This is a dumb misconception. High emissions and energy consumption is when training models, not during prompts

Pussy

I never used it, but I remember reviewing the code base and it was such an empty shell of an app. Maybe I’m remembering incorrectly.

Why kind of psychos are merging with failing tests?

If that doesn’t make it more difficult to use, then enabling Proton by default doesn’t either. Most distros I’ve used require enabling multi-lib repos in the package manager just to try installing steam - you’re telling me that isn’t added difficulty?

I never got used to it. Always felt gimped using it. At least with Windows I had shortcuts and virtual desktops.

Your windows problems weren’t brand new problems and likely from there systems or integrations.

When I say there were issues with OSX, I mean brand new problems stemming from updates breaking compatibility with systems and software. Nothing like getting to work one morning and every single employee lost the ability to screen share, or suddenly the file system for your virtual machines was broken, etc.

“make it easier” meanwhile Steam is still only 32 bit

As someone who has had to use Windows, OSX and Linux as a daily driver at different points, OSX was by far the most challenging to work with. Every few months something broke. Fully on Linux now.

The only time I use Windows is for Fusion 360

I see the cheques cleared

Is one fucking punctuation mark so much to ask for?

The content is so repetitive, likely because they drive engagement by reposting content with bot accounts. I still get a major amount of news from there, I can tell it’s value is slowly fading

“Allows” is sometimes used synonymously with “Enables”

There needs to be at least some evidence that the American subsidiary of tiktok broke data privacy laws

If they did, they’d be tried under those laws, not some new legislation that allows carte blanche banning without a trial. That should tell you everything you need to know about whether there’s any proof of them breaking data privacy laws.

You act like citizens are being handed crack cocaine.

It’s just videos. If you don’t believe in people having free will to watch videos on the Internet, you don’t believe in freedom.

Okay, so shut down twitter, Facebook, Fox News, rebel News, etc. Oh, what’s that? You only want to shut down platforms that you disagree with? So “poisoning minds” was just a false projection.

Citizens should be free to choose which social media platforms there wish to use.

Companies are not free, which is why they must operate within the regulations and laws that protect consumers and the nation as a whole.

Banning TikTok only violates the freedom of citizens and does nothing to protect consumers or the nation. Your argument makes zero sense in this context.

Android will push notifications for news articles that you may be “interested” in. I think it used to be called Google Now.

Congress is concerned about theoretical propaganda, but it’s a reality in nearly every major news outlet and tech companies, but zero concern when it fits a certain narrative.

I’m Canadian - 2 weeks before the election I started getting about an article per day pushed to my Android phone, for a few days.
