Linux community arrogance is to deny the device driver issues and think Apple is fine, when the reason Apple thrives is because they don’t have open hardware like Linux, BSD, Windows…

Hardware companies are rarely held account for their absent support of Linux - some campaigns have come and gone, but in the end Linux users tend to arrogantly say it’s trivial to switch and embrace dishonesty. I guess they figure Microsoft is dishonest, so they normalize it.

Agreed. It is urgent that we teach Neil Postman’s “media ecology”. The junk noise garbage shit Internet sucks, and enough is enough!

If I tried to make reasonable points about anything, or god forbid, shared my experiences - I was downvoted into oblivion

Introducing quotes from authors that were related to the subject would really show how people were locked in the context of media immediacy, the environment. Links to outside citations would almost always generate replies from people who obviously did not study the citation and just wanted to respond back.

It used to be something people said ‘out loud’ about people not reading links and just commenting… then it just became normalized.

Interesting observation…

yes, reading code to people, basic interpretation. It’s a pattern that I think comes post Cambridge Analytica media tactics.

yes, interpretation of various things, not just reading normal prose.

It’s the spam filtering, and they consider people spamming any link… and each subreddit can set the spam fitler higher or not. This was going on long before Lemmy and I’ve seen it even with BBC links.

Edit 4: The Shadow-Ban doesn’t seem to work on r/help but definitely on r/hfy.

I’ve seen this come up with a large number of links on Reddit that were even to BBC website. It comes down to the subreddit settings on spam filtering…

I think the whole process of automatic hiding of spam filtering for user accounts is a bad-faith experience. People on Reddit are infamous for not actually reading links and wanting bots to bring in text and such, and I think a lot of the anti-spam measures cultivated this for a very long time.

One thing that crowdsoucing never was very good at was spam filtering… because too many would sell out and buy upvotes/likes on Twitter/Reddit etc.

lemmy.ml is back up!

lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are both down right now

The comic’s suit questions if AI models can function without training themselves on protected works.

I doubt a human can compose chat responses without having trained at school on previous language. Copyright favors the rich and powerful, established like Silverman.

I expect it is federation outbound activity growing in memory usage, it’s all held in RAM for every post/comment/like going out to subscribed servers. [email protected] is a community for the focus on scaling Lemmy.

I just signed up with lemmy.world because lemmy.ml is down.

lemmy.ml has been a slow-motion train wreck all June with errors and failing to send out federation copies. This asklemmy community is homed there, and a lot in the past 24 hours is missing.
