Regardless of the filters used in photographs, taking over a narrative like this is one of the oldest tricks in the book. If every photo has AI in it, then everyone is already complacent and should support the rich pushing more and more AI.
Easter totally isn’t named after Ēostre, it’s the day Jesus rose from the dead.
I’m not sure what you mean RE 4g/5g. I just replaced my phone with a 5g handset and get 5g coverage with it. I had 4g with my last handset.
Are you saying the 20-40GB plans have overage charges? I’d rather be throttled if that is the case.
corporations – especially the ones run by MBA parasites
Is that not all of them right now?
Not sure, tbh. I haven’t shopped around, but because I never go over, I’m fine with it. It may not be a good deal at all but I never see the difference.
I’ve been on T-Mobile prepaid since at least 2010. I get 10GB of data off contract for $40/mo. If I use above that it gets throttled, but I never do.
My price still hasn’t gone up. I am certainly waiting for it.
I buy a new handset every few years. Most times I get one from the EU that has the bands I need for local service.
The controller, yes. The display itself, no, as far as I can tell.
That brings it outside of the reasonable range for most people, I would think.
Am I right in suggesting that e-ink displays remain artificially overpriced because of the company that ultimately owns the patent?
And the employers are actually already breaking the law for employing such people. It shouldn’t be going beyond that, and yet we never see politicians making that point, because it’s apparently a no-no to call out corporations for their actions at this point in American history.
Edit: and also, at least in the case of who I was talking about, they’d never suggest wages were too low across the board. They’re secure in their scapegoat. We aren’t really disagreeing, I don’t think, but this issue runs deeper because there are ideologies at play that do not adhere to logic.
A former friend of mine was heavy into the right wing and worked construction (surprising, I know). He was always complaining about “illegals taking jobs” and how he thought the work they did wasn’t good anyway.
One day, I asked him: why doesn’t your company stop hiring these people you hate? He said it’s because then they wouldn’t have enough people. Naturally, this is a contradiction. It didn’t matter, of course. His whole personality was built on hating these people.
I think it is that way with a lot of folks. If we penalize employers (like we should, because, you know, the law), then these people can’t hate as effectively. That means they might start voting differently.
I post this in offering to the internet gods, that this may be the first step which leads to an actually meaningful change.
I wouldn’t either. Dumb TVs are getting harder and harder to find though.
I’ve had the same early smart TV for about ten years now. The greatest thing that happened to it was the WiFi dying. I suspect I wouldn’t have it anymore if that weren’t the case.
It’s a 42" Samsung if anyone is curious, and the WiFi just… Stopped working.
Yeah. This seems a bit quick given the adoption of hardware decoders. I would have thought they would have waited a while longer before actually changing the default.
The benefits are real, though. AV1 is extremely efficient and it looks markedly better than alternatives even at lower bitrates.
In general, Parliament/Funkadelic has a ton of artists within its scope worth exploring. George Clinton is probably the most famous among them, but there’s also Eddie Hazel, Bootsy Collins, Gary Shider and his son Garrett Shider, Fred Wesley, and a lot more.
I also recently discovered a Japanese artist called Masaki Ueda who seems criminally unknown.
I have for more than a year. I’ve never had a single problem, but I’m on an all AMD system.
I’ve been impressed with Budgie, especially on older hardware, as an alternative to Gnome. Hoping things keep going well.
Computers are so fast now, we should just write everything in BASIC anyway
This. One thing Linux is about is personal freedom.
