this is not trump being oblivious, this is trump being blatantly racist

i just use a debit card lol

and when photography came around, art diversified; painters started painting fantastical stuff, stuff that a camera couldn’t take a picture of

i wonder if AI will do the same, making artists create art that AI can’t create

maybe more artists will go back to traditional art; an AI can generate a picture, a 3D model, a video, but it can’t paint, sculpt, or perform a theatrical play

honestly surprised more than half of the apps on Flathub are verified! I expected it to be less

back before the redesign, it felt like most apps had “note: this wrapper is not made by, or affiliated with the original developers” somewhere

id rather be using whatsapp, honestly

it’s not good either, obviously, but messenger still collects a buttload more data

(and iirc whatsapp encrypts both group chats and DMs, on messenger it’s only DMs)

imagine being the person forced to use FB messenger because your friends are on it and won’t bother installing anything else

i am that person 😖

not really, at the end of the day im just an asshole with an internet connection

i get that products for niche markets will be overpriced because there’s little economies of scale, i just wish the product you’d get out of it was good

the framework laptops are pretty expensive for their specs, but the specs are still good, you’ll end up with a good laptop, and it’s repairable! to many people (including me), that makes it worth the price

but when your phone that’s more expensive than Famously More Of A Luxury Fashion Statement Than Tech Device phone has midrange at best specs and a soon-to-be-obsolete cellular connection, why even bother?

of course, you can run linux on other phones too (and big thanks to all the devs that manage to make that work!)

but most linux-first phones (and tablets) are either like this, super expensive with bad specs, or devkits from Pine64

“budget phone” that’s more expensive than a new flagship iphone

and has ancient hardware

and doesn’t have 5G

i sure wonder why linux phones aren’t taking off!!!

I think people in the replies acting fake surprised are missing the point.

it is important news, because many people see LLMs as black boxes of superintelligence (almost as if that’s what they’re being marketed as!)

you and i know that’s bullshit, but the students asking chatgpt to solve their math homework instead of using wolfram alpha doesn’t.

so yes, it is important to demonstrate that this “artificial intelligence” is so much not an intelligence that it’s getting beaten by 1979 software on 1977 hardware

iirc the only non-white group who voted more for trump than harris were Latino men, but even that was by a slight margin

white men and women, meanwhile, voted overwhelmingly for trump

anything to distract from the fact that the only group who overwhelmingly support trump are whites lol

in the west too our phones spy on us but everyone knows, everyone thinks it’s bad, and yet nobody cares

oh no, you lost access to the people you were viciously exploiting because of your racism?

well boo fucking hoo

i don’t think there’s anything like that on linux sadly

personally i just use the VLC mobile app (yes, this exists!) to play my local music collection. it’s surprisingly good, and you can even send music to it from your computer to your phone wirelessly!

no you are wrong. the actual truth is that the new generation is bad and doomed, unlike my generation, which is the best one. /s

fuck humans

no, fuck colonizers

it’s a very specific group of humans who are doing this awful stuff

finally, a drive big enough to hold a 4th AAA game 😌

its surreal that we’re asked to be sympathetic towards the people exploiting immigrants and not, yknow, the immigrants themselves

i know there was a thing at the beginning of the project where they wrote a lot of the documentation with masculine pronouns (assuming the reader was male), and when they were asked to change that for gender neutral pronouns, they said no because “they don’t want politics in their project”

beyond that however, idk if they eventually changed that or if they did other bad stuff
