Contrary to the popular conception, electronic fabs are a dirty industry. When they were build in the US in the 70's and 80s they were in massive industrial parks surrounded by tree lines as they pollute the air and water. Ex MOS tech employees from Pennsylvania have commented at how disgusting the ground water around the fab was.

I think it's a really good visual demo of the problem with these neural network systems. Text doesn't give the same uncanny appearance that these images do, and there's a lot more data in a pic so the "corruption" and artifacting stands out way more.

Why is Windows the only major operating system to come with a warranty that it will work as advertised in its licence?

Windows license:
>Limited Warranty. Depending on how you obtained the Windows software, Microsoft, or the device manufacturer or installer, warrants that properly licensed software will perform substantially as described in any Microsoft materials that accompany the software. This limited warranty does not cover problems that you cause, that arise when you fail to follow instructions, or that are caused by events beyond the reasonable control of Microsoft, or the device manufacturer or installer. The limited warranty starts when the first user acquires the software, and lasts for one year if acquired from Microsoft, or for 90 days if acquired from a device manufacturer or installer. If you obtain updates or supplements directly from Microsoft during the 90-day term of the device manufacturer’s or installer’s limited warranty, Microsoft provides the limited warranty for those updates or supplements…
OSX license:
>TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APPLE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “APPLE” FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 7 AND 8) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
I also checked if Mac OS 9 had a warranty (in case Windows' was just left in from the 1990s) and found that although apple did offer a warranty for the install disks themselves, they had a very aggressive disclaimer for the software, even including "NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE OR AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY…" lol.

MIT license (Standing in for most GNU/Linux distros, which usually use MIT or GPL.):
>THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE APost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Microsoft is the sole developer and vendor of their proprietary software. Open-source and shareware developers usually disclaim warranty from anything they release, so they can prevent, with the minimum possible effort, some hypothetical company from doing something stupid with it, like using it in a safety critical system without proper expertise, and busting a lawyer on their asses for it.

I'm unsure why Apple doesn't have it. Maybe it's because OSX incorporates some open-source software in their releases or they can just get away with it. Windows definitely needs some kind of warranty though, because the base-system for home desktop-use and commercial installations has been mostly the same since XP. I'm pretty any license for one of the commercial Unixen, like Solaris, QNX, AIX and HP-UX, would come with an appropriate warranty.

1. Guaranteeing that the software will do substantially what it says it will is actually standard EULA language going back to the early 90s at least. This is mostly just feel-good language. I think what it was originally for is things like damaged diskettes. In 1993 MS-DOS 6.0 had a defective disk compression feature that could result in data loss. It was fixed months later in 6.2 which was a $10 upgrade. Microsoft tried to stop the formation of a class action lawsuit over this and was still litigating the $10 fee in 1996.
2. Microsoft is the only company remaining in the OS sales business. Apple sells hardware and used to sell OS upgrades but it's always had a monopoly on that market. Red Hat and other Linux vendors sell support services. DR-DOS, OS/2, BeOS, GEOS, Netware, all that stuff is ancient history.

Mastodon and Lemmy/Kbin are lively platforms. But they still don't have enough users and content to be able to replace their proprietary counterparts.

I just wish something big would happen, that these capitalist corporations would just make one big mistake that would lead to everyone flooding to the foss alternatives. We need to take back the power and stop relying on private companies to regulate our online interactions. Companies are only driven by profit and the dollar bill, these alternatives are created purely out of goodwill and good intentions. Stop the enshittification now! Freedom from private platforms now! Let the fediverse spread freedom to all!

I'd be more interested in Mastodon and friends if they were less Twitter-like. It's a format I have basically zero interest in, and I find it strange that that's the one everyone glomed on to.

What I'd like to see is something along the lines of a federated Tumblr; more blog-like, both in appearance and functionality. If such a thing exists, please, for the love of god, point me to it.

I hate follow requests they are the dumbest shit ever.

>>25632
I hate character limits. But the appeal of Twitter is that it's social primarily aka you follow people and they follow you, and you post at each other ig.

>>24953
Why do businesses need to be there? If we're taking twitter as an example, it started off getting the users, then the businesses came in to advertise to said users while paying the twitter company for the privilege. But that's centralized. A centralized platform can monetize more easily. What's the gain for a network of different server hosts?

>>24953
The whole point of the fediverse is that its existence is not contingent on profit. An individual instance can be run by a hobbyist in their spare time, a-la the forums of the 2000s and early-2010s, and in practice, the vast majority of them are.

This never happened to me.

If you add

, it will convert everything with ffmpeg just like youtube-dl did.

The Peertube viewing experience is a lot better than it used to be because of fast centralized hosts and limited (almost non-existant) usage. None of those hosts are built to scale. But there's supposed to be P2P load balancing if and when there's load, right? How well does that scale? I think it would be a mixed bag. Popular videos could be fine. Stale videos would be like stale torrents and central hosts under load probably can't pick up the slack. There's also the problem of phone users, asymmetric upload speeds, and data caps which are all bigger problems for general video viewership than they are for traditional P2P traffic. The userbase is vastly different.

>>25582
All clients still work. This isn't a client issue. This is a blacklisted network issue.

>>25594
You can dump your session cookies and use those with yt-dlp. I think there's also an OAUTH fork.

Pretty happy with thumb-key so far, but for those also interested in this, found option is Traditional T9 (A T9 keyboard for devices with a hardware keypad.)

It really doesn't seem like a VR desktop would need that expensive equipment. The only important bits are a high res, small screen and 2 lenses. But people want gyroscopes for some reason when gamepads and mouses do the some thing but less wiggly.
Like we could have cheap home VR if it abandoned it's Nintendonian obsession with hand / body tracking and accepted the potential of VR as purely a steryoscopic, private, non-deskspace-occupying monitor.

>>25545
The point is to avoid motion sickness when you move your head and the screen doesn't move. Along with moving your head being a good way to scroll your view.

>>25541
it got everyone talking about apple again, I honestly don't think they expected to sell that many

>>25556
Oh right… what about a clamp of some sort? Like if the head moving causes the motion sickness then maybe just using it in bed or in a chair that keeps the head pointed forward would fix that.

>>25558
This is solving a problem that doesn't exist though, it's more comfortable to look at monitors than keep something clamped to your face for hours on end.
