  • Difficult to say, Arm is a bit weird when you compare it to x64 CPU's because it does not have comlex instructions (by design) which means that for low intensity and 'simple' workloads an Arm CPU will be vastly more power efficient. However the more complicated the workload gets the more x64 has an advantage due to specialized instructions.

    So for most users yes Arm will start being very competetive since the #1 metric there is battery life. However for datacenter, workstation and gaming usage Arm just cannot compete and very likely never will.

    Why are people with kids always so triggered by child free people?
  • strictly speaking facts a society needs to reproduce somewhere close to replacement level or above in order to have some semblance of stability, what OP likely means is that they had kids A) because they wanted them and B) because they don't think most people make good parents. By having kids they contributed to the birth rate and therefore (hopefully) removed some unfit person's decision to become a parent because the birth rates are horrendous. Also having kids when you can likely manage to actually raise them properly results in a lower ratio of spoiled brats in the population down the line, idiocracy sadly was very on point with the movies observation about reproduction behaviour among different education levels.

  • As much as I currently prefer AMD processors over Intel I would hate to see them go. Without serious competition AMD will just do the exact same thing Intel did before Ryzen dropped. The problem I see now is that if Intel gets into a situation as horrible as AMD was in there are not as many revolutionary concepts out there anymore that would get them out of that hole.

    Threads spotted exploring ads, but says 'no immediate timeline' toward monetization
  • You very obviously do not understand how the blocklist works so here's a very practical example:

    ani.social is blocked by lemmy.ml.

    Here is a post on lemmy.world containing comments by users from ani.social: https://lemmy.world/post/18538115

    Here is that same post on lemmy.ml, which has blocked ani.social: https://lemmy.ml/post/19043133

    Note the absence of any comment made by a user on ani.social. As far as users on lemmy.ml are concerned ani.social does not exist (as of 10 months ago, some existing content before then can still be viewed). I think you don't know how ActivityPub works and calling me a conspiracy theorist won't change that.

    Threads spotted exploring ads, but says 'no immediate timeline' toward monetization
  • Yes, it is and you don’t even realize that you are participatin in a platform that doesn’t completely block Facebook Threads right now. That’s proof enough that you don’t understand the technology.

    https://sh.itjust.works/instances lists threads.net under the blocked instances list, not everyone is using lemmy.world. Inform yourself before accusing others of making uninformed statements.

    Threads spotted exploring ads, but says 'no immediate timeline' toward monetization
  • No need for admins at all, just have the users keep the place clean entirely by themselves, I'm sure that will work wonders /s. Let's not worry about people browsing the instance before making an account by which they could block such content. That's such a silly idea, who'd ever want to do that. No instead let's make it so the entire thing is only usable with an account... wait I've seen that somewhere else before.

    As for me being "hysteric" about an unfounded "conspiracy theory" I'm not, as is this "feature" is not implemented and if you could read you would have spotted me being pretty clear about this likely being a nothing burger all the way at the start of the conversation. Here's the quote since you apparently missed it:

    And to be fair here if the ads get federated they will likely be marked as such in some way so other Fediverse platforms should be able to filter the ads out easily.

    At the very beginning this was simply a discussion about the potential impacts of this "feature" threads wants to implement. The people coming in here completely naive and blind to any potential outcome to this other than "sunshine and rainbows" are you guys. I'm not saying Threads will push ads into the fediverse. I'm not even claiming they would do it in a malicious manner. I was simply refuting the claim that it could not happen. And despite your claim I am familiar enough with mastodon to know that can happen via tag relays at the very least.

    For someone calling others uninformed about the fediverse I am astonished how uniformed you are about it yourself. I am by no means deeply familiar with the activitypub protocol or the fediverse despite running an instance but I know enough about it that I can say with absolute certainty that ads could and would find their way to the fediverse. Would that be somehow novel and new? No, relays are a known factor and by their very nature they do not filter out unwanted content. When an admin subscribes to a tag or instance relay they get all the content from that relay not only the stuff they want. As such ads would not be much different from a regular post made by a company. I never claimed such anyway. I only claimed if Threads made ads federate (if then most certainly with a marker that it is an ad for compliance reasons) they would end up in the global feeds unless the platform backends implement whatever mechanisms Threads would use to mark those ads in the activitypub data. I see no reason provided so far to discredit that possibilty. Learn to differentiate between hysteria and reasonable discussion before making wild accusations next time.

    Check the modlog for proof, a discussion post about moving this instance to an instance that shan't be named now got removed for "linking to instance featuring pedo content".

    Ironically that exact possibility was reason for the discussion in the first place so seeing it happen this quickly is a bit funny.

    Not sure how best to go about linking to said instance since it seems to get your content removed. DM's would be the only solution I guess but not sure if those are checked as well.

    Last night the instance lemmy.world suffered a JavaScript injection attack. The attack set out to steal login cookies of users upon visiting infected threads, primarily targeting admins.

    Potentially Affected Data

    • E-Mail address stolen and/or changed (if provided in user settings)
    • Password changed

    Mitigations

    Malicious comments have been replaced by a removal message. I have deployed the UI hotfix and @ludrol@bookwormstory.social has deleted all Custom Emoji until it is clear whether those are safe to use. Additionally all login sessions have been invalidated as a safety precaution as well, any cookies that were stolen are now rendered useless.

    Conclusion

    So far it does not seem like this instance was affected.

    If you are not using bookwormstory.social and your instance is not on UI Version 0.18.2-rc.1 please be aware that you are likely still at risk of the attack, please check for any announcements of your instance administrators.

    Details of the vulnerability are here

    I have decided to block Meta's Fediverse platform threads.net. The three reasons pushing me to do so are:

    • Meta's known history of the Embrace-Extend-Extinguush playbook (XMPP)
    • Meta's disturbing data collection practices when it comes to threads.
    • I don't trust Meta to keep their platform properly moderated. Especially since large parts of the fediverse already defederated, reducing the number of independent moderators checking over their content.

    Edit: This is preventitive, threads.net does not offer ActivityPub support currently but has announced plans to do so in the future.

    Are there tags?

    Sadly there aren't (yet), for now please put the tag in brackets with the text in caps like so: [ART]

    I can't see comments in the posts when viewing the community on another lemmy instance

    Federation currently does not fetch past comments only future ones if subscribed, the devs recently have decided to change that but there is no estimate on when

    Can I post AI generated Art?

    Yes but only if you clearly tag it as such. 1st occurence is a warning and an explanation, second occurence is a ban.

    Currently known problematic:

    • lemmy.ml
    • beehaw.org

    I'll look into possible causes for the problem, as of right now the most likely culprit is the excessive server load on these two instances preventing the federation actions from completing.
