I don’t think the focus should be on the average current Linux user. Guaranteed that if Linux gained substantial market share, the fraction of tinkerers would dwindle substantially
I’m a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.

naught101@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew InmanEnglish1·12 days agoOh yeah, I saw that a while back. Hilarious! Also kind of unusual (though lots of people have used smaller samples from toys and instruments)
naught101@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew InmanEnglish2·13 days agoAll good, was just wondering.
I do DJ (non-professionally). I generally think there are two skills with DJing:
- Taste, library management and music choice, which is not a technical skill, but does take a bit of effort in preparing for a set
- Actual technical mixing skills, which many DJs (including me) barely have, but some take to a level that is on basically a form of musicianship.
I don’t think AI can really help you do either… but I guess it could make a mixed set and you could pretend to play it, like a Casio keyboard
naught101@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew InmanEnglish8·13 days agoAre you speaking from experience? 'Cause that’s not even vaguely related to how any of the DJs I know (including a couple of professionals) got started. The prime motive for most DJs is sharing cool music, and Casio keyboards don’t do that…

I don’t believe that’s true… It currently has around 9k servers, but I think the vast majority of those will have less than 10 users.
Anyway, there’s currently about 1m active users, so the real question is will it scale by 3 orders of magnitude? And my point being that I’d expect the network to become more connected as it scales (at least for the main archipelago, which is probably always going to house a majority of users).
Is that really true though? Say we end up with 10k servers with 100-1000 users each, even if only 10% of those users have a connection to a server that no one rose on their server is connected to, that’s still a highly connected network.
Then add boosts from other servers (that incentivise cross-network follows)…
I like this take, but I wonder if there’s eventually a combinatoric problem with having hundreds of thousands of small instances, each with thousands of connection to other instances? I have no idea how that relates to the network/computational constraints…
