This is disgusting.
It would have been easier to just remove these restrictions for everyone.

Ah okay
Enumerating every user to get the vote count on every single post/comment seems too computationally expensive.
Yep, also basically stole from the UK taxpayer by convincing Oxford University to not open source their publicly funded vaccine and instead sell the rights to AstraZenica.
All sorts of countries could have produced this vaccine themselves until Bill Gates got involved.
Gates was always a dirtbag.
He is one of the main reasons proprietary software is so prevalent and predatory nowadays.
Because then people can vote an unlimited number of times.
There needs to be some sort of identifier
Ayyyyy
No it’s the person who owns the source.
A pro-Israel American iirc.
For one, it bases it’s bias assessments on American politics. The UK is less right-wing than the US but when this bot comes along it calls a source which we might call centrist, “left”.
In a way, it’s like an attempt to shift the overton window for other countries closer to the US, and that’s not a good thing.
Of course, don’t expect this to be addressed by @Rooki@lemmy.world.
People offered plenty of constructive criticism in that thread:
The mod ignored it and only replied to positive feedback.
“Shut up SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!1!1!”
Lmao
Oh, not the “we fund you” narrative again. 🙄
The US military spent a lot in Europe, yet when Ukraine was first invaded this proved to be completely and utterly useless.
Oh I read it was a backdoored BIOS.
Yeah libreboot would probably not help much then.
Libreboot ftw
The fact that this platform is developed by transphobes is a big FUCKING deal
Not really. Usually the issue is the platform devs also control the instances/servers but that isn’t the case here.
The code isn’t transphobic. The code is code. We shouldn’t reject perfectly good code because we don’t like who wrote it. That’s just giving the software solely to the people who do to the detriment of everyone else.
Because he’s the developer. He can easily change a line of code to exploit users and servers across the fediverse.
This can be done by anyone, and applies to any platform. It’s not a problem unique to Lemmy.
I also don’t see how transphobia and backdooring everyone are at all related.
No, I was talking about software issues.
And if you know that both non-self-driving cars and self-driving cars are both equally prone to mechanical issues, why bring it up as a counterpoint?
Self-driving cars are no less prone to mechanical failures.
I don’t know about your city, but I trust technology a lot more than the average driver.
I don’t. Technology can be subject to glitches, bugs, hacking, deciding to plow right through pedestrians (hello Tesla!), etc.
While the case can be made that human drivers are worse at reaction time and paying attention, at least a “dumb” car can’t be hacked, won’t be driven off the road due to a bug, won’t try to knock people over itself without stopping, etc.
A human, when they catch these things happening, can correct them (even if it is caused by them). But if a computer develops a fatal fault like that, or is hijacked, it cannot.
EDIT: It seems like this community is full of AI techbro yes-men. Any criticism or critical analysis of their ideas seems to be met with downvotes, but I’ve yet to get a reply justifying how what I said is wrong.
