  • I like my PC being my PC. The more it does things I don’t ask of it or tell it to do, the more I will seek alternatives.

    One of the most frustrating parts of MS products these days is that you’re just along for the ride. And unlike Apple which is just the same, MS has far less intuitive behaviour or method. I would say their products are for beginners or those not tech literate, but the failure rate and amount of complex troubleshooting required for MS products and environments are easily the most challenging and frequent. It does not help that Windows Update constantly introduces new issues to the OS and other software while undoing any previous workarounds.

    That company doesn’t get to touch my stuff anymore. It’s like trusting your car to a four year old.


  • Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.

    Uuuuh… This place is a breeding ground of heavily biased propaganda. Just look at your feed, it’s all news articles reinforcing a side of things. It’s got its fair share of users that don’t look at things from a broad perspective and most get mad when they perceive their opinion is being challenged, even when it’s not. That’s why it’s riddled with posts that aren’t for interest; they’re rooted in agenda that is to either push narrative or reinforce ego.

    And if your filter lists aren’t full of users, communities, and instances, it’s very plausible your mind my be one that’s easily duped, because the shits got to be one of the most obvious places on the internet to spot it. Part of the Lemmy experience is maintaining and customising the feed.

    Toaster is good. We’ve used that for years and it’s memed hard. Its origin is toward AI and physical robots. Even though it’s a slur based on the first model Cylon having a toaster face, it implies robots are simple and they generate ridiculous amounts of heat to do a simple task.

    We don’t need to reinvent the wheel here just because someone had a viral video on TikTok. Clanker sounds so dumb too. Especially for protocol bots that have no moving parts beyond data centre fans and pumps.

    It will burst. AI is improving at the same rate it always has and no one’s surprised, just LLMs have gotten attention from normal users who seem to think “this is AI”.

    For actual AI, nothing has changed. You still need extremely well governed data and lots and lots of controlled training, lots and lots of condition farming and resolving, all at considerable cost not worth it for BAU, just AI-soecific projects.

    It’s already bursting, as people realise what is AGI and what is non-logic LLMs and why the latter has limited use, especially with awful mass “training”.

    The most realistic outcome is that LLMs are able to assist in increasing the pace of AGI.





  • What Deere did was even more harsh. They tried to block off not only self repair, but third-party firmware that made the tractors work better, especially older ones that were out of warranty.

    That’s straight up a major federal crime in my country. So that should give Americans an idea how balanced their scale of justice is at the moment.

    The consumer and supplier ALWAYS get equal and fair protection, lest a business becomes based on ripping people off with product instead of the product itself.
