"Socialism" is used in a variety of ways. Inferring from OP's question it seems like they are asking about a socialist mode of production, ie communism.
What happens if someone refuses to do any chores in a shared household? There are already plenty of situations where people do work for free because it's in your own interests. In groups like households people take turns taking out the bins and cleaning. In a communist society people will take turns doing the necessary work. If someone refuses, maybe something is wrong in their life, and they need help. At the end of the day, there's no economic coercion in a classless society. If one in a million people don't work for no understandable reason (disability, depression, personal issues, etc) then let them. What else are you going to do? Work or starve? Incarceration? The point of the universal emancipation that communism brings is to do away with those evils.
Donations.
I don't find subscriptions too offensive, however any kind of restriction of the flow of information (e.g. by paywalling it) implies its enforcement. What are you going to do about people bypassing the paywall? Even if you only responded by patching whatever allowed them to bypass the paywall, you're either going to have to let up eventually, or get into a protracted cat-and-mouse game with paywall bypassers. And you don't want to end up on the side of the people who want to gatekeep information.
So that leaves us with the possibility of having a subscription that's not stringently enforced—in which case it is just a recurring donation anyway.
Of course, this discussion is limited to the scope of "what would a news outlet do without changing anything about society"—but the decent news outlets do also try to change things about society. Within capitalism, things like UBI would make it much easier for free journalism to exist. And of course this problem goes away entirely with capitalism.
Yay
I only use flatpak for one Python program because it has a lot of runtime dependencies I don't want to bother with. I generally wouldn't use flatpak.
Depends on what you define as "politics" but aside from "everything is politics", my Lemmy feed is mostly tech stuff. Just subscribe to communities that fit your interests. That being said, many interests will be under-represented on Lemmy as I think the user base skews either technical or political or both.
I don't agree. LLMs are by design probabilistic. Chainsaws aren't designed to be probabilistic, and any functionality that is probabilistic (aside from philosophical questions about what it is possible to be certain about, YKWIM) is aimed to be minimised. You're supposed to be able to give the same model the same prompt twice and get two different answers. You're not meant to be able to use a chainsaw the same way on the same object and have it cut significantly differently. You're inherently leaving much more to chance by using LLMs to generate code, and creating more work for yourself as you have to review LLM code, which is generally lower quality than human-written code.
Not comparable at all. Power tools work deterministically. A powered chainsaw is not going to have a 0.1% chance of chopping a completely different tree on the other side of the forest. Of course accidents happen; your hand can slip. But a proper comparison would be if you got a computer to look at a large number of powered chainsaws and then generate its own in CAD based on what it's seen, and then you use that generated power tool. Which, for something as potentially dangerous as a powered chainsaw, you most likely wouldn't want to do, and would want to have careful human oversight over every part of design.
I also got LLM vibes. However, some humans do just genuinely write like that. It's particularly an issue with ESL speakers getting caught in false positives, although this author seems to be a white Australian guy who is probably a native English speaker.
I suppose if you were really bothered you could go back and look at his writing before the dawn of the vibes and see if his writing style is about the same. I don't care enough to check.
That's a pretty misleading headline. The news article is about a cool art installation, in which an artist has used a deceased composer's DNA to produce electrical signals that are interpreted as music. Still cool, but it's not "composing music" in the same sense as the alive musician was composing music.
Jerk your buddy off for him since he can't do that right now
I don't think there is a "dead giveaway". Plenty of kids can pass as adults online and plenty of adults seem like kids online. And sometimes with stuff like word usage/grammar/etc you can't tell if it's a child or someone who doesn't speak English very well or maybe an English-speaking adult who happens to type like that. There's a lot of different people in the world.
Misogyny.
