"This persistent narrative in the media trying to talk consumers out of desktops as being viable options kind of sneakily ties into the greater “you will own nothing and you will be happy” narrative being pushed by big tech.

It’s really obvious and it needs to be consistently called out for what it is."

Literally the most upvoted comment in the linked article.

I guess some frogs are just to stupid to figure out they’re being slow boiled and it’s up to us to carry the dead weight out of the pan…

The manufacturing of consent to move your machine to the cloud has begun. We had a good run lads.

Noice, the US already subsidises spaceX just like uber with subsidised rides, time to further subsidise spaceX.

A brief look at fundamentals sbows reusable rockets make no financial sense. This guy’s continuous scam of the entirety of humanity is solid proof the overwhelming majority of us are fucking idiots.

Likely part of the “don’t invade Greenland” deal. The pedophile in chief has the EU and UK by the balls.

Hear me out. A single person, normal human being, posts maybe a couple of times a week. Add a 0,1 local denomination currency per post to lemmy/piefed, whatever. Advertise the platform as bot proof. Profit.

On the subject of treating compute like magic, as the author does:

People who grew up in the iPad generation cannot fathom understanding the intrinsics of anything beyond direct input - > output. For those privileged few, a pez is indistinguishable from a tiktok video, they only go as far as understanding that action - > dopamine. It’s a wild généralisation, but after 10y educating the “elite” is one I cannot refute with the data points I have.

@MudMan@fedia.io feelsbadman. To be fair, AMD HW works pretty well out of the box, (sometimes better than on windows, FSR4 on RDNA3 ahem…) however NVIDIA has always been quite anti-linux. They only changed the tune because linux supoort is critical for AI inference and even then, they hate openness. Jensen, the fascist, Huang knows full well that letting users into the nux environment is the first step into loathing NVIDIA.

Good luck with the troubleshooting

Well deserved catastrophe. You’re paid to work, writing grants, emails and classes is your fucking job.

Now, it’s obvious for anyone that the academic picture in Northern Europe is one of cronyism and nepotism, so it’s rarely the actually competent and hard working scientists that end up progressing in their career. Playing politics (and sucking the right dicks) takes time away from the bench. What I’m wondering is how can someone be a professor and tech illiterate to the point of making this big of a fuck up. Also, why wasn’t he sacked? Oh, right, he has connections in npg so it’s good for the University’s impact factor and citation rating.

For anyone wondering, politico is center left for US standards but for European standards it’s a neonazi shitrag, so, massive grains of salt.

I’ll leave you with some highlights from Matt K. who is a boss uniform short of being more on the nose about what he is…

Considering Trump warned the butcher in Rihad that he’s bombing Iran soon, I’m highly skeptical of all of these news. Maybe they find some weapons of mass destruction being used against protesters…

If you’re not using a mass spec to actually measure things you’re not a pro, just a very expensive opinionated cunt.

FTFY

They are all equal. There is no ethical way one can be a billionaire. It’s the societal equivalent to cancer. Sycophants that defend billionaires are not better than metastasis.

These billionaires spend quite a lot of money on PR firms whose existence is predicated on KPIs. Lemmy is usually left leaning so it’s a boon for them because the overwhelming amount of people here are left leaning. Just keep an eye out, these sycophants should be on the guillotine right after the Bill Gates of this world.

Boiling frog enshitification, here we go… I JUST want the password management and security, that’s it!

FYI: In this thread there’s an account named finite banjo that is likely part of a PR firm managing Gates’ public image. Don’t fall for it, ignore and carry on. Gates betrayed his best friend for money, he has never had a conscience and should be on the fast lane to the guillotines when they come!

No billionaire is the best, they should all disappear. Gates, through his tenure at the foundation, delayed anti-malaria research for a decade because he sponsored his cronies instead of distributing broadly. Furthermore, his foundation accomplished good in spite of him, not through him.

"Nvidia, fuck you! "

Finland has learned nothing!!! They let Elop murder nokia for a swift US acquisition and now Re Hotard is going to do the same thing. We should resume using firing squads to deal with traitors, in this case, Nokia’s board of directors.
