Since “AI” doesn’t actually exist yet and what we do have is sucking up all the power and water while accelerating climate change. Add in studies showing regular usage of LLM’s is reducing peoples critical thinking I don’t see much “fear mongering”. I see actual reasonable issues being raised.

Does this mean I will have to scroll even more if I want to go to a specific channel I am subscribed to? All i want on the left is History and the list of channels I am subscribed to.

But at what point can we agree that it didn’t?

When it isn’t killing the planet. When it isn’t straining the power grid making power for homes unreliable. When isn’t costing people jobs. When it doesn’t hallucinate. When it isn’t making people dumber.

I have never had this problem but if people are getting tricked/forced into higher tier plans then they need to be investigated.

Once or twice a month I will get a popup when I open Spotify to upgrade to duo plan but I just tap the “X” and move on.

Remember the “white genocide in South Africa” nonsense? That kind of rewriting of history.

Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.

This bit stood out to me. Israel has been planning this war since at least November of last year. Israel’s current actions say this wasn’t a simple “what if…” contingency plan that a government comes up with. This was a plan they were going to put into action soon. Makes it even more disgusting to me.

Newly discovered it appears.

I love Dearrow so much. Makes using YT so much better.

Notepad++ and Gimp will do me just fine.

I kind of like the utter insanity that seems to be their norm. Not going to buy anything from them but still.

Maybe check out this video?

He goes over the different ways to run a selfhost AI without a GPU, like you want to do, including maxing RAM and using PCI-e M.2 add-on boards.

I still recall “Eye of the World” as the hardest to read book I’ve ever read. I don’t regret it but it greatly reduces my desire to reread the series.

No thanks.

That is a great quality of life change.

Very nice! Doesn’t really go with my current nature theme but very tempting.

Definitely understand. I’m not in the Apple environment other than my SO who has a Mac and an iPhone.

When its cold outside. Touch sensitive gloves just never work right or well.

TL;DR Don’t bother. The only reason to stick with Samsung was the smart stylus and they killed it in favor of bad AI.

Personally I’m now thinking Pixel plus GrapheneOS after a decade of Samsung loyalty due to the stylus.

Trying really hard to feel something other then …meh fuck 'em.

Things can be cool and unnecessary at the same time. Can some people list reasonable use cases for a bi/trifold phone? I am sure they can but 99% of people absolutely don’t need a bi/trifold phone to browse social media or the internet, make calls, send text messages etc.

On top of this these folding phones still are not coming with the features that I really want: micro SD card, rf receiver, headphone jack, a phone OS that isn’t bloated spyware, that I can drop from more than a couple feet on accident and not worry about it being a health hazard. (A good stylus is a plus.)
