… oh…

Should I delete this post? Hahah

I haven’t read the legal outcome, but wouldn’t this have happened anyways if the forums were in other places? The github got removed as well

I partially disagree, the average developer at google is very competent, yet, their work pipelines must be so long and complex that such talent gets somewhat diluted

This is great for linux, but I think many laptops come with a protected BIOS that won’t allow you to boot other OS’s what do you guys do in this case? Also, correct me if I’m wrong!

🤦🏻‍♂️ * inhales deeply *

From everything that can be said about the current world situation, this has to be my favorite way to express it

And they reimburse you that money with a gift card? Is that even legal?

Thanks for sharing!!

I’m assuming the same happens with google (search engine) as well (?)

🥺 I feel sad when I see lemmy’s dwindling numbers…

I agree that is not the worst, but jesus, it’s like watching an imperial destroyer sinking in a lake of tar

Oh, yes! I didn’t know that (https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/01/13/menlo-park-facebook-buys-its-campus-at-sun-microsystems-site/)

Putting aside world inequality and the grim future that awaits us for a sec, medical science keeps moving forward… It took us 13 years to even sequence all the human genome (which was a tremendous effort done by many universities and researchers). Predicting the structures of proteins was an immense problem in biology that was finally solved with AI like 2~ years ago. mRNA vaccines were a super theoretical thing many years ago, but served us to fight covid. There’s a growing number of scientists (like david sinclair) that aren’t afraid of openly taking immortality as an academical challenge and publish research without fear of mockery

People forget technological progress is driven by an exponential growth, seeing all the things we have discovered in the past decades I can’t help but be optimistic about treatments or medicines available for the general public that slow down aging

How does this compare with stable diffusion XL?

That’s a very good point I had never though before

This reminds me of a time when the blender fund was opened and at some point a bunch of companies jumped to donate money (steam, epic, google, AMD…) this was way back when 2.8 was getting in shape. Years later we saw the fruits of that labor with the 3.x series bringing nice improvements and refactors that were done over the course of many months and years

We probably won’t see a huge push in godot’s quality in what’s left of this year, but maybe in 2024 and later

I find it ironical when a huge company diverts efforts into aggressive marketing instead of improving the product itself, it feels like a loss-loss

I don’t want to be a fanboy, but I’m still hopeful that eventually we have enough accessible computing power (individually) such that the self-driving car can be trained end-to-end with “easily” 🤞🏻

Do you guys think linux will ever win over time? I see hate towards ubuntu every now and then but I think of it as the most “idiot-proof” distro (maybe I’m wrong)

Really apple? And they did all that mother nature bullshit with octavia spencer while it was europe who forced them to use a universal connector and stop polluting the world with useless pathetic cables
