When phones were still tied to a cable, people were freer.

Easy, don’t use products from companies which say user consent, but mean obligation, are the same which say “We value your privacy”, but mean “to sell it to others for our incommings”.

The decision cannot be left in the hands of elderly Trump fans, who confuse a remote control with a smartphone.

Big improvement for an BW Pong game.

Robotics today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZllfrHRc4g 🥶

Well, there are also cleaning personal working in the NASA.

As teen I fiddled to plug the Pong game in the BW TV.

Anyway, currently it’s better to avoid as much US products and change to those from the EU for obvious reasons.

Well, Immich is from the USA, there are several alternatives from the EU, currently preferable (If I block Amazon, I can’t even access the homepage of Immich)

No need of an Fakebook account that it can track you, if your family and friends have an account with your data, mail and phone in their agenda. With this also Zuckerbot know it. Apart of all (pixel)tracking API in all websites with an FB link. Because of this, I’ve blocked all FB services in Portmaster, I can’t even access it, but with it, I’m not longer exist for FB.

Use the face of Zuckerberg

I’m only an old Commonsensist

Yes, and the Miss World competition

Even with missiles there isn’t any reason to invade Greenland, apart of a NATO member, there is already an US Base there since 50 years. No, Rusia and China are not the reason, but rare earth in Greenland are, like in Venezuela the oil, not the democracy… The next is Panama and Canada in the expansions plan “to make America great again” (and the paria for the rest of the world).

Look on the map, don’t confuse a straight line distance on a sphere, the shortest distance from Greenland to Rusia go over the EU (Norway and Sweden), while in Alaska they need a simple Zodiac or even Walking in the Winter.

Greenland as strategig against Rusia and China is anyway a stupid argument, due tthat Alaska is separated by 4 km from Rusia, in cold winters you can go walking from the US to Rusia, and China has only commercial trading interests with other countries, not imperialistic ones, like this orange piece of shit.

Well, if one user ask something to a LLM, there are certainly not much sources needed, but yhere are millons of users doing it to thousends of different LLM. That need a lot of server power. Anyway, it’s not the primary problem with renevable energy sources, the risks are others, biased information, deep fake, privacy, etc., with the misuse by corporations and political collectives.

AI exist since the first Chess Bot. Naturally due to the limited HW power in these years, AI applications where very limited. It bcame presenz with the current computing capability, thousends of times more powerfull, see the differences between the PC only the last 25-30 years, nothing to do. even a current low cost smartphone is way better as an high end PC from 15 years ago. It’s currently a hype with more than 10.000 AI apps and a cpmpetition between developers and big corporations, with users which abuse it with and for crappy results without common sense, as toy instead of an tool to help in the tasks as it should be, and not for substitute the own work and research. Reason because Bandcamp ban all music made with AI, to protect the artist and their work (https://lemmy.ml/post/41786760). As Example what i mean, it is not the same to use AI to help in a task, as writing aprompt an let the AI do your work, your painting, your music, your research, to sell it as own (mostly without even contrasting it)
