Its not a black or white thing. You can give users more or less control without giving them full control or no control. It still aligns with the philosophy because its giving users more control over their experience compared with other more mainstream platforms.
Oh I did not notice that was in Euro. Jesus christ
This is the normal cost of a new phone no? If I were buying an Iphone or a samsung i’d expect to pay around the same price.
In countries where the government is responsible and new data centers have to go through the regulatory consent process and address the public’s concerns around noise levels, water usage and grid prices there is still opposition from the public. I think* because of how big of an issue it is in America. America is a megaphone to a lot of the world so the issues spill over and the average person doesnt really seem to know what they’re mad about.
The UI looks generic because it follows modern design patterns. Lemmy would look Generic 10 years ago.
closed source federation is fine. Federation is sharing the content and allowing users to remain connected across platforms it has little to do with what app is being used.
people think anything more than 2cores and 2gb of ram is to much. Plus there is a lightweight 400mb matrix but its ignored.
IRC is dogshit
The point is the output. If they’re saying just give me the prompt and if I want I can run it myself. There is a meaningful difference if the output is different.
If you ran it yourself you’d get a different output.
It uses a combination of search indexes including their own.
When was apple ever does more cost less. It was always does less costs more. Up until their M1 series release where they actually started having decent hardware. Even then though im still pretty sure they only won in perf per watt and still lost in perf per dollar.
People dont need to ask. The shop can add them and compare what people choose and determine that way. Its obvious people prefer these even though they are actually less efficient.
Why is humans losing jobs dumb? I didnt say losing jobs was dumb i said your point about this being applied broadly and eliminating jobs was done. The reason its dumb is because everything a lot of the things we make as humans eliminates jobs and still there is so much work to be done. We are no where near a point where we’ve eliminated a significant portion of the jobs. Your logic is that we shouldnt be going forward with a lot of improvements because they eliminate jobs but thats a terrible point. Your point had no nuance and it was brain rotten.
That’s like saying plastic pollution doesn’t matter because climate change is a bigger issue.
yes its stupid thats why I wouldnt say that. But its the comparison you wanted to draw so we must address that phones do not create much waste in the grand scheme. They arent filling up landfills, generating a ton of emissions or byproducts. They are small and built with small amounts of rare materials as far as complex tech go they arent driving a huge amount of impact. 62 million tons of ewaste is nothing thats the entire world’s ewaste. for comparison the US generates 265 million tons of waste alone per year and the world generates 2.2 billion tons.
If you want to compare it with environmental impact then its such a small issue its not worth discussing. We should be discussing farming, steel, power gen, etc. A phone lasting 5-7 years or lasting 10 is so minor in the zoomed out perspective.
the point of tech is to free people from needing to toil at bullshit jobs so they can pursue their actual passions.
Its not. Tech can be pointless, it can be to free up labor to pursue more furfiling work, it can be for captial owners to reduce labor, it can be just to do something more accurately. The point of technology is whatever humans are trying to achieve through it.
we live in capitalism that insists people must toil to “earn” their right to live, which completely negates the benefits of tech that frees people from toiling, because that toil is how most people make a wage.
Fortunately we live in Captialist economies where private ownership exists and can decide how to operate their business if that means they want to have 4 checkout lanes and a self serivce section they can, if that means 8 checkout lanes they can, if that means self service only they can. Checkout operator isnt a bullshit job that people do to waste time. If you want a store you need a checkout operator or a machine that can do equivalent work. Work must be done for society to function, its not an optional thing in any economic system. Hopefully this addresses your brainrot ‘capitalism bad’ response.
Also we dont live in “captialism where people must toil to earn their right to live” if you dont work you can still live. You get food and housing and you can live, it wont be an materially rich life but there is nothing stopping you from living and you can find your own meaning without money. Also the US is the worst for this, most captialist countries you can not work and have a much better quality of life.
What do you mean the IF is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Its not doing heavy lifting. People like self checkout and if that saves the shop money thats a win/win and if it doesnt thats a win for people and a loss for the shop.
Your point about this being applied broadly and eliminating jobs is dumb. Technological advancement HAS been applied broadly and it does eliminate jobs and yet historically unemployment has been low because there is plenty of work to go around. Sure you can point to some points of high unemployment in history 10-20% but overall there has been no evidence that would suggest we should be passing on advancements to keep a job. So no self checkouts are not ‘bad for all of us’ and the rest of your rant is not worth addressing pure brainrot.
People like self checkout and if that saves the shop money thats a win/win. Not everything is an evil scheme. When competent governments are in power unemployment isnt high enough that we need to make things worse to give people jobs to do.
Big short investor who has been wrong about every prediction.
Probably cause Pylova is vibe coded slop
