I’m not an apple fanboy, but Steve Jobs really understood why and how huge corporations ended up making shit products. I think that he played a huge roll in making them stay as design focused as they were.
Here he is succinctly explaining the issue: https://youtube.com/watch?v=P4VBqTViEx4 (2:30)
It solves it like a pack of flextape solves the titanic’s water incursion problem.
This is just treating a symptom of the underlying fractures in the capitalist foundation.

For a second there, I thought Pathfinder was getting an update. But this is about Packet Filtering, lol.
That YC comment section was an interesting read. One user there seemed very likely to be working on behalf of the AnAg industry, likely the NCBA or its ilk. It’s annoying how effective Gish gallopping is.
In some respects, I’m glad Lemmy still mostly flies under the radar.

AI has been a well established field of computer science for over 50 years. While LLMs are certainly a part of that field, it’s technically incorrect to conflate the two.
Just using “LLM” is also a bit over-specific, however, as it’d exclude text-to-image models, and others. “GenAI” is probably the most correct term to use to refer to the transformer-based deep neural networks that have become popular in the last several years.
That said, language prescriptivism is rarely effective. So while I agree it’s incorrect to call this “AI”, good luck getting laypeople to use the correct technical language from a field they mostly have very limited knowledge of.
I didn’t know either, so here you go:
The Flipper Zero is a portable multi-functional hacking device developed for interaction with access control systems.[1] The device is able to read, copy, and emulate RFID and NFC tags, radio remotes, iButtons, and digital access keys.
Let’s be honest, that’s what they say, but it’s a half truth. The other half is that solving your problem even when it’s 100% their fuckup still costs them money, so they want you to jump through hoops of fire to get what you fairly deserve.
It’s just another b.s. form of gouging the customer.
Even his face is a scam. I’ve never seen anyone whose entire facial expression looks like a constant veneer, barely hiding how he only sees others as an opportunity for exploitation. It’s uncanny.
Wasn’t Schrödinger’s cat originally supposed to be a refutation of superposition anyways? Like it literally makes no sense that the cat is simultaneously alive AND dead, and that’s why Schrödinger sent the example in his letter to Einstein.
It’s wild that it still gets trotted out as an explanation of Copenhagen interpretation to this very day. Total pet peeve. (Pun intended?)
After Trudeau self-sabotaged electoral reform, I decided to never vote for them again until they fulfill that promise. Lying is the norm for the Liberals, so fuck em.
Could we maybe focus on infrastructure that makes people’s lives better, like robust public transportation and cycling infrastructure? Is it crazy that maybe we could focus on reducing our oil dependency before building more pipelines?
“Look what you made me do!”
Colloquially, apps usually just means phone apps these days. So that means it’s probably Android Play Store, and iOS App Store.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing your perspective. I appreciate it.
Honestly surprising to see the ratio here. (11⬆️ to 7⬇️ at time of posting.) Downvoters, I’m curious about your rationale: why do you think this is a bad idea?
From the readme of the branched project:
This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It’s explicitly free of any “DEI” or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who’s treating others nicely is welcomed.
While I’m personally generally pro DEI, especially in state institutions and for profit business, anyone who’s been following OSS for the last several years can see how it’s been a double edged sword that’s been abused negatively by corporate entities that stand to profit from engaging as a bad actor.
So while a “DEI free” disclaimer is certainly a red flag, it might be worth abstention of judgement.
Y’know, while I also think it’s exaggerated, there’s definitely some truth to it. I was playing it on my phone while my friend’s kids were watching, and they incessantly tried to get me to pick opening packs over any other game mechanic.
I think it definitely does abuse that “loot box opening” dopamine pathway a little too well in a perhaps a less than healthy sort of way, even if it doesn’t cost you any real money.
So while it is a very good deck building strategy game, I totally get the reason it has the reputation it does.
Is what I would’ve said if I didn’t read the article, but it addresses that pretty well. The jist is VC went in with expectations of greatly decreasing costs, which is happening with older models, but nobody wants to use older models.
So, costs are actually going up, and the bubble will keep swelling, I guess.
