It's not bitching if it's true. Nextcloud has really poor performance alone, it tries to do to many things at once and none of it ends up being good. It was amazing for it's time and it's idea but it simply doesn't scale, not technically, not with time. They need to redo the architecture and probably move to something better performing than PHP. I never heard anyone in any environment even considering PHP as an option in 2025.

Same reason there is a sticker on car batteries that says "Not for drinking".

Agree, but then you would need to count a lot of things, and many of them would be general mass comodity like cars, electricity, heating... besides LLM's being the new thing killing us, we have stuff killing us for ages...

I guess my opinion will be hugely unpopular but it is what it is - I'd argue it's natural selection and not an issue of LLM's in general.

Healthy and (emotionally) inteligent humans don't get killed by LLM's. They know it's a tool, they know it's just software. It's not a person and it does not guarantee correctness.

Getting killed because LLM's told you so - the person was in mental distress already and ready to harm themselves. The LLM's are basically just the straw that broke the camels back. Same thing with physical danger. If you believe drinking bleach helps with back pain - there is nothing that can save you from your own stupidity.

LLM's are like a knife. It can be a tool to prepare food or it can be a weapon. It's up to the one using it.

Same way you protect anything else valuable in your house - by locking the door and potentially installing (selfhosting) security cameras. I'd completely disagree that a server will be a target for a common thief. What are they gonna do with that? Who is gonna buy that from them? What can they buy with that? It's useless garbage for them.

No,

because it doesn't even fit the definition of racism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

Illegal immigrants are of absolutely all sorts, so there is no single human trait that is uniquely only found in illegal migrants. Also, people don't oppose illegal migrants, they oppose illegal migration as a general thing. Illegal migrants are not the problem, they are simply the cause, and people hate the problems that arise in a society after to much illegal migration.

People need to stop calling everyone they disagree with racists, its so watered down that it completely lost any meaning and weight behind it. Didn't get up to a granny on the bus? Racist. Driving a white car? Racist. Using an iPhone? Racist.

There is a version of illegal migration that I would support and truly leave an open door for everyone: You must adopt the culture, you must learn the language, you must find a job, you won't get any welfare or housing and you can't ask for anything in our society to be "like it was at your home". And voila! Everyone welcome.

I know a different guy from history who also has seen great potential in media for propaganda.

Just shit right under it on the floor to show your disagreement.

Everyone would need infrastructure, not only internet access, but also power, a smartphone and/or a PC. Still millions of people live in areas where they don't even have reliable electricity acces, or don't even know how to read and write. How would these people, that live of soley their land, buy a smartphone or PC and internet access and be able or know how to use it?

You first need world education, basic world infrastructure (water, electricity) before you can even dream of internet access.

Words that produce the same sounds should have same spelling. Read in past tense and red is the same sound, so why isn't past tense of read - red?

Why most 'c' in words produce 'k' sounds?

Car and kar also produce the same sounds, so why C instead of K?

I had the newest MTV Hits on a casette.

Reasons I see:

a) the generation that grew up watching LTT is now at age where they don't watch as much YT as they did before b) increasing amount of things happen which put viewers off c) consumer technology peaked and is now "boring" d) new generations don't have as much interest in technology altogether

Let's explain:

a + c) people watching LTT years ago were living in an exiting tech era where it boomed and you had mayor leaps in tech basically on a yearly basis. Moving from floppy disks to CD's to USB sticks. CRT to LCD displays. 16-bit to 32-bit color. Solitare and Minesweeper to Call of Duty 4 and Need for Speed. Symbian and Blackberry to Android and iOS. Tons of manufacturers, tons of competition, tons of new and exctiting stuff.

Let's observe the state today: iPhone looks the same for the past half decade. Android is basically just Google and Samsung. Storage is now all in cloud. New games are recycled and upscaled old games. Every new generation of hardware is same thing just 10% better/faster. New OS releases are just refinements without new features. Most changes are done just for the sake of change. Existing hardware can basically be enough for 5+ years. What is LTT realistically supposed to talk about that is interesting? There is simply no more interesting tech.

This ties in into d) - tech peaked, new generations "just use it as it is", there is no need to tinker with it, prebuilt PC's are more than fine for years to come. Since AI the IT job landscape seems to be in decline, both in demand and in pay. People do other stuff now that is more lucrative.

LTT is dependent on stuff happening so that they can make videos about it. But, stuff kinda just isn't happening. Or the stuff that happens is just not noteworthy news anymore.
