  • I didn't know Poland liked corn that much, TIL

  • Yup. Corn production in the US uses 8 times more water annually than all AI data centers on the entire planet.

  • not much, how 'bout you?

  • Is this like UpDog?

  • reported.

    OP is inciting violence

  • ms paint kolourpaint - it ain't much, but at least it isn't AI.

  • linuxmemes @lemmy.world

    But they were, all of them, deceived

  • Yeah that is pretty massive, only getting 25% of the expected votes.

    I hope we keep this same energy going into November.

    (check your voter registration, vote, encourage everyone you know to vote, write pro-voting graffiti on bathroom stalls, dress up as a ballot for halloween, this next election is kind of a big deal)

  • I don't see any other choices other than:

    1. You host it yourself. (Peer to Peer social media)
    2. You pay someone else to host it for you. (Instanced social media)
    3. You trade your digital freedom, privacy and political stability of your country to someone else to host it for you. (Meta, X, TikTok)

    3 hasn't been working out so far and people really don't want to have to pay another subscription. So you can spend your battery life and data instead. Maybe setup the service so that other people can seed on your behalf, so you could use your own resources or pay for someone elses all in the same ecosystem.

    Peertube does a similar thing, using bittorrent to share the load, but it only works while you're actively watching the video so outside of very popular videos it is usually just the instance who is providing bandwidth. By tying the data sharing directly into the primary interaction method it creates a much larger pool of peers and, eventually, once everyone stops seeding it the data stops existing.

    No permanent record of everything you've ever posted, no central repository of data to be hoovered up by the AI startup who pays off the instance owner, no empowering a single person to control all of social media for their own selfish ends.

  • e: updated for clarity

  • CovenOS, a fork of TempleOS

  • High taxes are the compromise, we still have the torches and pitchforks if they're not interested

  • Was this supposed to be a close race?

  • Build it on top of Bittorrent. If you like a post, you're seeding it. When you want to stop seeding it, your like goes away.

    Then popular things will have a large pool of seeds mitigating much of the bandwidth cost to the instance host.

    With the side effect of making manipulating the voting algorithm with bots a lot more expensive.

  • That ship has sailed, we've been blacklisting felons for a long time. Even removing their ability to vote.

    Since we can't identify individual ICE officer, hiring any ICE officer is a risk because they could be the guy shooting off people's fingers or launching a tear gas grenade into people's head.

  • Also, there's the tactic of not using NTFS

    If you're into that kind of thing

  • There's a few of us

  • She speaks well of you in my experience
