I’m sorry, wasn’t aware.

I usually post CBC, but they break metadata embedding on Lemmy.

Since you deleted your post on !opensource@programming.dev, reposting my comment.

Another AI project that will probably be dead in a few months. Also open core not open source as many of the features are not available via self-hosted version.

Self-hosted version which source is available and hosted-version which is not public, are not the same. Or at the very least, planned to not be the same by your own admission as you talked publically about planning on adding paid-only features to hosted version.

Take out “AI features” and you are left with nothing, so yeah, AI project… It also relies on proprietary AI models that you don’t own, so it can stop working at any point and that would be out of your control.

From what I have seen, it more stems from the activism vegans are engaged in more than the actual veganism.

Sure, Lemmy has algorithms, but it’s not the same as being algorithmic. We can continue to argue on the semantics of technical definition, but my point on the issue with toxic mess was clear a few messages above. Intent of the implementation really is the factor that defines the different between platform being algorithmic and using algorithms.

If a user has a chronological feed, and it reaches the top (or bottom) of the content, the user is likely to close the app/page and do something else, but an endless feed will keep the same user longer.

And using user input to sort content is not the same as prioritizing content based on past interactions to achieve a predefined goal.

E.g. Twitter API allowed to pull content in chronological order of only people you followed, but the official app used For You feed as default and even if you changed it manually to chronological in the settings it would reset on app restart. Contrast that with being able to set any sorting method as default on Lemmy or having no algorithm on Mastodon (yet the API allows anyone to create one if they wish) and the difference of intent is clear.

If that’s what you like, use it. Nobody is telling you can’t. Those that prefer non-algorithmic vs algorithmic social media will always be in disagreement, since they are fundamentally opposite of each other.

It’s algorithmic and run by venture capital. 2 things that made social media the toxic mess it is today.

Which point? Or did you see the title and wrote your own narrative?

There is no known viable replacement for asphalt. They all either lack certain features to make it viable in all conditions, or they are exponentially more expensive to produce in big quantities.

There are various green concrete versions, but none that caught up yet. I know the latest trend is mixing graphite into concrete as it has a lot of benefits, but I’m not sure how cost viable it is at scale.

Extra steps in a sense that they talk about it, pretend they are the good guys and then formalize it via a bogus law. Right now they are just doing it de facto without acknowledging it.

Netanyahu is the same person that said US is easily manipulated. I guess he was right.

Netanyahu – who did not hold political office when the recording was made – was dismissive of the United States, calling it easily manipulated.

“I know what America is,” Netanyahu said. “America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won’t get in the way.”

and raised options that would limit Palestinian sovereignty to make the prospect more palatable to Israel.

So not two-state solution, but the same apartheid just with more steps.

Your analysis is flawed.

Full genocide definition: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

It needs 2 elements. Mental and physical.

Israel destroyed all but 5 hospitals in the whole region that housed 2.3 million people;
They are performing a total blockade that cuts off water, food, electricity, gas (also known as siege);
1.9 million people are displaced from their home;
They are intentionally bombing refugee camps they themselves declared “safe zones”;

There is plenty of evidence, half of which is provided by Israel or IDF themselves, to prove the mental intent of genocide. They just feel untouchable with blind US support and their universal defense of Holocaust, which they use as both sword and shield.

Out of 5 physical acts that qualify as genocide, Israel checks 4 of them.

1. Killing members of the group; ✔
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;✔
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;✔
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;✔
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.❌

You have to be either blind or paid off to say it’s not a genocide to kill 90% of civilians and displace from their home 80% of the total population.

They promised to cease as soon as the U.N. Security Council adopts a resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza.

His policies on economy are responsible for billionaire class existing in the US. There is a good read on America only had a handful of billionaires 40 years ago. We’re now creating ‘centibillionaires’–and unless we tax them, trillionaires.

That link on student loan doesn’t really lend credence to the “Biden Backstabbed students on student relief.” Biden’s first plan was broad-based, but again, the conservative US Supreme Court blocked it. That is a direct consequence not of Biden but of putting Republicans in office.

While the original plan was blocked by court, it was blocked because he used COVID-19 emergency power instead of inherent Department of Education power. And credit where it’s due, he did move to the second plan, but instead of keeping it the same as the first, he lowered the number of people that it covers. So now a bunch of people who submitted for relief under the first plan are not covered, and if you think that doesn’t hurt him, you are delusional.

I’m not disagreeing, necessarily, but you’re also deflecting the key point in the context of our discussion: Who is going to come down harder on Israel – Biden, or Trump? The tone has already dramatically shifted in just two months from the Biden administration standing lockstep with Israel and their capacity to defend themselves from the admittedly extremely atrocious October 7th attack – to beginning to shift gears and label their attacks, “Indiscriminate bombing” of civilians.

I think we both know that Biden is more easily influenced under public pressure, but he’s a self-proclaimed Zionist so expecting anything more than verbal warning is naive. Words don’t matter when he’s directly supporting the genocide financially and by blocking ceasefire proposals in the UN.

True, but we know how polling failed to cover Millennials or Zoomers in both 2020 and 2024. The reality is that Democrats haven’t particularly defended themselves on the economy ahead of the election while right-wing media has gone full-tilt in painting this picture of a completely broken economy when it’s anything but. Per your own study, Inflation is a chief concern; but inflation is objectively falling as well. If that metric continues to decline as the trend suggests, then there is little room for Republicans to make ground except for perhaps Immigration; but that’s a dead-horse beaten every election cycle so I consider that a constant.

Like I said, from the numbers perspective the economy looks great, but when you actually poll people on their financial situation it gives the opposite results. If that’s just a result of flawed polling, maybe, can’t say.

Immigration is the biggest joke and the one where reality is irrelevant. Biden literally kept 100% identical policies on immigration as they were under Trump and everyone saying Trump good, Biden bad or vice verse depending on their blind party loyalty.

Forget the curve-ball that is Trump’s 91 criminal charges across 4 Grand Jury indictments and how that is going to be perceived by swing-voters.

It’s ironic, because the only stated reason by Biden for running is defeating Trump. He doesn’t even have his policy agenda published anywhere, (yes, really). But the reality is that if Trump gets booted, that’s even worse for Biden, because in polls any other candidate beats him in general elections by more than Trump.

How did he backstab on student relief? That was entirely the conservative Supreme Court.

And I’m not particularly endorsing of his support for Israel but to his credit he has already shifted his support to calling Israel’s actions as indiscriminate bombing and has denied them apache helicopters. Once again the key question is would Republicans care about such genocide at all? Absolutely not.

US vetoed every single ceasefire proposal in the UN. Telling Israel to bomb innocent civilians nicer is not shifting support.

Abortion is also still a massive topic. There are several things not going the Republican way, and the economy’s high level metrics is just one of them.

Relatively. It’s far from the main issue based on polling. https://www.kff.org/health-reform/poll-finding/kff-health-tracking-poll-november-2023/

I think only ~17% of people said they feel that their life improved economically under Biden (because while it looks good on paper, he didn’t do anything to meaningfully help people in their day to day), all polls show that they trust Republicans more on the economy.

And that is exactly what everyone should do, because on policy Biden is better or the same as Republicans, but as was shown time and time again, not everyone is you. For Republicans to be able to win, all they need is for people not to show up to vote at all, and his backstab with student relief cuts and blind genocide support guaranteed that a significant chunk of young voters will not show up.

Literally any other corporate Democrat polls better than Biden. There were a few polls done Biden vs. generic Democrat and Biden was loosing all of them. It’s also reflected in 60-70% wanting someone else polls.
