  11·15 hours ago 11·15 hours ago- Which counties voted what and what was their voting record over the last 33 years on the issue condemning the USA blockade of Cuba? 
- WfW 3.1 
- This is excellent and important. It also serves to highlight that registrars are making an absolute fortune off the back of this effort. 
  41·1 day ago 41·1 day ago- Depends on what your blender is capable of. 
  10·3 days ago 10·3 days ago- Repeat after me … AI is Assumed Intelligence, there is no reasoning, no semantic anything, it’s statistics the whole way down. An LLM does not “understand”, it does not “think”, nor does it have “concepts”. - It’s autocorrect on steroids, one “token” at a time, a perfect example of “sufficiently advanced technology indistinguishable from magic”. - If it’s feeding you something you don’t like or disagree with, take it up with the billionaire charlatans destroying the global economy and our environment whilst running the crawlers gobbling up every website they can hit. 
  111·3 days ago 111·3 days ago- I’ve been thinking about this for a bit, if all traffic is end-to-end encrypted, the server connecting two endpoints doesn’t have access to the data, so as far as I can see there’s no reason that this couldn’t be implemented using federated services. - I would be surprised if such a service doesn’t already exist, just waiting for widespread user adoption, which undoubtedly relies on mobile phone apps to pass a minimum threshold of viability, something which both Lemmy and Mastodon both struggle with. - The people here today are really part of the early adopters, once you start seeing mainstream media talk about the fediverse, you can expect traction. 
- The difference is in having a shower first … 
  211·5 days ago 211·5 days ago- The consortium clearly has too much money. 
- It means your coffee pod machine just came online and the coffee is currently spewing from the spout … probably. 
  7·6 days ago 7·6 days ago- Very cool, didn’t know this existed! - For anyone who wants more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances 
- It’s a pretty common Dutch name. 
- /dev/null 
- Hmm … my name is Onno … not sure what to make of that. 
  2·7 days ago 2·7 days ago- If it’s never happened to you, how would you know that it’s happening at all? 
  3·8 days ago 3·8 days ago- Does this mean that the reverse is also true? 
  131·8 days ago 131·8 days ago- And all three users rejoiced! - Seriously, while self-hosting is an option for some, it’s not viable for the vast majority of humanity and unless something revolutionary happens, that’s unlikely to change. Ultimately, technology is complex and our dependence on it will continue to create friction. - As it turns out, not every problem has a simple solution. 
  11·8 days ago 11·8 days ago- Tantrums?
