It doesn’t get more top-shelf than that.

I can guarantee you that no app on or for your phone can do a fraction of what GIMP is capable of.

Why would the gentry harm expensive cars? Those would be their own cars.

It just isn’t possible, and we should want to dumb down the introduction too much. The Fediverse is not a centralised medium, and to participate in it, its users should understand that, analogous to how you would instruct people before using motor vehicles. Some things are just essential and need to be taught. Not teaching the stuff doesn’t make it disappear. If some people cannot get behind the idea, then either find novel, intuitive ways of conveying it, or just accept that they cannot be a part of the Fediverse.

Many families in Germany face a precarious future, and your dismissal of the concerns of young people will definitely not make them more reasonable when it comes to the election. There are enormous financial challenges for a lot of Germans, and unlike in the U.S., White people are just as much affected as all the others.

No. Education will always remain the way out of poverty. And regardless, no “AI” can replace actual programmers at present. Their code and code quality are entirely unreliable and not suitable for serious, production use. They may be sufficient for hobbyist applications, but for software that is actually getting deployed, LLM outputs vary too widely, and you will always need experienced programmers to monitor them and correct errors. Also, an AI can not come up with a coherent design principle for you, the individual modules and moving parts it spits out will invariably fail to work together at scale. Creating software is much more than just churning out code. It requires advanced reasoning and specific knowledge, and AI is not there yet, and who knows if it ever will. All companies that are firing (or not hiring) programmers over current day LLMs are going to fail.

Matrix is not proprietary. The protocol is FOSS, Synapse server is FOSS, Dendrite server is FOSS, there are FOSS clients, Element is FOSS too afaik.

Well, you’ve got to climate-proof it. At least try to. Hydroponics, which, if done right, is both more space efficient, less susceptible to disease and environmental hindrances, and requires much less water. Solar power generation loves the sun and the cells will not really care how hot it is (in realistic environments), they will only get more efficient. Go subterranean to a degree, and have your architecture style be inspired by things like Earthships.

Freshwater can be gotten from wells, rain traps or dehumidifiers. If you want animals, you will have to hold them in buildings similar to your own dwelling.

Keep in mind that this advice is for if you expect it to get hot in your area. However, parts of Europe will tend to get colder due to climate change, at least at certain times of the year.

Thanks, uninstalled

Please don’t call for the destruction of property of total strangers, that’s very disrespectful.

He didn’t even try (in the beginning). Money and early treatment would absolutely have saved his life.

the Apple mastermind eventually came to regret the decision he had made years earlier to reject potentially life-saving surgery in favor of alternative treatments like acupuncture, dietary supplements and juices

Are you certain that Element does not run in the background? It always does for me, both on my Samsung with OneUI and on another Samsung with LineageOS. Perhaps not really helpful, but my observation is that Element’s background “listening for notifications” is quite reliable. Might this be due to some settings in your OS?

Look, principally I agree with your comments under this post, but this one was more miss than hit. The “genocide on the other side of the planet” is no less meaningful than your domestic ones.

You did this to yourselves. Maybe this will finally teach you that your inaction has consequences.

That VPN provider will then know ALL the connections you make. Almost worse than just using the Internet normally.

Wrong. You just need to know what you’re doing and must not be impatient. Just spend 5 damn minutes reading before you do the thing. We don’t always need unnecessary abstractions upon abstractions upon abstractions.

That’s definitely not what they said, and I don’t see how you could read it that way except if you wanted to find something to complain about. There are much more meaningful battles to be fought than calling strangers on the internet bad parents.

Yes. You still need similar ones if you want to run the models really fast, but not nearly the same amount or cost. That’s how people run LLMs on their laptops. You don’t even need a GPU, a multi-core CPU is sufficient, just not very fast at it.
