Garbage In/Garbage Out: Some signs of AI model collapse begin to reveal themselves
A recent study has found that the richest 10 percent of the world population are responsible for two-thirds of observable climate warming
"The problem I've found is that it's easy enough to create a Reddit clone using Lemmy, but getting people to actually use it is the issue."
Astronomers detect dimethyl sulfide on distant planet: "On Earth, the only known source of dimethyl sulfide is life."
A good thread to mention Lemmy in - a Daily Show segment about social media companies, most of the commenters don't seem to realize that nonprofit social media exists!
Lemmy mentioned in an r/coolguides post "A cool guide for leaving big tech." - You know what to do
Colm Meaney wanted to play O'Brien as American. “Rick Berman sat me down and said, ‘The whole notion of this show is that it’s multiracial’… I reluctantly started to play him Irish"
YouTuber travels to the filming location of Veridian III and shows what's left of Soren's rocket launcher and Kirk's burial site.
If we're getting upset by canonical inconsistencies I have to wonder what bothers you about the Discovery Klingons specifically when I see no mention of the significantly more comprehensive "reimagining" of the TMP (or later the TNG) Klingons? Just seems like an odd place to draw the line.
It was two years...
I'm just saying, the term "capitalism":
is defined by a number of basic constituent elements: private property, profit motive, capital accumulation, competitive markets, commodification, wage labor, and an emphasis on innovation and economic growth.
OP said that enshittification is "the MO of capitalism", and that just definitionally doesn't really make sense because enshittification (as defined by Cory Doctorow) happens not under capitalism, but what he calls "techno-feudalism". Where you see monopolies existing and antitrust laws not being enforced, you are not seeing capitalism because you are not seeing a competitive market.
Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.
Also don't overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.
I agree, like I said I fully own that I was being pedantic over definitions.
Yeah absolutely, and woo pedantry that's on me for oversimplifying. I do recall reading (I can't find it right now) an essay where he said that "enshittification" as he describes it can happen in any situation where an entity has trapped both consumers and businesses but that it's more common with tech companies because they move faster than regulations do.
things simply getting worse doesn’t fit my understanding,
fwiw I totally agree but if I may play an uno-reverse-pedantry card on you, Cory has said he doesn't care if someone uses the word to simply mean "gets shitty".
As long as we agree that the term "enshittification" describes a failure of capitalism (and not it's "MO").
I know Cory Doctorow (who coined the term) has said that he doesn't mind if people use the term "enshittification" to simply mean "product gets worse", but the definition he gave it specifically refers to anti-capitalistic practices (what he calls "technofeudalism").
"Enshittificiation" as described by Doctorow hurts businesses too. "Capitalism" definitionally implies the presence of a competitive market. "Enshittification" (like you said nothing new) describes what happens when a market is no longer competitive because it controlled by a single entity (monopoly). "Enshittification" happens when the government stops enforcing laws that protect free markets and allow capitalism to break down.
Sorry for being a pedant but I see those words gets thrown around a lot in ways that IMO can muddle the meaning.
I don't think starfleet captains have the authority to command the hearts and minds of their officers.
True, I edited my comment. I personally recommend the USB method (or if you have easy access to the internals- just swapping out an SSD).
It got cloudy
First of all, you are on feddit.nl and cannot speak for"Lemmy". That said- if anything, "Lemmy" users should be supporting independent journalism like 404 Media.
It's to prevent scraping/harvesting by AI: https://www.404media.co/why-404-media-needs-your-email-address/
They do not ask for a phone number.
It takes some doing, but you can live boot windows from a USB drive for those rare instances you need it. You can also just install it to a VM inside Linux (also not easy). But honestly these days the times where you'll NEED Windows are few and far between (and getting fewer and farther).
Not liking someone is not a good reason to root against decentralized platforms, IMO. The entire point of decentralization is that nobody gets to control the experience and who is/isn't allowed to participate.
Unless he joins fedia.io you don't really get a say in what he does... kind of the entire point behind decentralization....
It's also an avenue for attacks.

The growth of the network*
There are many platforms in the Fediverse. The fact that the network can survive the collapse of one platform is a strength of decentralization. The Lemmy/mbin/piefed universe can only ever be exactly as big as we, the users, want it to be.
