Yeah… idk if this all holds anymore.

We’re in the mask off era and given how little is getting done even with what we know from the trump-Epstein files, how can anyone claim a video could compromise them?

I’m trying to imagine what kind of tape could result in actual consequences but I just can’t.

I don’t understand this, who the fuck let them in?

Did they honestly just show up on a boat without any due process?

Or it could also be case of sunk cost fallacy. They have already put unimaginable amounts of money into it, backing down now would mean most if not all of that is lost.

Holy shit, I didn’t think of that angle, I think you’re probably right and that is horrifying cause I know they have no problem with letting us plebs go down with the ship and using their golden parachute.

That requires it to provide something other solutions can’t (or no longer do).

People need taxis, uber drove them out and then increased the price, so people used it and ended up paying a similar amount to old taxis (maybe a little more).

People don’t need AI, if chatGPT stops working, you can just use a search engine again. Sure you might not be used to it and feel dependant on the chatbot, but if it’s free compared to a big price tag, the path of least resistance would be to use the cheap solution.

The only way is that if your brain dead enough and rich enough to pay high prices, but these robber barons are ensuring people don’t have much cash.

While I agree with you, is there anyway to know how much an average prompt (let’s say a coding question that used to be a quick google search) costs?

I really want to ask people, would you pay X per prompt?

Cause most people “love” AI cause it costs very little

But critics worry that the up-front costs to develop AI have become so mammoth that the investment can possibly pay off only if AI reshapes life, work and the economy in a way that uncorks massive new profits for these technology firms.

So this is why I don’t think it would pay off:

Haven’t they already shoved AI in every aspect of our lives? I’ve literally seen tooth brushes with AI.

Putting aside how much normal people hate AI, if you already have integrated it everywhere, how can you grow further?

Seriously, we’ve already hit critical mass and now some people are actively avoid it, even if you force them, how would the AI revolution look any different than what we have today?

Just like with most things wrong in North America, you can be right more often than not if you just blame Reagan.

It’s the result of hyper individualism fuelled by neoliberal policies that was spearheaded by Reagan, and I probably need to mention Thatcher as well.

Remember “greed is good”? Well this is the result.

If they’re gonna do propaganda, why is it in the most pathetic way?

Shouldn’t it be a film about national pride or something like that?

Even as consumer revenue remains sizable and maintains steady year-on-year growth, it finds itself competing against segments that grow exponentially faster and earn more per unit.

So it has nothing to do with people having less money. It honestly gives me hope, things could change with a bubble burst.

Maybe more pride in home ownership?

Also, Canada has been far more left leaning than the other two, imo Canada is closer to New Zealand just harder to leave out of a world map.

Full on shoes? That’s very odd.

Why not sandals? That’s very normal and imo way more convenient

 

To add insult to injury, what they call it, Deutschland, sounds like what we should call Netherlands

 

Even though the country wasn’t so bad after Dabya, imo it’s honestly where it all went wrong in the modern era. And it all started with a corrupt person who should have stayed in the private sector.

It all came down to: there isn’t a law forbidding it so there is opportunity

 
 
 

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

Just thought more people should know about this cause… CGP Grey is awesome.

Sorry to post something that should be in the you should know community… but that’s in lemmy.world which would take this down.

Please let me know if I should post this somewhere else.

 
 

Hi,

I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.

I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.

I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.

So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).

Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

 

I’ll see myself out.

 

They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.
