People like this surely already have issues, but AI seems to make it much worse. Also, I think this affects many of us in a similar but milder way. I would lie if I said chatgpt has never made me feel like a genius.

fairphone is definitely better than samsung etc. I’m just being excessively negative like a good Lemmy user 🫡

Mostly the FairbudsXL which are basically a scam, as the parts fail chronically but fairphone has abandoned the product and the firmware. I have bought the same replacement part 4 times. Also much of the product is proprietary and they don’t allow you to run your own software on them.

The fairphone itself is not awful and I’m still using my fairphone 4, but I increasingly get the idea that they are increasingly abandoning their values in favor of profits.

I posted a rant here. Looking back, I was a little to worked up and excessively negative, so take with a grain of salt.

As a side note, I’ve grown increasingly disappointed with fairphone. I recebtly switched to shiftphone, which also supports degoogled ROMs, and offers the same repairability. I think shift is much more aligned with the values fairphone claims to represent.

uhhh people still be using torrents for movies and shows

I didn’t downvote, but personally I’m upset that this article doesn’t give you a good alternative, only a ridiculously complex new setup that is unrealistic and impractical for most users.

I thought it’s a melange between the puzzle piece autism thing and evil hacker stock photo stereotype

Okay I was totally lost but I think I figured it out.

[email protected] posted on the lemmy.world support forum. Somewhere deep in a thread involving a db0 user, [email protected] posts a screenshot supposedly from annihilation.social and also featuring users from poa.st, apparently nazi forums, where nazis are celebrating that they are successfully invading db0, and that one of them became an admin there. The link is not valid and it’s not clear if the screenshot is fake or not. The user who posted it, claims the thread got removed after a db0 admin saw it.

Basically somebody is accusing db0 of being invaded and run by nazis, posted a screenshot that can’t be verified nor disproven and now we are in conspiracy land.

It seems very far-fetched, not impossible but unless more concrete evidence emerges I’m safely putting this in the looney bin.

What does brigading mean?

To answer your second question specifically:

Are there Linux distributions that place a stronger emphasis on privacy?

Yes, luckily most distros do.

If you just want decent privacy, then honestly most of the popular distros are better than Ubuntu.

You are wrong about debt leading to inflation, that’s monetarism and has been thoroughly debunked.

Smart TVs are really just somebody else’s computer that you paid for to watch ads on.

I asked this recently and got fantastic replies:

I went with the super budget option and got the Nubwo (G06 I think?). I’m very very happy for the price I paid. Arctis Nova Pro Wireless appears to be the other end of the quality/price spectrum.

what about stoat?

so this is a tailscale alternative, right?

When I’m in a “make game unattractive to buyers before it comes out” competition and my opponent is Krafton

help what is a Nat or a peano

I didn’t even know that’s a thing! Looks like it’s somewhat new. What a time to be alive!

forgejo supports woodpecker CI I thought?
