There is a lot of great innovation coming from the EU. The development of Lemmy is for example funded by the EU public sector.

How does Lemmy affect GDP though, how many work places has Lemmy created? The article is about economics, after all. And what’s the actual innovation? It’s based on a W3C standard and is essentially a clone of reddit. There’s no innovation.

Wasn’t reddit always like that? Or was this particular sub okay?

I admire people who can look at this and spot any difference without putting 2023 and 2024 cars side by side. Anyway, I like it, so it’s good that it’s more or less the same!

And?

That explains it. Microsoft wants to cash in on their massive investment in OpenAI by embedding ChatGPT into every bit of software they can.

Given how slow and laggy ChatGPT4 is, they’re running ahead of the train. Ultimately, this will lead existing customers to competitors.

Mate, just learn how to admit when you’re wrong. That’s a useful skill in life.

Not all creators are orcs, of course. But people who don’t understand deliberately exaggerated comparisons might be. I believe that you understood my point. Don’t start arguing over nothing.

Duolingo isn’t a good resource for learning a language, it’s focus is user retention

These two statements contradict each other. To learn a language you must practice it every day, week after week, month after month. It’s an appropriate application of addictive game mechanics, because our motivation doesn’t last long: 1-3 months for most people.

Duolingo might not be the best place to learn some languages (e.g. German), but it can be a very helpful tool for everyday practice. And stuff like streaks, leagues, and other things are rather helpful.

Orcs versus progress.

The whole server is running under the VPN.

anyone with the tech knowledge

That rules out most of the people.

to the point of being denied service

Yes. Spotify blocks my account if I’m using VPN, ChatGPT asks to solve ridiculous captchas (on a paid account!). It’s crazy. Reddit blocks access if you’re on the VPN and not logged in.

Yep, that is a major issue for many people in my country, as most live in apartments.

Lol it’s like a corporation joined Fediverse: “Let’s create a service that’ll do everything.” Specialization is what makes them good.

Given where it’s located, I don’t plan to use it. I already have 3 useless buttons to the right of the space bar!

Imagine instead of fueling up once or twice a week, you start everyday at Full.

Sure. I can also imagine Taylor Swift sitting on my lap, but that won’t change the reality. If you live in a regular tenement block, charging your car becomes a problem, and you’ll be the one paying for the infrastructure if it’s not there yet (and it isn’t where I live). Add these extra costs to the difference between a regular and EV car. Even if you’re ready to pay, it’s not guaranteed that other residents will approve that.

Well, I can only speak for myself: EVs cost 5-10k more and I can’t charge it in one minute like a regular car.

Is this a preview of 2024? I don’t like it!

I love FOSS.
