Yeah, I predict that in the future, you can’t expect that content on the internet is written by humans. If you go to the internet, then it will probably not be to connect to other humans. Maybe you want to know something that a bot can tell you or you have some administrative task to fulfill, like filing a form.

yeah sorry i didn’t mean to sound rude. It’s just that I’ve heard too much “corporate bullshit talk” that i can’t just stay calm when i hear it.

The technological innovations of the last fifteen years, from advertising enshittifcation to AI cheating, have largely been a disaster. We are sadly at the point where, as Ted Gioia says, “most so-called innovations are now anti-progress by any honest definition.” I dare say that if we could revert all digital technology to where it was in 2009 – before the invention of the retweet – we’d all be better off.

I’d go back even further (to 2007) before the invention of the iPhone. The smartphone has, arguably, IMO been a bad, or at least premature invention. It created a generation of kids obsessed with their photographies, giving girls eating disorders and creating/spreading unrealistic beauty ideals, etc… Also it has severely disrupted teenagers’ social living, created sleeping disorders, chronic doomscrolling, addiction, and more bad stuff. The iPhone was, IMO, not ready for this world.

Yeah at this point peertube is mostly a video hosting system. We still need a good discovery/finding/recommendation system. I think that could be independently developed; for example: upload the videos on peertube and then link and post them here on lemmy to promote them.

I was going to upvote but then:

Hopefully it will start leaning into its unique strengths now and become really innovative.

Please stop the corporate garbage talk/pitching bullshit. Can’t we have a normal discussion without these buzzwords?

So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!” And I do not give a shit about linux. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content.

There’s also https://pony.tube ;-)

isn’t that why the hippie movement ended?

I have a question. Why do you assume that humans are identical to their mind, but not to their body?

Yes, it’s pretty cool. Side notes:

• plants produce a literally electrical voltage across cell membrane when collecting sunlight. The solar panel is very much a technological copy of plant leaves.

• biology can be incredibly efficient sometimes. storing information in DNA takes just about 40-50 atoms per bit, and DNA is about 2.5 nm in diameter. For comparison, the finest structures in modern computers are 3-5 nm in size.

• since powering the whole thing is incredibly important, animals have one specialized cell (mitochondria) inside every normal cell, simply for the purpose to convert the energy from sugar into a usable form. Plants have two of these specialized cells, with the other one’s job being simply to collect sunlight and turn it into usable energy. That, in my opinion, makes them more advanced than animals. ;-)

so, Facebook?

Good code is self-explanatory. You should only comment your code if it does something unexpectedly complicated.

That being said, it’s always a good idea to write a manual, about how to use the code. Don’t document how it works, because those who can code will understand it anyways, and those who can’t, have no need to understand it.

My dad’s re-learning Python coding for work rn, and AI saves him a couple of times; Because he’d have no idea how to even start but AI points him in the right direction, mentioning the correct functions to use and all. He can then look up the details in the documentation.

Short question: how would they enforce that? What if I use some obscure messenger that nobody has ever heard of? What if I simply use telnet or netcat to send messages to other people?

I personally prefer dialogs.FileDialog.open()

FileDialogFactory

This sounds like the typical plot of a story from The Codeless Code.

Edit: How about this story specifically?
