They focus on America, as such have a broadly Western bias. Are they less biased than others? Probably. But you cannot report the news without some form of bias. The act of looking at an event and deciding what facts to include and what to leave out introduces some level of bias. As it is impossible to include every detail of an event, especially in text form, you’ll end up with a biased retelling

Hell yeah. Sounds like you were definitely in the right, it’s your civic duty to do jury duty when you can

And the clone gets a great excuse to get out of things. “That wasn’t me, that was my clone”

They just sell it to the highest bidder. Who doesn’t like a little extra warmth?

The beauty of the fediverse is we can tag him here, even tho he only has a mastodon account. Hey @[email protected], what are your thoughts on lemmy?

I would view ChatGPT as just an extension of stack overflow and Google. At the end of the day you still have to plug it into your broader code base and that’s what makes a good programmer. That and debugging the issues you get after

People in America love to complain about TikTok is harvesting all sorts of data. My response is yeah that’s awful, let’s stop all the data harvesting, and they’re like no just TikTok, the CCP is the ultimate evil

I love ground news. But they just give you information on the bias of their sources, they aren’t unbiased themselves. You get a better picture but you are still getting it from biased sources

Hexbear has one. It’s not federated now, but plans to be by next week. Might be one elsewhere too, just the one I know of

Damn shame. Sony and M$ just buying studios is not actually giving anyone a better experience just locking more people out of more games

Was this posted from mastodon? Your post looks weird

Damn those are some fucked up stories. No wonder so many people have all sorts of weird ideas about sex in their head

Yeah they had ~175 employees in January, and this layoff was like 37 people. A shame, but not large scale

I also think lemmy now has more momentum. More users and content will follow, even if not in as massive groups. This new usage will help improve lemmy and next time Reddit fucks up, lemmy could be even better situated to handle the refugees and less will return. I joined lemmy when I left Twitter and was exploring the fediverse. But it wasn’t too active til now

Damn. I guess we’re not far off from clients being able to post to both fairly easily. Cool to see

I don’t hate the idea. I feel like namedtuple works well enough. Maybe better effort could be making namedtuple behave more like a struct? Or some new type like frozennamedtuple?

Peertube I think helps offload that by having every video be a torrent so each additional viewer increases the max bandwidth. But still not free to start

Tough choice. I feel like if you’re a creator who uses YouTube as your sole source of income, a few bucks a month, even like $100 could be worth while. Tragically would lock out people just starting, but maybe they can get some kind of free trial? On the consumer side tho I imagine people would be much less likely to pay, but maybe some people could be convinced if it was real cheap.

I feel like it could be nice to follow mastodon users from lemmy and have their toots mixed in with other posts

I would’ve gone with a less powerful nas and got a separate unit for compute. I got a synology nas with a decent amount of compute so I could run all my stuff on the nas, and the proprietary locked down OS drives me a bit nuts. Causes all sorts of issues. If I had a separate compute box I could just be running some flavor of Linux, probably Ubuntu and have things behave much more nicely
