Sure, but they also need to be on a platform that people actually use. I agree that there are lots of reasons against Discord, but my point is, they didn’t choose Discord because of a lack of intelligence.

It’s not a matter of intelligence, these people just have different priorities.
The political ideas you can find on Reddit are much more diverse. There is usually at least some pushback against some of the most deranged statements.
If the live version is already broken, there isn’t much to lose deploying the fix as soon as possible. Not sure what else they could have done here.
Of course, but I still find it remarkable that the task that was picked as an example for something extremely difficult is now trivially easy just a few years later
The example given in the comic has moved from one category to the other. Determining whether an image contains a bird is a fairly simple “two hour” task now.
Plot twist: The woman in the comic is Fei-Fei Li, she got the research team and five years and succeeded 🤯
I agree with your point on biodiversity and yes, climate change poses an existential threat to individual people, but not to civilization as a whole.
No, I’m certain that human civilization would survive.
I don’t think this kind of catastrophizing helps. Climate change certainly doesn’t “threaten the fundamental existence of organized human society”. Sure, we should do more about it and future generations would be better off if we were to lessen the impact, but it is not an existential threat.
It doesn’t make sense for Lemmy (or Mastodon) to send your IP to other instances. Without that IP, all they have is your username. They can’t really track you based on just the username.
What a wild conspiracy theory.
Legally, they can’t collect and process any of the data unless you accepted a contract with them. Just by sending an upvote or a comment to their instance, you don’t agree to any of this.
And if they choose to ignore the law and just do it anyway, they still can’t, because all they have is the data that your instance sends them. They don’t have your geo-location, device Id, etc.
Interesting. It seems that Lemmy can see Mastodon users and send private messages to them. And I believe Mastodon users can create Lemmy posts, so potentially Threads users could do that too once Meta enables two-way communication.
I’m in favor of federation. The point of federated networks isn’t that there are no evil corporations, but rather that they can’t cause damage.
What Facebook can do:
What they can’t do:
I think this is mostly relevant for Mastodon servers due to the format of the content, but the arguments are the same.
You can simply not follow people on Threads and you will have no Threads content in your feed
I’ve definitely had both. Sometimes the hosts of the actual podcast read an ad using their own voices. In this case everyone gets the same audio file and crowdsourcing the timestamps would work.
For dynamically inserted ads, it will be more complicated. Maybe a system like content id that has a library of known ads and detects them in the audio.
I wonder if something like sponsor block is feasible for podcasts 🤔
I’m not an electron hater, but a terminal in electron sounds like a parody.
I don’t know how this is good for gamers, it would be the end of perpetual licenses. Every company would move to subscription services immediately.
Not sure what this means. Most satelites make everyone a little bit richer (weather, GPS, communication satelites).
I would argue that companies SpaceX have a lot to lose from space debris. If space becomes inaccessible, they can’t do any business. They do a lot to mitigate space debris (especially with Starlink), and this is rational because too much space debris threatens their mission.
