Spin

Somehow it’s still set in the present day, present time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Newish account to promote loops

Probably, but it seems to be an open-source fediverse community project with no VC backing, so I don’t begrudge them it. Like, how else do you get projects like this seen if not in a fediverse discussion community, you want them to just buy Google ads instead?

It’s extremely unhealthy for a free society, to have too much power imbalance between the ruling classes and the people.

Yeah. I’m a big fan of his, but his social media presence has always had the whiff of “professional social media team” about it.

The sad thing is that when it bursts it won’t do it in a hilarious “billionaires all get shafted” way like it didn’t any of the previous times. It’s far more likely to take the form of the most powerful AIs suddenly only being accessible to the wealthy.

It would have been so easy for influencewatch to write that in a neutral way, but they couldn’t help themselves from editorializing their very clear opinions into it, almost to the extent that it reads like an industry shill managed to get some edits in.

it’s your choice to live there

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not because that is an awful argument. The housing market isn’t this perfectly liquid thing where there’s always another house to choose from that fits all your requirements a reasonable distance from your workplace.

If we’re playing “everyone who disagrees with me must be a shill”, how much is your agency billing Google to simp for them on social media?

/s

To me it feels like there’s two Googles. The one that was run by Page and Brin was awesome, pretty much everyone in the industry wanted to work there.

Then they put someone else in charge to maximise shareholder revenue, and it went to shit soon after.

I’m going to throw that accusation of disinformation right back at you. He’s careful not to use the words “open source” verbatim, but it’s very clear what he’s talking about.

Every detail of the article is a fair summary of what he said, and you’re trying to pettifog over a string match.

I’m not clear on what your point is then. Your initial “it will be a struggle to get rid of” pivoted to “abrupt event”.

If you’re trying to make the case that we should all move off MS as soon as possible in order to avoid the damage of an abrupt event then yeah I’m in complete agreement.

I don’t see how that’s true. It’s a little bit of a change to go to open source. Might need a day of training for a small percentage of particularly slow-minded staff members. Definitely nowhere near “organization is no longer viable” territory.

Remember, whenever you see a patently weak argument like this from a trillion dollar corporation, they’re not saying it because they think anyone will believe it. They’re saying it to give the corrupt politicians in their pocket some way to pull a straight face when voting in the corporation’s favour.

Technically yes, but unlike e.g. Facebook it isn’t specifically calibrated to prioritise engagement over anything like truth or sanity. https://www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/machinelearningtimes/five-points-for-anger-one-for-a-like-how-facebooks-formula-fostered-rage-and-misinformation/12344/

Ok but that photo of a building you posted could just as easily have been taken in any British town in the 1980s

The torrent protocol is quite happy for you to only download and seed some files within a torrent, it’s just that the most popular client for it isn’t very good at managing very large archives.

I’m guessing there’s probably an alternative client that is better at this, can anyone tell me what it is? If there isn’t one I’ll make one, but I don’t want to burn a weekend duplicating something that already exists…

Most of my mp3s from back in the day are 128kbit, so 160 is an upgrade for me.
