Can anyone enlighten me: What is the advantage of IRC over say Matrix, Email, etc…

I hadn’t read it before, and I thought it was interesting, and the article is still as relevant as it was back then. I thought many others missed it too. It’s also pretty well written.

People are in denial. AI is going to take programmer’s jobs away, and programmers perceive AI as a natural enemy and a threat. That is why they want to discredit it in any way possible.

Honestly, I’ve used chatGPT for a hundred tasks, and it has always resulted in acceptable, good-quality work. I’ve never (!) encountered chatGPT making a grave or major error in any of the questions that I asked it (physics and material sciences).

It’s only a matter of time until Google Maps will enshittify, too.

We could have separate instances for the normies and for the femboy linux users. And then, everybody can choose which instances to block/follow.

Tbf, democracies kinda always suffered from this problem.

The italian long-term prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was a comedian before going into politics. And so was english prime minister Boris Johnsson. In other words, they were used to catering to audiences, instead of having technical training. (IIRC)

I disagree. Such a thing is not feasible. In 1500, when the printing press was developed, Martin Luther tried to raise all people in the entire population to be priests, because “now that they have books, they can educate themselves”. Obviously, it didn’t work. I think most people just aren’t made for higher knowledge, and we should accept that fact rather than push people through a high-pressure high-stress levels school system.

I disagree. There’s a lot of reasons why people don’t have children, including:

• emotional devastated youth (abandoned by parents, addicted to smartphones, misunderstood by society)
• people can’t find partners for this reason
• too much stress from too much work
• wages are barely keeping up with inflation, and I project they will in fact not keep up in the long term in the US due to missing labor protections and decreasing demand for labor.
• rising cost of living because politically, nobody really cares about the population.

edit: sorry i realized i made these points US-specific but you were talking about russia, sorry.

To raise their motivation to come to work, right?

I want smaller games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less, and I’m not kidding.

I agree. Wholeheartedly. I think it’s just so obvious how quality dramatically takes off when the people creating it feel safe, sound, and economically stable. Financial Security (UBI) drives creativity probably more than anything else. It’s a huge win!

Yeah you can host your own blog on the fediverse. I’ve started similar attempts, in fact, such as !aniki_blog@feddit.org . I intend to expand it, but it takes time getting used to this type of personal web space.

normies

Honestly some normies would help us talk about something different than US politics, linux and being trans femboys. Honestly, we’d have some diversity in content. I’d like that.

Btw how do we stand on just blatantly copying and reposting material from reddit? I missed the announcement talking about that.

Sorry but i’m not in a mood for complaining rn.

How about, instead of complaining how bad your job is, you think of how a better/perfect job might look like. And then you talk about that instead.

Thank you for this well-thought and balanced viewpoint. It took me 19 days to process all the information.

So basically, I was wrong when I assumed that inverters had an efficiency of around 50%. That misunderstanding comes from the phrase that “filters in the inverter eliminate high-frequency components in the PWM’s output”. I thought they discard that power. But that’s apparently not the case. So the efficiency is more like >95%. So that’s good.

The issue I have with this that basically, now users need to “pay” (with compute time) to speak their mind. This would be similar than if you had to pay to vote in political elections. It favors the rich. A poor user might not be able to afford 20$ additional electricity bill a month, but a large agency (such as state sponsored, corporate agendas) might have a 1000000$.

I don’t think that would work well, because I knew no one when I came here.

Yeah, after all, we post on the internet for it to be visible by everyone, and that includes bots. If we didn’t want bots to find our content, then other humans couldn’t find them either; that’s my stance on this.
