Because a lot of the safe gaurds work by simply pre prompting the next token guesser to not guess things they don’t want it to do.

Its in plain english using the “logic” of conversations, so the same vulnerabilities largely apply to those methods.

Don’t forget the single digit millions that pretended that the mentally incompetent rapist fascist was the same as a generic corporatist neoliberal and encouraged people to stay home.

I mean their post history seems to match, as does their presence here and comment.

I just think some people only believe in ideas insofar as they are in the groups that benefit from said policies.

I gotta be real with you. This comment very much sounds like the delusional super stonk member who think eventually the big system they believe is colluding to fuck them trips up on a technicality and makes them uber rich.

Basically, you’re just imagining a reality that wont exist for so many reasons.

The biggest reason is that the AI GPUs do not use DIMMs largely, and even server dimms (ecc rdimms) won’t fit in your PC.

More than that, by the time anything does happen, technology will have moved on.

If you’re about to say “but I don’t have to”, Id ask you why you arent on a 10 year old computer right now.

The fact people are blaming the tech rather than the tech bros is a big part of why this keeps happening.

Its the decision of real people that make this situation suck.

Unfortunately they have an exclusive publishing deal with the guys who made it takes two and split fiction.

The buyout has effectively already gone through, and as the price has been decided, any money you give to them is directly going to saudi arabia, as they will get that new value.

Its always been a shitty meme aimed at being cruel to new users.

Somehow though people continue to spread the lie that the linux community is nice and welcoming.

Really its a community of professionals, professional elitists, or people who are otherwise so fringe that they demand their os be fringe as well.

Why is this type of privileged exclusionary 1 dimension opinion even upvoted?

There are multiple problems that matter at any given time.

Saying that racism is a distraction ignores the very real people who are being harmed right now because they aren’t you, and thus you don’t care about them. “I got mine” but about other issues.

Some take for a socialist to have really…

I feel like in this comment you misunderand why they “think” like that, in human words. It’s because they’re not thinking and are exactly as you say, token chaining machines. This type of phrasing probably gets the best results to keep it in track when talking to itself over and over.

No, they thought plenty.

Their hate for whichever marginalized groups they felt deserved to be hurt outweighed their thoughts of self preservation.

Its the common thread that links all maga members together.

They think someone needs to be punished, and hearing that a candidate will is all they need to know. They don’t care if on the long list of people to punish exists them or someone they know.

You absolutely bring up good points yes, but at the same time, I don’t think its a check, so much as a mild mitigation. Even on the lemmy verse there are still mega subs that take on the most activity and gain similar types of “too big to fail” critical user bases.

The core problem, is that when a group gains disproportionate control over what users can see, they can push their views/twist arms, and that ultimately isn’t solved here.

I agree. Lemmy has a ton of awful moderators that abuse their power just to support “their” viewpoint.

Indeed. Famously the elephant in the room of the ml instance where they’re gone so far off the deep end on a lot of topics that they end up in essence supporting extremist conservative views/human rights abuses and worse. This is either with direct support with the weird straight up dictatorship praises many sing, being so toxic and hard to talk to that they push people away (who I hope know they certainly aren’t the average left leaning person) or the awful thing many do where they feel any incremental positive change is bad, and the only good change is a magic overnight revolution and shift to 100% exactly their view of how society should work, that they’ll also never spell out.

Lemmy is better though because it at least has the potential for people to have better moderation

In some ways yes, in some ways the opposite (as mentioned with the lack of tools).

Regarding the modlog, maybe I am missing something, but when things are deleted here, its actually a little bit worse than reddit sometimes in that you won’t be able to immediately see the content that was deleted of yours, and then for mod logs, I believe (As I am not 100% sure) that comment removals disappear when the user who made the comment is banned as well, so its kinda false transparency.

Its entirely dependant on your location, prices relative to said location, and your comfort replacing said components.

There isn’t an answer thats true enough for a wide enough range of laptops, and while I could try to do this all for you, that would be asking a lot from a random stranger on the internet.

I should mention for ram though, if the ram is soldered, then I personally feel that if you think there is even a hint youll ever use even 75% of the ram you’ll be getting with the machine, its probably better to get more ram, because not having enough ram can be a huge killer of longevity in a way that not many other components can.

If the ram is not soldered, much less pressure, and then you’d do that whole price comparison thing alone instead

and the power of short simple repetition until lies become truth.

This is also true with long diatribes that are packed with bullshit but that drain your time to debunk.

This is the type that I feel is common on lemmy.

If you dive into them, eventually youll find the ideas all fall apart, the sources are weird, biased and funded by groups you wouldn’t take seriously etc etc, but at that point, you are exhausted, and you are probably not going to put in nearly as much effort into arguing as their prepared copypasta “literature” collections, nor as nice.

I would think this was a tactic to make a casual observer think “well that second person isn’t as reasonable as the first one who posted a lot of information” if they didn’t check the info themselves, but these posts are often so 0-100 hostile in attitude out of the gate, I can only think they serve to simply tire people out, and run obstruction.

Its worse in pockets (and I mean pockets large enough relatively speaking that you wouldn’t need to be part of specific groups to be there) because there are a lot of culty ingroups who almost seem focused on trying to be as hard to speak to as possible.

Like they are trying to convince you by bashing you with a hammer, spewing pages of rhetoric at you in a bad faith attempt to make their arguments appear to have merit.

Its especially true regarding the types of “”“leftists”“” who are so “”“left”“” that they actively are against any incremental changes that bring about positive change, and are only for fictional masturbatory ideas of instant revolution.

I know that sounds specific to politics, but believe me, it isn’t on lemmy. It creeps everywhere and you’ll see pockets of these people.

I half want to feel like this is astroturfing backed by billionaires to make taxing them more seem less palatable to passerby’s.

This is being pedantic about the point being made and taking it unreasonably literal.

The meaning is that the effect of politics reach everywhere in life, and shying away from making the connections does a net harm to you and the world.

Not as an alternative, but as a supplement. Both experiences have massive problems, some shared, some not.

Lets be clear though, reddit is only worse than lemmy because it is centralized by one group of douchebags.

Lemmy has plenty of shitty moderation too, and arguably is worse at dealing with it within any given instance due to the lack of proper mod tools, the way posts that are deleted remove entire comment sections from being accessible, the lack of any appeals system and I’m sure a few other things I don’t remember off the top of my head.

Its a people problem, and its a style of organization problem with this style of forum.

What part about mentioning 3 specific projects as examples of where Europe is not doing enough makes you think that I am not aware of their efforts?

I am specifically saying those efforts are not enough nor are they soon enough.
