This is why I’ve been researching and working on FOSS AI systems. My own AI cannot fire me. ;)

Don’t worry, soon you’ll fell numb hearing informations like this, like some of us already do.

It used to affect me deeply too, until I realised people truly don’t care, especially the wealthy ones that have the means to do something about it.

I’m still doing my part trying to follow the principles I believe in, but if you asked me if I’m going to be shouting from the top of my lungs to warn people that we really are getting to the tipping point, I wouldn’t.

The tipping point (for me) was already crossed 15 years ago, and if the masses still don’t get it, then they’ll never get it.

Enjoy life for what it is, following your principles and being true to yourself, but don’t let it bring you down, unless you want to turn into a grouchy old lady, or a man, yelling at clouds.

Welp, we’re doomed then, because AI may be intelligent, but it lacks wisdom.

You can’t pay with it at the till, though.

A steam deck might be a cheaper alternative.

I would see this comment as silly, if not for the fact they changed the domain from .org to .com

It’s all about business now.

What are the implications in regards to the lifespan of the disk used as cache? Any potential downsides?

It is entirely plug and play.

AI summaries are really good. I do believe this was written by a person.

My 2009 LCD panel still works perfectly and has been repurposed as a dining room TV. While it may not excel in reproducing black levels, it continues to function just as it did when I first purchased it. I am not going to bother with OLED if it means having to replace the screen every 2-3 years.

One tragedy doesn’t justify the other tragedy, or make it less important. It’s not a competition.

Invading a sovereign nation, killing innocents, bombing schools, hospitals, residential areas, forcefully relocating people, land grabbing, spreading dehumanizing propaganda, threatening to use nukes…

It is exactly the same thing what both Hamas and Israel have been doing.

Not on active duty!

It is open source, it’s just not libre.

Fuck cancer. Best wishes to you, Mr Stallman. That is all.

Alternatively, one could also use uBlock Origin cosmetic filters;

In Q3 of 2022 alone, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, recorded a profit (not revenue!) of 13.9 billion USD. Their financial position is more than secure.

Ads have nothing to do with democracy; they are forced upon us and serve no other purpose than to manipulate you into buying a product. That’s text-book capitalism for you.

Personally, as an open-source developer, I use crowd-funding to cover the expenses for the websites and software I provide. You will find no ads or tracking on my pages, and the same can be said for the majority of open-source projects.

The problem is rarely tied to cost; usually, it’s about greed and the never-ending chase for higher profit margins.

Mind you, I’m just a single individual with a single experience, but if I can find a way to get paid for my work without forcing people to watch the visual diarrhea, so can the giants like Google.
