Windows 11: Add advertisement to the start menu, add remote Artificial intelligence to your daily live. Require new CPUs and motherboards / hardware, ignoring the market for old computers.

What will they do next?

• More advertisement.
• More features that require an always on internet connection?
• Forced restart for software updates

This is why I expect Linux share to slowly increase until the old computers die and you will not be allowed to choose to boot another operating system besides Windows on your Microsoft-Copilot+ PC that would be your only option.

use html tables with large borders … or that is how I feel the old times look

In 2020 according to statistics 82.66% of all americans lived in cities, not spread across half the state. Urban areas and country side should be developed differently of course.

All traffic gets routed through multiple peers before reaching its destination

• I wonder why the whole internet is not designed like this.
• if we designed basic protocols like TCP and UDP with user privacy (in practice hiding his IP-Adress) as the most important point we would have a more secure internet I currently think… or am I wrong here?

How are they disgusting? When I see them they look quite cute.

Can one write an android app in pure rust today? As far as I understand Java/Kotlin is still preferred there… and rust and c are only used for the operating system itself.

I wonder if the support for the arm-architecture target will improve because of this, since android devices run on that architecture. In tier 1 there is aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu ARM64 Linux … so does that mean arm support is already perfect?

But is this not an evil move to do that? force responsibility on others?

The registration process for an account is annoying: Having to look into email and having to explain how you are not a bot … I guess? Also I can not imagine this scale well, if every registration request is checked by a human. Is there no better solution?

there are multiple ways evil can behave on lemmy:

trolling

• trolling, it is annoying, if 25% of all posts are troll posts, the site can be annoying to use.
  • content voting systems can mitigate this tho, but bots will eventually find a way to game this?
• the difference between trolling and spamming (imo): trolls type in their message with a physical keyboard. Spammers use bots to automate trolling

(Bot) Spamming / automated troll farms

• spamming, creates huge load on storage capacity of the server owner, not good if you host for free
  • spam can be hard to detect in the age of chatgpt LLMs in general, because normal spam would be detected by how random it is. for example

adfjakjdfkl would be easily detected as spam

• spamming huge amounts of text is still better than spammers creating huge amounts of video and photographs
• proof of work algorithms can mitigate this issue somewhat, tho this also makes performance worse for everyone

any other thoughts on proof of work, or how evil doers can behave on social media sides?
