What if we just vote on individual words, and then show them all in order of popularity?

I do like Björk but I’m not sure how much weight to give her opinions about international politics.

What’s a media zombie? Someone who watches 7 hours of tiktok every day?

It’s obviously the right idea, Cory’s been saying it to anyone who will listen for months if not years, but it would depend on governments doing something. How can it possibly happen then, if there aren’t powerful corporate interests hiring lobbyists to say it in a way that politicians can hear?

Rising costs for “cloud” infrastructure were beginning to tip the balance back towards favouring owning your own web servers I think — AWS is stupidly expensive now. But once the bubble bursts I guess all the new excess datacentre capacity that’s already being rapidly built will put a stop to that. Governments adding to that problem seems unnecessary.

We’ve lost the whole cloud

There’s your problem, Europe. You’re looking in the wrong place. The Internet isn’t in the clouds, it’s down here on earth.

Are you sure it’s not “Muzzle America for Global Autocrats”?

That was a lot of reading to learn that the two things were:

• He had some kind of problem with the laptop Wi-Fi driver on his new install of Ubuntu, and — pressed for time, away from home — decided that the best way to fix it was to reinstall Windows.

• He’s unwilling to give up games whose devs have chosen to make them impossible to play on Linux. It’s not clear which one he’s hooked on, but Apex Legends, to Fortnite and Valorant are mentioned.

My Wi-Fi was a bit flaky the other day. Damn those Russia spies!

All it will do is make Microsoft even more desperate to push all their remaining customers into using cloud services and paying monthly subscription fees for everything, because even the customers they care about (not you, maybe the corporation you work for) won’t be buying new PCs for a while.

I’m still not quite understanding what their age has to do with whatever the problem is. The routine makes them fat and lazy after enough years of their job being to “breathe and wear a hat”? Maybe that wouldn’t apply to reservists? Or maybe they don’t run things that way in Finland?

To form this opinion, I assume that you have worked closely with quite a few high-ranking military officers over the age of 60. Were they really that bad?

Lucky for us that scientists have since discovered so many new sources of news to keep us busy.

Only an AI can detect how expensive-looking your clothes are and raise the price based on that.

In this area, where there is so much evidence of conspiracy, I tend towards conspiracy theory: The incompetent and the ignorant whose names we know are being guided and manipulated by lobbyists and psychopaths with secret motivations who know exactly what they’re doing.

What else could it be?

It could simply be the same basic authoritarian instinct shared by governments everywhere. We don’t like this thing that’s happening, therefore we pass a law saying it can’t happen. Technical details of why that won’t work are not important, and are probably invented by obstinate malcontents. Just do it.

For whatever reason, I don’t see the downvotes from here. But I guess half the bots on lemmy are run by Elon and his fans. Or maybe there are lots of people who just downvote everything with “Musk” in the headline.

What’s the minimum recommend amount, like 500 megabits?

The AI bubble is so ridiculously huge at this point that I think we’re all living inside the AI bubble.

Sorry ma’am we have a warrant to suck your blood.
