Oh sorry. In case you didn’t pick up on it, I was making a reference. Not supposed to be taken too seriously! (Though it was technically accurate.)
Anyway, in reality in the modern world, there’s usually no difference. The general term for both print and spoken, and the term used in most English-language legal systems today, is defamation.
The market for AI is never going to be sustainable based on the average home user. It’s about businesses. And when the big AI companies are forced to raise prices to keep investors happy, they’re going to start looking into hosting their own. I don’t know how much we pay, but the company I work for has a couple dozen software engineers with Claude, and a bunch more employees who also get AI they use in their work. If AI prices suddenly quadrupled, I bet the CEO and CTO would be looking very seriously at buying a server to run models locally. And if that happens across the whole economy, it’s going to hurt the big companies hard.
Even worse if they’re getting hit from two angles. If governments and local communities keep making it hard for them to build datacentres, their rising costs are going to make them have an even harder time without raising prices even further, driving more smaller companies into self-hosting. If the pushback on datacentres is strong enough, they may not be able to keep up the practices causing hardware prices to be so high, making it more affordable to self-host, too.
Meanwhile, Nvidea is chuffed either way. They don’t care if OpenAI or CRUDs r Us buys their chips. They get paid either way.
if they called the authorities by telling them that person had stolen something, it would be Libel
It would not. I resent that. Libel is written. In speech, it’s slander.
A false accusation of theft is literally Libel
Not if it’s only to you. Defamation happens when an accusation is published such that it could damage your reputation.
It’s also been 14 years. “About the same ram…but half the CPU” for over half the price (original comment was wrong, it was $35, not $15) is not a flex. It’s a stunning failure.
Remember, this is the same guy who, last year, posted an explicitly pro-Republican Tweet on the official Proton account, and then backtracked and tried to say they were apolitical. In his excuses, he used the extremely right-wing coded phrase “triggered” in a way that perfectly matched the way right-wingers use the term, and when called out for that he claimed he was “unaware that triggered is offensive” because “I don’t live in the US so I really don’t have ready a list of words people are not allowed to use”. Some very right-winger-complains-about-cancel-culture–coded language right there, and an excuse that falls apart the moment you realise that it would require being in tune with right-wing language enough to have used “triggered” accurately in the first place, that his complaints simply don’t work.
Yeah alright. So are electricity and the Internet, if you want to get really technical.
Doesn’t mean it’s true in a meaningful sense.
Here’s a link to the Reddit thread, for no particular reason.

You seriously thought the guy got a sentence involving house arrest for 12 hours every day? Come off it. Don’t lie.
Unlikely. He did have to plead guilty and he got a penalty that’s much worse than you’d think from simply reading “avoids jail”. Lighter than it should be, and lighter than it would be if a car wasn’t involved for sure, but still not as light as the headline is likely to leave the average person thinking.
Yeah, to me it kinda seems inevitable that the AI bubble will pop. Because AI companies are having such a hard time making a profit selling their AI. The tech that they developed will still exist, and self-hosted models will definitely still exist. But the glut of AI datacentres and the price gouging on RAM and GPUs that they cause, cannot possibly last indefinitely.
I think you can tell most search engines to remove results from one particular source? So it should end up the same for you? If you can’t do it natively, there are definitely extensions that’ll do that.
If I click on a search result that goes to discord will it take me to somewhere I can see it?
I assume not, which is why I still think this is worse than using normal forums. You’ll probably get a link to join the relevant server, and will probably require a Discord account to do it.
Which is very annoying and unfortunate, but is a huge step up from all that content being entirely undiscoverable.
It’s possible that someone could write a bot that displays a mirror more exactly. Not sure how easy it’ll be to both do that and not get taken down, though.
into that curved cross
Oh right, you mean the intersection shown in the article? Yeah nah, that’s a complete non-issue. First, remember that the American “right on red” rule is widely regarded by the rest of the world, quite rightly, as utterly fucking insane. When there’s a red light, you simply cannot go.
So that weird crossing shown, turning from the right-hand side of one road to the left-hand side of the other, is totally fine. You just design the light phasing so that there is no phase in which people can cross over each other.
There are certain risks with it. In my advocacy I always try to push for uni-directional paths on each side of the road because of that. But honestly the safety concerns are minimal when compared to no bike path at all, or just an on-road bike lane.
The biggest danger is people coming out of driveways or side streets failing to look both ways. It’s extra useful, therefore, to use wombat crossings across side streets, and to put small, sharp speed bumps beside the path on driveways. Here’s an example near me:
(Just ignore the stencilled white pedestrian indicator on the bicycle-path green-painted path. That’s a whole separate problem of poor inconsistent design…Especially since there’s an unpainted concrete footpath right next to it.)
But even if you don’t do that, it’s pretty damn good. It takes away all fear for 90% of the length, and just requires attentiveness from the cyclist when they approach intersections. Less than perfect, but still quite good.
It’s something that happens when cities insist on prioritising reducing how much it annoys car drivers over producing the best possible active transport infrastructure. They build these bidirectional bike paths down one side of the street instead of having a bike path on each side. And that inevitably means that sometimes you’re going to get this.
Wow this is actually great. Still doesn’t excuse groups using Discord instead of traditional forums, because traditional forums are still browsable without an account. But the lack of indexing has been such a huge flaw with public groups using Discord. Addressing that issue goes a long way to making Discord a less shit platform for open source apps, games, etc. to run their support from.
A domain? No. You’ll have to pay for your domain as long as you want to keep it. They’re not very expensive though. A basic .com will usually run you about 10–15 dollars per year.
Are you talking about Nextcloud core, or specifically the Nextcloud Photos app?
Only time I used NYT was for the Mini. When they put it behind a paywall I just stopped playing. I now do the Crossherd and Ponder Club mini crosswords instead. (Shout out to !dailygames@lemmy.zip)
