This is probably the most idiotic interaction I’ve ever had in Lemmy. By far.

Go touch grass.

I have a Jellyfin server at home, yes.

What does that even have to do with being a sponsored project or not?

The baby is not feasting on a human corpse. I don’t see the problem here.

I keep seeing these comments where AI is hailed as the next industrial revolution, but I think they all miss the point.

Industrialization created jobs. There were fewer skilled jobs lost than new skilled jobs created. It then created the need for more knowledge based jobs, like civil engineers.

The AI lobby is doing the opposite. It targets higher paid skilled jobs. If they were to succeed, they would give birth to the opposite of the Industrial Revolution.

I used to think Reddit users were too negative. Then I joined Lemmy.

Jellyfin is sponsored.

I would say that the FOSS movement is proof that some form of payment may be required, otherwise most projects are at the mercy of subsidies from corporations.

Are we against journalism now too?

Be specific, what exactly can they do?

Because it’s dumb.

Proton then stated that they “stand with journalists” but “cannot see the content of accounts and therefore cannot always know when anti-abuse measures may inadvertently affect legitimate activism.”

Every legitimate email service has anti abuse policies in place. The alternative is letting the service be turned into a bot farming operation, or worse.

Still waiting for your recommended alternatives.

I think I have asked a very clear cut question. Will patiently wait for your answer.

What a childish take.

Proton cannot operate outside of the law. Swiss laws may be privacy friendly, but that does not imply that court orders can be ignored.

But if you think so, then please name a single entity that after not complying with a court order, was still allowed to continue operations or was not fined.

Nowhere in that paragraph says that they will ignore the law.

Any service out there that would not comply with these orders, is a service that could not legally operate in these countries.

What you describe is a very recent phenomenon. They all were Windows exclusive until around when Microsoft announced the Windows 10 EoL date. Up to that point, pretty much every single video touching Linux, and especially those with Linus as the protagonist, were quite negative, sometimes for no reason at all, e.g. when he complained about UI elements that weren’t aligned with the Windows UX.

And this isn’t new either. Linus has a bias, like everyone else, and that’s fine, but one cannot play personal preferences as the gold standard, see his long term opinion about the iPhone vs Android, or his early videos trying to use Linux. The latter especially are famous in the Linux community of creators, you can find several reaction videos commenting on the topic.

They know. They just don’t care.

2FA should probably be enforced for the process of publishing packages

The most successful recent attacks haven’t relied on stolen user credentials, so this point is kind of moot. API tokens are way easier to obtain and use. Typo squatting and phishing are more effective, and attackers generally don’t need to bypass 2FA.

Linux distros usually rip out build scripts and build systems in order to replace them with their own, but this also further limits the code you have to audit.

Linux users who routinely download and compile src packages is a minuscule attack vector. Most users download binaries, so this point isn’t true either.

And look, I agree that MFA should be mandatory everywhere, and sandboxing is great, but the truth is that the JS ecosystem is chock full of lazy and sloppy devs. That’s just how it has been for the longest time, and no amount of security measures targeting them specifically is going to fix the current state of affairs, because as soon as one is implemented, someone will find it too cumbersome and will find a way to override it. The whole ecosystem needs adult supervision.

But honestly, I believe that JS in the backend has been a massive mistake and we all should abandon it as soon as possible. There are plenty of better languages and ecosystems out there, no need to keep self inflicting this kind of pain.

I see that we are making things up now, aren’t we.

Besides, what does “focus on fractions over decimal calculations” even mean? Fractions and decimals are inextricably linked. Even more, there are calculations that can be expressed more precisely as fractions than with decimals, and there are those that can be expressed as decimals but not as fractions.

So? Calculators have been better at math than students for the longest time, do we delete basic math from the curriculum too?

RISC-V is more like 1-3 years away from CPUs existing that have competitive performance in datacenter workloads. Not decades

I’ve been hearing this for the past five years.

People seem to forget that if one arch moves forward, so do every single competitor out there.
