sigh… This generation of games will all suck because of Unreal Engine 5. I’m a patient gamer, I have plenty of unplayed games on my Steam library. I will not upgrade my video card because of this horrendous game engine.

I’m running Manjaro since 2022 and it has been running smoothly. I guess I’m foolish…

Think of Reddit as Cyberpunk or Mirror’s Edge: a world controlled by corporations instead of governments. A corporation only seeks its own interests and those of its shareholders. In that world, you’re nothing. There’s no transparency, and you don’t have any rights.

Lemmy instances on the other hand are run by the community and funded by donations. As such, the interests of the group as a whole prevail; they are not the interests of shareholders. To maintain cohesion, transparency is necessary, hence the modlog. Without transparency, cohesion and community cannot be maintained.

Reddit and Lemmy are two completely different worlds.

Why is this upvoted? It an ad for a company.

There could be multiple factors. For example, I have a Nextcloud instance that is fully managed by Hetzner, and I didn’t bother to find out what database it uses…

Linux is a worldwide community project, and its source code is readily available. It’s nonprofit. Proton is now a Swiss nonprofit organization without shareholders (https://proton.me/foundation). Nextcloud is an open-source project that you can host on your own server or in the cloud, which means you have total control over your information.

These are nonprofit projects that don’t seek to monetize from you because you’re not the product.

OnlyFans’ purpose is to make money from your actions. The Fediverse is the antithesis of that. It’s run by donations, not corporations. Therefore, it will not exist.

The only way to escape these companies is to prioritize your privacy. When you do so, you’ll find replacements for the current capitalist platforms. For example, I switched from Windows to Linux and from Gmail to ProtonMail. I also switched from Dropbox to Nextcloud, which offers multiple services like a calendar and tasks. This means that I switched my calendar from Google to Nextcloud, for example.

The Guardian is no exception when it comes to sensationalism and not presenting research findings objectively.

We cannot forget that 3dfx went under when they bought STB to manufacture their own video cards instead of letting their board partners do it.

3dfx had market dominance in 90s but then basically committed suicide.

Very true. They committed suicide when they bought STB so that they could manufacture their own video cards. They didn’t just focus on chip R&D, they needed to manufacture and market their own video cards instead of letting board partners do it.

I don’t know about the worse but the best for me Star Trek Voyager. The intro song really makes you feel that you’re lost far from home, will live various adventures and will eventually return home.

Exactly! I think everyone will agree that a good example is the difference between Kitchen Nightmare UK and Kitchen Nightmare US. The UK version was more humane. There wasn’t a lot of shouting, and there were long scenes where we could see the situation develop. It focused more on human emotions and had deep moments.

The US episodes, on the other hand, are like watching something through the eyes of someone with ADHD. They don’t let scenes develop; they transition to another scene quickly. I hate it.

Currently replaying Borderlands 3 and playing Horizon Forbidden West.

The Fediverse is the way. In this Financialised capitalism, capitalist platforms will continue to be enshitified as they only tend to shareholders interests of continual growth. They do not care about humans.

We need to keep this momentum going.

It’s not AI. LLMs are not intelligent, they do not think. It’s only a marketing term.

Sigh . It’s not AI; it’s a machine learning algorithm. Nevertheless, this is the right use of the technology. Machine learning is all about finding correlations in big data, and this is a good example of that.

I agree. It’s ChatGPT style, I hate it.

Easy fix, never connect your TV to the internet, buy an Android box or Apple TV, connect it to your TV, enjoy.
