  • Honestly, not that great

    It was really good at the start of the exodus, when I felt like I could write and be read, instead of missing the post by like an hour and being the 10,000th comment

    And the community was good, too But now it seriously feels stagnant in an active way

    I don’t really know if it’s because of Lemmy itself, or because “Eternity for Lemmy” was named after it’s update schedule, but every day on this app feels completely identical to every other day Just politics, Linux, and bad memes That is basically the reddit experience, I will admit, but on here there are basically zero active niche communities, and basically deserts of fandoms

    I think Lemmy did get a sort method to try and accommodate more niche communities, but like I said “Eternity” is the update schedule, so whatever that may be I don’t have access to it

    And I think that’s a really big thing, actually My app of choice is abandonware compared to other clients, I’ve reported a bug that gets under my skin 6 months ago and there hasn’t been a single update, so i have to live with accidentally opening posts all the time and I hate it

    I really really like this client otherwise, but I might just move to a better client or a fork of the same project, I don’t know

    I also don’t have instance blocking, either, so that’s fun




  • This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run

    And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be

    What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?





  • I’d recommend reading Wikipedia

    More content than you could possibly read, short reads typically, you learn stuff, and you can make games out of it

    A game I like to play is to come up with 2 completely unrelated things, start on thing 1, and see if you can get to thing 2 on Wikipedia in 6 tabs or less, using Wikipedia links only
