I absolutely love Apple Silicon—the performance to power ratio is wonderful, and the high-speed memory makes things like LLMs work great—but the RAM upcharge is insane, and shipping anything “Pro” with 8GB of RAM should be criminal in 2023.

I really hope that Qualcomm can make some noise with their new laptop/desktop processors. Anything to light a fire under Apple’s ass and make them stop skimping on RAM.

It’s gotta be Microsoft building it into Windows. The Apple Silicon transition wouldn’t have been nearly as smooth if people had to pay for, say, CrossOver or something to use their Intel apps. And the tepid response to the ARM Surface models makes me think that it’s a must, despite the UWP dream.

The good news is that Rosetta 2 shows it can be done extremely well!

Don’t worry, I just checked with the Internet Police and it’s fine

get their company name in the news

I feel like this really worked out well for Drinks Company

Yeah I’m into Gitness

Gitness goddamn code to compile

I hope this is the one thing that he actually follows through on. Drive a stake through it already

I’ve been using LM Studio for a while now, and it’s really come along with some great features such as per-chat configs. Performance is capable on a base 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro.

lemm.ee is cool because it federates with so many other instances. I don’t understand why so many people are set on taking that away when they could just join a different instance that shares their zeal for defederating.

Thank you for posing that question! I think the tendency to blame Russia/China/whomever is a complete failure to address the actual root of the issue.

If everyone who works for a non-American intelligence agency suddenly lost the ability to post on the internet, would Americans start getting along better? Or would a significant percentage of Americans still have a reactionary hate fest running on their televisions every waking hour, their opinions reinforced by Facebook echo chambers full of other actual Americans? I think the difference would be so small as to be imperceptible.

When it comes to tearing each other apart and working against our shared interests, America has a well-oiled machine running that hardly requires any foreign intervention.

It’s definitely not the nonstop right-wing hate machine media infrastructure that’s entrenched in American life. And it’s most certainly not an American capitalist class that hoards the wealth and has every incentive to keep the working class at each others’ throats.

At first glance, this makes zero sense, but once you dig in and read the details, it makes even less sense

I had the same experience. I had to use the lemm.ee default web interface to block the two repost bots.

Why is it gross? They’re posting things on their own server as a service to users who want it. They’re not being dishonest or deceitful about it.

Firefish (Mastodon-compatibile microblogging) has a view called “Recommended”, which is like “All” but shows posts from only federated servers that the admins recommend. It’s a great feature and would be welcome on Lemmy.

In the meantime, I’ve blocked the two Reddit repost bot accounts and have been just fine since.

I don’t personally find these bot posts useful, and I think they clutter up the All timeline, but they aren’t being deceitful or anything, and there may be folks who find these posts useful. I like the lemm.ee federation policy of generally allowing everything unless it’s full of bad actors.
