Lemme share the tea for anyone who isn’t aware:

• Owl house is a show by Dana Terrace that ran on Disney
• It slowly developed into big pro-LGBTQ themes
• Disney panicked, cancelled the show, claimed it was unpopular despite excellent ratings
• Dana Terrace left with a bunch of others to form an independent studio
• Their first show (Knights of Guinevere) features a floating amusement park that rains garbage all over the workers below, and robots that have orbs on their heads that produce a silhouette strikingly similar to that of Mickey Mouse

Feels more like a home manager thing to me

I see what you’re saying, but the fact that it can be ambiguous is actually what makes it so useful to fascist organizers.

They thrive on phrases that allow them to wink at each other when they want to, but claim innocence if someone calls them out.

It’s the problem, but also the strength. That fragmentation allows room to experiment.

It also puts pressure on the underlying protocols/specs to be air-tight. If you have just one implementation to support, you can do whatever. If you have to support 15, all with different goals and constraints, you gotta be pretty damn careful.

So in the end, we get foundational systems that are able to evolve over time instead of needing a breaking-change, ground-up rewrite every 2 years.

This is basically what the Luddites were fighting against:

A world where labor has no opportunity to develop skills or use them, no authority over the machinery which dictates the nature of what is made and how, chasing fewer and fewer jobs for less and less pay.

Their solution was to take sledgehammers to the factories. The owners, of course, hired thugs to shoot them. And the politicians ruled that the machines were sort of the property of the crown, and therefore destruction of these machines should be punishable by public execution.

Funny enough, data centers today are considered strategic assets under the protection of DHS. Which is a fancy way of saying: still owned by the crown, still gonna shoot you if you try to negotiate via sledgehammer.

Its supposedly open source??

NPM users: “…and?”

Linux god’s

Linux god’s what?

Needs an integrated battery and USB-C alt mode for display so you can use a keyboard + AR glasses and nothing else

I assume this means they’re trying to clear out the LCD stock and be OLED-only soon?

I’d settle for just requiring interoperability. Seems like a reasonable requirement for a government to demand the ability to change vendors.

We have that requirement when it comes to munitions. You’re not allowed to sell the military a gun for which you are the only ammo manufacturer.

A side effect would probably be that more commercial software would be interoperable as a result, just because it’s easier for the vendors to maintain a single product rather than wildly different variants.

It’s the passw daemon

Basically: signal-to-noise ratio

I loved my Eee PC so much.

I’ve been watching and hoping for a modern ARM equivalent, but haven’t seen anything quite right so far.

Okay, question to people on Lemmy: What’s the right community for asking questions about Lemmy?

“Is this trying time?” kinda works though

And drains our freshwater reserves in order to do it.

The dumbest timeline.

Licensing is the least of my objections to the gen AI plague.

Indeed. I want AI companies to get regulated into smithereens, but not through expansion of copyright law. There would be too much collateral damage, and it wouldn’t even work.

Absolutely. There’s not a good guy on either side here.

If AI vendors win, it’s basically this:
