F*** Wayland
Japan has always lagged in software investment, and while you’d think open source would bridge that gap, the entire country is basically the poster child for the “not invented here” anti pattern. That allowed even the most rudimentary standards from western companies to run away with it.
The stock market is such a fucking sham.
If people really believed Nvidia was an indispensable part of the future yesterday, that hasn’t changed in the slightest regardless of how many honeypots Jensen was messing around with. We didn’t really need any MORE proof, but the fact the stock is falling is absolute evidence that nothing even close to reality or future potential drives stock valuations.
It’s a reflection of the business - Nvidia’s specialty is running multiple tasks in parallel.
Just don’t judge me late for dinner!
He’s appealing to the huge swathes of the public who have absolutely NO idea how to actually identify intelligence.
It’s actually difficult enough where the stupidest people can’t figure it out, and they use confidence, volume, wealth, and flowery language as a proxy.
Even when you do get people to accept that information is an important part, ANOTHER huge swath of people don’t understand the difference between information and intelligence.
In short, there’s a very small part of the population that can even IDENTIFY what an intelligent person looks like, so he gets away with this.
Why do you need so much RAM? Just use fewer programs
Even a broken clock…
Holy shit do people need to get educated on Occam’s Razor.
Let me check between my couch cushions…
So it creates a world where normal people no longer use tech, and the vast majority of tech is used by businesses for productivity purposes in the office while everyone else makes due with real life?
Like in the 90s?
Sounds like paradise to me. Starve out these cash-grab. psychologically manipulative disposable code subscription services.
If tech is going to be usurped entirely, then reject it. I’ve started doing everything I can by mail and physical presence. Don’t buy the hype that you NEED tech. If your friends won’t let you change how you get in touch with them, then they’re not that good of friends and you don’t really need them.
If all of my stacked 15 year old computers here stop being able to access Lemmy? Oh well. It’s been fun.
This is a war. They are winning because we are willing to have a point where we say, “Well, this is the limit… I have to capitulate now.” They rub their hands together gleefully waiting for you to cave.
Don’t. Be stubborn. Because if we don’t it’s already over. Legislators and underfunded foundations are not going to save us.
STOP BUYING TECH. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP. THE ONLY REASON PRICES KEEP GOING UP LIKE THIS IS BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN’T WILLING TO SACRIFICE COMFORT TO MAKE A POINT.
Buy used. Use hand me downs. Learn a new operating system to get new life out of stuff you already HAVE.
If people can’t give up access to shitty software to save tech, there’s no hope for the species. Period.
I think you are DRASTICALLY underestimating how durable fascist regimes are. Without external intervention they can continue for DECADES. Societies don’t just collapse when people get fed up.
This is your reminder that in 2026 absolutely ZERO court rulings matter long term except the Supreme Court, which is captured for life by conservatives.
No matter who wins the midterms or even the next election, that is with us for the rest of most of our lives.
What a time to be alive.
They have the exact same potential as the generations around them - they didn’t get blasted with mutagen. The environment that contributed to allowing people to maximize their potential has been scuppered, tainted, and monetized, and particularly for the young, their own mental proclivities, which by the way, they have no ability to understand or override on their recognizance at early ages, are being weaponized against them by an army cognitive behaviorists and a mountain of psychological research.
We absolutely do not use the same internet. The internet millennials grew up with in their developmental period no longer exists.
The idea that there’s no reason, and they’re less intelligent inherently with no causes is an entirely new kind of magical thinking.
Don’t worry, after MULTIPLE Azure meltdowns, Crowdstrike, DDoS attacks, DNS problems, certificate problems, and more, I’m sure THIS will be the one that gets people to deeply examine their relationship with technology.
