Neural networks were in invented in the 40s. I don’t know what your point is, and I’m mostly convinced that you don’t have any, just as the article author and 99% of people shitposting their wishful thinking about AI.
The final products will likely be built by or integrated into downstream companies' services.
The Overture Maps Foundation's main aim seems to be to release comprehensive geodata with a consistent structure (schema).
"""Overture is dedicated to the development of reliable, easy-to-use, and interoperable open map data that will power current and next-generation map products."""
The data and accompanying schema are primarily oriented toward the developer community and can be found on the Overture Maps Foundation website's downloads and documentation sections.
This sounds like such a cop out. I've lived in low socioeconomic areas my whole life, went to school in them, played sports in them, been in communities in them. How many of these people have I met? 5? 10?
The majority of people can, and should try and embrace good habits. Some structure, sleep, sunshine, exercise, community, etc.
To some extent, yeah, we have 'free will'. I can chose my diet. I can chose to exercise. I can't chose my immune system or whether or not my temperament is predisposed to depression or asociality. Even if you try to fight against it, sometimes you're simply going to be swimming upstream your entire life. That's admirable, but tiring.
At some point, you need to stop blaming (or giving power to) others for your situation, and take control for your own wellbeing. Who you marry is well within your control, and not the 0.1%. Take some responsibility, it's a good first step to improving your, and your community's situation.
>Everything stems from this.
No, not it doesn't. If you think that wealth distribution is the cause of all of today's problems, you need to do more exploration.
This is the 2nd time this word has been used to describe the Linux desktop in this thread, and it's disingenuous. FOSS doesn't do any of the things described with enshitification article: it doesn't sit between buyers and sellers and screw each of them in turn. That's not what's been happening. Maybe the software goes shit, but it is not "enshitification". At every turn there's been alternatives (GNOME3 -> Unity/Xfce, KDE4 -> Trinity, Pulseaudio -> Pulsewire, systemd -> upstart, Debian -> Devuian, etc)
Stop misusing the word, you're discrediting the good work of FOSS.
I am not misusing the word. I don't know what their incentives are, but they are just progressively making things worse and more locked down in the name of "progress".
Bland, corporate, utterly inoffensive and lifeless "design"? Check.
Trying to remove theming from users? Check.
etc....
The only reason why they haven't succeeded like other OSes is because it's FOSS. But they really want to take away the user's choice, shift the Overton window, and pretend like things were always bad.
I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two-sided market," where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.
>shift the Overton window
You're all over the place. This has nothing to do with enshitification.
It is enshittification because they are making the software worse in opposition to the users. They don't care that the users hate the changes, they still do it anyway, deliberately.
Have you considered that many users do like the changes, and you just aren't one of them?
I first used desktop Linux in 1996 and liked it well enough. I remember using GNOME 2 and Xfce around 2010ish and liking both of them well enough, too. And they're still around if I want to use them.
But honestly? I don't use them because I like modern GNOME better. I use it every day, everything just works, and I like it more than the alternatives.
> But honestly? I don't use them because I like modern GNOME better. I use it every day, everything just works, and I like it more than the alternatives
Same here, but with KDE - and I'm a former XFCE user, and before that I was a Gnome user...
Yes, I have, but fundamentally, using old stuff is usually quite hard. If I could revert to it, it would be great, but those are usually not too compatible with today's technology.
I use those despite their horrible UI, not because of their horrible UI.
I respect that, and I hope my question didn't seem like criticism.
I suppose we're fortunate that options like Xfce and MATE are around, but I can relate re: compatibility. Truthfully I'd be just as happy with MATE as with GNOME 3.x, but last time I tried I ran into issues with high DPI and mixed DPI and didn't want to invest time trying to get it all working to my satisfaction.
Thank you very much, and you are amazing! Personally, I am just happy KDE exists and they actually listen to users. There is not much out there in terms of desktop environments like this, sadly:)
I disagree, use the word more to complain about GNOME and what they did to their UI. Even my 512GHz Windows XP Laptop runs more smoothly, and that without SSD.
Absolutely wrong, stop trying to rewrite history. Look at what happened in Melbourne, Australia. 1 hour of state mandated "outside" time per day, restrictions on gatherings, 5KM restrictions, 9PM curfews, park and gym closures, restrictions on shopping, public transport shutdown to stop protests, get the jab or lose your job. All that to "help" us, and we're living with the consequences to this day. Groceries 50%+ in the last 3 years. House prices are off the charts. Inflation that the government will blame on Russia, COVID supply shocks, aliens, but never their actions. The policies you backed well and truly fucked us. Own up to it.
Australia had 22,000 deaths for these minor inconvenience imposed on them. Australians got to go shopping? There were rumors about people in China starving in their quarantined homes.
>Groceries 50%+ in the last 3 years. House prices are off the charts. Inflation that the government will blame on Russia, COVID supply shocks, aliens, but never their actions.
The cost of goods and housing and inflation have all gone up outside of Australia too. My US state did little Covid prevention besides allowing us to order alcoholic drinks to go; why are groceries and housing up in my little US city, not to mention the US Dollar inflation? Is it Australia's fault?
>you have no idea which to pick and then you don’t bother and leave the site. No casual user is ever going to leave Reddit for Lemmy.
This is a feature in my opinion. Mass adoption has ruined so many sites (including reddit). It's taboo, but gatekeeping communities is absolutely required to stop mass adoption and the downward spiral. Reddit was better in 2010 than in 2020.
Went through a long list of them. I was confused on which to pick, and if that decision mattered, and what would be the security implications of it.
I finally picked one reluctantly. The server was down.
Not a great feature. Feels more like a bug.
> Mass adoption has ruined so many sites (including reddit).
Nonsense. Mass adoption means it's the place to go to consume and produce content.
If the feature of Lemmy you single out as being better is that no one uses it then I'm not sure what would be the point of joining, or why are you promoting the service so that others join.
> Reddit was better in 2010 than in 2020.
No it wasn't. At best, it was different.
And people like me are leaving 2023 Reddit, not 2010 Reddit. What we want is an alternative to today's service, not nostalgia.
This is already a failure. There is no need to join unless you find a topic you want participate in. And you event don't have to, you can even use a mastodon (pleroma, friendica, e.t.c.) account if you already have it if you just want to leave a comment in a thread.
>No, this needs to have the plug pulled on it if we're to keep global warming to 2C.
Sure thing buddy. One of the ways the "little guy" can push back against big banks and big government needs to have its plug pulled because of some imaginary 2 degrees panic. What the hell happened to "Hacker" in "Hacker News", this place is a cesspool of the mainstream rhetoric. Note: I have $0 invested in crypto, but I don't deny its usefulness in "keeping the bastards honest".
All of those were invented pre-1980. To misquote Thiel, if you remove TVs/phones from a house, you would think we're living in the 1970s
