Given Ubiquiti’s Russian connections, and TP Link’s Chinese connections, this honestly isn’t surprising.

XD you think the CIA can’t crack your closet server? Bruh, get real.

There is none. Theres like 0.1% of people who complain about it who have a valid point.

And those points are always meaningless in light of the alternative’s drawbacks.

You can also do this with Lunar, or with the paid version of BetterDisplay, and they also support controlling external monitors via DDC/CI.

I personally despise MacOS, but the MiniLED displays in MacBooks have fully changed what I prioritize when buying displays.

It’s so much more pleasant to be in a bright room (or outside), but that’s only feasible if your screen can output like 1000nits of brightness which few can outside of MiniLED displays.

Neither are they on the instances that defederate from them.

It’s also not like it’s an ideological thing. The instances that get defederate from are just filled with obnoxious tankies.

I care if an OS can manage the running applications and their windows in a reasonable way, which MacOS cannot.

Lmao.

,we have to submit tickets to run software because everything is installed through random .exes.

You have to do that because your IT department doesn’t trust you. There’s no difference in danger between a dev with system access installing an exe or a DMG.

If you’re talking the US government, then no, they don’t need political capital from the people, they just need capital capital and they can use that to swing elections and bribe politicians.

Regardless, some AI companies will inevitably survive. It is legitimately useful in solving a ton of problems that were near impossible before. Literally this xkcd. Now it’s not “I’ll need a research team and five years”, it’s “sure, easy API hit, we’ll just have to manage cost / use”, in the future, it will be “sure, we’ll just add a background task client side”.

If they lie like that peacefully and contently then it’s because they find it comfortable.

If they’re active and trying to get your attention, but don’t want pets, then it’s because they want to play.

I was like “ok what’s the principal”, then I scrolled looking for it and saw how long the article was and was like “Jesus Christ I’m not reading all of that”, then I started reading it and found myself at the end.

A lot more compelling of a lens then I was expecting.

This is literally how he always acts. There’s a reason that many instances do not federate with lemmy.ml, his instance.

He’s incredibly pro communist, pro Russia, pro China, and will ban you for even mentioning that something could be foreign propaganda.

At the end of the day, hopefully your instance builds their server code from source and inspects it to make sure there’s nothing nefarious. It would be nice to use a decentralized Reddit like platform not coded by him, but no one else has the time, resources, ability, and/or dedication, to step up.

I would still rather use Lemmy over Reddit, though I did switch to donating to piefed, the Canadian instance runners, over donating to him.

Are you a vegan?

Fair that they’re not mutually exclusive, but you did imply that that’s why the majority don’t switch.

There’s also lots of people who become developers because they want to build the best software they can and don’t care to spend time thinking about whether one open source hosting platform is better for their code over another if they accomplish the same thing.

Your response is insanely narrow minded and judgemental, not everyone chooses to fight the same battles you do.

Literally every Samsung Android phone has come with their Dex desktop for like 10 years too.

I fucking hate Google at this point. They’re just an even shittier version of apple now. Locking down their shit for no reason, and claiming decades old innovations are actually new and theirs.

Let’s be clear, for a feature that Samsung phones have had for a decade at this point.

Slavery (vs using a machine), involves the subject being either a human, or more broadly, a sentient being with a sense of self.

An AI cam be intelligent without being sentient or having a sense of self.

Again, there’s no reason to think that intelligence is a linear scale or a binary property.

And how does the human brain work?

Anything an LLM can do can be reduced to a list of instructions for a person to carry out based exclusively on the contents of a book full of word associations. You tell me what size the book becomes intelligent.

And you know that your brain works differently how?
