If people give me shit about my Android phone, I point out that their phone can fold exactly once before they’ll need a new one. Android is still the only option for power users.
Well I didn’t want to have a bio, but Lemmy doesn’t let me null it out, so I guess I’ll figure out something to put here later.

This lawsuit is not going anywhere because of Section 230.
While I agree with everything you’ve said, it’s also fair to acknowledge that losing one’s job unexpectedly is a disruptive life change that not everyone is adequately prepared for financially or emotionally and we can empathize with them.
Edit, seriously what have I said here that’s downvote worthy?
Am I the only one who thinks it’s crazy that the only grounds they have are that HP didn’t disclose that their All-In-Ones won’t let you scan or fax without ink and not, you know, the fact that they do that in the first place? It should be illegal to disable critical functions of a device simply because an unrelated function is temporarily unavailable. There’s no technical reason HP is doing this other than, “fuck you, buy more ink.”
It does not matter how many people are on your instance. The only things that matter are that your instance hasn’t been defederated from other instances with communities you’d want to participate in, that it is kept up to date and online, and that your instance owner/operators stay on top of moderation. I’ve not heard of any problems along these lines with lemm.ee
I see, well I’ll gladly keep my fingerprint sensor over that unnecessary mess.
I don’t understand how Apple still has such massive foreheads and cutouts on the top of their screen. How do people know at a glance which apps have unread notifications?
If ChatGPT only costs $700k to run per day and they have a $10b war-chest, assuming there were no other overhead/development costs, OpenAI could run ChatGPT for 39 years. I’m not saying the premise of the article is flawed, but seeing as those are the only 2 relevant data points that they presented in this (honestly poorly written) article, I’m more than a little dubious.
But, as a thought experiment, let’s say there’s some truth to the claim that they’re burning through their stack of money in just one year. If things get too dire, Microsoft will just buy 51% or more of OpenAI (they’re going to be at 49% anyway after the $10b deal), take controlling interest, and figure out a way to make it profitable.
What’s most likely going to happen is OpenAI is going to continue finding ways to cut costs like caching common query responses for free users (and possibly even entire conversations, assuming they get some common follow-up responses). They’ll likely iterate on their infrastructure and cut costs for running new queries. Then they’ll charge enough for their APIs to start making a lot of money. Needless to say, I do not see OpenAI going bankrupt next year. I think they’re going to be profitable within 5-10 years. Microsoft is not dumb and they will not let OpenAI fail.
Honestly thighs, legs, and wings for me are on pretty even footing depending on what I’m doing for a meal. At places that do whole chickens and not wings specifically, I generally prefer the order I listed. But wings from places that specialize in wings are really great. Whole breasts are just undeniably over by themselves as my least favorite way to eat chicken (even though I don’t dislike them or anything, I just don’t prefer them).
Legitimately asking because I never buy breasts, are they wicked expensive right now? Breasts are the worst part of the chicken for anything other than the total amount of meat IMHO because they don’t have as much flavor and dry out really easily when they’re only slightly overcooked. My order of preference is thighs>legs>wings>breasts.
That would imply ownership and agency over the retention of our data, which federation kind of fundamentally cannot guarantee. An instance in the Fediverse can only guarantee the right to be forgotten on their own instance. I could see this becoming a big regulatory problem as the Fediverse grows. We’re already seeing regulatory issues with CSAM, for example.
I don’t know exactly what the percentage of new laptops that can use USB-C charging is, but it’s a pretty large percentage. My Lenovo Yoga came with a USB-C charger and that’s all it uses for charging. That said, I actually do agree with you that this is not really a problem for laptops and IMHO it’s often a lot easier to fix/replace a broken DC barrel type charging port than a USB port on a laptop because a DC barrel generally just has 2 relatively large solder points. I’m a lot more nervous handling my laptop with a USB-C charging cable attached than I would be with a DC barrel. However, I’m in favor of legislation that reduces the number of proprietary port standards (like Lightning).
I hate to break it to you, but we’re all presently training someone else’s shitty models for free by commenting on Lemmy. Probably multiple organizations at some point, in fact.
Eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable at picking people out of a lineup as well. But I can kind of understand how if two unreliable systems point to the same person, that could be seen as enough for an arrest. It shouldn’t have taken nearly as long for her to be cleared of any charges, however.
I literally almost never pay fees when moving Bitcoin between wallets on the Blockchain. Fees aren’t required unless you want your transaction expedited.
You bring up good points about it being potentially useful for facilitating the movement of money across borders (and potentially doing so more anonymously now) within the PayPal ecosystem with fewer fees, but it’s an unnecessary step for pretty much anything else within PayPal as far as I’m concerned. It’s also definitely a bad place to park money long term unless you like inflation eating away at your buying power.
I’m not sure what you mean about high fees with Bitcoin, though, are you talking about exchange fees from fiat to Bitcoin and vice versa? I rarely pay any fees simply moving Bitcoin around.
Oh good, another bullshit Ethereum backed token…just what the world needed.
I don’t know if that’s as big a problem as you think. Assuming they have not previously allowed special characters at the beginning of Twitter handles (I don’t know whether they had the foresight to do this), they could use a character that was disallowed previously and is a legal character in URLs and then include that special character in the URL path so that it would be twitter.com/~user/ or whatever. This would only be applicable to new official accounts and would not break URLs for existing users.
That would require Musk to either be intelligent or willing to listen to people who are and I’m unconvinced he’s either.
Tell me you’re Gen Z or Alpha without telling me you’re Gen Z or Alpha.
