Who in the world said western state propaganda was a good thing? Military recruitment and political ads are pretty universally hated.
I might also add that western tech giants and media aren’t directly owned by the state, nor is the state a dictatorship, so it’s a little different? You think Elon’s Twitter is on the same side as Bidens Executive is on the same side as the conservative Congress?
I mean, if we’re talking Hamilton it’s even further, being pretty clearly a commentary on the whole “founding fathers freeing everyone while most of them owning human beings they refused freedom to” thing.
Except premium pays the people that make the content. ReVanced is, regardless of if you hate big tech, blatantly stealing the work of the skilled artists you enjoy.
Everytime Firefox updates I have to restart the entire browser or it won’t let me open a new tab. This has been going on for years. As a dev, I can’t dynamically edit source during runtime ever since the Quantum update. It’s noticeably slower these days, which is especialy bad on mobile/laptops due to battery life. If you’re on Windows, you don’t get video super sampling (NVIDIA) or HDR videos.
I wouldn’t call it a buggy mess that crashes frequently, but it’s certainly constantly getting on my nerves.
It’s mid-way through 2023, so 3.5 years, right? That seems a little generous, but reasonable. Products for the next year are likely already designed and finished. Then it’ll take time for companies to redesign their devices now that they have to totally change how their chassis are designed, how they achieve IPS resistances, to source the new part, etc.
Yeah… they still haven’t added back live editing of JS. Their new profiler doesn’t provide framerate graphs anymore. Nothing like Lighthouse on offer. Gotta keep a Chrome-based browser around for any non-trivial frontend work.
They’re just build flags or compiler versions being different, no need to be melodramatic.
It would quickly need to be an allow list. It’s basically free to spool up an instance with Docker, it’d make those randomly named Chinese companies on Amazon look slim.
For instance: it could help remote villages or third world countries. But Starlink costs a pretty penny in western money those places lack. Otherwise they would already have traditional infrastructure.
Not really, though it’s hard to know what exactly is or is not encoded in the network. It likely has more salient and highly referenced content, since those aspects would come up in it’s training set more often. But entire works is basically impossible just because of the sheer ratio between the size of the training data and the size of the resulting model. Not to mention that GPT’s mode of operation mostly discourages long-form wrote memorization. It’s a statistical model, after all, and the enemy of “objective” state.
Furthermore, GPT isn’t coherent enough for long-form content. With it’s small context window, it just has trouble remembering big things like books. And since it doesn’t have access to any “senses” but text broken into words, concepts like pages or “how many” give it issues.
None of the leaked prompts really mention “don’t reveal copyrighted information” either, so it seems the creators really aren’t concerned — which you think they would be if it did have this tendency. It’s more likely to make up entire pieces of content from the summaries it does remember.
Thanks, I’ll look that up later! Hope you have a great day.
Does Lemmy have the ability to move an account to another instance? I know you can delete and recreate, but the former would be useful for occasions like this.
The overwhelming vast majority of mods are not power mods and did it because they liked their communities. They’re good people who worked hard to make a safe, fun place for others.
When awkward turtle got banned, they were happy too.
Very nice! Smart thinking using the multireddit link there, never even knew that existed! 😅
I think the next step is to secure VC funding or something. Yada yada yada, then collect your profits! /s
How are you liking Svelte?
All this just to say: I think the common denigration of this tech (not specifically your comment, since you clarified) is a cynical take that ignores important economic factors. Modern web development is flawed, but the direction it has moved is still forward.
Anyway, hope you have a good day!
It would normalize bot submissions, which is bad for a lot of reasons. Not the least, disproportional bot activity is one of the categories used for defederation for instances like lemm.ee.
I’m not a big subscriber to this notion. After working in both of the technologies (and more), and React/Vue is a significant boost in developer productivity compared to jQuery and AJAX. More features, less bugs, a more app-like web experience. Not to mention things like Native or Electron potentially saving on the cost of entirely separate apps.
Further, the resulting assets can be even smaller after minification and bundling as long as you aren’t creating one giant blob that gets shipped on every minor, unrelated change and includes all the dependencies and source maps and assets – it’s important to remember many bundlers include media files – on production.
I think there’s numerous opportunities for improvement to be had (diff-based updates, semver-aware CDN, smarter defaults, more leveraging of things like WebASM and improvement on the standards), for sure, but talk of “the good ole day” of jQuery certainly seems rose-tinted given how much of a mess it was in practice (for me, of course).
The other fella covered the more general user-generated approach, but the WefWef app has a way to migrate from Apollo using the JSON export tool they (Apollo) provide. Looks like the grab the JSON dump, parse out the subs, then generate a big list of community search links in-app.
Expanding on that, a potentially good idea to make this as easy as possible is to find a way of having the user export a list of subs from their Reddit account (either by biting the bullet and using the API or developing a user script or browser extension). Allow clients to register an anonymous user ID (to avoid tying identities together too hard) with such a list. Then the clients can update this user with what communities they join via what instances, along with what instances they joined at all.
Then your service would feed them recommendations.“Users from /r/programming[,…] tend to join programming@programming.dev” and/or “Reddit users like you usually join the fediverse through programming.dev”.
It may be worth DMing some of the Lemmy client developers to see if they’d be interested in such a service or if they have any better ideas. Smart people, them.
If you do end up doing work on this, please do post any cool ideas you have! It’s a neat domain space.
Hope you have a great day, good luck!
Most American allies depend on the US for defense, the US is the largest economy in the world, and the US is the largest ideological counterpart to countries like Russia - who want to use force to annihilate both dissent and opposition.
It absolutely matters to most well-informed citizens of any country the world over how we conduct ourselves because it does directly impact them. That’s part of the reason we should be better than we are.
I mean, you’re preaching to the choir. Most folk here didn’t want to send their kids to die in 'Nam or Afghanistan. Vets didn’t sign up to risk their lives for opium fields. American citizens were duped too.
We’re on the same side here.
I didn’t say that, but they take out ad campaigns and use PR firms like a normal company. Twitter does not work for the US government and the US government does not rig the algorithm it uses for feeds. The Washington Post is not controlled by the US government. Amazon is not controlled by the US government.
The distinction between that and what China or Russia does is important. They own the media. They own the companies. They own every method of communication and every interaction between their people. And they leverage that direct power to control narratives to say things like “Taiwan belongs to China” and “Ukraine belongs to Russia” and “Tianemen Square never happened”.
Meanwhile, you can see all the atrocities the US government did on Wikipedia. Sometimes even on the websites of the state itself. Reparations are discussed, sometimes won. Protesters fight with, yes, the risk of state violence, but not of tanks turning them into pudding that’s washed down the gutters. And with that knowledge, we can shape our own future democratically. Putin and Xi cannot be voted out.
All this is a long-winded way to say:
