Malicious compliance, but oh so sweet; I wish more subs would follow instead of ceding to blackmail. For example, /r/Apple could institute a rule that all posts must be pictures of apples (if the subscribers so choose by majority

How about as part of FCC approvals you submit everything needed to unlock the device, and it goes into a vault for X years than gets automatically released.

I got a chuckle out of that... I'd be very interested in hearing if this was ever done in the history of consumer loans (from a reputable financial institution). Don't get me wrong, I've got a 4% mortgage so would totally go

Let's hope so :) I now actively want Reddit to blow up.

Brandon Jackson, a Microsoft site reliability engineer, says an errant report of racist abuse led to the suspension of his Amazon account... Most of his smart home gear, he said, is self-hosted locally, via Apple HomeKit. All we'

Account management is the big gap here and (IMO) one of the main reasons that stops a mass migration to lemmy. I think what's needed is a decoupled account management solution that roams across all (federated) lemmy instances. You need

Looks like the sub is public again, so this may not have the impact they wanted.

Yes, and? This was obvious to anyone with a brain since early 2020. Are we going to ask China for reparations?

I'm a total newb about the implementation details, but I'm curious if a hybrid is possible (GPU+CPU) to enable inference with even larger models than what fits in consumer GPU VRAM.

So the AMA had 21,294 comments/questions and it included a total of 14 comments from u/spez (some duped), and a total of 21 comments from all the staff participating. LOL, why even bother with a "Ask Me Anything "?

You can hear the frustration in his voice, I recognize that tone very well :)

The difference is that there is no generally agreed upon alternative for the exodus, yet. Lemmy (like Mastodon for Twitter) is too big of a chore for regular people to use / understand. But FWIW, I exclusively use Reddit through the Ap

I use reddit exclusively though Apollo, so that will happen whether I like it or not starting June 30th... have no intention of installing the Reddit app.

They probably thought it'll be a "he said/she said" situation and people will err on the side of the big co vs. the little guy. It's extremely funny that the conversation was recorded, so satisfying to catch them in

Well now you made me curious to learn more about this mythical OS and browser... any leads?

When my mortgage was sold to a big bank I started getting charged a fee for "prepayment" (basically I'd do another payment against the principal once a year or when I had extra cash, which was a non-issue before the sale). Re

All regimes asymptotically tend towards authoritarian in the long run; from their POV it's just easier to do their job that way. AI will greatly accelerate this trend.

I will go on record as saying this will be one of the biggest flops in Apple's modern hardware history. They've shown no innovative scenarios that Hololens / Quest / Google Glass (and similar devices) hasn't shown b

The title is confusing. What is a GUI from scratch? A bootloader / mini kernel with framebuffer? A win32 application? Should probably be something like "Writing a Linux X11 application in assembly".

I've opened thousands of CSV files directly in Excel and never had one not open correctly (unless the file itself was not valid CSV, especially with things not quote-enclosed properly). It's likely I've mostly had to deal wit

The ship has already sailed... no one says one has to use the prescribed DoH protocol. An app could simply embed a list of known IP addresses and make custom TCP queries using entirely proprietary / opaque protocols to "resolve DN

LFS already has several "stepping stones" where it walks through a whole set of C compilers from very old ones compiling slightly newer / more capable ones and so on. Perhaps with a few more "layers of compilers" on

I'm wondering if you can build an actual "Linux from scratch" with this as the lowest level, without the need to use a host system at all.

Hey, desktop apps that embed JavaScript engines would also love to get an option 5 orders of magnitude less memory intensive :) Even ES5 (the rest can be polyfilled).
