Technology@lemmy.world•Peter Thiel: The pope is ‘working for the Chinese Communists’ by criticizing AIEnglish
10·6 days agoBecause the pope’s message could influence some Americans, but is unlikely to be heeded by people in China, Thiel argued, the encyclical threatened to slow down only one side of the “race between the US and China” to advance AI.
His argument simply doesn’t make sense. After all, communism is about the abolition of religion. The Chinese Communist Party strictly regulates religions in China. Of course, the Chinese are not influenced by the Pope because most of them are not Christian.
I mean, what the hell is he talking about?

23·6 days agoIt is a federation of multiple instances with one goal in mind: to liberate human interaction from gamification and algorithm manipulation that makes you addicted to the platform, allowing them to brainwash you with targeted ads.
As for Lemmy/Piefed, the goal is to liberate and free human speech without profiting from it or being manipulated by algorithms and features like Reddit’s karma system.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Immich v3.0.0 is out, with Workflows previewEnglish

No, it’s not beneficial. The difference between consoles and PCs is that PCs have an open infrastructure, which lets you back up your data to any medium or service you want.
For example, if Steam goes out of business and doesn’t release the DRMs, they will easily be cracked. You cannot say the same for consoles.

So, owning a Steam Machine will be beneficial in the long run because of the frequent sales and realistic gaming prices. Got it!
How’s the trackpad on Linux? I tried Gnome distros and KDE distros and the trackpad didn’t feel natural… It seemed off.
Lemmy is still alpha software, thrust into the limelight by the fall of Reddit. It is still in its infancy. Reddit has had over 18 years to get it right. So it will take some time.




What about to a PO Box if they’re available where you live?
