I'll be that guy.. 56% of normal

I think Google is headed to breach the trust thermocline (warning: a twitter link). I think why these collapses seem sudden and so large in scale is because there's so much inertia. Services / products that have become the standard can go well below the line that would be accepted otherwise and that's why they don't see big changes in user base while the enshittification process goes on.. So, for them the point where a large portion of the user base is even willing to try alternatives is already way too far.. and no small corrections is going to cut it. They try to find out what they did in the last months to cause this exodus but the reality is that they've been worse than competitors for years.

Nope, they can use your NPU, GPU or CPU whatever you have.. the performance will vary quite a bit though. Also, the larger the model the more memory it needs to run well.

People challenging the seriousness of the climate change are saying "we will adapt and survive like we always have".. Yeah, our "adapt and survive" could look like that.

I wanted physical books out of something that was only available as PDFs. So instead of going the sensible route I bought a color laser printer, learnt how to bind books, bought tools and materials, made a simple book binding press and made my own books.

Yup, it refers to conditions that occur together.

That quote means that actual facts are dismissed as leftist ideas by many americans (where Colbert lives).

How do you vote for a non-existent option with your wallet?

Umm, what makes you think that if they did exist they wouldn't also be explainable by science? Also, if you dig really deep into anything you'll find all kinds of fascinating stuff even if it's not supernatural.

How to dress for -30C weather. How to get out if you fall through ice into water.

Having a monopoly is not good.. I just wish others wouldn't completely ignore Linux users.. Valve/Steam on the other hand is seriously pushing it forward which makes me very much biased toward them.

One of the biggest problems when it comes to integration is that those immigrants were massed into certain places, usually poor neighborhoods where they formed their own somewhat closed communities and didn't intermingle with the local population. So the local population didn't "have to" interact with them and vice versa. So, they didn't learn the language as fast, didn't form connections to get somewhere.. those areas plummeted deeper into poverty.. which radicalizes both sides.

It would've been better to sprinkle them among various areas so they could have taken part in the existing communities, they would've learned the language faster and prejudices would've dissolved faster.

Why didn't that happen? People with more money and power didn't want them among themselves. Classism, racism and also capitalism at work. Government can try to change those but it can take decades.

this plus:

1. For many companies the majority of operating expenses are related to employees, so they will try to resist raising wages, preferably cutting them and/or firing people (also, union busting)
2. Product quality will suffer
3. They'll try to skirt regulations and lobby to overturn them
4. In capitalism there's no such thing as enough when it comes to ROI so we go back to 6.

Umm, in Finland there are sleeping cabins for 1-3 people and you need to reserve the whole cabin. No randos.

I must admit I don't know the situation well but I feel like "immunity from child emotional abuse claims" is not the right move. This feels like a symptom of much wider problems. Parents work way too much, kids spend too much time in school, too much revolves around being "productive". Parents can't parent much but they feel the pressure to provide their kids with best possible future.. Much is left to the teachers who probably need to do parenting work too without necessary time and tools. So they suffer, because kids suffer because parents suffer.

And if you don't pay, the Repo Men will come after you..

Yup, big corporations had a big part and a big part of the internet is shit. So, thanks.

Lemmy also gives you the possibility to set up your own instance and choose your own rules and who you federate with..

Where in the news do you see this extreme left represented?

It's one of the terrible hype trains again... However, I wonder what makes him think that humans are something clearly more than a model that gathers data through the senses and reacts to external stimuli based on the current model. I think that's special pleading.
