I’m running an instance and as a software it’s OK. But you never know if your subscription tab has nothing new because there is a bug in the ActivityPub code or just because nobody is posting on peertube.

Another thing is that most of my video watching I do on the TV but there is no app for android on the TV which give you a UI like the many apps streaming providers offer. So at least for me it’s limited to very seldom watching something on the laptop when I remember.

Discover ability is another problem, similar to Mastodon it’s difficult to find new people to watch. That is solved much better on Lemmy with the communities.

The difference is the intent and the background behind it.

Sure for maximum mass adoption the computer can out-research any human and just find the blandest set of rules which cater to the highest percentage of the majority.

What it still will have a hard time doing, and I predict it will be for quite some time - probably until we have quantum computers - is to come up with a new way of doing poetry which is not just copying what humans did but better.

I think of AI like it’s China, they are super efficient in copeing things and gradually making them better and cheaper but the setup of their society makes it impossible to really innovate.

And yeah I’m saying that it’s the setup, because in Taiwan they are able to innovate at a much higher rate.

Uhm it looks very odd, like you somehow have miniature wrists.

Nice, when they introduced the AppStore I was convinced that this would happen within a few years and as a developer I moved off Apple products and towards more open hardware and software. I was confused why - while they did it from the start on iOS - they kept allowing side-loading on their computers. In the end they just tried to cook the frog slowly so it wouldn’t jump out of the saucepan.

And all it took was getting rid of us.

If that wasn’t on purpose than that was a big fuckup. I was sometimes thinking about testing Bitwarden but with this volatile license situation I’m not interested anymore.

It is an ad-jumper!

And SmartTube on the TV.

Those are the only two ways? What about:

Why do you need the glasses, can’t you take the picture with your phone?

It seems that while copying the title I copied a tab \t at the beginning of the title and that seemed to have confused some clients.

So this is why I switched to the fediverse. But to be honest, I have no idea if someone does things like that here or not. All my posts are public to everyone and machine readable. The only thing which would prevent someone of survailing users on the fediverse is it’s very small scale. It is probably just not worth the effort.

Hey at least they have a choice, either it will be demolished before or after they relocate.

Oh my god how I hated those headphones with cable. I destroyed at least 3 phones because of them. I would have them in and walk and would want to do something on the phone and suddenly I’d get caught on the cable while moving and the cable would jerk the phone out of my hand and it would land on the asphalt and the screen would break. And fixing the screen is so expensive, it’s better to buy a new phone, or just live with a broken screen where you cut your fingers on.

Since I switched to Bluetooth headphones this literary never happened again. And every single one of the problems described here has a fairly good solution, at least with the Samsung ones I have:

• I need to charge them perhaps once every two weeks, so I really don’t remember when they would have been without charge at a inconvenient time.

• I can find them by several means:

  • They’re connected to the find my device samsung network, so even if they are not close they will be picked up by other Samsung devices. I forgot them at a hotel 500km away, searched for them and found them
  • I can play a sound
  • The Bluetooth can show me to which direction to go and how far away they are

• They never lost Bluetooth connection, I can even connect them to two devices at the same time

The only point would be the cost, they do cost a lot more. But compared to buying a new phone constantly because the cable hangs somewhere and jerks the phone out of your hand, even this is undeniably cheaper.

My guess ist that even if it would be better when it comes to generic text, most of the texts which really mean something have a lot of context around them which a model will know nothing about and thus will not know what is important to the people working with this topic and what is not.

Capitalism is awesome!

Our company does not allow you to use your private computer for anything work related because of security. If you want to work from home they buy you a laptop to use. Which really makes sense from a security point of view.

Wait, this is why she chose me?

Oh, and I use Arch btw.
