And, of course, if you want your children to have a peak male physique.

It waw McGregor. And while the explosion was spectacular, it happened on the test stand, so not much damage was done actually.

As I understand it, 3) already happens. What causes the load is that each connected instance is also loading and caching the preview.

And here I am, emailing password protected zip files to people when the documents are not to be scanned by my mail provider.

While I think that many are ok with ‘trying out’ Lemmy by joining a random instance at first, I also have seen numerous threads in which users are complaining about not being able to subscribe to communities they are interested in, only to be told that the instance hosting the communities they are interested in is blocked by their instance. I don’t think it makes for a good first impression to join a Lemmy instance, only to be immediately told that you need to join another instance to see the content you are interested in.

Or there could be a delay of one minute before posts get federated, giving the user the option to quickly delete a comment or post.

That is one thing Lemmy is not good at: Protecting its users legally. No admin can be expected to hire a lawyer to fight off those companies.

One benefit of Mastodon not mentioned is that the activitypub protocol is used by more services than Mastodon. I personally am looking to switch to Kbin or Mbin, whenever those become usable alternatives, as they allow me to interact both with Lemmy and Mastodon.

As long as they are used defensively, weapons are needed. And having the latest and greatest weapons really helps. We can see this play out in Ukraine clear as day. If Ukraine had more weapons in the beginning, Russia hadn’t invaded. If they had anyways, Ukraine would’ve been able to rebuff them with more force. Whenever the West does send weapons to Ukraine, they have an immediate and devastating effect on Russian troops. But because we are sending so little, the war bogs down into a WW1-style slugfest. Also, the ammunition given by the West allows Ukraine to do targetted strikes mostly. Russiaon the other hand is just sending wave attacks, accepting massive civilian casulties.

Just meeting people in the hallway for a quick chat where we stand on different projects, what other teams are planning and so on, as well as personal stuff. Just your average office chats.

I sympatize with folk that want to stay home, but I personally am functioning much better in an office environment with those talked-about chance encounters. I am interested to see where we will be in 10-20 years when it comes to working from home.

It’s not going to work. For every person that hears the calls to boycott and acts on it, ten others won’t. For every person that hears the calls to boycott, ten others won’t hear that call at all. The only viable way of cutting into CoD in my opinion is to give people an alternative to play.

And people still playing those games. Kotick wouldn’t be as successful if those that usually buy Activision titles would care enough about the games getting worse.

Twitch is stuck between a religious rock and a hard-as-wood place.

And that is why I don’t torrent, living in Germany. Even just leeching will put you on the radar of, at best scam law firms, at worst motivated rights-holders.

Enough for the bottom quintile to be turning the thermostat down in all but one room and worrying about frostbite in the bathroom, but not for everybody else.

And here is where the author makes a crucial mistake in my opinion. When the poorest are forced to turn down their heating, then the middle class gets spooked they might have to as well in the future. They will vote for scaremongers and climate change deniers, and in the end your noble project of pricing oil out of the daily lifes of people will fail.

I doubt any consumer hardware is powerful enough to run a LLM undetected.
