I keep hearing this, and I KNOW it’s true at the enterprise level, but I’ve been running my home LAN IPv6 native for the last - 6+ years? Ever since I learned Comcat would vend it to you from their stock router.
Works great. No problems. Didn’t used to be that way, but these days most (more?) of the stack bugs have been shaken out.
Just here to say thank goodness for the EFF. I support them, and if you live a cushy life like I do and have the money, you should too.
I looked at their site and thought: What a #!@$ stupid idea.
The whole thing stinks of Twitter brain. “Follow topics, not people”? So what you’re saying is that the null brains on Twitter are far too focused on whenever one of the Kardassians farts to focus on anything real?
Puhh-lease. The Fediverse isn’t about that all.
Hard pass.
Convos - self hosted web based client written in Perl of all things, because it’s small, simple, does exactly what I want and no more, and avoids my having to faff with client + bouncer which was getting old 10 years ago and feels positively withering now.
Yes TheLounge is fantastic but I switched to Convos these days because it’s lighter weight and I somehow manage to overrun my disk much less often :)
Nice to see that KDE is so well supported! I’d been running Manjaro KDE the last time I had Linux installed on my desktop but I may give Debian a try this time around.
I’ll take “Product Categories That SHOULD NEVER EXIST” for $1000 Alex!
I’m not gonna speak for Canonical but snaps enable commercial vendors to more readily ship their apps on the Ubuntu platform.
Humans are inherently evil. There is but a thin veneer we call “civilization” that stops of from beating each other to death with whatever object can be brought to hand.
And what does any of this have to do with the price of tea in China? :)
I get it.
I don’t love Snaps either.
However, a thing I try to remember and wish others would as well is simply this: Canonical is a company. Their goal is to make money. They are not out to create the ultimate free as in freedom Linux distribution.
This does (to my mind) not make them evil, and ESPECIALLY doesn’t make the folks who work there evil. It makes them participants in the great horrible game that is Capitalism, and expecting anything else from them is going to lead to heartache, as you’ve seen.
If you want a Linux distro that shares your preferences and won’t try to jam snaps down your throat, you might consider giving Debian a whirl as many others have.
Continuing to ride the Ubuntu train and raging against the dying of the light when it continues chugging in the direction it’s been headed for YEARS seems … futile :)
Gamer culture in one :)
Good. The more they abuse their user base the more people will look for alternatives. Hello Lemmy! :)
The answer is these days I mostly don’t. No judgement though :)
What I initially wrote:I’m old and nervous, and while some small part of my brain reads this and says “Cool! Neat!” the larger part IMMEDIATELY leaps to other … things.
I feel like I need to say the quiet bit out loud here, and will do so in the hope that it will be taken for what it is - collegial discourse around a topic of shared interest.
I’m super concerned about this idea. There are so many ramifications that verge into the negative here that it makes my head spin.
How can we be sure that the training corpi used to create said Porn AI will be free of images drawn from sex trafficking and/or abuse victims? What about images from folks who gave freely when they were 18 and in high school but now are 28 and applying for jobs as school teachers?
Also, how will the AI “understand” things like informed consent? Even more questionable are things like social norms
Anyway, it will certainly be interesting to watch this space evolve.
I’m all for more options for sex work. And I certainly have no puritanical objections to consenting adults enjoying the idea of others enjoying their bodies!
It’s great!
The single biggest problem i see is the lack of network effect.
We need more people to use Lemmy and create and participate in communities. I know part of that is actually using and participating ourselves. so I will try to be better about seeking out active communities already here and patronizing them regularly :)
Points for honesty, but how does one find exploitation free porn? I know some smart women who would say there is no such thing.
So being a sexual creature like any other, I get it but also maybe it’s OK if that just lives on pornhub or whatever :)
They publish Runescape.
I never played it, I know it was ENORMOUSLY popular with a certain generation of folks :)
This one goes to 11 :) seriously though? Good on them. The good guys deserve their fair share of hype too!
Yeah, I feel like this is one of those memes that just travevls like lightning because it’s attractive to people.
IPv6 WAS crazy bad for a very long time, so I can kind of understand it at least, but wake up and smell the 128 bit addressing people, ipv6 is a SUPER useful tool when you need it :)
