  • Is Bluesky about to implode, and if it does - would this mean refugees coming here in any numbers?

    Jump

  • Me and the tankies might not agree on the role of government in people's lives but we can (surprisingly) agree that social interactions should not be controlled by a CEO.

  • Bluesky is centralized service operated by a for profit company

  • Comment on /r/BlueSkySocial: "why can't we have one single social media site with a CEO who isn't weird and bad" (one reply mentions Mastodon).

  • I wish counter.social would federate. It would make me feel more comfortable recommending them.

  • I know right? Like it or not reddit is still the gravitational center...

  • If the management on BlueSky is getting bad users could just move to another instance right? ...Right?

  • Lemmy Development Update September 2025

    Jump

  • Audio file support in lemmy-ui.

    This is cool, I wonder if this could lead the way to podcasts being released on the Fediverse lemmy with comments directly under the release itself.

  • Chatgpt just making stuff up

    Jump

  • Someone here said that LLM chatbots are always "hallucinating" and it stuck with me. They happen to be correct a lot of the time but they are always making stuff up. That's what they do that's how they work.

  • I do not consider critical thinking skills to be a "viewpoint". I consider them a requirement for intelligent conversation.

  • Nice thanks!

  • I think it's important not to victim blame here. These people were lied to, by the bots, and by the companies that say the bots are trustworthy. Their government that permits the false advertising is failing them.

  • I wonder how many just blindly believe the bots

    To be fair, the bots are being explicitly marketed as believable. The customers are being lied to. I personally try to have sympathy for them and direct my frustration at the legislators not enforcing false advertising laws.

  • Talk about choosing "a community", not "a server"

    Jump

  • I agree with this! Each server can have radically different approaches to moderation depending on their goals and some instances will a much higher tolerance than others. "Community" puts the local first.

  • How the US got left behind in the global electric car race

    Jump

  • This quote from Ford's CEO:

    "It's going to be a vibrant industry, but it's going to be smaller, way smaller than we thought," Ford chief executive Jim Farley said at an event on Tuesday.

    Combined with the following quote he recently said:

    Speaking on the Everything Electric Show podcast, Farley praised the [Xiaomi] electric sedan. "I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive a Xiaomi," he said. "We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up."

    Really feels like Kodak in the 90's kinda-sorta investing in digital but not willing to fully transform a majority of business.

  • What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?

    Jump

  • Ah ok I got it thanks, yes the goal is to replace the apps on my TV as seamlessly as possible.

    KDE bigscreen says it supports CEC but there is no official release yet. I still might give it a shot. I actually tried the Android TV you linked to (which also says it supports CEC) but it doesn't work. I know the hardware supports it because Libelec was seamless.

  • You're saying wayland is an interface that works with tv remotes and hdmi-cec? I looked it up and it seems to be not that.

  • ‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

    Jump

  • And it's not even lying, lying requires an understanding of the truth which they don't have. LLMs string together bullshit that happens to sound reasonable at first glance.

  • I mentioned in the post that I did try LibreELEC but the Plex plugin is very buggy and there is no functioning youtube plugin.
