I am honestly shocked that someone at FB would post critiques about their board members in their internal forums.

Surely they should be smart enough to understand that:

1. Senior management doesn’t give a fuck what they think.
2. The internal forums aren’t actually for feedback. It’s an HR management tool.

That being said, if the posters are young, then it is somewhat understandable.

I had firmware updates for a 1080 Philips TV from ~2010.

You could do it via USB.

Not only that, but they tend to adopt the new tech on their terms and reject the mainstream adoption approach.

You really start to feel old when the cyberpunk novels of the 80s and 90s start to become reality (not in a literal sense, but elements are definitely coming true). It was 40 years since Neuromancer was released last year.

Big Macs, M4 Macbooks and AI Slop about the danger of woke to human civilization.

Fair point.

I generally avoid YT on any serious topics unless the video medium is used in a way that contributes to the discussion (e.g. a debate, interview, guest hosts, use of slides/charts/videos).

Only option is to ignore and stick to your community/instance rules and overall vibe.

I occasionally have known tankies comment in one of the communities I am modding. I just don’t engage.

And being Ukrainian I have a good reason to be very negative towards tankies.

For what it’s worth, I find it helps to contextualise things for yourself. At the end of the day, it’s not that big of a deal.

Is this spam for a clickbait YT channel or is this for real?

Unless this was generated via LLM, seems like a lot of effort for clickbait spam.

I didn’t think of it in this way, but it does sound very convincing.

Meta would love to essentially make fake virtual influencers to get all their money and have more control.

Happy New Year everyone!

[email protected] is enjoying steady growth, engagement trajectory is at last growing. Biggest issue is few non-mod posts. I initially created this community because there was no active generic hardware community on lemmy and the only semi-active one was on ML. However, my goal was to get to a critical mass, where I didn’t have to post regularly. Seems like this will take a while and will probably require a reddit migration to push up lemmy/threadiverse to at least over 100K stable MAUs.

[email protected], while small, has a somewhat decent engagement trajectory.

[email protected] and to a lesser extent [email protected] feel somewhat stagnant even with regular (mod initiated) posts.

Nice one! It’s honestly too bad they didn’t actually call it Putastation or Putabox! Putabox would have been even better IMO. That would have been so hilarious!

Beautiful irony to see this coming from Sam “Worldcoin” Altman.

Bonus points, try inputting a prompt into ChatGPT asking whether Sam Altman is an oligarch and his “rescue” of Worldcoin executives in Kenya is an example of oligarch power.
