The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Bluesky is having a moment... on ThreadsEnglish
1·2 years agoWith as much bad faith antisocial sociopathic shit Mark Zuckerberg has done, I truly don’t understand why anyone would use anything associated with meta. He’s Elon Musk with more experience at being… that.
Bluesky isn’t going to be the savior of social media, but with the death of Cohost it’s the least bad option available.
OK wtf is with the posts about “western game dev”, as if that has anything at all to do with disk space?

Technology@lemmy.world•Docker Raises Prices Up to 80 Percent | ServeTheHomeEnglish
1·2 years agoFolks, the docker runtime is open source, and not even the only one of its kind. They won’t charge for that. If they tried to make it closed source, everyone would just laugh and switch to one of several completely free alternatives. They charge for hosting images, build time on their build servers, and various “premium” developer tools you don’t need. In fact, you need none of this, you can do all of it yourself on whatever hardware you deem to be good enough. There are also many other hosted alternatives out there.
Docker thinks they have a monopoly, for some reason. If you use the technology, you are probably already aware that they don’t.

Technology@lemmy.world•Study Finds Consumers Are Actively Turned Off by Products That Use AIEnglish
0·2 years agoThey don’t care. At the moment AI is cheap for them (because some other investor is paying for it). As long as they believe AI reduces their operating costs*, and as long as they’re convinced every other company will follow suit, it doesn’t matter if consumers like it less. Modern history is a long string of companies making things worse and selling them to us anyway because there’s no alternatives. Because every competitor is doing it, too, except the ones that are prohibitively expensive.
[*] Lol, it doesn’t do that either

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Immich relies on a third-party service that seems shady to meEnglish
1·2 years ago- Seems like a very reasonable objection to me. I’d guess that most of us Immich users are using it in the first place because it improves the privacy of our photos, and a third party seeing our location data certainly undermines that.
- I would have complained had I noticed, so you might be the first one to notice. Immich’s userbase isn’t huge right now, it’s definitely possible.
- Featurewise, I’d like: a) a clearly documented way to disable map data leaving my server; b) a set of well-integrated choices (maybe even just two, as long as one of them is something like openstreetmap); c) the current configurability to be well documented.
- I’d love it if all such outbound data streams are also documented. Many security and privacy-focused products give you a “quiet” mode of some kind, where you can turn off everything that sends your data somewhere else. It’s a requirement in many enterprise installations.
Thank you for using POV correctly

News@lemmy.world•John Oliver offers to pay Clarence Thomas $1m a year if he resigns from supreme court
1·3 years agoYes, but Trump isn’t the only problem we’re facing. And a lot of the other problems have a path through the supreme court. Let’s do both.

Technology@lemmy.world•New images reveal what Neptune and Uranus really look likeEnglish
0·3 years agoEven though the artificially-saturated color was known at the time among planetary scientists—and the images were released with captions explaining it—that distinction had become lost over time
Ah, well, releasing images where they’re both light gray circles will certainly help dispel this myth. If there’s one thing the public really latches onto, it’s when factual science makes things more boring.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there an alternative to saying "so-called" which doesn't suggest potential falsehood?
1·3 years agoThe problem here, linguistically, is that any phrase which means this will take on the meaning of falsehood automatically, over time. It’s the same way that any respectable word that means “has a disability” eventually comes to be an insult and then a slur.
If you want to say something like that, the word “putative” is still pretty unfettered by negative connotations, but only because few people use it. If it were in common use, it would follow the same path as “so-called”. A more reliable approach in the long-term is to say what you mean using more words instead of fewer:
She could trust him more than any of her friends; although she wasn’t sure those people were really her friends, it remained to be seen.
It’s actually the length and awkwardness of the sentence structure that makes it resistant to misinterpretation.

Sure, he hates black people, Mexicans, Ukrainians, basically Europe, every single person in a blue state, women, the justice system, Jews, TAYLOR SWIFT, trans people, Haitian immigrants, sure he also hates pets and children, but at least he’s okay with Puerto R–
