Technology@lemmy.world•The Free Market Lie: Why Switzerland Has 25 Gbit Internet and America Doesn'tEnglish
3·1 month agoOh wow not going to lie I’m kind of jealous. I’d pull the trigger on 10 gbps in a heartbeat. I’m in CA and crapcast offered me overpriced 1 gbps down & 40 mbps up. Yes, you read that right, 40 mbps up in 2026. Didn’t have much of a choice so I bought it. I have my own homelab, download a lot of 4k linux isos, and completely saturate my both download & upload bandwidth around the clock

This perfectly illustrates America’s 2-tiered justice system: one for the wealthy and one for the little people. If I torrent copyrighted material, I risk fines/jail-time. If a big corporation like meta does it, then it’s allegedly “fair use”. To be clear, what OpenAI is requesting isn’t remotely close to the original intended purpose of fair use. Worst part is that small/independent creators will (if they aren’t already) be most adversely impacted by such selective application of copyright law

2·1 year agoI see this being useful for senior/assisted living care. This isn’t a job many people want to do, doesn’t pay well, and requires ungodly amounts of patience

67·1 year agoMillions of people use beautifulsoup4, but most probably don’t realize that a core library that powers it, soupsieve, is effectively maintained by one person. In the spirit of the xkcd you linked, Isaac Muse could probably use some funding















Dead on arrival. Especially so if it runs android and invasively slurps up all your personal data for “training”. Now where have we seen this before?
