There needs to be due process. We can’t ban a website because 10k people said it has disinformation. The DSA is the process for combatting disinformation on major platforms, and we should follow it. Twitter is already being sued under the DSA, and they will be banned in the next few months if they do not fulfill their obligations to fight disinformation.

I’m looking at the future and what might be good replacement that offers a blend of power-efficiency, flexibility, and storage cost.

Any modern CPU will improve energy efficiency. AMD AM4 platform and Intel N100 are very cheap. AMD SP3 platform is also very cheap and has a ton of PCIe lanes and memory expandability for gpus, NVMe, and running lots of VMs.

For storage cost, used hdds are currently $8/TB, generic NVMe is currently $45, and used enterprise SSDs are $50/TB, decide which you want to invest in depending on your needs. Used enterprise drives will be the fastest and most durable for databases and RAID.

SSD prices are expected to decrease faster than HDD prices, and will probably overtake HDDs for value in ~5 years.

About dGPUs, Intel A310 is the best transcoding Gpu out there. Used Nvidia datacenter gpus probably have the best vram/$ and pytorch compatibility for AI

change.org isn’t going to do much, and the EU already has an ongoing lawsuit with Twitter regarding its disinformation promotion.

It could be argued that the EU prosecutors should speed things up, though.

please press tab 🥲

The halo community kinda hates the remastered graphics for halo CE lol

Isn’t Bluesky federated?

When have Comcast, Disney, or IBM ever have been on the wrong side of history? /s

lmao

In the past two years, I have had horrible issues where it decides that I’m not allowed to join the call because I have a Teams account logged into a different organization, that it won’t let me log out of. An issue where Microsoft servers just time out if you have ipv6 enabled, etc.

Don’t get me started on Skype for Business. It’s still around.

Much more likely to get run over in a crosswalk in the us than in Europe. American drivers don’t stop. The amount of overengineered zebra crossings in the US are crazy.

IT folk got so annoyed about being asked about what happens if you got run over by a bus, they decided to go out and show everyone.

I’ll chip in, and buy a beer for myself.

Yeah, I don’t mean that this election was rigged or anything, I just mean that the US presidential election isn’t really the combined will of every single American. Other countries have more democratic systems. Even the house races are more democratic.

Prophetic because it calls people stupid after an undemocratic election?

implying that an election to choose a single representative for 300 million people with a 2-horse race is particularly democratic

excuse me, that is Biden with sunglasses lmao

You can yell at the train driver, you can make a team to stop the train, you can start building a new track, you can become a train driver yourself.
