@ArneBab @kami_kadse ah, I thought performance was severely reduced if it isn't kept live constantly. Thanks!

@ArneBab @kami_kadse think I'm also going to set it up. But iirc it only really makes sense if you run a local server, right?

@ArneBab ah, that's interesting and good to hear. Didn't the creator end up as a Trumpist?

@ArneBab Sounds a lot like freenet, are there major differences?

@SkipHuffman @mekkaokereke That's part of the secret sauce! If half your workforce is named "John", another John cannot hurt. And that's the kind of invaluable functionality that's promising to convince droves of CEOs they have hit pure gold.

@cockerspaniel90 #alttext4u There have been more Republican senators arrested for sexual misconduct in bathrooms than trans people.

@Natanox @jonossaseuraava @kaia @sirlan we bought a used (thankfully) HP Laserjet, ten or more years ago, and it still does it's job, but I'm incredibly afraid of accidentally updating the firmware and ending up with poo all over my face.

@ArneBab @LordCaramac @ucf @ErikML @Thea_gruen @cberberich das läßt sich weder be- noch widerlegen, solange es kein scharfes Kriterium dafür gibt, ob man es mit einer neuen oder noch der alten Zivilisation zu tun hat.

@forthy42 auf welcher Rechtsgrundlage wurde eigentlich Russia Today verboten?

@fogti @NeonPurpleStar true, they're rubbish of course, the way they are. But the idea is sound.

@NeonPurpleStar we have had everything apps for a long time and everybody loves them. They're called web browsers.

@Erdrandbewohner Ich nehme an, in Berlin will man davon noch nie gehört haben.

@inthehands @SecureOwl @marcan magnificent burn and counter burn, bravo, bravo!

I am re-reading Dune. This quote by the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam is remarkable:

“Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

It's not about a Terminator-style AI-apocalypse where the machines want to kill us all dead. It's just an accurate prediction of what actually appears to be happening.

@ariadne @argv_minus_one @andreasdotorg @jubilee if I take what @falcon wrote to mean: "by all means, choose a memory safe language, but don't expect it to solve all your problems and then cook tea for you" then I'd agree. Memory safe languages are nice and exciting, but the boring stuff still needs to be done.

@inthehands maybe it's simply about ridding oneself of the awful decision making. Throwing dice in a way that allows one to convince oneself one's not just rolling dice.

You can recognise an AI overlord by their elegant leg swap.

@mitchw @pluralistic If you call it AI you won't have to explain why remote work from India is OK while people at home urgently need to return to their offices. It's very clever.

Kebaphaus, aber als biblischer Name.

@davidaugust that's not even capitalism, that's just the basics of trade.
