  A Lemmy comment I have saved for when this is true in 5 years: The only computer you’ll be able to buy will effectively be an Alexa speaker through which you tell whichever AI service you subscribe to what you want, and it’ll sometimes get it right enough. Nothing will work properly, but soon people will forget that there once was deterministic computing, that you could own a machine that would predictably follow instructions and, if the instructions are correct, get reliable results.

  The auADHD constant thoughts that you are an idiot becuase everyone you read about is smarter than you and 7 year olds are getting masters degrees, but also feeling like everyone around you is the dumbest person you know.

  Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshiping. -Hubert Reeves

  The fucking dark patterns and lazy vibe coded bullshit permeating all the systems we use for work and play has to STOP. I am so pissed off.

  Why the fuck has it been normalized to listen to music through a shitty phone speaker ? Drives me absolutely insane. One of the many horrible things about modern society. Dont show me a fucking song you like through your phone speaker. We have had headphones and speaker systems for over a century.

  Pretty sure I looked up once that there's enough land on earth for every human adult to have 1.5 acres of liveable land (ie, not including the top of Everest etc. Pretty crazy.

  Being smart and cautious about tech and llms feels exactly how it must have felt hundreds of years ago trying to tell the people *not* to shove lead pipes in absolutely everything and maybe think about it first, while also bring laughed at that you're "stuck in the past old man!"

  @strcpy@infosec.exchange exactly why evil regimes love llms. Makes disinformation so easy. Disgusting tines we are in.

  What country would you move to from the US?

  Not enough outrage (in general...) But also for the fact that by 2027 cars will be complete rolling surveillance machines (they already are) monitoring your eyes heart rate and breath contents and sending it all to a 3rd party ai sloperator to deem if you're fit to drive. Surely nothing can go wrong here. Man, I hate this decade so much. Hard to imagine it can get worse but it will.

  @Ilixtze@lemmy.ml @FauxLiving@lemmy.world I'm sorry but you're incorrect, the very large majority of corn in the US goes to fuel ethanol to feed cars. Only a small percent goes to food, and its shit like corn syrup thats horrible for you anyway. Stop using millions of acres for corn, use some for panels and wind and let the rest return to natural prairie as it should be.

  The Grapes of Wrath vs Atlas Shrugged: Reading one of them makes you root for humanity and justice, community and improving everyone's lives. The other one makes you feel like a big important main character, that you're the only one that matters, and you deserve to own a million acres of land; the poor are poor because its their fault. It would be interesting to see a study on this.

  @scopique@gamepad.club very cool, now I need to get good at art! Haha my plan was actually to have my friend do more of the drawing part and I would handle the techy parts

  @thomholwerda@exquisite.social I wouldn't be surprised when #microslop does this though. Windows will never be going on a device I own again.

  Imagine if we did things based on if they were *good* vs if they turn a profit. To me, this is the biggest argument against non regulated capitalism. Has someone else quoted this? Not sure, I though of it today. Either way, its a good though to converse over.

  Its weird being right in the middle of the maga verse and they think you're one of them. I feel like a secret agent. I get to see how warped their perception of reality is from fox news

  The biggest thing holding back normal people from the fediverse is the issue of accounts. People dont want multiple accounts and multiple domains confuse them.

  Has anyone tried having local get together seminars for tech literacy? I really feel like my community could benefit, I don't know a single person IRL that even knows what the fediverse or open source is. Talking about it here makes no sense since we are tech literate people...its the others that make up the massive majority and leads us to where we are now, because of ignorance (willfull or unwillful)

  If you wfh, do you keep all your work things In a separate room? My temp setup for console gaming is in my office. It kind of kills the fun for me to want to game after work. I know I should keep it separate but I have too much stuff right now!
