“Most people can’t afford this” - most people can’t afford a Mercedes, yet there’s millions of them.

I don’t think that’s that bad, especially because the pressure drops everywhere equally. Most planes would be able to work just fine, they’d just have to fly a bit lower, if even that. Divers would get squashed though.

If we’re only talking about oxygen as in O₂, you’d probably be mostly fine. Even if we’re talking anything that contains an oxygen atom getting destroyed, something like Silicon would be so much worse - most of the Earth’s crust would just be gone. Hydrogen would probably also be fun, because it’d turn water and any organic compound into oxidizers.

For non-native speakers: “at large” means “not yet caught” from french “au large”.

Social media is a circle jerk machine: It will reinforce any sentiment to it’s absolute limit.

A sub like the one you suggested will inevitably turn into a anti-trans hate machine. No such space will exist for long on Lemmy, nor should it.

I’m sorry to see that everyone seems to assume your question is in bad faith. But considering what you’re asking for - that’s kind of understandable, isn’t it?

Me, two minutes ago. Really had to get a good stretch in to place my masterpiece.

AI has been in phones for ages. What’s new is the following:

• It has become fashionable to market things as AI
• New phones can run more AI locally now, in the past almost everything had to be sent to the cloud first
• LLMs enable much better answers if you ask a voice assistant a question, or if you want a summary of anything

If that warrants branding everything as AI I’ll leave up to you

Dumb question, why would anyone put electrical outlets in the ceiling?

I don’t think this will ever be used to recycle micro plastics. Just grinding up plastic is way more economical.
