I think there’s a fundamental difference between someone saying “you’re holding your phone wrong, of course you’re not getting a signal” to millions of people and someone saying “LLMs aren’t good at that task you’re asking it to perform, but they are good for XYZ.”
If someone is using a hammer to cut down a tree, they’re going to have a bad time. A hammer is not a useful tool for that job.
Don’t, be evil.
I’m so fucking glad Valve isn’t beholden to shareholders.
The people who create these services will always be more clever and quick to implement workarounds than politicians. It’s a futile battle.
Want to avoid piracy? Make getting things easier and more convenient.
Back when Netflix was £5-10 depending on tier, had a load of content, and an account could be shared between a few trusted people, I practically gave up pirating. Now it’s £18 per month for 4K (and due to rise), and doesn’t have those other positives going for it, I’ve abandoned it in favour of Radarr+Sonarr+Plex, and am having a better experience.
For video games, I predominantly buy from Steam, because it’s a good service, and so far I have not seen any evidence that Valve are going to fuck me over. They’ve made gaming and all the things ancillary to it a lot more convenient. So I happily pay. If they embrace enshittification, guess what I’ll do?
The only games I do pirate are Nintendo/Sega games that haven’t been sold in decades. Why? Because there’s no feasible other way to buy them and keep them!
I don’t pirate music because Spotify. For all the issues I have with it (and boy do I have a few), it still has almost every song I search for, is fairly priced, and hasn’t clamped down on account sharing in the same way Netflix/Disney/etc have. I’m part of a family where we split the cost. All the music I could possibly want for £2.20 per month? Fine by me! If that goes away, I go away, yarr harr.
Aren’t they banned in China anyway?
Patriot Lighting? A company name that would only emerge in the US lol
Perhaps you’re right. There’s no point talking to a hateful bigot for me either.
And for what it’s worth, you don’t need to tell me about your right to do that. You can either simply not reply, or you can block. You don’t need my consent.
They only did that because they were forced by AMD’s VRAM choices and unexpectedly great RDNA2 architecture.
Because of the memory bus that the 3060 had, it essentially had to have either 6GB of VRAM or 12GB, and it’d have looked stupid next to AMD with only 6GB, so they changed it to 12GB fairly late on in development.
It led to the bizarre situation of the 3060 Ti (based on the 3070 die) having less VRAM at 8GB.
So yeah, less that they didn’t want to price gouge, more that AMD was giving 12GB for similarly priced cards that were also much faster, and Nvidia knew that 6GB would look like a joke in comparison.
But it doesn’t change how FOSS networks […] are very leftist.
FOSS is essentially software socialism. It’s not surprising many of the people who love it espouse those ideals in other aspects of life.
Idk about that
Yes you do. I can see your post history on the topic. You know they’ve been censoring opposing viewpoints.
but they’re at least claiming to be removing censorship so let’s see how it goes
Claiming to be doing that then verifiably censoring political persuasions they don’t adhere to. Clearly following the Elon Musk school of being free speech absolutists.
(not too well so far)
Well at least you’re aware of it.
Hostile? Exaggerated in my opinion.
Well facts don’t really line up with your opinions, I guess. They were and are being hostile to LGBT people.
I support letting anti-LGBT and other anti- people speak in a not toxic way
Ummm… How? Legitimately how is that possible? Being anti-LGBT is inherently being toxic. What does that even mean?
It’s an impossible position. You cannot be anti-LGBT without being toxic in the same way you cannot jump into a pool of lava unscathed.
And you say they can deal with people who think differently?
Not really
But you initially said they could?
but this is how FOSS networks (Revolt and Lemmy in particular) made me be so like I’m not sure who’s at fault here and it’s not really the topic anyways.
Of course. You’re not at fault. Nothing is your fault. It’s those damn other people who made you this way.
That first story is very worrying.
Facebook certainly has a lot of issues but it’s way better for the mental health of sane individuals who can deal with disagreements imo.
That’s not what Facebook is like at all.
Have you considered perhaps that you’re simply more aligned with their (right-wing ranging to outright fascist) opinions?
Facebook as a company was literally doing stuff like censoring #democrats and started being openly hostile to LGBT people days ago. And you say they can deal with people who think differently? Lol
Ireland put out condolences to Hitler after he killed himself. They also treated Irish who went overseas to fight Nazis like absolute shit, many of them to such an extent that they moved country after the war.
Obviously now is a very different time to the 40s, but there are still some circles in Ireland that have… questionable… views on Jews.
They explicitly said the Republicans were on the side of the little guy. I probably don’t need to explain the awful shit that they’re doing that showcases that that is not what they’re doing.
Saying they’re “fighting for the little guys” while at the same time shitting on their political opponent is a clear show of support.
Now I don’t particularly care about the Proton CEO’s opinions. My opinion of CEOs is that they’re dickheads until proven otherwise. But when you publicly support this shit, and use your company’s official accounts to back yourself up, it becomes a lot more egregious in my mind. And even worse when they pretend they’re not actually doing that.
If a HDD is a 1 TiB, it should be marketed as such. If it is 1TB, it should be marketed as such.
If you buy a 1TB HDD and it appears as 931GB in Windows, then that is expected behaviour, as Microsoft has chosen to incorrectly label GiB as GB. Take it to them. They’re the multi-trillion dollar company to be angry at for falsely presenting numbers.
If they instead showed a GB number (rather than showing the GiB number but labelling it as GB) it would show the 1000GB as expected.
I know you’re really going for a “you’re a corporate bootlicker in the pockets of WD and Seagate”, but it’s really not sticking. I think you’re just going out looking for an argument.
Not really. The average person sees 8TB and assumes it means 8000GB. And… well… now it does.
Only a very small amount of people (tech nerds) could think it actually means 8192GB, and that each of those GB was actually 1024MB, and so on, and the people who know that also probably won’t be fooled by the misleading thing you say is happening (it isn’t. They’re calling a TB a TB, as they should be).
Personally I’m fine with kilo/mega/giga/tera meaning kilo/mega/giga/tera, as opposed to kilo/mega/giga/tera plus some extra. Nobody is stopping you from measuring things in GiB and getting the numbers you desire.
I can see that argument.
However it’s also true that most people who see the units assume it follows the same 1000-based system as literally everything else that uses those SI-prefixes does.
I somewhat doubt that all these international standards organisations are in the pockets of Western Digital and Seagate. It’s far more likely that they think “kilo means 1000, not 1024. Because that’s literally what kilo translates to.” Of course, the end result is still that it benefits storage manufacturers, but I highly doubt that’s what they set out to do.
Regardless of your opinion on the matter, getting that angry at people and dismissing them as bootlickers because they explain the GB vs GiB debate seems over-the-top to me.
It’s nice seeing an open source, modular laptop where it appears they actually tried to make it usable, rather than being the size of a large briefcase and weighing 5kg.
Well ok, I’m sorry you feel that way.
I hope you realise that international standards organisations aren’t setting standardised prefixes specifically to anger you.
Regardless of whether you like AI or not, it’s seems silly to pretend there’s no talent required for building these projects.
Of course there are talented people in the sector.
