  • New Conservative ads aimed at older men show golfers, Harper but no Poilievre

    Jump

  • Doug Ford is famously dismissive of the media. He even created his own literal fake news outlet to avoid having too talk to them.

  • Need advice on a one pc home

    Jump

  • I'm setting up something similar using Unraid and VMs. This route would probably be more of a challenge for you technically.. But if you're willing to learn, and pay, Unraid sounds like it would be a good fit for what you're trying to accomplish.

  • Trump believes Canadians would 'benefit greatly' from becoming 51st state, White House rep reiterates

    Jump

  • Fuck yeah, keep making these comments. At least for the next two weeks. Then kindly fuck off.

  • X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

    Jump

  • Because you need network effect. Which means you need big money for marketing, content moderation and development costs. That includes algorithms, which maybe you don't want, but most people do.

    It's not that I want a for profit company, I just don't think Mastodon will every achieve critical mass without one.

  • Some Conservative supporters question whether the polls can be trusted

    Jump

  • Don't trust the polls is a precursor to stop the steal.

  • X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research

    Jump

  • It's not the users, it's the developers / investors. I've tried so many times to get into Mastodon, but it sucks compared to Bluesky. It lacks content and polish, so it's no wonder everyday people choose Bluesky over it.

    The real conundrum is why isn't there a for profit company with big money behind it, investing in ActivityPub. I guess you could point to Threads? But insert your "not like that" meme of choice.

    Fwiw, apparently Bluesky did initially look at activity pub, but found the protocol lacking, which is why they invented ATProto. I don't know the details though.

  • Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow?

    Jump

  • No thanks, our conservatives are further to the left than your Democrats, and California has the population of the rest of Canada combined. You can make your own country

  • This Photo of Mark Carney and Tom Hanks on "Epstein Island" is Going Viral. The Photo is Completely Fake.

    Jump
    1. Lol, they didn't even remove the watermark.
    2. Why throw Tom Hanks under the bus?

  • Not taking money from Google means Firefox dies. Straight up. There's absolutely no amount of "focusing on the basics" or cutting executive salaries that would make up the deficit, not even close.

    We all wish that wasn't the case, me especially. But that's the reality.

  • Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak says Tesla ‘is the worst in the world’ at improving its technology for drivers

    Jump

  • I mean... I still need to go into the dealer to update my 2021 Toyota software. And they certainly don't provide updates for anything other than safety related issues.

  • Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak says Tesla ‘is the worst in the world’ at improving its technology for drivers

    Jump

  • Speak for yourself. I think that's one of the things Tesla got right. Cars shouldn't have features locked behind software updates though.

  • Yeah, it does. But I think the intent of "Magastan" is to draw a comparison to "those countries". But this is stooping down to Trump's level imo

  • Don't sully the "-stan" countries like that, they don't deserve that association.

  • What does “PhD-level” AI mean? OpenAI’s rumored $20,000 agent plan explained.

    Jump

  • It means it took a lot of time and money to gain vast sums of knowledge, but has no useful ways to apply it.

  • Donald Trump Accuses Canada of 'Cheating' Amid Tariff War

    Jump

  • You can always do that manually when creating the post

    True, but you won't. You'll click the button that automatically populates it instead.

    I do think AI could enforce having a quick summary at a glance... if it was reliably accurate. But again, why do that and prevent traffic from going to the people who did all the work

    Yeah, that's why I don't like the summary idea, because then even fewer people would click through. It also requires opening the comments which also most people won't do.

    I guess fewer people click through with less sensational headlines too, but at least they're not mislead.

  • Donald Trump Accuses Canada of 'Cheating' Amid Tariff War

    Jump

  • I know we all hate AI here... But getting an AI to rewrite headlines to de-sensationalize them sounds like a fantastic feature for a Lemmy client to implement. Just need mods to allow it

  • What do you do for "idle time" on your phone?

    Jump

  • I can quit anytime. Right after I see what's after the next blind.

  • 50% of all Steam users in February were Chinese-speaking

    Jump

  • I'm guessing China has a separate client to comply with the law without needing to add backdoors for everyone else?

    Seems strange that they were previously excluding those numbers either way.
