by using machine learning to analyze a mountain of baking data to create a neural network that does it itself.

except that neither the article nor the vendor website even come close to claiming it uses a neural network. the article even says

It’s a little less exciting than the name suggests.

all the Pizza Intelligence does is use sensors to make sure the pizza doesn’t burn. it is literally as “dumb” as the humidity sensor in a dryer.

If that’s AI, then my ten year old dryer has AI because of the sensor that tells it how much humidity is in the air so it knows when my clothes are dry.

And my washer is AI because it knows how much water to add based on how much the load weighs.

And the air bag in my car is AI because it knows when I’ve gotten in a crash.

That’s not AI. It just has sensors to tell when the pizza is done. Sounds like the author just wanted to earn some money, so they used AI as a clickbait buzzword to generate ad revenue.

Biden controlled the DoJ while the investigation was ongoing. Do you think Biden would have covered for pedophiles, if they had evidence that would incriminate?

I don’t think much of Biden, but him being sympathetic to pedophiles isn’t something I would believe, even if those pedophiles were in his party. That’s just pizzagate nonsense.

if there was anything in the epstein files that was going to hurt trump, the democrats would have already used it. all this fuss is being made over something that won’t be enough to incriminate anyone and that his supporters don’t care about even if it did.

this is hillary’s emails or the benghazi bullshit all over again. it’s pure political theater. but it’s a nice distraction from the military force he’s assembled to invade venezuela or CBP being trained to use mortars and weapons of war, or ICE getting Israeli spyware that allows them to hack any android or ios device remotely without you knowing, or any one of the other hundred things that are going on that should be alarming people.

it’s the same principal of using one lemmy/piefed mobile client over another. my comments are still going to the fediverse, but if you’re using one software, you aren’t supporting the growth of another. even if other instances can see the things I post, that’s not their growth, since at any time I can cut them off if I do not like the behavior of their users.

as for features, piefed has a few significant things that lemmy does not have. for example, problematic users have a big red or yellow warning sign next to their name everywhere they go, showing that that person has low or very low reputation. at a certain threshold that I set, I can also automatically hide downvoted posts and comments. there’s also built-in user notes, so I can tag users and have that tag display next to their name as well.

and finally, piefed has actual user/instance blocking. for example, we found out the hard way that by having .ML as an instance blocked in my personal settings, no .ML users were able to comment on my posts or reply to my comments at all, even though my instance is federated with them.

there’s also a lot more settings when it comes to communities. while it was still on lemmy, we used to have a lot of .world users downvoting every post in !libjerk@anarchist.nexus, simply because they found the content offensive and did not interact in any other way. downvotes affect discoverability in /all, so those liberals were in effect trying to censor us because they don’t like being criticized. we’ve even had to deal with people using alts as zombies for downvoting. now that we’ve moved the comm to piefed, we can restrict the people who are allowed to downvote as much as we want, so that sort of abuse is impossible now.

I moved off of lemmy because I didn’t want to use software made by a tankie, so no.

you’re right that I was wrong, fedidb shows dbzer0 as fourth, not third. but it doesn’t even show hexbear, so I completely forgot about them.

I thought anarchism

that’s because you have never read anything about anarchism and have no idea what it is. anarchism as a philosophy requires solidarity. and solidarity means a community coming together to protect itself from those bad actors who wish it harm. the freedom of association that is a core part of anarchism also means the freedom to disassociate. banning pug and goat was our community disassociating itself from someone who doesn’t wish us well and doesn’t want to be a part of us anyway. anyone who is on our matrix knows that everyone there was very supportive of the way the dbzer0 and AN admins have taken care of the situation and protected the peace of our community. nothing that has happened is at all at odds with anarchism, any more than it would be at odds with liberalism or communism.

neither pug nor goat have lost their ability to take part in fedi, an ability they have made good use of by posting constant rage posts in their own comms. a couple of sad little kings, presiding over their sad little hills.

I would recommend something a little cheaper, perhaps an ASUS laptop. They have some solid ones, and you won’t pay the premium for the Razer branding.

is “taking on admins” what we’re now calling PugJesus and (self-proclaimed member of neo-nazi forums) goat rage-posting on comms they moderate?

lol. lmao even.

teeny tiny instances

that’s third largest Lemmy instance to you. but nice try.

is this supposed to be a serious question?

My kids all use Linux, there’s not a Windows machine in the house.

There’s no such thing as overkill.

Any of the ~15 most used distros is stable when you learn how to not fuck it up.

Yeah, well if they’re new then they don’t know how to not fuck it up, now do they? Besides, in this day and age, you shouldn’t have to tip-toe around an OS to stay on its good side, it should just work.

This is a pretty clear example of YDI. The license for that keyboard is very clearly not open source.

one day you might start acting like an adult, and then you’ll finally be treated like one.

the US government doesn’t want any Palestinian to live. it’s the obvious conclusion to decades of US apathy and cooperation with the genocide that they’re finally taking the mask off and showing the world that the US was never interested in peace with anyone. they want dominance, and when they’ve finished with west asia, they’ll move on to other targets.

gestures vaguely to everything important
