you hear that said about AI because companies are desperately throwing more and more resources at it to get 0.3% better results, and people are collectively running an insane amount of prompts all the time.

but on a personal level it’s not really any different from any other computations, people render videos all the time and no one complains about the resource usage from that, because companies aren’t trying to sell bloated video rendering services to gardening businesses.

it’s unclear what the shared secret is.

it’s actually just literally any string you want, but they should tell you that fact in the same paragraph as when it’s relevant…

funnily there’s an… ansible i think? project that makes selfhosting synapse easy as fuck, you basically just go “ansible deploy synapse” or whatever the syntax is and it does almost everything for you.

the documentation is just missing clearly stating that fact, though from what i recall i think that might be said in the config file?

sure, let me know when you find a good workplace! i’ll be waiting in my comfy chair because that’s going to take a while.

i would not be surprised if that’s straight up illegal

“why does no one want to work anymore???”

i’m sorry but are you commenting this for any reason other than to make yourself feel better about owning a car? i see people doing this all the time and i don’t get what other reason there would be to bring it up as the immediate response to comments about going car-free

yes, obviously you can’t live without a car if you need the car to live! but millions and millions of people would actively enjoy life more without a car.

this is why i don’t own a car

people really don’t seem to understand that this will never stop unless we move away from capitalism

also highly questionable origins and who knows what kind of conditions the assembly workers went through

“COMPUTER, TURN OFF THAT NOISE” is obligatory, i feel

that uh, doesn’t sound like something they can legally do?

autistic people could actually get hired

e-scooter man, he fears no filled parking lot as he can simply park further away and take his scooter to the store.

of course, he lives in constant fear and jealousy of walkable city man, who simply walks to the store and doesn’t quite understand what a parking lot is.

and sniping, good lord what an OP power for a sniper.

i’ve always thought that if plants could talk they’d be unflinching hedonists who just shrug when harmed and will not hesitate to invite ANYTHING to have a fun time with them.

“ohhh yeah baby eat my fruit! spit the seeds out!”

learn to squat, your legs become your own seat.

I would say that the question makes no sense and the discussion of this kind of thing is rather pointless and ends up merely being people dressing vague feelings in flowery pseudoscientific language.

People can’t agree on a definition of consciousness and it’s questionable whether consciousness is even a thing, so i don’t see how you can tangibly draw any conclusions about even more abstract stuff.

it’s amazing how many people think “liberal” = “leftist”
