I posted the headline as-is. Updated it with the new headline.

But the main thing is this while story is some bizarre idea that a new device getting nearly 1% of global sales in its first quarter is doing badly?

There was a lot of hype for this and some sketchy work by Qualcomm around benchmarks (initially posted benchmarks that were based on a linux setup with 100% custom cooling, none of the released products came close to this result and it’s not really viable to run Linux on Snapdragon X devices even to this day).

• Ars Technica - Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon
• The Verge - Qualcomm’s next round of PC chips will fight Apple under the name Snapdragon X
• Tomshardware - Snapdragon X Elite Outperforms Intel, AMD, Apple CPUs (In Vendor Benchmarks)

Monitors aren’t being pumped full of this stuff and so won’t the premium televisions.

I have a feeling premium TVs won’t escape adware/spyware either. They can get their margin on the hardware and earn some more money on spyware; I don’t see what incentive they have to not do both. I hope I am wrong though.

I suspect in the near future it will be impossible to buy a TV without spyware/adware. The only option will be to not connect it to the internet and run your own Raspberry PI/SBC based solution.

Oligarchs are going to do oligarch things.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Macedonia, Botswana or the US.

It’s fair to call people who white-wash authoritarianism, genocide and roleplay as communists tankies.

This is not a matter of different opinions. They openly support the russian invasion, the atrocities of the russian occupation and reject Ukrainian identity and self-determination.

It’s the literal definition of the word.

I agree with you. IMO, it’s not that different.

The big difference is between the tankie LARPer instances (lemmygrad, hexbear, parts of lemmy.ml) and the rest of the major instances.

The issue being discussed does not fall under defamation.

You would be fine with AI-gen porn images of your teenage daughter being distributed around the internet?

I believe it’s notably worse. The focus seems to be more on industrial use cases with stationary batteries.

This is honestly pretty funny stuff.

Even if you are not doing anything particularly sketchy, you still want to make a habit of using multiple unrelated email addresses and always using alts with new unrelated names.

That’s some pretty bad opsec, using a single email address with the same nick.

These are big technical issues IMO, especially considering the large amount of tankies on Lemmy. It doesn’t help that many tankies have accounts on LW and other “normal” instances.

I told you would downplay russian atrocities and come up with some CIA word salad. You’ve never been to Ukraine, you don’t speak Ukrainian and you dare lecture me and tell me that russian invasion is not that bad?

Get fucked, you vile tankie! I hope the very atrocities you deny will catch up to you one day!

I am merely going by their actions, not by your words.

Of course, they support the killing. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t glorify Mao; a mass murders and an authoritarian scumbag.

Yes, they do wish Ukrainians death. They support the russian invasion and the russian occupation. The instance is rife with cheering for the russian army.

The NATO stuff is a ruse. Just a way to cover their support for genocidal imperialism. Ukraine was neutral … wait for it … before the russians invaded.

That thread is a cesspool of support russian genocidal imperialim.

Communists want the war to end and blame NATO for provoking and prolonging it.

This basically means we want russia to win to conduct more atrocities likes in Bucha. Just wild uncontrolled killing of civilians, rape and destruction. And Bucha is just one example that got in the news. There are mass graves in Izyum. Russians targeting civilians with drones in Kherson. Russians bombing a children’s cancer hospital with cruise missile.

But no, NATO made them do it! And not a word about russian atrocities.

I also doubt that Russia banned the Ukrainian language or sent people to torture camps for speaking it. Could you provide a source for this?

You do know how to use web search, right? You’re just going to say some non-sequitur about NATO and bla bla bla or that it’s all made up.

I answered a few messages above. I doubt that the devs wish harm to Ukraine or people in general. And even if they did, you would be no better than them 🤷

That’s not what I asked though.

We both agree that lemmygrad actively support the russian invasion of Ukraine. They cheer on the invasion and call for russian military success? Is this not true?

I asked you why I shouldn’t hate them for it? Nothing to do with being no better them or whatever. I asked why I shouldn’t hate people who support the invasion of my country and wish me harm?

From the source Bloomberg article:

Like Google and Anthropic, OpenAI is now shifting attention from the size of these models to newer use cases, including a crop of AI tools called agents that can book flights or send emails on a user’s behalf. “We will have better and better models,” Altman wrote on Reddit. “But I think the thing that will feel like the next giant breakthrough will be agents.”

The fact that Sam “worldcoin” Altman is saying this publicly (like anyone would trust an LLM to book a flight or to send non-trivial emails) suggests the grift may be coming to an end.

But you are trying to make something bad look good. Mao is a bad person. He is a mass murder, an authoritarian. Good things can and should be achieved without mass murder.

Their opposition to NATO expansion is just another facet of their support for genocidal imperialism because they know that being in NATO makes it much less likely that russians will invade. The “US greater evil” is all BS. If they truely believed that they would move to russia or china. But they don’t, they LARP as communists while stuffing their mouths with Big Macs and playing US-developed video games (in which they try to role play their imperialist fantasies).

For example, looking at the upvotes on this comment from Lemmygrad’s world news, it’s clear that they feel sympathy for Ukraine. There are individuals, like this commenter, who suggest bombing Ukraine, but the comment is downvoted.

Really, this is best you could find? You’re really grasping at straws here. How is this a proxy war? Russian literally invaded my country. This is a russian genocidal invasion. If the Americans forced everyone in a hypothetically annexed Basra to eat tex-mex pork chops and banned Arabic and sent anyone caught speaking it to torture camps, you wouldn’t call it genocidal imperialism? Just war, right?

I asked you some clear and direct questions and you come up with BS? Do you even believe what you are writing or are you just essentially shitposting?

We both know they actively support and cheer on the russian invasion. In an explicit and genuine manner. They want russia to be successful in its invasion of Ukraine. They want Ukrainian speakers in the occupied territories to be sent to torture camps. It is not difficult to say the russians were wrong to invade and it is wrong to commit atrocities and torture people (instead of just blaming Ukraine for mobilization).

Why should I not hate them for this? Why shouldn’t I want them to meet the same fate as the “Donbas Cowboy”, Russell Bentley? Just imagine what was going through his mind in his last moments - must have a been a true moment of clarity. I want them to achieve that same that same level of clarity.

Can you explain this to me? You keep ignoring this point.
