That sounds like a really dumb design idea. Why make a federating protocol if you still rely on the server? I don’t even get why they did it at all then.

That’s indeed very interesting and peculiar.

Weirdest troll 2024.

For me it’s 4 Lemmy results and then 2 reddit results and after than chaos ensues.

They fucked around and found out. Whatever their cost cutting is will now make or break the company. If it’s GPUs, they will commit to clawing at their CPU share. If it’s CPUs (which sounds like the wildest plan), Nvidia might finally have to stop fucking around.

We’ll see, but it’s a very important decision and it will take them years to catch up to whatever they are committing to

In a perfect world he doesn’t deserve it either. He deserves extensive jail time.

No one deserves to fear for their life for 3 years straight.

what a retard

Probably didn’t need the personal insult. Reddit with it’s CEO huff and puffmann is basically as bad as it gets, so I’m happy about every competition. Obviously Lemmy is doing way better but I’d be happy for Discuit to do well too.

That mod looks insane

With all the hot takes and dichotomies out there, it would be nice if we could have a nuanced discussion about what we actually want from AI right now.

Not all applications are good and not all are bad. The ideas that you have for AI are so interesting, I wish we could just collect those. Would be way more helpful than all the AI shills or haters rn.

Wait that’s genius. I would listen to Snoop Dogg teaching me particle physics any day of the week.

As someone who only ever played civ 6, I played one game for a whole week and never got bored.

So whatever draws you to civ 5, I am drawn in to civ 6 the same way.

I find that very interesting, considering you don’t like it as much.

I mean if there’s a time to test it out, it’s right now I would argue.

Lemmy is still small enough to test those things.

Yes. I didn’t list blender because blender is kind of a unique case. An open source tool that basically slowly became industry standard? That’s a 1 in a million from what I’ve seen. But: as soon as you get professional, like I said, all the plugins and additional software will cause headaches, provided it works at all. The tools I listed there afaik do not have native support / are very unstable on Linux, although I haven’t confirmed it.

But yeah I get your point, and it is quite the accomplishment to the blender devs that they made it this far, tho it is not the rule.

Yes and people sell Linux to my like “either it works out of the box or it takes like 1google search” and that’s polar opposite from my longer experience on Linux.

For work I had to set up an Ubuntu VM. Ubuntu is one of the most stable OS variants. But: it literally started throwing system application errors after 2h from a fresh install. We thought it was a one time thing or that we did something wrong so we tried again. The OS disk image was official and our VM Software was Virtual box. Both are supposed to be stable. And still, the OS started crying 2h in every time.

Or another time where I had to find scanner drivers and I lost it. 5h of searching and tinkering, I had to rewrite scripts I found which didn’t work, had to add package manager repositories to my system, and try to look for 15y+ old forum posts which get very technical but also not really in depth. For a fucking scanner.

And then that time aI wanted to install some software (I think maybe Skype) from the official Ubuntu store. But it just wouldn’t work. Everyone else apparently had no issues online. Everyone except for me. Tried to install it through downloading an archive and when that didn’t work I installed it through the terminal apt-get. It still wouldn’t work iirc.

Or that time I had an Ubuntu VM for like half a year and applications started to hang and the system started getting random issues.

Or that time Linux system just threw errors on every system upgrade (same happened to updates).

This is a reoccurring thing and this toxic Linux positivity will only make more people mad when things are not as promised and they realize they are fucked.

Yeah wtf

• Try producing decent music on Linux: run into issues with DAWs and plugins.
• try 3d anything more advanced on Linux: any fluid or gas simulation gets annoying real quick (real flow, Houdini, vray, octane)
• try layouting / handout design on linux: yeah let’s hate on Adobe (and I do think they deserve it) but let’s also realize most of the industry runs on their tools and Linux makes it complicated

Either you sacrifice money and freedom, or you sacrifice time and sanity. And I’m sorry, if I wanna do multiple of those things there’s no way around mac or windows. I wish it was different, but it isn’t and we gotta be realistic here.

And yes I see y’all shouting that there’s a way for all of those things through workarounds but: for every of those that works for me, there just as many that don’t work, than just as many that restrict me in different ways, just as many that require documentation that I have to pull out of my ass cause it’s not online, and just as many that make me look for the toenail of a harpy and sauron’s tears to work.

Linux is not a direct alternative to windows, but it’s a lifestyle and a commitment and I’m not out here trying to make it my personality, I want software to work in less than a month of me deciding to install it.

I can see the down votes rolling in on this but I’m tired of ppl selling their lifestyle instead of their OS.

Would love if there was open source software hard budgeted in there on an EU level…

My point of view is that one thing leads to another.

Can’t tell if this means it’s normal to become a pimp and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

I mean yeah if it’s not in the original contract that obv makes it way easier, assuming they didn’t suddenly agree to a second contract mentioning explicitly that.

That is, either terms of the contract can be unenforceable, the whole contract could get voided or the the terms are not in the contract. Any of that means there’s a good chance the hotel is doing illegal things.

And quiet frankly, if I were the hotel I would not try that stuff, and even if I announced this, I wouldn’t follow through.

Way to make your lawyers and bank account work overtime.

Let’s break those contract down: contracts are enforceable. Unless, they interfere with other rights you have and those take priority. How? Well there’s things like conscionability and consideration.

Consideration means, both parties have to get something in return. It can literally be a corn of rice, but it has to be something.

Conscionability means there’s things too egregious to be enforceable through contract law.

For example I can’t sign a contract that I want to be killed by someone else. It gets very complicated, but in it’s most basic form, it is unconscionable to just chalk a death up to freedom, just because you found a contract of the victim stating they want to be killed. The investigation takes priority and a prosecution’s case could be brought in spite of any contract. This render such a contract void.

So what does this fall under? Well there’s a lot of rights that people that rent a property have and that they can enforce against them against the landlords. Some of those rights pierce the veil of the contract and therefore are enforceable in spite of the contract.

Now I am not sure about the rights in this particular situation but there is a solid chance this creates a legal claim against the hotel company.

My point is, both of you are right, but you are getting down voted right now because you are ignoring the the fact that contract law, although very broad, is not absolute, and especially in this case it might be unenforceable.

Obligatory IANAL.

in full compliance with the letter and the spirit of copyright law

That is some real semantic acrobatics. The law is supposed to follow societal norms and reflect boundaries accordingly. Yeah, AI laws take time, and obv there hasn’t been enough legislation done. That said, the EU for example already has a law for AI but the member states need to adapt that into national laws now.

There is law here. And even though I’m sure what they are doing rn will be illegal or at least very heavily regulated in the future, they might be doing something illegal today. Depending on how eager governments are to litigate, this might already get dicey in the coming months.
