I believe we have different definitions of slop. Slop isn’t the input to me but the output. You can get all the best ingredients to make a pie but if you mix it wrong, you get slop. Same goes for low quality input being moulded into a gem.
AI doesn’t always output slop.
And if you’re focusing on input, then all your electronics are slop. It’s almost guaranteed that child labor and exploitation was involved in collecting the resources required to build it. Your chocolate is most likely slop tooby your logic - if you bought any big brand or no name chocolate, child labor was almost certainly involved. And those children were likely also sold by their parents. There are also US products made from slaves (they call them prisoners, but is it really OK to lock somebody up for stealing a cookie and forcing them to work 8 hour days for cents per hour?) and in China Uyghurs are also forced to work unpaid. If you drink tea or coffee, boy is that all slop. The amount of land that ceded place to the large tea plantations (and let’s not get started on products with palm oil) and underpaid, overworked workers (mostly women BTW) are almost guaranteed to make that tea or coffee = slop.
The dedication of this man is irreplaceable! Color me impressed 🫨


Rust haters are just a hilarious species. It’s like they are paid Russian trolls blowing everything out of proportion, making nonsensical arguments, and always whining about one thing or another.
I can’t tell if these are real people or just bot and sock puppet accounts operated by suckless.


Not all AI output is slop and not all slop is AI output.
Do Lemmy and PieFed support transferring subscriptions?


He hates Rust too? What doesn’t he hate now?
What do you mean by better?


United States of China? They made fun of China but secretly wanted to be better than them at surveillance.


That’s uh… interesting? I bet it wasn’t written in Godot.


Amazon Game Studios
Nope. Fuck Amazon.


Actually, I want Android to be more locked down so that devs can work on an alternative (linux phone?) and hopefully the EU can be forced to develop something on their own without relying on Google. Sometimes, things have to get bad enough for people to realise the problems.
It won’t be easy, but nothing moves people more than danger or facing reality.
I’d like a comparison of Signal vs Jami, Briar, and SimpleX. They are all decentralised to some degree.


So in your world, I could spam the network with CSAM, gore, rape, and everything else and it would be up to a small group of people to filter that out for the rest so they can subscribe to what that small group thinks is appropriate?


“Kernel version numbers are easy”


Didn’t know about those. Thanks for bringing them to my attention. I wonder how they compare to libxml2.


The Linux Foundation is too busy funding AI, it seems.


They support MKV now???


Phoronix commentors will be furious.
I wonder why they didn’t build on top of matrix…
