  • This is a side effect of too much doomscrolling.

    Start of the article shows the genuine reaction is there: “Children giggle as young people flash their smartphones to film robots carrying plates of freshly prepared meals on their inbuilt trays to deliver to diners in a busy eatery in Kenya’s capital.”

    I cant say I disagree though, this is putting pressure on some of the twisted dynamics we live by indeed but i think your question doesn’t really work, exploiting people isnt the point, generating value with no regard of other life is and robotics make good slaves. The real issue is how will humans survive in an economy where there labor can no longer be used to obtain a share of the earth-pie.

    What we can do is be vocal about normalizing universal basic income which has proven to work. This way we can still be hyped about the technology. Its going to be a matter of either we do get there or we wont live to tell the difference.




  • “don’t enter any commands you see online without looking at it first. You can’t trust everyone”

    This has somewhat become a staple idea of mine. People trust others online way too easily. Ai isn’t all that different in this but its more obvious to us that there is something to be scared about the uncanny valley.

    What it tends to come down to is capacity for personal critical thinking which we should aim to foster more in future generations.

    Maybe i assume too much that programmer-minded people naturally come with such skills for troubleshooting and will be capable of responsible ai interactions?




  • Not sure of this is still true, it often feels like edge is the main spyware feature of windowless in general, integrated into windows search.

    Everytime you search for an app or file it doubles as a edge search query to present in the results. You can try disable all the spyware on windows if you want. Edge still stores it in the microsoft cloud so you can sync.

    Copilot is a golden ticket for them now. Its literally an edge based application.

    Over time people from that initial spike realized that the platform isn’t what they expected/liked, some likely went back to their previous platform but i am going to be optimistic and say they moved to mastodon.

    The climb we see now is fresh users that heard of lemmy and are now checking it out.

    //This is how i read this graph, other interpretation may be possible, you can’t really know for certain without more data.

    I believe these issues exist in some places in the world like the usa.

    Personally as a cis man i dont experience these issues at all. I am more radical left leaning then my sisters.

    The right just appear like some intolerant macho cult. They are the last people i would feel safe.

    It has to be set though I recognize many fellow men do exhibit this weird macho psychology as well as laziness and illusion that they somehow know me or what i want. I never consider that to have political grounds.

    If i have a choice to interact with either sex i am Biased to chose the women because i feel like there actually perceive and speak to me as individual rather then pretending i am their best friend cardboard cutout.

    In my experience women are more honest as sales people and more helpfull as a frontdesk clerk. This is bias and exceptions exist. I myself am an exceptions. Statistical perception though…


  • I am using heroic launcher to play blazing sails on epic right now. I am on Arch, which I believe is a positive since the steam deck is arch based (i heard).

    The escapist 2 i have not gotten to work properly though. It runs but with like 1fps. Apparently this is because epics implementation and it runs smooth with steam. Definitely test things on a game by game basis.


  • If you’re already feeling some interests your gonna jump ship sooner or later. I made the switch last year and its been nothing short of amazing.

    Steam, gog and epic games all work. Some run better then on windows, others require a tinker step.

    You can run and install most exes, even pirated games using Lutrius.

    Blazing fast. I have sm called hyprland sway and win11 feels like the stone age compared.

    Best of all: COMPUTERS ARE FUN AGAIN You learn so much but its intuitive enough you don’t even notice.


  • With “ideas” i am actually referencing any less then respect plans collecting data and monopolizing the fediverse meta may have.

    I wouldn’t be supposed if meta wasn’t paying some in house developers to help work on the open source federation improvements only to in same breath ease in compatibility with their own systems.

    If we’re not careful we might get properly invaded, meta will set the rules for the fediverse to follow. Independent communities that cant follow the same new protocols gets pushed out and will go extinct.

    At least thats what i understood is the reason threads gets defederated, better to break up now that its small then to get consumed as it grows.

    But i still hoped there could Be some safe doors and gateways in the middle.


  • Meta disgusts me but i cant lie and say the opportunity that my family may without me pushing much may join the fediverse on threads sounds much nicer then the status quo.

    I am all for protecting the fediverse from metas ideas so i do support defediration.

    With this transistive tool what happens if i am on my own instance, defederated from meta but i dont the transition and federate with a community that is federated with meta.

    Could i see threads from my instance trough the federated one?

    Is my own instance safe from meta?

    Will transistive defederation mean others will automatically defederate with my instance because i federate with an instance that is federated with threads?
