Imagine the size of the trash can lid needed for this

Beautiful

Imagine the drum set you have to make after this

That’s a wide stance my guy

Yeah, subscriptions and donations would have to be more than what is now. But distributed and federated systems and not chasing profitability at corporations would go a long way to running systems. Lemmy for example can be an alternative to Reddit while running off of hobbyist and donarion run servers. Gmail probably costs a fortune but what about 100,000 small independent email servers taking its place? Email is already a federated system. And then there’s self hosting. I bought a second hand computer and run the equivalent of Google Photos for myself and others on it for very cheap. Putting all these together, and if these were the default and more supported, the infrastructure costs can be spread thin.

Probably a lot more subscription based stuff. People don’t flinch about spending $50-$100 on their phone subscription but email, which is equally important, people expect it to be free from places like Google.

I don’t want to be that person and bring up this argument which isn’t answering your question but does big tech need to be funded? There is great open source alternatives to most big tech which are either ran by volunteers or funded by donation. They would be so much better supported if big tech alternatives did not exist.

Big tech selling hardware would still be funded that way. Apple, Lenovo, etc etc would be similarly funded. Microsoft sells licenses to their operating system.

I would argue the world would be a much better place if big tech wasn’t funded and open source projects were king.

Lemmy AI detectives aren’t the smartest.

A toonie saved is a toonie earned

Of course, that’s why I sum my spreadsheets by hand with pen and paper and then enter the total back into the sheet

Lemmy is so anti AI it’s annoying but also kinda entertaining. It’s funny seeing people get so upset that they laughed at a meme and then they realize there’s AI used in and they get all butthurt.

What MacBook and distro? I had my 2015 MacBook Pro audio work out of the box with Ubuntu 6 years ago when I installed it. The only thing that didn’t work right away was the webcam

You’re pulling out layers to this meme that I did not know there was

Yes. I want one!

I thought of it as grading as in an academic setting. If the top commercial models are putting out essays that are graded at 100%. The on prem models are putting out results that are graded at 90%. In the case of support emails, the results won’t be much different.

No. Take Linux for example, it is already “reverse engineered” as it is open source. It has immense value as it powers the majority of the Internet and mobile devices.

They’ve tried nothing and they’re all out of ideas.

Probably had 4 as the admin password

LLMs for security review is a great use of the tool. Let it give you bugs and security issues ranked by severity and suggestions on how to fix them, then it’s up to you to implement if you want to have a layer of isolation.

Can’t come soon enough.
