So, are people picking their battles by practically bullying others into thinking they’re wrong and outdated? They could simply ignore people talking about phone jacks, but they don’t. They’re not picking battles. They’re actively fighting, and on the corps’ side.

Also, there’s always a bigger battle. If we think like this, no one will ever do anything. Corporations don’t go all in. They take things away from us one small step at a time, and people allow it, because they’re always small things, but just like boiling frogs, we will end up into a cyberpunk era.

Every time someone mentions the headphone jack, comes a legion of people defending the corporations. People will really accept anything they do and bully the ones who don’t want to submit. That’s impressive! And we’re in a place with higher-than-average corporation haters.

It’s even more impressive when we think about how Bluetooth earphone users don’t gain anything by removing the jack, neither lose anything by keeping it. It literally doesn’t affect them, but heavily affects anyone who uses wired phones or other stuff. People simply use their energy against others, in favor of corporations for absolutely no benefits for them, but simply for fucking the other people. I can’t understand this behavior.

Bring more snoots

Considering only the queries ommits all the energy used in training models, scraping and preparing data and all the indirect energy from putting a greater load in servers all around the world from scraping them all the time. oh, and all the energy in the manufacturing processes of the hardware, and from building the servers. We must consider the consumption of the industry as a whole, or we’re being biased as well.

Articles keep showing up explaining how queries aren’t so power-hungry, but the corporations keep draining more and more energy, building more and more power plants that never keep up with the demand, and so on.

The food aren’t betraying you. YOU betrayed the food when you ate only the ones bad for your health to the point that led your body to not handle it anymore, while the healthy food was at your side all the time, but was ignored

How do normal people survive?

Simple. They know a fix-it-all tech person that will help them!

I’m not even kidding, that’s how communities grew strong all over the world for millennia, and still do, on smaller scales, depending on the place. People create a network of specialists in each domain, and one calls the other when needed. Sometimes they pay for the work, sometimes they exchange favors, sometimes they just help for free. If you go to smaller neighborhoods in developing countries, you will see this in action all the time.

Part of the success of large corporations and the spread of consumerist culture comes from promoting an extremely individualistic lifestyle and destroying people’s networks and relationships.

I floss every day. Installed libreoffice just this morning.

We neurodivergents have it even harder than most people, and the “simple” things we don’t do as teenagers but are obliged to do as adults can be extremely overwhelming. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and I’m glad you managed to finish your pot lights.

Personally, I find that too many tabs ooen for a long time makes me feel uneasy and gives me some anxiety.

I’ve seen a lot of adults thinking like this, but when I ask them to list the things they do daily, Is an enormous list. People just don’t realize how exhausting it is to take care of yourself, your house, a family, your aging parents, your work, trying to still have hobbies, etc. All that while you have no one to help or take care of you.

You’re describing rugged phones

Would be a nice plot for a game

Soon there will be news about the world’s first trillionaire… and some people will even be excited about it. Sigh…

Hmm that’s really interesting. Thanks for the links.

RIP my free time…

Unfortunately, I believe we can be even more vulnerable to propaganda, if they make it directed at us, based on research…

I don’t get it either. I have a couple of friends who pay for music streaming just to listen for the SAME music over and over. They don’t even make use of those so called recommendation algorithms or so. I tried to guide them into putting the music they like into their phones for offline listening, but they ignored me. I guess some people just have some sort of love for corporations.

Here in Brazil (and problably most of the developing world as well), piracy used to be the standard way to get console games. People would buy unblocked consoles from street merchants and then buy pirated media from them, or download the games from pirate sites.

But with the newer xbox xs series, they made it so that piracy is impossible, and people got forced to buy games from microsoft. Since most people around here don’t have much money to spend, game pass became an option to have a selection of games always at disposal for a reasonable price, so it became popular. Sadly, that’s how microsoft expanded their business to the developing countries.
