In the context of this communities, you are already here, just Google “fediverse replacement for xxx”. You won’t find a fediverse version of Amazon or any data storage service, those don’t really make sense for fediration. You’ll want to talk to other communities. Or search them. This has been talked about a lot.

The, female, Queen Bee is iconic.

2 is ideal, they need a buddy! But it also keeps the hierarchy simple.

My big fear with this stuff is security. It just seems so “easy”, without knowledgeable people, for AI to write a product that functions from a user perspective but is wide open to attack.

Win XP has a 64bit edition, it was just never the default.

I’ve seen it off and on in random Lemmy and Reddit talks, along with some of the usual “best xyz” article search results, that you take with a grain of salt. Though in these days where even Lemmy has its boting I take dang near everything with a bit of salt. Lucky me that I’m a bit of a salt fiend.

Emphasis on it being conversations for true blue noobs haven’t dabbled and may not be very technical. To your point Mint and Ubuntu are right there next to it. By way of comparison I actually use Cachy and it’s not “hard” but I would not give it to my parents.

Ok, that explains the references. What’s up with the downvoting? I see the Nordic/Islandic connection, is artificial use of the character some kind of white supremacists viking dog whistle or something?

Makes sense for the reference s, thanks, what’s the subtext leading to the downvotes?

They actually come up relatively often in the true newby conversations. They put a big emphasis on making the OS feel like Windows by default to make people more comfortable as they look at switching.

Clearly something’s going on here, but I’m uninformed, would you mind doing an ELI5? I figure it all ties to the weird characters they used.

Absolutely, but it does feel like things have spiked a bit recently.

Going to circle back around on uncomputible in “our” version of reality. I mean it’s kind of lazy in its way but it seems like the possibility that the “real” universe is a fundamentally different kind of place throws out most if not all methods for “proving” it’s not. I’m not even a fan of the matrix theory but still, to acknowledge it.

This doesn’t really address the idea that our simulation is a simplified version of the “real” universe though does it?

Tend to agree, security is always the goal but if someone is in my house hacking my vacuum, I have bigger issues. The no-notice remote kill is the bigger issue to me.

Our parks, Zoo, and Science Center are all free. And the Botanical Garden is free on specific days, and the symphony and other similar orgs do at least 1 free event per year on average.

The apps 100%

Always a nice change of pace seeing terrible politicians from outside the US. Terrible for our outlook as a species, but a nice change of scenery none the less.

Left reddit during the api/apps fiasco.

Ok, per usual the actual story is slightly less ludicrous. I’m reading this as they are going to make “songs” by taking real sounds but mixing and arranging them into rhythms, the same way they do in some movies as part of an in-world lead up to a song and dance number. So it will blend in but you may notice if you look for it and it will probably impact your subconscious and mood. Which seems to be the main goal.

It’s absolutely hacking those computer, just not the site. I just don’t want to get overly excited for something that doesn’t have much meat to it.
