Is this in Karlsruhe during this years pride?

Because that would be a funny coincidence, I've been there to

This seems kind of hypocritical considering you can't subscribe to their search engine without paying for their AI chatbot.

I hope they cut off all access to US-AI to foreign countries, because that would mean, I don't have to fucking deal with it anymore.

Ey, it's fine to use Windows, no need to insult Linux people though.

You can do some really cool shit with Linux, when it comes to ricing etc. You don't have to like it, but it can be a really cool hobby.

I agree in principle, but sales taxes are a bad idea, because they are regressive. That means, because poor people spend a larger proportion if their income, their income is taxed (through sales taxes) at a higher rate than the income of more wealthy people.

What would actually be a better idea is to have a higher income tax for the higher tax brackets, but also tax wealth and inheritance much more, that would be things like stocks, real estate etc, which the wealthy use to borrow against to avoid taxes (because they don't pay taxes on the borrowed money).

Then why are you complaining that there are only 930 billionaires?

Nice ;). Does that mean, I can sue them when I see a wrong answer?

No, I don't really care to be honest. They make a bajillion dollars from the other AI companies anyways. And no other GPU manufacturer in Nvidias position would have done anything different.

If you really want to change something, go the fuck outside and protest or organize, don't argue with other people what companies they buy from.

Edit: Obviously, don't protest about not having enough gaming GPUs, that would be kind of meaningless, but maybe about data centers, privacy rights, wealth inequality, facism etc.

This article is meaningless slop, why are we talking about it?

Alright, just produced a baby, will think about how to raise it right later

 

If you have any feedback, feel free to post it.

 

So currently, we have two different closed-off developer chats on Zulip and Matrix.
This means, that new devs will be confused about which channel to join and experienced devs have to actively look around in both channels for questions to answer.
This seems like a really inefficient system, so we should at least decide on one official communication channel.

The other issue with this is the closed-off nature of these real-time chat applications. Shure, anyone can join, but answers to technical questions will inevitably get burried in unstructured long chatlogs, which no new develloper will read through. That will lead to a lot of questions being asked, that were already answered previously.

If we abandoned these channels in favor of one unified piefed community (like piefed-devellopment@piefed.social) or something, we could build a good knowledge base of answered questions, that are easy to search through and look around in and will also get indexed by search engines. This will make it easier and easier for new developers to join over time, as they will be able to look through an increasingly extensive knowledge base if they have any questions and also easily find the people, that are willing to help them.

Funnily enough, Rimou has already talked about the advantages of a forum-like communication channel for open source devellopers, so i think it's time for us to apply this to our own project.
