Can’t really compare the two. I like both but for very different, almost opposite reasons.

ooooh you really walked into that one

I’ve come to accept that US Americans do this, that America can be a synonym for USA, but in this context they really should have sprung for two more letters… 🤣

(I’ll forgive them fo the car though, looks old enough to not include in the statement)

alien: whelp, I guess it’s this then:

We’re all just beta testers.

Only one. Because he created the board so there’s no need to invite him.

Is it that thing you need to pay $1bn (one billion) to get in?

I understand that media have to report on this, but still: this is sanewashing. This person is unhinged or worse. But if all of his admin fall in line behind his smelly brainfarts, unquestioningly, we must take it seriously. It’s fucked up.

Oh, I see it now. Yeah, another 5 minutes wasted.

TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.

But it’s the Daily Fail, so 🤷

That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.

I used to have a static IP at home so I cold run my own physical server. I stuck it under the fridge because there were wall plugs and I didn’t want it in my living room. Hence the name.

It used to serve NFS shares locally, websites and CalDAV/CardDAV globally. A dual-core-but-32-bit stone old intel processor, 2GB of RAM, and never a performance problem.

Agreed. They follow the seasons of his Lies Social posts, and he follows the seasons of his own outrage.

weird emotional appeals

“I think we’ve done a lot of damage lately with very well-respected people who have painted a doomer narrative, end of the world narrative, science fiction narrative. […] It’s not helpful to people, it’s not helpful to the industry, it’s not helpful to society, it’s not helpful to the governments.”

“Our viewpoint is that we are trying to help consumers around the world. We’re just doing it through different channels. […] What’s going on right now is that the TAM [ed: Total Addressable Market] and data center is growing just absolutely tremendously. And we want to make sure that, as a company, we help fulfill that TAM as well.”

IMHO there’s much hobbiness and fun to be had with creating a second or third life for “outdated” hardware. The current RAM crisis leaves me cool, on a 2014 ThinkPad. My kitchen server was a 2008 HP laptop.

it’s going to run across something it can’t do. And then what?

Experience shows that more often than not it will just lie to you.

I’m not saying you don’t have a point, but can you back that claim?

https://www.w3.org/membership/list/ => 336 members, only one of which is Google.

This is actually really good - potentially big news.

The Social Web Working Group will work closely with the Social Web Community Group, the organization that has been stewarding ActivityPub and its extensions since 2018. The Community Group will remain the focal point for innovative developments extending ActivityPub into different areas like geosocial applications or threaded forums, while the Working Group will concentrate on the core documents.

Guildford previously denied in December that the West Midlands Police had used AI to prepare the report, blaming “social media scraping” for the error.

lol, as if that was better (assuming they took all findings at face value).

We’ve reached out to Microsoft to comment on why Copilot made up a football match that never existed, but the company didn’t respond in time for publication.

I’d love to hear their response, but the real answer is obvious: “it’s a black box. We have no idea what it’s doing. Yes, we unleashed that on the world. Not sorry though, we just have to keep hoping that it sorts itself out.”

Isn’t it also - at least in practice - bound to Google servers?

I’m guessing there’s many different types of cucumbers, but now that you said it, yeah, definitely ai and definitely somehow a mix of cucumber and zucchini, although all these plants are related anyhow.
