  • Sort of feel the same, and it’s just so out of reach to own your own private jet. The most thematic aspect of this crash was how fast it happened and how it was able to be recorded from multiple angles. The rest, well, it’s just like seeing a video of a car crash, am I supposed to care more because they are rich? Their death was at least better than most people who die in accidents get, it was at least instantaneous - there are worse ways to die.

    News is literally combing over every aspect of their life - what the last conversation with traffic control was, what SMS were sent just before they crashed from who to whom, who the entire entourage is … I don’t care anymore than any other random accident, and I don’t see why I should, yet it’s hard to avoid the feed. I see people empathizing with the deceased who would just dismiss or mock some other’s without the glitz death they could dismiss as a caricature if some other context was slapped onto it.

    May the dead be able to be mourned by their loved ones in peace, away from those who would turn it into a spectacle.


  • So, he basically signs a bunch of new laws protecting private data, but because he did not sign one particular proposition, evil incarnate? People realize that this “vetoed” law is not one that existed, but a proposition for a law … right? You should still have control of how your data is shared.

    It’s not ideal, but seriously, man it’s so easy to make people on Lemmy shoot themselves on the foot. People here will jump at anything to demonize if you even think of voting against Trump here even though he clearly is literally open corruption and the complete corrosion of the rule of law. Anything that diverts from the complete ideal is an excuse for the most corrupt administration to continue in power.



  • I’m still waiting, reddit, why are you still accessible publicly? Second thoughts, spez? Seems this is taking longer than other announcements, like when they locked old.reddit behind a login. I saw the login prompt pop up on desktop once, and never again after that.

    Reddit has repeatedly proved that they do not care about their users, regardless of what they say. No one who has left is eager to get back, they are only trying to catch new users which other social networks are much more effective at.

    It also allows us to protect access to Reddit’s extremely valuable corpus of data

    That’s the real problem, people have to stop giving Reddit their data to monetize before they inevitable kick them to the curve and remove any control they had over their own data.














  • Seems a bit like anti Local LLM propaganda to begin getting the ball rolling on subscription based LLMs being the only LLMs people have access to.

    They’ve been doing everything to try to keep the technology from the general public, from helping to condemn any use of it (even that not owned by corporates and dedicated to allowing open access to it, which many people willfully play along to) to passing it off as a threat that needs to be under control (not by governments, just their own PR stunts with certain mouthpieces). This with the price of computers skyrocketing is helping keep away any possibility of this technology being owned by anyone but the major circlejerking multinational pricefixing corporations.

    Or maybe it’s just a study.
