Mac owners have money? more like had money

well, with 2 trolleys it is the same amount of suffering as with 1

the techbros that think that with sufficiently advanced AI we could solve climate change are so stupid. like, we might not have a perfect solution, but we have ideas on how to start to make things better (less car-centric cities, less meat and animal products, more investment in public transport and solar), and it gets absolutely ignored. why would it be different when an AI gives the solution? unless they want the “eat fat-free food and you will be thin” solution to climate change, in which we change absolutely nothing of our current situation but it is magically ecological

not OP, but according to some of those definitions (cambridge, collins, longman), NYC would be the only metropolis in the US, as it is the US’ largest, busiest, and most important city.

Well, he had a brainworm. Fortunately for him, the worm starved to death before it could make much damage

legit, if youtube ever beats ublock origin, i’ll just stop watching youtube

yeah, there is no way the measurement instrument was precise enough to make that last decimal significant

Reddit would probably ban “paywall evasion” subreddits. They have shown that they have no problem shitting on their more loyal users with the while taking control of subreddits that were protesting

I swear that the only job that can be replaced with an LLM is CEO. The output will be equally shitty, but it would cost a lot less…

They will try to sell it to you as a way to detect any possible health issues early. But it will just be used to analyze you food patterns to shove mcdonalds ads

I think that the dot com bubble is the closest, honestly. There can be some kind of useful products (mostly dealing with how we interact with a system, not actually trying to use AI to magically solve a problem; it is shit at that), but the hype is way too large

also, if a game relies in a complex physics engine, the physics simulations has to be done with a stable interval and FPS, which means it had to be decoupled from the rendering (which was not stable and depends on what you are drawing)

at first i though this was talking about the Puppy Bowl that is broadcasted before the superb owl, and yes, it is something that everyone should watch

it doesn’t seem to be that uncommon to have some ancestry that was part of royalty: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59041055

Many of us will have shared ancestors. And if someone has ancestry in Britain going back to the Middle Ages, Prof King says it’s actually more likely than not they will be related to a branch of one of the royals.

it is not about the money. i refuse to watch youtube while logged in, because google is a company that doesn’t respect people’s privacy

The diet that we evolved to consume (fruits, lean meats and fibrous plants) was much less damaging to our teeth than the current high-sugar, high-fat, highly processed foods. And human lifespans was shorter, so less time for teeth to damage. So there wasn’t a strong evolutionary need to regenerate them (unlike an animal like sharks)

yeah, regardless of the actual intent of ancient Babilonians, thinking that an ancient drawing represents a mythological encounter between giants and humans is definitely a valid idea. it might be incorrect, i don’t know enough about babilonian mythology, but it is not an insane take

i used fdroid when i used Android, but now i feel like it is a false sense of security. like, yeah, the apps themselves might not have telemetry, but the whole OS itself is a giant spyware made by the largest ad company in the world, so unless you are using a rooted, custom rom that has taken all the google apis out of the way, i still feel that my data is safer in ios than android with fdroid. the only real way to have data fully safe is too minimize the use of apps completely thou

i would use apps from an ios version of fdriod, if i had the chance, thou, so i think your point is valid

It’s interesting, because for my iPhone that is true. I was a bit concerned with the walled garden, but made the switch from Android because of privacy (not that Apple is perfect, just much better than Google). I can’t recall a single time when i wanted or needed more than what the iPhone offered.

But with my iPad there are multiple times when i wished i could run a local web dev environment, or run MacOS apps (it is using the save M1 as my computer after all)

“some people must enjoy worrying about their health” (as an insult) and “i drank from someone else’s water, i felt poisoned for day”
