Yup you’re right. That last part was more of an addendum for those that consider trying to find new forums.

Obviously, the voting system is only one part of the story. It by itself won’t dictate if a community will be healthy or toxic; other things like the community culture and mods will have a heavier impact. But in my experience, in all the places I’ve been in, the voting system is one of the ingredients that does have an effect on the cake overall.

Sometimes it even triggers an honest discussion.

In my experience, that’s what tends to happen in more traditional forums.

Voting systems are great for threads where the discussions is about problem with an objective solution, but for more subjective topics it just kills discussions.

I recommend anyone that used to be a lot on Reddit, here on Lemmy and/or other forums with karma systems to try out forums without them. Trust me you’ll notice the difference.

Niche forums with small communities tend to be best, and a lot less toxic.

He didn’t say thank you

In their observations and interviews with employees of the 200-person company, the researchers found that generative AI didn’t free up time—it expanded what workers felt capable of, and willing, to take on.

The title is either poorly thought out, or bait lol

TL;DR: the study says that AI doesn’t save time, but it intensifies work because the people using it feel more confident in tackling more things (that’s my interpretation after skimming it)

Better specs sure, but I would sooner cut my wrists than to try to work on an iOS device

Insert here the meme “some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”

I’m not a dictator of a country. But if I was, the moral lesson I would be learning is that it’s better to have nuclear weapons than not, because the US will invade me regardless

I’m a simple man. I see endeavour OS, I like

If they elect Orban again, either EU reforms veto’s or it need to kick hungary out. We can’t have a bad actor that keeps sabotaging the union over and over again

And also spy, no doubt. Considering how the recent administrations are hellbent on introducing mass surveillance

Copy pasting a comment that I saw on Reddit

Link to the original study (with a less sensationalized title):

https://zkae.io/

A few important notes:

• the study is about Bitwarden, LastPass, Dashlane and 1Password. Proton Pass isn’t mentioned.

• the study presumes that they’re working with a malicious server (read this as compromised server, controlled by an attacker). The attacks they talk about in the article would not work on a normal server. Here’s their quote:

No need to panic: all of our attacks presume a malicious server. We have no reason to believe that the password manager vendors are currently malicious or compromised, and as long as things stay that way, your passwords are safe. That said, password managers are high-value targets, and breaches do happen.

• Here’s another quote, about other password managers:

You can ask your provider the following questions:

1. ⁠Do you offer end-to-end encryption? What security do you provide in case your server infrastructure were to be compromised?

2. How do you check that public keys and public-key ciphertexts are authentic?

3. How do you authenticate security-critical settings, such as the KDF type and the iteration count?

4. Do you provide integrity guarantees for a user’s vault as a whole? Can a malicious server add items to your vault?

You can also ask your favourite password manager to commission an audit checking for our attacks in their products.

• If you still feel unsure/unsafe, then adopt an offline password manager (I highly recommend keepassXC).

You’re right, this is normal. Off the top of my head:

• tempura originated because of the trade between the portuguese and japanese

• portuguese monopoly on cinnamon trade with Sri Lanka and India, allowed Europe to get it for cheap and it became a main ingredient in a lot of desserts and confections

• the UKs tea culture came from a portugese noblewoman, who learned it from China

Cultures are constantly taking ideas from each orher

Yeah you’re right, I was just making a joke.

But it does create some silly situations like you said

I could’ve told you that for free, no need for a study

My company forced us to use only Chrome on our PC’s and one of the things I was worried about was the ads. I put youtube in the background while I work.

And I was surprised by how… My experience was exactly the same as Firefox and Brave. Ok, actually, one or two ads managed to slip through and appeared in the front page - albeit rarely and randomly - but I never got those ads at the beginning of the video. On other websites, I never got ads.

I was wondering, then, if there was some catch. Maybe the trackers would still get through or something. But according to that link, not even that? lol

I would love to read an independent study on this, but this is from Anthropic (the guys that make Claude) so it’s definitely biased.

Speaking for myself, I’ve been using LLM’s to help out with jumps in small gaps of knowledge. Like for example, I know what I need to do, I just don’t know/remember the specific functions or libraries that I need to do that in Python. LLM is extremely useful for these moments; and it’s faster than searching and asking on forums. And to be transparent, I did learn a few tricks here and there.

But if someone lets the LLM do most of the work - like vibe coders - I doubt they will learn anything.

but they’re easily outnumbered by the console market

I don’t think this is the case nowadays. I remember reading an article that PC market was outselling the console market.

But yes, the mobile market is a giant

edit: found it: https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/new-report-says-pc-games-are-outselling-console-games-calling-pc-gaming-a-bright-spot-in-a-troubled-industry/

PC’s consumer spending in 2024 was ~$30B, while consoles was $18B (including the Switch)

Anyone managed to download the report? Here it just says “form submitted” and then nothing happens. No emails no nothing.

Even on land. I’ve seen what lions do when they take over a pride
