More necessary than that, really.

don't run untrusted scripts from the internet on your computer.

Coke even re-branded its operations in nazi germany as “fanta”, to be able to continue making a profit during the war.

...there's no end to the depravity when there's a buck to be made, huh?

CEO Sam Altman warns that the rollout presents unpredictable risks.

But that doesn't prevent his profit motive from consuming untold amounts of electricity to shove this into your face. They know what they're doing. They know their product is used primarily to generate spam, and secondarily is designed to form addictive faux-relationships with their users.

Burn in hell. Actually, given the direction this is all going, we will all be burning in hell within generations.

The macbook pro is the perfect laptop except for the Linux hill that I must die on. Every time I look at other offerings, they all fail just like Nate is saying in some regard. Screen. Speakers. Keyboard. Touchpad. Thermals. Battery life. The MBP is truly best-in-class hardware. But I just want to use Linux...

The supposedly most moral army in the world, people.

"Holy smokes!" -- in response to something not that interesting occurring

I’ve never played it because it just seems like Harvest Moon, which I played as a kid. Sure, maybe it’s refined the concept, but I already married my harvest boo when I was 12 years old. How could I dare to be unfaithful to her?

You’re spending a lot of effort complaining about your working conditions and then you see other people complain about their working conditions and your response is to get mad at THEM instead of the capitalist system and exploiting class that keeps them and you perilously employed and in your case seemingly while you’re sacrificing your body.

Pick the right targets for your invective. Instagram uploaders aren’t making your life worse.

I'm extremely excited to announce that huge companies never lie, especially when they self-publish these kinds of reports. Therefore, I trust this primary source fully.

edit: I don't want to be misconstrued. I am not saying that their environmental report is a total lie or distortion of the truth, either. I'm saying you cannot over-rely on primary sources when reporting on them.

it doesn't even matter. he already voted for the bill. he can say or do whatever the else he wants, because he voted for the bill. you can't apologize for it.

Your last paragraph implies that I'm naive for believing that complaining about it will make it go away, but I've done no such thing.

the market will sort that out

This is the naive statement.

I'm overtly anti-llm. I don't think it's dramatic at all to be so.

Enough has come out about how much power and water datacenters used to train and run it consume, people being driven insane by it, investors hoping to displace jobs with it, how over reliance on it diminishes your mental faculties, people from minors to adults using it to create deepfake porn of minors (literally it's on lemmy rn https://lemmy.ml/post/32581009), its use in overt misinformation (particularly from our modern warzones and disaster areas), overt theft of writing and artistry to train these things, and last but not least: limitless spam.

I'm affected by most of those things indirectly, but the spam affects me daily. Can't search for something on the net anymore without being served f-tier LLM-produced garbage.

So what are the good parts? Doesn't seem like they outweigh these bad parts, whatever they are.

It's working well to kill the one planet we have to live on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mauna_Loa_CO2_monthly_mean_concentration.svg

What is S.E class?

No kidding on the ads. I shared this experience not long ago.

And the tragic thing is there was another news site that I did the same thing with afterwards, and it was literally 2.5x worse than what I documented with The Nation.

I remember the wonderful feeling when Discord had a redesign in like 2017 or 2018 where they undid that awful gray-on-white design trend and made the text actually have contrast. These days the annoying trendy design thing is articles/blogs with extremely narrow width.

    
no i do not want to read paragraphs
that are this wide. this is making it
way more annoying to read. please
stop doing this.

  

at least Firefox has Reader Mode.

oh don’t worry, the future will be worse. My prediction: full hardware attestation DRM linked to your personal information.

Could it be an extension causing a stability problem?
