Haven’t you heard wallstreet needs AI to be “good” or 75% of the tech companies + Nvidia take a nosedive we’ll get a another -08 recession,

You write essay with AI your learning suffers.

One of these papers that are basically “water is wet, researches discover”.

So they have to give away search data?

Is there an antitrust on android or appstore ongoing?

Imagine the possibilities for piracy and secure messaging (provided that the birds don’t snitch on you).

The question is also what would US government do. You miss the fact that windows-x86 complex is self supporting cornerstone of US soft and economic power, also spying. What will they do to prop up that monopoly?

Hey at least they are honest. 🤷‍♂️ When was the last time US military done anything defensive.

Rate of profit seems to be going to shit.

Take note that there are lobbies pushing for these. Security state, police and religious fanatics wanting morality policing, also politicians who re afraid of popular upheaval.

I’m on Lemmy, am I not?

It CAN be fixed, the question if the will is there.

While and improvement Lemmy is far from perfect. The upvote-downvote sytem of reddit alone encourages group think and self censorship. It doesn’t really help that much that we can go circlejerk in some other instance if we get hated on or banned by mods. We are still encouraged to keep in line to keep the bubble intact.

The dream was that social media would help revitalize the public sphere and support the kind of constructive political dialogue that your paper deems “vital to democratic life.” That largely hasn’t happened.

Their idea is basically that people need to be told the same things to what to believe in so that democracy can work as it’s supposed to and social media is disrupting that with all the conspiracy shit, flame wars and polarization of opinions. The issue is that this common idea is fermented by the boomer generation. They grew up in really quite anomalous post war world when there was first time in human history basically monolithic mass media that people watched it AND had high trust in AND the system provided more for the masses more than it does now. Those then lead to to high societal inclusion and high social cohesion that again fed into the prosperity. Now we have fragmented information sphere and things are shit are shit, political center is hated by most and radicalism is once again rising.

However so called democracy or collective decision making in general itself does not rely on people not believing in crazy shit, not being fed the best possible validated information, or god forbid having unorthodox ideas of their own or developing factionalism or totally different reading on reality. It helps make it smoother and avoids violence, but that “smoothness of process” that boomers have come to expect is also why society in wider terms is politically stagnant and rotting. People seem to live in different realities, because in a sense we are, because our economic realities can be so different and decoupled form the mainstream narrative. It never didn’t have to get this bad, but social media only a venting mechanism not the reason for the growing divides. The division in society and the general anguish is real IRL, it just takes forms of all kinds of irrational and counterproductive forms online. The problem isn’t really that people are factional and can’t agree with each other, it’s that nobody can no longer agree with the monolithic unpopular political center that is holding on to power for dear life.

You are still rolling the dice whenever you really need some specific specialized proprietary software. Especially if you need to get it running ASAP and without major issues. It might work out of the box with wine, or it might not. You just don’t know and that

Gaming is better, but it’s still gaming, just toys.

For maximum minimalism and terminal autism Cmus is the answer.

Or maybe ya’ll are have been so full of hubris and are now finally getting wiser with age and start to recognize that you were always shit or average at best.

Is there any actual proven point of filtering out microplastics from the body? We still don’t know if there are any serious health effects from them, there is just this they might be connected to X,Y,Z. Even then the focus really should be environmental purification and water treatment.

Google search engine has been shit for a decade or more. Wasn’t there some document that it was made so by purpose, because there was no incentive to improve it becuse there was no real competition or the competition was just a front-end to google.

North korean are forced to use a smartphone?

I call that a normal day at Google or Meta

I don’t watch star trek and I only use linux on my home server

Humble bundle made me do it!

Most of my unplayed games have at least funded wikipedia or some charity.

Why do kill switches when you can just hog all the work of maintaining some critical part of the infrastructure and make it’s functioning and maintenance so opaque and impenetrable that the employer can’t replace or fire you without their shit catching fire soon after. It doesn’t have to be malicious or illegal.

His efforts to sabotage their network began that year, and by the next year, he had planted different forms of malicious code, creating “infinite loops” that deleted coworker profile files, preventing legitimate logins and causing system crashes

I wish this guy was were actually politically motivated, but he seems to have been just really petty minded person.
