also like, you still need a fucking computer, you’re not going to cram any sort of reasonable processing onto a fucking lens.

it’d legitimately be less useful than smart glasses

the thing about this is that those places have already doomed themselves to getting fucked, it’s just a question of when. Might as well pray it comes early so it’s less of a fall.

have you looked at simplex? at a glance it seems robust and it actually works without much fiddling which is nice.

is checking the thing’s fucking spec sheet intensive research? do you get AI summaries of your own shopping list?

i have to wonder if people even research the things they buy or if they just walk into the store with 2000€ and say “give me a washing machine”, and never see the machine until the crew comes home to install it.

It’s an expensive piece of machinery that is going to be a core part of your home for like 10 years, check the manual and online reviews to make sure it doesn’t have a major flaw you’d be unhappy with, please.

i don’t get why people use web services for rss, it can be done completely clientside, that’s… kind of the whole point of rss…

huh? any serious marketplace has cheap or free basic insurance for purchases.

it’s perfectly fine at e2e encryption, especially if you’re not federating.

“Open IRC federation is basically never used anymore”

so you admit IRC isn’t federated, lmfao

you can get rid of the AI bullshit right now by installing lineageos, that’s what i did and it’s a big part of making this the best phone experience available, there’s just no bullshit and everything works

indeed, plus i run ACCA to limit the charge level to 75% during the day and between 40-60% at night.

i’m on a used pixel 6a and frankly i have no particular desire to ever get a different model. sure it’d be nice to have something newer but this works absolutely fine and i would have 0 qualms using it for the rest of my life, barring the release of phones with hologram displays or some wacky shit.

and considering that the battery health is still 99% even after at least a year of me using it, i’m looking forward to seeing just how long i can go without replacing it. it’d be quite funny to go “yeah my phone’s a legal adult”

just one more iteration, i swear it’s PHD level this time

JUST ONE MORE ITERATION PLEASE

sure, but that doesn’t affect the actual production of copper, they’ll just start recycling it when mining becomes more expensive than recycling it regardless of taxes

it’d be great if the existing government bodies that explicitly exist to help people find jobs did their own fucking jobs and didn’t just sit around jerking off to paperwork and humiliating poor people

the obvious solution to this is that you aren’t making a rational and sensible decision if it supports a shit system, as the rational decision would be to do anything that works toward dismantling or changing the system.

causing? no
hugely enabling any slight tendencies? no doubt

presumably a liability thing, don’t want to be nuked for slander

i like how you make this sound like users are the ones at fault for not liking shitty things, how about mozilla tries earning money without making the world worse?

because it’s not true, them being smug is a tiny fraction of what’s wrong with them, and pretending that it’s worth noting is disingenous.
