Like a free ride when you’ve already paid

yeah but “sir meemsalot” put his watermark on it so it must be good

using arch, btw

More likely independent Chinese and Russian plans harmonizing because they want the same thing, which is destabilization and collapse in the west

I am genuinely surprised at the amount of people in the comments who don’t realize this is satire

What’s funny to me is instead of making a law all manufacturers would need to agree to, they “reached a deal with Samsung.” This is Texas power grid energy

Yeah Anthropic has a whole research department for this

And you’re exactly right. Models at this point are like a trillion floats in complex vectorized matrix math and we don’t really know how that works to produce the output we see

I think the answer is pretty complex and gets into why online communities in general become hostile, not just Reddit.

First off, there are incredible amounts of money and effort being spent to make people feel tribal and hate each other. Destabilization happens by convincing people that those next to them are at fault for their woes, and ensuring they don’t look up at the strings being pulled.

Second, those who generally aren’t hostile naturally don’t gravitate to places that are, so the gravity of hostility increases by hostile people being there and echoing hostility to those they perceive to be being hostile to them, even if the sentiment is “be less hostile.” It’s baked into meme culture. “Touch grass” is genuinely like “hey go outside, take a breath” at its core, but is now an insult or hostility that gets a reaction of further hostility.

Third, the world is really fucking shitty in ways outside of most people’s control. You can vote, martyr, donate, but generally the world has gotten to a close point to 100s of sci fi stories we’ve written warn us about, and so some people are just doing what the money in item one is spending, the conditioning works. Feels warm to hate someone. But then for those on the opposite they want to hate what they consider stupid.

That being said, people are genuinely shitty often, and it’s foolish to pretend that’s not the case. Open source has often been full of pettiness and bickering. Many a GitHub threads are just arguing about someone who wants a feature and is mad at volunteer developers for not delivering it. I could go on a tirade but I’ll end there

I haven’t seen how Lemmy responds to troubleshooting requests about Linux. But I remember some Linux Reddit communities being full of vitriol of like “don’t use things you don’t understand” or like “distro? version? Hardware specs? Logs? Did you even search?” Which I believe led to people just starting out uncomfortable with asking for help there

engineers are just letting

That’s a bold claim cotton, I’m sure there are no project managers, middle managers, or executives involved

Can’t wait to see how much lint is in her dryer

Even more ironic “betting industry consultant.” Literally works in an obsessive “get rich quick” industry and is mad someone wants to get paid

Remember, if you’re brown and get accused of doing that, fat dudes pretending to be tactical black bag you. If you’re a rich celebrity and literally do that, people just laugh and it’s ok

Or Kate, which funny enough now runs on windows

I think spotify / discord / vscode (and derivatives) / slack are probably the most installed electron apps.

A lot of pretty popular packages in those lists are electron apps, unfortunately

Lol yes, another post of his from 2 years ago

Yeah the Human Interface Guidelines were the precursor to design systems, and for a little while, design/ux really was front and center and that influence and patterns that worked spread through software projects and products. Nowadays sadly UX always takes a back seat to capitalizing on attention, and capitalism in general.

Edit: It’s important to remember that Apple was writing 350 page interface books in 1992. They pioneered “look and feel.”

Nowadays those questions are like

“Did the user make a purchase? How many ads did they see in 15 seconds? Are they still scrolling? How much data have you collected?”

Well, you haven’t seen what’s under the skirt

Stoicism has become commoditized as a way to convince people that their lot in life is just their attitude, and the more they put their shoulder to the wheel to produce for the top of the pyramid, the more it works out for them, rather than questioning the wheel. The hustle and grind culture is just as much the goal of something like the heritage foundation as “deport the brown people.”
