into this and letting it tell me the best way to stalk someone?

Also, Java in 2025 is an odd thing to see. What problem did using Java solve?

I don’t understand the point of tailscale if straight WireGuard is so simple.

Open source - probably some issues I’m too lazy to find but me and anyone else can search for and fix them whenever we want.

Closed source - there is no war in bah sing sei.

There are easier ways to get that data without having to trick people into downloading an app. Trump has palantir and Israel in his pocket. He already knows where they all are. The app just lets us all know where they are.

Trump doesn’t like playing a fair game because he can’t win those.

These dumb fuckers STILL haven’t figured out the Streisand effect.

It’s possible but not plausible. It’s incredibly unlikely that’s what happened.
