Sounds very similar to the old Soviet pacemakers with radioisotope batteries. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, records about them got lost and so a bunch of people have been buried with pretty radioactive stuff in their chest. I don't think we (as developed societies) are going to take that risk for some phone batteries...

Thank you for reading the source, the amount of FUD in this thread is crazy.

How is that relevant? Especially considering Reagan stopped the shelling of Beirut in 1982 and the Beirut barracks bombing happened in 1983?

It's not about copyright, that's a burgeois invention. It's about attribution and alienation, with AI the act of working (creating the images that feed the neural network) is completely decoupled from the product (whatever the giant heap of linear algebra cobbles together). That's the issue, not some capitalist's loss of rent-seeking opportunities.

great tech

That's not what the glassdoor.com reviews say, at least last time I checked a bunch of employees complained about a horrendously out-of-date PHP stack.

Man, I'm happy I'm not the only one who feels like this. I had such a good time in the chapotraphouse sub and never forgave reddit for banning it. None of the offspring from there could really capture what made this sub special, the hexbear thing certainly can't.

Thank you for the well thought out reply! I understand now that its not the way Lemmy devs envision this particular part of the fediverse to develop. It doesn't completely agree with what I see in the current federation landscape though: Most communities cluster around shared interest, be they language, nsfw vs non-nsfw or ideology. Following that, there is a clustering effect regarding the communities on each instance: If I find an instance with a community I care about I'm pretty likely to be interested in the other communities on there too. My guess is: A popular app will implement this feature and it will become mandatory for everyone else who wants downloads. But I get the "idiomatic" argument and understand why Jerboa devs are unlikely to want this feature.

Are you sure you're talking about the same thing as the OP? The feature request (which I wholeheartedly support) is just listing the communities of a specific instance, something that's hopefully quite forward (since you'll just have to ask an instance which communities it knows, no central directory required).
