If you disable… needs to be configured… just have to install the packages

And this is exactly the problem. I suppose there might be a way to fix it, but if Windows can just make it work for me, why can’t Linux do the same? All this “Oh you just need to do X and Y” should be unnecessary bullshit.

Also, it’s not that it doesn’t work at all on Linux, but it works sporadically. For instance, when the system goes to sleep and needs to wake up, the screens sometimes turn on, sometimes they don’t and I need to pull the plug and reconnect. This is never necessary on Windows.

I’m having it on my Framework laptop - I really was hopeful that it would just work with that :(

… Unless of course you’re trying to connect two external monitors through a docking station with a USB-C into the laptop with a closed lid and disabled inbuilt screen.

Unfortunately, in my experience, Linux routinely fails at this task (tried many different distros) while Windows “just works”.

This film gets cooler and cooler the more I hear about it! Really gotta watch it.

Almost every community in the fediverse is full of this crap. Things aren’t removed because they’re harmful, they’re removed because some mod disagrees.

You should start your own instance it sounds like :P

Tbh I think even such a thing is not that great for children. Certainly not traumatic or close to it, but just not very effective I would guess.

“Tech” journalists spend way too much time in the headlines of other outlets, getting a much too shallow idea of the actual tech that they’re supposed to cover. It’s quite sad that this is the state of so-called tech journalism.

Like a 15 minute time out is ok.

Locked in a room or locked out of the house? That is not okay, regardless of how long it is.

Laying the matter truly bare would be:

To be fair, there’s always been something deeply wrong with how most people understand the universe.

I’m actually most concerned with the IP leaking

I’m curious, what is it about IP leaking that concerns you? I’ve been thinking about it lately but I have a hard time seeing why it’s a problem.

Why is this posted in the fediverse community? I get that you think this is important, but this is an international community and many here have no way to influence American politics. It’s also just off topic.

Why are you making such a strawman? Using an AI model to completely generate a picture is obviously not the same as using the tools you mention here.

[PieFed] seems to be strongly opinionated about how people should behave and it kinda gives me an icky feeling about its culture

Yea, I get this same feeling. It’s not that I mind that culture or being mindful of how people behave and such - I just don’t think that is the domain of the software to decide. Individual instances can decide that for themselves, but the software shouldn’t influence that kind of thing, I feel.

Well, that might be the cause. Kinda scary you get recommendations like that just due to no history.

Wow your YouTube recommendations are very different from mine.

It’s not meant to be a messenger, it’s not meant for privacy. Everything being public and transparent is part of the core design of the Fediverse. The idea of private groups/posts on the Fediverse seems counterintuitive to me.

Just want to counter this: Privacy is in fact a part of ActivityPub. Stuff is only meant to be public if it is sent to the Public collection, otherwise it should only be delivered to the intended recipients, much like email. This is part of the core protocol, not any extension.

If you are hosting a Lemmy instance, I suggest requiring new accounts to provide an email address and pass a captcha.

The captchas are ridiculously ineffective and anyone can get dummy emails. Registration applications is the only way to go.

Sometimes t’s difficult on an individual post level unless there are telltale signs. Typically have to look for patterns in different posts by the same account and account for writing styles.

The problem is that this is only going to get harder. First of all, AI is going to get better and be able to produce more natural sounding stuff.

But also, people will inevitably get affected by AI as well and people will drift towards sounding more like AI too. So both AI and humans will converge on each other and they’ll likely be impossible to tell apart in general in not too many years.

I’m not sure how we solve this tbh.

I wouldn’t consider it rude in the Danish communities we have in Feddit.dk, but that’s also cause basically all danes are fluent in English, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

Thanks anyway. Personally I haven’t been impressed either by the stability and performance of Lemmy. It is what it is I guess.
