  • AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools

    Jump

  • 13.5%, slipping to about 12%

    I know that 1.5% could mean hundreds of businesses, but this still seems like such a nothing burger.

  • What is the current state of Matrix?

    Jump

  • Technically, nothing.

    In practice, who do you know that's using it and doesn't run Arch, by the way?

    My point isn't that IRC/XMPP aren't technically capable.

    It's that they're not designed for non-technical users.

    I want corporate social media to die. Mastodon and Piefed are far from killing the beast, but they've made the more progress than most projects have seen in a long time.

    I want corporate messaging to die. Matrix is far from killing the beast, but for a little while, at least it was trying.

  • What is the current state of Matrix?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't mind going back to IRC roots if it could be made more user friendly and integrate voice and video chat.

    Good UX/UI goes a long way to make it so non-technical people can join and strengthen the network.

  • Plex Announcement: Important Notice of Security Incident

    Jump

  • I just need Plex to survive until I can replace it with Jellyfin.

  • Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms

    Jump

  • Seems untenable.

    If I live in Europe and run a mastodon instance open to anyone, it's not like I or my server fall under a Mississippi law.

    What are they going to do, sue my Serbian ass? Serve a restraining order to my Norwegian server?

  • What is the current state of Matrix?

    Jump

  • Damn. That sucks. (Edit: Referring to the comments saying Matrix is dead and dying.)

    I get that IRC and XMPP are more stable and built around federation from the ground up, but... they're not Discord replacements.

    That was IMHO, the point of Matrix/Element.

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but a significant part of a network's resilience is the number of nodes and users.

    Without a glowup or some kind of repackaging, IRC/XMPP are doomed to stay niche.

  • SEPTEMBER SOLARPUNK BOOKCLUB (online)

    Jump

  • "Reluctance to reach out to old friends is a common experience, but reconnecting can pay off" - Do you have a story about reconnecting with an old friend?

  • I smell survivorship bias.

    I have a 20% hit rate on this (literally 1 out of 5). It was okay; we caught up, chatted for a couple of weeks and then realized there wasn't much left to go on.

    If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't.

  • It's exactly what you think.

  • In response to misinformed criticism of solarpunk

    Jump

  • This is why, at the end of the day, even amidst my anger and frustration… I do have empathy for people who don’t understand solarpunk. Because they are falling prey to the actual critique I have of the genre. That we simply need more of it. That there’s not enough out there that really delves into the nuts and seeds. At least not enough to overpower the AI slop and greenwashing and capitalization of these concepts.

    It feels like solarpunk is suffering from the same problem that communism and socialism have for decades: the people who are trying to build a real movement under that name are getting drowned out out tourists and haters, to the point that the strawman version is more recognisable than the "real" version.

    When I first learned about the movement, I was excited and started building my own project under the banner. As I explored more, I was disappointed by how much AI slop and pie-in-the-sky roleplay there was.

    I'm still building my project, but I may not publish it as a solarpunk work because I don't want it to be tainted by association with the strawman.

  • Raccoin: Coin Pusher Roguelike | Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • I remember seeing these in malls, and I didn't think they were a game back then, either.

    I mean, maybe this one actually is a game somehow, but... what a thing to take your inspiration from.

  • Genocide by remote control: Israel's explosive robots devastate Gaza

    Jump

  • Israeli leadership is treating Gaza like a war crime buffet at this point.

    "I mean, if genocide's on the menu, why not sprinkle in a little murder-children-by-starvation and robot warfare? It's my cheat day year and a half, after all."

    Where is the fediverse in this analysis?

    Edit: The article references Bluesky fleeing Mississippi due to risk of fines. Do admins running fediverse instances run similar risks?

    Bluesky was the first platform to make the announcement. In a public blogpost, Bluesky condemned H.B. 1126’s broad scope, barriers to innovation, and privacy implications, explaining that the law forces platforms to “make every Mississippi Bluesky user hand over sensitive personal information and undergo age checks to access the site—or risk massive fines.” As Bluesky noted, “This dynamic entrenches existing big tech platforms while stifling the innovation and competition that benefits users.” Instead, Bluesky made the decision to cut off Mississippians entirely until the courts consider whether to overturn the law.

  • [META] Could people here just FOLLOW THE RULES?

    Jump

  • People ask those questions here because it's not obvious where else they should ask those questions.

    In my opinion, Lemmy doesn't have enough traffic to be hostile to lost Redditors Lemmings.

    We can always redirect people to appropriate communities (assuming they exist and are active), and once we hit a certain critical mass the problem will go away on its own.

    Jump

  • There's already the Russian internet and the Chinese internet.

    All the "save the children" acts that seem to be going around will probably just accelerate it.
