You give money to centralized monopolistic capitalists regardless what you do

People buy GPUs already for video games and other purposes. We’re using the same consumer cards, not enterprise ones.

Me: “The system works exactly as advertised for thousands of people”

You, a wise person: “The system doesn’t work as advertised because not everyone in the world is using it.”

You’re a very unserious person, so I won’t engage further with this nonsense.

But I see the same problems as with email, chat etc. You can selfhost almost everything. But too few people are doing it. You can use Linux as your Desktop and at least 4% are doing it. Still too few if you ask me.

The system is explicitly setup so that normal people don’t need to set up anything. Experts and enthusiasts are the one doing the complex work, while normies just use a simply client like this and power users can also use more advanced clients.

And if most of the people keep using the commercial and closed source options over the self hosted one, then I see this concentration of power.

That’s up to all of us to counter by promoting the good solutions instead, not of just despairing and begging politicians to fix this (they won’t, they’ll promote monopolies instead)

This is not theoretical. It already is in place and is already serving people. The only reason it’s not growing more is because we don’t have any marketing and we don’t participate in the capitalist rot economy.

And self hosting requires money and skill. This means there is a lot of people who lack both and may then use closed source models.

This is what we’ve mostly to solved with the AI Horde, where we allow people to rely on self-hosted open models.

The concentration of power part is not true unless people keep trying to use copyrights and the legal system to protect themselves from genai, at which point it will be true. Currently there’s plenty of self hosted solutions like stable diffusion and services like the ai horde to help even people without gpu for free

I’m going to do a charitable interpretation and assume you’re going for the “you’re technically correct” joke

Grandma gets a lot of leeway from me, as she grew in WW1, lived through WW2 and was tortured during the civil war. She has hard as steel. For me it’s still a funny story, especially since at the time I was hiding under a desk scream-crying “iiiiiiiiii” like a goddamn bombing alarm and she just wanted me to shut up :D

Your comment has been reported and I admit, I am trying to understand what joke you’re trying to make here. Can you clarify for me?

Lemmy is adding the tags in the activitypub metadata which mastodon then correctly reads. The tags don’t need to be in the text of the post for mastodon to parse them (neither do the reply usernames for that purpose). It’s just that in your normal mastodon interface, it only parses things from your text, so you’re used to seeing it there.

EDIT: In this specific case, you’re seeing it in the #adhd tag, because it’s tagged like this for being posted in the !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com comm.

Yep, I just didn’t know how to add that succinctly to the title 😁

Any time I see a grognard seriously suggest going back to bash for anything exceeding 10 lines of code it makes me very happy none of them are in control.

Of course! In Greek we say ΓΤΠ and sometimes anglicise it a gtp. It directly translates “for the dick” which means something is rubbish.

We sometimes shorten γαμώτο (fuck) το ‘γμτ’

Started Dave the Diver with the sale.

I’m making the yanks uncomfortable.

I don’t think your argument is making the point you want to make 😆

Meanwhile England created a man-made famine in Ireland and oversaw 15 of them in India, while the US straight up did the worst genocide the world has ever seen and is driving the climate catastrophy which might end up killing most of the humans on earth. Not defending socialist states, but there’s not even a comparison here.

Original Nazi party literally used USA tactics as an example to follow

Don’t put mods on a pedestal.
