If you’d like to support archival in general, consider donating to https://archive.org/ . They regularly archive books and media that can be potentially banned. It doesn’t hurt to download parts of the archive on your machine if you want to be extra sure, but keep in mind the internet archive is massive with petabytes of data.

Yup, mistyped that

I’m not a US citizen but I agree with this. Biden was a weak leader and everyone was praying he gets off the stage every time he talked in the 2024 elections. He stepped down too late, Kamala had very little time to set up a campaign, and everything she said made it sound like she’s Biden 2.0, including supporting wars that alienated people voting for her. When your entire campaign is based on “at least we’re not the other side!” and nothing else, there is no enthusiasm to support you.

They need to do better next time :P

Thank you! There are definitely a lot of politics communities on Lemmy, so I’m a huge fan of not having them leak into casual communities like this.

462k are the people that have created an account, Lemmy actually has ~40k active users (and even then “active” just means they logged in once this month). I do share the sentiment that not everything has to be super popular but Lemmy really could use more people.

It will stay an echo chamber until mods step up and start removing low-effort posts. Also, people are downvoting me in favor of a fake account with one post lmao. That’s how bad it is.

When sockpuppet accounts are posting to unrelated communities, no shit I’ll complain. “Rich people are bad” is not a showerthought and you know it, but I guess let’s just spam the platform with this nonsense and keep making new accounts to boost these posts. What’s wrong with that?

So I guess showerthoughts is going to be the new platform .ml users will use to complain about capitalism? OP is a brand new account and this was their first and only post.

Yes, I will keep calling this out.

Seriously. I don’t doubt a lot of effort is going into it but I’ve been hearing “gimp 3 soon” for like 3 years now

Not unpopular. Lemmy politics is a garbage dump, the entire platform was created as a safe haven for commies and we’re still reeling from it, with many users (especially from .ml) sharing biased news and “memes” that are nothing but propaganda and DAE AMERICA BAD???

Having political takes isn’t necessarily a bad thing but when your entire personality is “capitalism is bad” then you’re an insufferable twat ruining the platform for everybody else

Cyberpunk is a good example of gorgeous raytracing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pkuU0cGQu8

The problem is that proper raytracing is way too heavy for most machines, so game devs don’t bother. The Cyberpunk example on max graphics would need an RTX 4090 just to run it over 60fps. No point in pushing tech that nobody can run yet.

Raytracing on older games looks great because they already weren’t intensive to run, so developers can get away with maximizing raytracing while still running fine.

The Llama 3.1 models are probably the best all-rounders, with the Llama 3.1 8B version being the most popular.

Personally I never reached a point where I had to use any kind of storage software. All you need is a good external storage and a little bit of organization.

If anyone is serious about data storage I would honestly choose external SSDs or an enclosure that supports SSDs. I’ve had terrible experiences with hard drives failing over the years or clicking and corrupting my data.

We’re approaching a cool cyberpunk future but can’t even get wet streets with reflective purple neon signs 😔

I don’t know if there’s a source specifically for this but when I often get stuck and start repeating myself I look up Merriam Webster’s thesaurus and start replacing boring words with better ones.

So rather than say something like awesome I’d say a word like marvelous, lovely, etc.

This reminds me, I should really go watch The Northman. I watched and enjoyed The Witch & The Lighthouse but haven’t gotten around to the third one.

While you were out there whacking your straight stick, I spent years studying the blade…

That’s called an intranet (which is like the internet but for a building or small area).

The internet isn’t really anything more than computers connected to other computers. If you want to make your own internet you can connect two computers whether wired or wireless, and voila. You can host a website locally that only those two computers can access.

How does this compare to Revolt?

Outside of benchmarks it’s really not as big of a deal as openAI wants you to think it is. In most cases it’s slightly better than Claude, except it uses 50x the tokens repeating info to itself and is way slower. There are a lot of people that tried o1 online and are posting screenshots of it making basic mistakes or gaslighting itself in its chain of thought. Not to mention you only get 30 messages PER WEEK since it’s such a waste of energy.

It’s a desperate attempt by openAI to stay relevant now that competitors and even free models are catching up.
