Is it gonna be "to protect the children", "to stop criminals", or "to save the environment"? Place your bets!

This is good advice, but I really wish we lived in a world where consumers could bond together and get laws passed that make this type of crap illegal so that buying TV's (or any type of appliance for that matter) didn't involve having to do research on weird non-consumer hardware just to have a nice experience.

EDIT: some morons in my replies keep on saying shit about "voting republican" and We Do In OtHeR CoUnTRiEs. I'm not american, I don't live in america, and I cannot remember the last time I set foot in america. Shut the fuck up, nobody asked you.

Because nobody is talking about biological races when they say "race" any more? Race as a social construct exists just as much as gender. If you simply pretend that race doesn't exist, you aren't being anti-racist, you're choosing to close your eyes on the racism that's still happening.

Damn your joke is so good people are actually falling for it lol

Much like uber and netflix, all of these ai chatbots that are available for free right now will become expensive, slow, and dumb once the investor money runs out and these companies have to figure out a business model. We're in the golden age of LLMs right now, all we can do is enjoy the free service while it lasts and try not to make it too much a part of our workflow, because inevitably it will be cut off. Unless you're one of those people with a self-hosted LLM I guess.

If people suddenly have more money out of nowhere, shop owners will start raising prices to compensate. So the long-term effect is that how much goods people can afford doesn't really change, but the value of their savings keeps on dwindling. Unless there is a fault in my logic or an additional policy meant to prevent this, UBI just sounds like a way to make sure people never retire because their savings are made worthless by inflation.

Yes but what if you need to set up a computer for public use at a community center or a library or something? You shouldn't expect the visitors to know your custom config. Until there's a tiling WM that also has GUI elements that enforce the principle of discoverability, I think off-the-shelf DE's are the only viable option for this usecase.

They don't do it any more. Source: just checked.

Interesting how brave stills gets dragged through the mud for this, meanwhile firefox gets to walk free about the looking glass fiasco.

That’s what we need UBI (Universal Basic Income)

Isn't UBI just a way to accelerate inflation? How will that help anyone?

Nevermind, I think you're right. I was confused by the term "catholic hospital", but I looked it up and apparently a lot of hospitals around the world really do have a religious affiliations.

dev teams with no vision trying to support every single feature possible with no standards

It's no coincidence that C++ is the primary language used in KDE...

How come 90% of these twitter screenshots I see on lemmy are all just witty comebacks to fake opinions that nobody actually holds? This is like those "feminist gets rekt with facts and logic" compilation videos on youtube, but for liberals. Poking fun at strawmen every once in a while is entertaining, but it gets old really quickly.
