James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fediverse@lemmy.world•The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool.English10·3 days agoI like where your head’s at, but Mastodon’s system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn’t rely on a third party.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•ChatGPT goes down — and fake jobs grind to a halt worldwideEnglish22·3 days agoAlso this is not a news article, it’s an opinion essay. It’s perfectly reasonable to read this at any time.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitlesEnglish20·3 days agoFor YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it’s important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don’t feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.
That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fediverse memes@feddit.uk•There's still no Threadiverse RemindMe bot :(English52·3 days agoBecause unlike Mastodon there is no one main “discussion forum” fedi app, we have Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed. The term has nothing to do with Meta Threads!
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Announcements@lemmy.ml•Lemmy Development Update June 2025English5·4 days agotwas a joke, but that’s a nice feature!
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Announcements@lemmy.ml•Lemmy Development Update June 2025English4·4 days agoStoring upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.
Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times? I want to join it.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Fchan, the federated imageboard, is apparently still aliveEnglish33·4 days agoLemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day…
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Apple: ‘Reasoning’ AIs fail hard if they actually have to thinkEnglish10·4 days agoThe term “reasoning model” is as gaslighting a marketing term as “hallucination”. When an LLM is “Reasoning” it is just running the model multiple times. As this report implies, using more tokens appears to increase the probability of producing a factually accurate response, but the AI is not “reasoning”, and the “steps” of it “thinking” are just bullshit approximations.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish3·4 days agoThis is literally literally a drama article
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish21·4 days agoIt’s annoying to be treated that way isn’t it?
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish45·4 days agoPlease don’t sealion me.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish18·5 days agoThat’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish643·3 days agoAnyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”
EDIT: New rule?
I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.
Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@programming.dev•Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?English1·7 days agoNot positive but IIRC with Fedora you can change updates to weekly/monthly etc.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•What is the canonical version of STVI?English6·7 days agoStar Trek VI is the best one, IMO. It has:
- Historical allegories
- Political intrigue
- Mystery
- Anti-racist themes
- Spaceship battles
- Awkward Chekhov
James R Kirk@startrek.websitetodatahoarder@lemmy.ml•[Question] Quietest 16-18TB hard drive for NASEnglish3·7 days agoYeah haha, as the other guy said, this drive definitely seems on the louder side of average, but the thing I wanted to illustrate is the pattern of the sound which I think is distracting at any volume.
Very nice (and sad)
