it has voice and video… though to be honest I’ve never used it.

What if bots have gotten so advanced they have simulated lives and backstory to help sell their reality.

In which case… could you even be sure you aren’t a bot?

damn… there goes my heist plans… was going to wait till AI robots took over the manufacturing lines, then walk in and start stealing product right off the line. I never anticipated all the robots would know kung fu.

Not a bad list, one thing I would say though, for self hosting, vaultwarden is a far more ideal server than bitwarden (same clients work, but faster and all features are unlocked).

BEVs need to park for a while to get a substantial charge, not even full one. The fast chargers get Teslas to 80% in something like thirty minutes

That’s why my point was “truck stop level gas station”. IE those huge gas stations off the highway, several in most cities… huge lots, and most importantly have at least one, sometimes a few restaurants inside. IE they are already designed as a good place for truckers to take a half hour to an hour to, re-organize themselves for a long trip. Not a totally unreasonable process for a road tripping family etc… to hit every 3-4 hours that an EV can drive.

I can’t fully disagree on the potential of renting a car if it’s extremely infrequent to make long trips. Public transit would be nice, though gotta say there’s a lot of places where that’s pretty non-viable. Least from where I live the nearest bus station from me is about 30-45 minutes away by car.

Exactly that’s where it should be doubled down… if their own estimates are correct… it’s only a 6 month expense. If they really believe they are about to open the key to basically eliminating the cost of millions of workers indefinately, wouldn’t throwing thousands of workers to accomplish it faster, lead to cost savings.

Say if I wanted a machine that could make eggs indefinately forever… but to make it I had to put 100 eggs into it. why would I put one egg in a day for 8 months, instead of buying 100 eggs today.

Or, worse, they might actually have to hire enough people to actually do the job. Why hire 100 people with good work life balance, when you can hire 60 people that aren’t allowed to have lives or families.

To answer your question: no, that is not my suggestion.

I mean so what is the suggestion? The post I was responding to made it sound like you were saying you shouldn’t use EV’s outside of short trips near home. Which begs the question what should someone who 99% of the time drives near home, but once a year needs to visit their family for christmas 2 states away.

To me I’m wondering how complex are the chargers… we already have gas stations all over the place. To me it wouldn’t seem super inplausible for say fast chargers that are, reasonably easy to add to say the typical truck stop level gas station. Of which, they’d start with just adding one or 2… as EV’s become more common add more. Would be slowly working towards future proofing the consumer gas side (To my knowledge EV Trucks aren’t in the near future, but every truck stop I’ve been to has also had a huge regular car side)

To which I have to say… good on them for using AI porn in the least bad way? (IE realistic fictional characters instead of real people that did not consent to the depictions being made of them).

Well, it really is hard to explain to someone

Trump is very trump.

I mean isn’t that at least some extent technically true to a level.

I mean if we weren’t talking a shitty corporation to begin with. If this were say, a 20 year old mcdonnalds worker pirating game of thrones.

IMO the bigger concept is still rather than if they got it… defining whether using that data after the fact is legal. I mean hypothetically speaking lets just say they bought 1 copy of each of the millions of books, or bought used copies, or say had a machine that could scan every book in a library. IMO the issue shouldn’t be whether or not anyone managed to download the books in their pure form afterwards. The focus should be the AI trained on their books, is going to be distributing portions of their book to millions of people, and any potential profits of such will be going to meta and uncredited to the original authors. The idea that meta’s involvement in torrenting may have let little timmy get a copy of his text book 15 seconds faster… shouldn’t be the driving force here.

So your suggestion is basically families should own an EV just for getting around home… and a gas guzzler for long distance travel? IMO the ideal should be a slow phase out of the gas cars.

Or you know… instead of needing super heavy batteries… they could have smaller batteries… if charging stations become common enough that people can relatively easily find places to stop and charge on long trips.

Just get rid of the charging stations. It’s ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work

why the hell is that ridiculous? People do go places other than home and work. People take road trips and vacations. Electric cars are a good thing, just because one particular brand is owned by a narcisist ruining the country.

In short… no, Lemmy developers believe the karma mechanics on reddit incentivize bad behavior. (IE making bots or even just yourself re-creating past succesful posts) or just posting the obvious ideas that one assumes everyone is going to upvote etc…

I mean in short they are attempting the same gist… just, you know mainly in the form of all of them vying to be the all in one. After google’s disasterus google plus… facebook implimenting threads and video hosting, they all are hoping to be a one stop shop.

Hate to say it, but I cannot find an alternate front end to it. There might be one, but documentation on it is pretty scarce, every tutorial I’ve ever seen has just told how to let nextcloud use it.

Again though I’m seeing it, at least working well, would be like a patreon, I wouldn’t think of it as a reddit “power user”, I’d imagine that more as courting people that already have some form of business. Say authors, artists, video game developers, youtube video creators etc… that would be posting stuff either early or exclusively there.

So sounds to me like… reddit’s looking to compete with say patreon etc… IE allow people to post content either early to payers, or release some things exclusively to payers.

Obviously the value of that will depend on how big of a cut reddit goes after, and assuming they don’t try and move existing participant focused subreddits to it.

Well it’s the concept of not being fediverse. Point is one great developer running everything is awesome. However he’s tying it into bluesky… which also while it seems great on the surface right now, is still basically positioned that if it sells out it could be just as corrupted as Dorseys previous project

I would say lemmy is in one of the better positions of the fediverse, as far as being useful.

IE IMO the facebook/instagram equivelents you need an insane critical mass to get anywhere, because simply put, in a crowd of 100k in the globe, you probably don’t have your friends/family… IE the people you use those apps to see.

Mastadon… a little bit better as you are looking for general stuff, but still the main drive of twixxer is reading on celebs, noteworthy figures etc…

Lemmy… well sure in 100k people you’ll absolutely find some with interesting discussion on politics, gaming, plenty of memes and cat pictures etc… Obviously without a real huge constant growth we won’t be the ideal place to discuss super niche topics (least ones that aren’t only discussed by a handful of geeks). So barring either super narrowly focused migrations, or major exedus’s lemmy will probably lag behind reddit when it comes to say discussing specific games/movies, but will continue to have great content in the overall gaming/movie/meme topics.
