oh no they only have 3.5 billion users how will meta ever survive, their ability to take on debt must mean they are seen as unable to pay debts

What I’m saying is that’s actually very hard unless you run a super sterile account on purpose. Even just your writing style is a pretty good fingerprint. Your IP. Any pictures you’ve posted. It’s a rough world out there for privacy
It’s not that hard to identify people online. My account is definitely not private
It’s occasionally worth calling out that votes are also public. I think twice before hitting those buttons

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: The French language is projected to be the world's most widely spoken language in the world by 2050

Literally anywhere on Google. But it also makes sense when you think about ChromeOS & non-us aligned countries - what else are they gonna use?
I unironically want this to make wizard scrolls

Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite has seen a massive jolt in growth over the holiday season, surpassing 50k active users. The Fedora Atomic image has gained 38.8k users total in 2025 since it began counting in April 🥳
102·5 months agoHuh I guess it’s “normal” but I hadn’t heard of Linux OSes tracking active user telemetry. Turns out this is a fedora / rpm mechanism that tracks the ip addresses of people updating their system. Something to think about. Archlinux for example does not do any form of this tracking as far as I can tell

29·7 months agoWow holy crap, great work - the world badly needs this. Im assuming the mechanism is the same, you inject a js script into your site. I’m also very interested in pure server side solutions for analytics, but they can’t hit all the features you did in a generic way afaik

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Android really the next big desktop operating system?English
81·7 months agoMight as well just run Linux at that point and if you want android apps, waydroid. The value prop of Chromebooks was supposed to be that you can just factory reset it at any point and log back in

Technology@lemmy.world•Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulationEnglish
2·7 months agoThe mind while lucid dreaming is creating a whole environment, which for some people has incredible level of detail. Your “consciousness” is experiencing a whole video game or whatever, which must be simulated to be percieved. Imagine you had some kind of really advanced VR setup and body suit that could touch your senses very richly - something must be feeding that perception, a simulation

Technology@lemmy.world•Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulationEnglish
248·7 months agoPeople who are lucid dreaming simulate a full reality that’s nearly indistinguishable from the one they find themselves in during waking time. If your brain can’t tell the difference during this time, how can you be sure you’re not dreaming right now reading this?
The scope of what a simulation is has always been limited by the technology we know. It is only a failing of imagination and knowledge to assume that algorithmic computation is the only valid form of simulation in the future, these have existed for barely 100 years, but even Plato’s cave was talking about the larger philosophical problem

Technology@lemmy.world•Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulationEnglish
507·7 months agoThis is such a boring take, I wonder how anyone gets funding or publication making a statement as useless as “see godels incompleteness theorem that proves that there’s more truth than what mathematics can prove, therefore reality is not a simulation”. Yes, we know, you don’t need a PhD to know the major theorem that took down the entire school of logical positivism. The fundamental philosophical error here is assuming that all forms of simulation are computational or mathematical. Counterexample: your dreams are a form of simulation (probably). So I can literally disprove this take in my sleep
What the fuck this is the best idea ever
Really, that’s still the case for wine in 2025? It runs most things very well, including 3D

Technology@lemmy.world•I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence EdenEnglish
1·10 months agoWell the old clients are backward compatible, but you should check if your client can use new features. But mostly it’s that you have to be on a server that supports it

Technology@lemmy.world•I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence EdenEnglish
3·10 months agoI assessed Matrix a few years ago and came to the same conclusion. I went with IRC3 which is a new standard that overcomes most of IRC’s issues. I think IRC is still quite good, and actually has working clients for everything, web etc

Technology@lemmy.world•The Death Of Industrial Design And The Era Of Dull ElectronicsEnglish
6·11 months agoshows crt with speakers and buttons
Now THIS was design
Idk I kinda like modern minimal / flexible, assuming it works. It’s often easier to customize something in an app than with a bunch of dials. Stuff like hue has shown it possible to make physical buttons to control smart devices, if you want them
Meanwhile he glosses over the fact that Samsung has all the foldables now, and that’s a pretty extreme industrial design in the modern era

Already happened with Cerebras and they landed at a stable 2x of the open. SpaceX is probably going to be next & set the real standard
