You’re mistaking the bubble for the technology itself. AI can be and is used to good things, but the bubble is about the bad stuff. The whole idea of a bubble like this is that we over inflated something too quickly and too much to a point where it isn’t a good stable growth and the only way to stop that is for the bubble to burst. In modern-ish society there just won’t be a letting out of “air” to stabilise the bubble, there won’t even be a slowing of filling it until it bursts. When everything is about infinite growth and something new comes along we’ll always jump on that pump and fill the bubble as rapidly as we can and completely ignore any long term plan and consequences, because money and power.

TIL swingeing is a word, and with a very separate meaning from swinging. It just looks weird and feels like swinging should be the actual correct one but that spelling seems to be pretty specifically for the polygamous sex stuff.

It’s really fucking not hard to learn the correct usage. You’re: you are, your: something belonging to or being part of you. You’re isn’t a word, it’s a contraction of two words. It’s so fucking simple to understand when to use any contraction or similar sounding word that there is never an excuse to get it wrong. It’s also mostly native English speakers who get it wrong and part of that is the American educational system being one kf the worst in the world.

Adguard on iPhone does that, as with android it sets up as a VPN and blocks adds in all apps.

Aah, the mass delete of comments by the person who made them only makes it even more sweet. You can’t handle being wrong so instead of sticking by what you say (which is dumb in itself) you delete the comments because you’re downvoted and that you are objectively wrong. You seriously only put another nail in the coffin by removing the comments.
Absolutely hilarious!

It’s funny seeing all this landlord hate as someone who lives in a country where it’s rare with shitty landlords. We don’t really have “landlords” like you do, it’s mostly a few big real estate companies who own the vast majority of apartments and are actually good as they compete. I’ve lived in this apartment for 10 years and my rent has increased by 8% but now water and electricity is included, and they have completely renovated the house with lots of nice new things and tech, never denied requests for repairs and have very good communication with us. They’re added solar cells to the roof, a big information screen in the entry with real time arrivals for trams and busses at nearby stops, chilled delivery boxes so when we order grocery bags we don’t need to be home when they’re delivered, we have 5 laundry rooms; one on each of the 4 floors and a bigger one on the ground floor, all with 2 big washing machines, dryers, drying cabinets and drying rooms and they’ve added filter that filter out microplastics etc., they’ve added a big bike storage room with tools, pumps and lockers with chargers for e-bikes, mailboxes that send a text when we get mail, a common room with a kitchen, sofas, tv that anyone can book (for free) and the “landlord” hosts a fika there every week with pastries where we can give feedback and make requests, and sometimes other events there too, and there are three elevators (to small, one big) and a trash room with recycling in the building. My apartment is one bedroom with full size kitchen, 31m², and ~$540 a month. I’ve gotten new appliances, renovated bathroom and other things since I moved in. And they used some of the material from the renovation to make artworks on two of the building faces, a big hanging lamp in the middle of the spiral staircase and furniture for the lobby and yard. There’s also so many nice plants both along the outer walls and in the yard, some with edible fruits and/or flowers.

I really think Ubuntu is the most common first distro people try. A common reoccurrence here is the inability to see what an average person, in terms of tech literacy, knows and are willing to put time and effort into. Ubuntu has been the face of Linux for a long time (obviously not based on people who know and use linux). I wish Mint took that place as it’s so much better.

The American defaultism is so fucking tiring, it’s such a constant “here’s this thing that’s only a thing in the US but it’s written like it’s global”. There needs to be a rule of at least having (US) in the title for posts that use whatever title they link to.

Highly recommend the TV series.

That’s great, gonna have to print it out on stickers and place them around town.

This has to be a bad troll comment. It’s like saying “This is pizza, you can’t talk about anything other than Italy when eating it”.

How are you this dumb?

This is the song of the world, a ton of angry voices but then the vast majority of them still buy (in both meanings) the thing. People want to be mad but never inconvenienced. They’ll spend so many hours being angry both internally and externally but then still use their vote, be it a political or wallet one, for that specific thing they’re angry about. “I’m mad this costs so much, that it’s so bad, that it doesn’t align with my views but there’s no way in hell I’ll miss out on it”.

Fucking cowards.

And sadly, as we’re constantly reminded of, people that have money to spend aren’t intelligent in general. It’s narcissim, sociopathy and hoarding mentality that is behind most people who have money, and those same things is what would make someone want to use tech like this.

What having an incurable competitionist mentality does to a MF. I can’t stop myself from needing to 100% any game I play, and so many have at least a few things that are just too grindy or boring to complete so it ends like this instead.

While I agree for the most part, pricing is absolutely an issue too (an ever increasing one). I and so many others in a similar situation have a lot of time but not a lot of money, it doesn’t matter if a game has 2000+ hours of playtime, we just can’t afford $70+ as a once time purchase.

Uber-heathest here, you are all unimportant in comparison.
