  • It’s not just superior but mostly… humane… and still much more trusted to invest your finite life time into, I believe…
    There’s love, empathy, and reason I feel…

    ...not just "shadow banned" as on Reddit...

    Though, I was already banned for utterly unexpected reasons at !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone and !privacy@lemmy.ml , and though these are still not Lemmy.World, there were at least appreciated reasons stated (in the Modlog), and not just “shadow banned” as on Reddit for utterly unknown reasons with no official responses with money sent into their Vault and Awards I do regret know being shadow-banned myself…
    No one cares who you are there and how much you’ve done for tens of years; it’s an empty void and sorrow…
    Regardless…

    Thank you, heartfelt, dear Lemmy and PieFed Developers, Artists, Community… for the ineffably magnificent Marvel… Art you do…
    Please stay safe, and I wish you success, prosperity, achievements to treasure, reach new horizons, stability… and peace…

    A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

    -–

    Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone. ~ Paul Tillich










  • Lemmy trolls…

    I’ve been into web-dev since 2007, I’ve been working with corporations who are processing high load traffic, including payment systems. I tell you that 80% of these work with PHP and have no major issues. Valve’s Steam is PHP even, and still does work, right?

    Have you even considered Laravel, and Symfony? Optimizations as OpCode and Jit?

    It all works and is stable. Not only that, but it’s easy to deploy and release since you don’t have to compile it every single time.
    Depending on the team, the code is greatly organized, syntax is featureful and allows for both static and runtime/dynamic safety.

    You, @Skullgrid@lemmy.world? You might haven’t yet worked in actual enterprise. You should get fundamental knowledge on the subject you raise your voice at.

    I am sorry, but please do invest some accountable time and actually read something about the subject, prior claiming people are idiots and don’t do their own research of almost 40 years of life.

    PHP is a perfectly capable and freaking awesome language for almost any web-dev and is lovely to work with.

    Oh! You might as well ask your “vibes” about the trends/statistics around the globe at enterprise, make some comparisons, or well some valuable research etc. if you are not capable to achieve the same manually, considering your infant attitude to complex systems.

    You do you, indeed.

    P.S. We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden “proof” no one asked for.

    I see. Thank you, and I appreciate the clarification in response!
    The dear terminology, languages, and misunderstandings… Isn’t that why art exists in the first place, indeed…
    To support the creativity mentioned:

    Obviously, there’s no creativity in AI, and especially in art.

    AI makes no art, and there’s nothing to search for in it, also considering the amount of different people works and effort meatground into digital limited/sampled quantized data. It’s noise.

    There’s no place for a machine in it, otherwise it becomes limited, lacking, and lifeless.
    Art exists for people, us the humans to communicate with each other through time and narrow channels as general languages.

    > “There are always two people in every picture…” ~ Ansel Adams

    Absolutely incomparable technologies…
    Please, at least, finally, seriously consider the terms, and technologies in question, @can@sh.itjust.works (aka. TrashCan).

    You compare a calculator-like… or a clock-like marvelous solid system without any feedback logic, with a system as unpredictable LLM with an algorithm that is designed to change the output on every iteration.

    You turn off the modular system, your reset it, and you may trust it to start over.
    LLM? LLM has its indefinitely accumulated data set initially “trained” on numerous copyrighted human work and meatground into pieces no one is responsible for.

    I am sorry, but have you seen works of Colin Benders even?
    In the former, within a modular synthetic system, you execute commands and control the electricity and logic flow manually.
    In the latter, you prompt in dear hope, and wish all Gods that token-burning input will finally produce an “output” you want.

    AI art is not art. It is a horrible void-empty bloody nonsense no one I know would like invest their finite life time into…

    Human music is art, that is supposed to support people in communication that is impossible to express in general terms. This why I listen to music in the infinitely magnificent world we appeared… I listen to people. You?

    I’m going to open a cable shop next to where this man lives…

    Holy gracious smokes… Why don’t people read… and the call people “liers”? How indifferent and echo-chambered you must be to act as these people who “heroically reveal” already known, proving that they have no idea what they are talking about?

    The “Secret Chat” encryption has been known for at least a decade and more…

    Secret chats are meant for people who want more security than the average fella. All messages in secret chats use end-to-end encryption. This means only you and the recipient can read those messages — nobody else can decipher them, including us here at Telegram. Messages cannot be forwarded from secret chats. You can also order your messages to self-destruct in a set amount of time after they have been read by the recipient. The message will then disappear from both your and your friend’s devices.

    One last difference between secret and ordinary chats in Telegram is that secret chats are not stored in our cloud. You can only access messages in a secret chat from their device of origin.

    Please… please, dear authors of these “reveals”, as @archipc@lemmy.ml… please consider you being tricked by competitors of Telegram who also “reveal” nonsense just for people like you…

    And please… check your sources… make personal researches… stop believing the first “news” you read…

    Meanwhile, please do indeed reveal some respect and self-confidence, and check:

  • Holy smokes! Now this is a pure miracle exposed! An X200 Lenovo ThinkPad! ✨

    I have Debian with AwesomeWM on non-tablet awesome ThinkPad X201 i7 620M, chassis 3249CTO, I pre-purhased in 2010, and it works as a charm with KDE Plasma latest even! <3

    Magnificent support for every single hardware module… iwlwifi for the Wi-Fi, Gobi 2000 SIM and GPS, too… Everything…

    On X200, though, I would start with a minimal latest Debian install with AwesomeWM, too, and tried benchmarking.



  • There is a moment, late at night, when the hospital is quietest. Not silent. A hospital is never silent. There is the beeping and the footsteps and the soft pneumatic sigh of a door closing on the ICU ward. But the administrative floors are dark. The compliance department is dark. The revenue cycle office is dark. The spreadsheets are still running on servers in a windowless room on the second sublevel, but no one is watching them. The spreadsheets do not need to be watched. They do what spreadsheets do.

    I go home. I have a home in a neighborhood where the ambulances do not come often. I have a personal laptop. Sometimes, late, I open it. Not for work. For something else.

    The CMS price transparency portal is public. Anyone can search it. I searched it once. I typed in my own hospital. I typed in a procedure I had last year — a routine thing, nothing serious, the kind of thing a man my age gets checked. I found the chargemaster price. I found the negotiated price my executive plan paid. I found the cash-pay price.

    The cash-pay price was eleven times what my plan paid. For the same room. The same machine. The same technician who called me “sir” because she had seen my badge and knew my title.

    I closed the laptop. I did not search again.
