kinsnik , to Linux in Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines

"dominance"... You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means

kinsnik , to Ask Lemmy in What are the most evil media corporations in the world?

there is a lot to criticize Disney for, but at least they are not pushing hateful and harmful content like Fox News (which is the only part of Fox that Disney doesn't own), the Sinclair Group or some state-owned media like Russia Today does

kinsnik , to No Stupid Questions in Why do teeth don't regenerate?

The diet that we evolved to consume (fruits, lean meats and fibrous plants) was much less damaging to our teeth than the current high-sugar, high-fat, highly processed foods. And human lifespans was shorter, so less time for teeth to damage.
So there wasn’t a strong evolutionary need to regenerate them (unlike an animal like sharks)

kinsnik , to Games in IGN immediately lays off every non-UK person at their newly bought sites, including some key members like deputy editor Alice Bell

RPS already has an article “celebrating Alices in games” as a sneaky attack on this.

kinsnik , to memes in Seriously, why aren't most people using adblock these days

google (and other ad companies) keep a digital profile (or footprint) of all your clicks. so, for example, if you click on an ad for a fantasy book, they will save that you are at least interested on fantasy books, giving you more ads for that. in theory that might not sound so bad ("hey, at least the ads will be more relevant") but in reality the amount of data that they store is incredibly invasive.

by clicking random ads, the quality of that profile would go down, as it will no longer be your true interests, thus "messing with digital footprint"

kinsnik , to 196 in Imagination rule

there is a lot of nuance in the discussion, but a lot of people just want a quick black and white answer. you can use AI to supplement other artistic projects (like using AI to create images for a comic you wrote), so i don't agree with the premise of the post

but i also don't agree with people who say that AI is just another tool. i think that it is a paradigm changing tool, that is going to make us have to rethink how we interact with art.

kinsnik , to 196 in Smoko rule

Maybe smoking more? I would say that smoking (tabaco) is more common for my European friends, than my American friends. But most of my European friends are French, and most of my American friends are from the Bay Area, so it is more probable a California vs France than American vs Europe

kinsnik , to Showerthoughts in Take That, Conspiracy Nuts!

When you move, you actually stay in the same coords (0,0,0) and the world is moved around, avoid bugs with lost precision at large values. Twinkling stars? Glitches in the rendering of far away objects

kinsnik , to Technology in DuckDuckGo AI Chat

If they are using GPT-3.5 and Claude, that means that they are sending the chats to Open AI and Anthropic, right? How can they assure that the chats are private and not being used in training if they don’t control what other companies do?

Edit: ok, they claim to have agreements with them to delete chats within 30 days and they hide the user IP
