I’ve held back for now everytime i saw people referencing to @eicker@lemmy.world as a bot, but in all fairness i have the urge to speak up.

I do not care very much about this if the content is genuine and the comment is not asinine. Even if they generate their comments, they will reflect what they wanted to say in general, and the content itself is fine.

I do care if it involves generated videos (which is an absolute waste of ressources) or if the linked content is BS.

I think a change in leadership would show that a single unstable CEO can’t sink this ship, and it would be a very positive sign in general (depending on who they replace him with).

I am aware that AI integration in everything coding is not going away. My main gripe is that Yen creates an hostile work environment and will absolutely murder the institutional knowledge the engineers facing the chopping block embody.

I’d say: go ahead and go AI first (you will pay dearly for that sooner or later), but don’t be an asshat to the people who actually built the thing you are selling.

I think so too - people who pay for Protons services are keenly aware of such situations, because these things are the reason they signed up with Proton in the first place.

Noone cares much if the free account users switch, but the paying fractions opinion (like me) will have significant weight.

2 ways forward: go with Yen and observe Protons decay (which will also help physics!), or dump him and show the people that actually pay for the services that you still care.

Yep, if Proton plays its cards well, this could be a positive thing in the end. If they dump Yen quickly enough and replace him with someone who doesn’t suffer late-stage AI psychosis, it could be seen as a sign that even a brainrotten CEO can’t sink this ship because corporate culture is strong enough to fix things like that.

And I do not think Yen has as much staying power as the “usual suspects” in the AI frenzy.

Alcohol is actually worse than opiates from nearly every perspective, it’s one of the few addictions that can kill you just for quitting, and regularly killing people on both overdose and chronic usage (plus the societal cost of destroying the lives of people around the alcoholic). Compared to the actual damage your brain and liver takes from a bar dive and the added damage to the social fabric, i’d rather take a bunch of opiates and nod off for a few hours - most problems with opiates come from criminalization and unsafe environments.

I can speak from personal experience with fentanyl withdrawal that there is not much space for “rationality” when the need hits, and the danger becomes an abstract that does not deter anyone. I was hooked by my doctors on medical products and not street heroin, mind you. I’d compare it with the need to drink that glass of water when absolutely dehydrated on a hot day, with added intensity and pain. You are cold and nothing can warm you, your nose wont stop running, you can’t rest because your muscles on every part of your body cramp (worst for me were the cramps in the musculature around/between the shoulder blades which prevented me from keeping any position longer than a few minutes, closely followed by the intestinal cramping), and every single thought in your brain revolves around getting the next hit to get out of this situation, just as you would think about finally getting that glass of water you crave.

The body produces opiates for itself in small amounts, but if you add them externally, 2 things happen that make it a bodily need: your body reduces the amount of opiates it produces (which have an important function in regulating body temperature and muscle tone), and your body tones down the intense signal, so whatever opiates your body produces are not enough to keep everything running. Getting that system back to normal working conditions can take a pretty long time.

And then there is the aspect that the feeling opiates give you is not experienceable in any other way. It’s like the warmest, softest hug you’ll ever get, and a state of bliss. This makes it hard for people like me who already have psychiatric issues and recurring depression to even consider stopping - nothing else i’ve experienced in my life has ever come even close to that wave that washes over you and takes away all the pain and doubt.

I only was lucky enough to confess my problems to my primary care physician in a phase of acute withdrawal - i just couldn’t take the rollercoaster of “high or in withdrawal” anymore - that landed me in a substitution program. I am still addicted, but without both the positive and negative sides messing with me i can manage my life.

Generally speaking, RAM and RAM performance is one of the most important characteristics of any server that is actually being used. Processing power (single-threaded/multi-threaded depending on application) is the most important, but without the RAM to handle it, it becomes nearly useless.

That’s one of Trump’s “funny” nicknames, and Talarico leaned fully into it - you can buy “Talafreako” T-Shirts to support his campaign, and they sell pretty well from what i’ve heard.

It is a religion, and the thought leaders tend to be just as mature as expected when their theories get dismantled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJrhBwGw7Ac for more information.

I for my part have started to be on the lookout for auctioned off cheap PC hardware to build up a spare part depot. I’d rather go back to MS-DOS gaming before I rent a single CPU cycle from these people.

Client side code is the only code you can have control over.

I think he spoke with ChatGPT too much. It really seems to be unhealthy to do that, especially when you already have delusions of grandeur.

At least that one got downvoted, and the person advocating for letting these animals live got upvoted. Reality has a left-wing bias.

Those 41000 people are not made of “combat ready personell”, at least not the majority of it. There are a lot of pencil pushers in this dataset. If anything, it shows how few of them there are in practical terms.

And be very wary regarding any person telling you something is “Economics 101” - they are full of shit.

The engineers over at Google seemingly don’t give a fuck? I think a bug that effectively prevents a potential victim from calling for help should have higher priority, and most countries see it the same way, this is not a wise choice.

Such as Micron’s 89% margin on stuff they sell to businesses which create consumer products, up from somewhere around 30%

“The best camera is the one you have with you.”

Somethings amiss here, the article talks about a meteorite that broke up in earths atmosphere, and above there’s talk about mars

I’ve been there, it’s not a fun place to be. If anything, it hurts even more than simply missing hugs.

As i have seen with my ex-wife, love alone sometimes isn’t enough.

This feels pretty authentic.
