Yeah. The mafia works by making people scared to speak up

That’s pretty much the way he acts most of the time.

Egh. Are we going to start posting every Facebook car meme here now?

If workers like their job and feel appreciated, they work harder. The job also likely attracts better people.

They might be able to hire less people as a result

I did night fill at a supermarket here in Australia once. And there are so many useless people working at them. There was never any incentive to work beyond the minimum standard

Here in Australia at least, supermarkets are making record profits, so it would simply be less money for shareholders

I wish there was a way to hide the synopsis.

I like watching movies and TV without knowing the plot of what I’m about to watch

Lots of people seem to be using it fine daily

Maybe you need to switch distro and check your hardware

Or if you’re getting lots of crashes, contribute code or money to get them addressed. Otherwise it’s clear your priorities aren’t straight

Yeah. Last thing I want is to deal with all the anti-environment, anti-EV pro-extremist right wing toxic-macho shit bots.

Quality, not quantity. With too many people, moderation begins to fail

It’s pretty much copying lol. It has no idea about patents, or unique ideas. It basically just takes every unique idea and pretends it invented them because it doesn’t understand

And that’s the problem

It’s basically just something that tries to take credit for everything.

This isn’t college.

And that’s not how AI works.

AI literally just copies bits of lots of sources and cobbles it together.

It has no idea what any of it means. We learn via experience. AI models won’t

If I write a reference book, I need to reference my source if I’m quoting things. Even if I saw it in 2 different books .

AI does not

Question… if there is only 1 source of information on a topic, and AI needs to reference it, what happens? It basically just copies it and changes a few words. No reference to the original author. It doesn’t even know.

If I read a book into a podcast and change a few words, take credit and don’t give any to the original author is that ok?

It’s not AI. That’s a marketing term like blockchain. Its just a combined data scraper with some random data.

Pretty much. It’s just weird this whole thread Feels like it was written by a marketing person.

Developers used to get hounded for blockchain by sales people.

Now the same people have moved to AI. Companies love it mainly because they can steal work, summarise it a bit, and profit. Some things were literally tracked down to specific web pages as the source

As others have said, it isn’t inspired always, sometimes it literally just copies stuff.

This feels like it was written by someone who invested their money in AI companies because they’re worried about their stocks

It’s not a common scenario probably.

But I felt at least one admin was so focused on protecting at least 1 minority, that they were willing to overlook bad behavior by some of them. Or maybe they knew that if they told them to act better that the community would see them as a threat

In fact, the person who exclaimed that I “wanted to kill the entire minority” simply because I didn’t 100% agree with one thing also I realized colored my opinion early of the rest of Lemmy on another thread by calling it a cesspool

It’s actually the opposite. People are free to discuss on other servers, and I realize that lots of the thing that person was saying, was actually bad for discussions except in a way that benefits them directly (even disregarding other people in their minority).

The crazy part is I have plenty of friends who are part of that minority lol

They were a mod too, so over time, some of these communities will only develop stronger and stronger opinions which are self reinforcing and rise to the top in these safe spaces and basically become another femaledatingstrategy like environment

That doesn’t mean she supports it. There’s evidence that even with Biden there were things potentially happening in the background to try to stop it. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-03/israel-accepts-joe-bidens-gaza-ceasefire-proposal/103926614

Trump literally asked Russia publicly to find dirt on Hillary to win and praises dictators constantly.Kamala isn’t praising dictators.

If Trump went to court for every crime he committed, he would have no time to campaign. In fact, with lawsuits they likely have to compress them and limit the contents to the worst offenders to facilitate their processing time.

You haven’t heard even a small number of crimes that Mafia don has committed. But a guy who goes and laughs on social media when one of his followers attacked pelosis husband obviously supports assault.

So just to clarify, Trump = actual criminal who uses violence to gain power Kamala = normal person

You’re also assuming that Trump will end the war. He won’t. He’ll do what he normally does and just shout at both parties. If he gets forced out of office, he’ll sabotage the next president

Walz in particular is ex military and I seriously doubt he is pro war either. There might be stuff happening in the background again we don’t know about (Trump will brag in public about every single thing he does, but sometimes negotiations require the opposite). It’s similar to criminal investigations which take a long time

I’ve heard evidence that it was a fairly toxic community there anyway.

We should be careful to avoid creating communities that are echo chambers. Ie, it should be a community discussing veganism, not a vegan safe space where people abuse you if you disagree

Otherwise, in 5 years time you end to with scenarios similar to reddit or on beehaw

I left beehaw because I half agreed with the community, someone in a “safe space” abused me, and a beehaw admin overlooked that abuse and instead insisted I was starting a flight (simply because I didn’t 100% agree with the community it seemed)

We also risk scenarios where vaping or drug communities could grow and become toxic in the same way. We also should be as scientific as possible and avoid becoming Facebook.

I’m not sure about the cat thing, but to me, it seems like it could at least be used as animal abuse

I keep seeing the same bozos say they’re the same

One is literally a criminal rapist who has made tens of thousands of public lies, doesn’t pay contractors, and said obvious non sensensical stuff during covid leading to mass deaths and whose own ex staff warns he is an asshole.

The other is a normal person you could probably eat lunch with. She’s absolutely normal.

Smoking companies still are with vaping (vaping companies literally sell to kids over the Internet and people literally are arguing it’s safe and healthy)

Which unfortunately shows that people don’t learn

Again, you do realise Mono was started by the same guy who founded Gnome right?

What people don’t realize, is that Miguel de Icaza actually started gnome and mono.

Xamarin got acquired by Microsoft.

I’m so tired of watching the community crap on every company which donates open source (I’ve been watching for 25 years at least now). Even Redhat which basically is a major factor to the survival of Linux is getting crapped on. Systemd developers, etc.

If people are genuinely interested in Linux growing, they need a positive community. Because developers like myself mostly stopped providing free code (as a hobbyist developer) because whilst finding help is difficult, it’s not hard to find people willing to abuse you and your projects unfortunately

Even the VLC developers can’t escape the abuse

I think initially it was simply because Ellen pao might have wanted freedom of speech. The funny thing is that the people she defended turned against her

But this turned into an issue eventually Steve seemed to get rid of some communities, and allowed places like thedonald to flourish. I believe he just wants money.

So you could be right

The guy who started mono also started gnome you realize.

More likely he influenced this decision

Mate. I don’t even use Windows anymore lol

And I started a few open source projects and contributed to a lot of them.

This is why Linux still isn’t gaining market share because for 25 years I’ve been watching the community scare off developers and treat them like crap. It happens constantly.

You’re not giving anyone any incentive to assist

In all likelihood they donated this code because it doesn’t benefit them anymore or became a burden. The developers aren’t sitting there thinking “mmm, this is gonna make us so popular”.

Did you know the guy who stayed mono is actually the guy who started gnome? They got acquired by Microsoft.
