So the pro-Biden comments are staying up? Exactly like I said ? lmao

No reason for this to have been removed

lmao get back to me when the mods on lemmy.world stop deleting every comment that is critical of Biden. STFU. There is no recourse for mods on Lemmy and they can use their powers to delete any comments they want. The only recourse you have is to find a fediverse that caters to your weakass centrist views.

This is literally the first time you have said you use maps, so yes, you are a liar? Literally?

It’s not a discussion because you’re not bringing anything to the discussion lmao

Do you? ArcGIS and navigating in the field are not the same thing. I assume you don’t, or else you wouldn’t have brought up a tangentially related skill?

You’re just saying my mind is made up because you don’t have anything to contribute to the discussion lol

Do you go outside and use the maps? And navigate in the field with a compass? I am sorry but yes, obviously using a computer program is going to be somewhat similar to playing a video game.

Making maps and using maps are not the same skills.

It’s marginal utility is not worth the energy expenditures.

as someone who grew up playing DnD and video games, and also does navigation in the outdoors for work …

these are two entirely different skill sets be fucking for real lmao

I didn’t miscomprehend, you just disagree with my reasonable assertion that AI is pointless and sucks. Hope this helps!

Scientists analyze data using statistics. I don’t see how and LLM helps with that. And it barely helps with programming, not to the extent that it is worth the impact.

Difference is that AI is absolutely pointless lmao

They’re taking about emissions, not energy use. You have a reading comprehension issue. The emissions are from the energy production. It’s logical to say that a, largely pointless, technology using high amounts of electricity cause emissions through the generation of electricity to power the pointless AI tech.

lmao calm down.

if you’re worried about planned obsolescence… buy a fair phone? or a Samsung with a replaceable battery? (they sell those) … and put an app blocker on it? tons of people hold on to their phone for more than three years. iPhone 6s kinda have a cult following at this point. the problems of screen addiction and planned obsolescence do not require a shiny new dumbphone.

it costs less than $100 to replace the battery on your phone, that is way less than a new phone. it’s way less than a used phone. take care of it, clean out the storage … you’re good.

buy a new phone if you want, if you replace your working phone with this it’s pretty shitty though, and the people I have seen with these phones usually just like … have two phones. the market for only having a dumb phone is extremely small so any company that makes these is going to inevitably end up pushing extraneous devices on people in order to turn a profit. seems like this ticks people’s boxes for “buying a new gadget” as well as “being less online”, it’s a total gimmick. I don’t think you need a whole new phone to do something an app on your existing phone can do.

I have one, it’s nice because it actually fits in my pocket and has a stable center of gravity. Every other phone I’ve had would regularly fall out of my pockets, and that’s how they would become broken or lost. I bought mine used last year, and it’s still in great condition.

You can completely block the social media apps from your phone then. Anything that encourages someone with a fully functional phone to go out and buy another one is a waste of resources.

I do like to disconnect, which is why I have the app blockers lol

How does one receive donations “from crypto”?

Why was this comment asking for clarification removed?

🤷🏻‍♂️ true but, I do like having access to social media as addictive as they are designed to be. it keeps me in touch with people, local activism, pop culture

jfc not everyone is a man

Guys just pay for a good app-blocking app. You don’t have to get an entirely new phone to do this. They work great.
