Dude, that’s not how it works at all!
Stock price is a popularity contest that has virtually no basis on the finances of a company.

See Tesla’s crazy high price that has no basis on their current or future revenue. But if their stock dropped to 0, they would still be selling cars at a profit and wouldn’t go out of business. It wouldn’t change anything.

Companies get money from stock at IPO and when they extremely rarely issue new shares. That’s it. After IPO, you buying stock doesn’t give any money to the company. You are buying it from someone else.

It bothers me to a minor extent to technically contribute to some of these companies.

Outside of large shareholders like how Musk owns Tesla and sells his stock to fund fascism, buying stock does nothing for companies, ethical or not.

If you buy shares of an ethical green company, none of that money goes to the company. You bought the shares from someone else. It’s like buying a used book of Harry Potter. Absolutely no money goes to JK Rowling.

Money sitting in a bank is being used by the bank to invest in unethical businesses.

I’d suggest to not worry and put almost all of it in vanguard total market index fund (as long as you don’t need the money for 20 years). Use the profits to help people.

This is the correct answer. It’s the power company’s problem. Weird accidents can happen.

I don’t understand the wild eyed hate for a spell checker on steroids. LLMs predict the next word like the phone keyboard you use every day.

Hate the hype, not the tool.

The sole purpose of all tools ever created is to lower the value of human skills.

LLM’s are hyped but have some value as a tool.

I think the same theory works for everything- including generic replies to comments on Lemmy.

You don’t use search? Like you don’t use duckduckgo or anything?

You want those younglings to be defenseless against the Jedi that kill them with their laser sword?

“A traditional Google search is still best for the simple act of looking for things to do nearby, but AI Mode could prove to be a nifty tool for more tedious tasks like product research for online shopping — an instant chart comparing baby car seats is helpful, even if imperfect. Just always check the answers.”

Exactly my experience. I don’t understand people who go to chatgpt first.

Yeah. It can be set on or off as default when CC is activated.

You absolutely can judge your own behavior when you are impaired

By the time you realized it you were already impaired. That’s why professional drivers have a schedule. It’s not up to them to decide for themselves that they could go longer.

I have a Toyota with lane assist and it doesn’t. The “lane assist” is part of cruise control. It’s off by default.

I love it because it removes a little of the mental load giving me more time to scan the road for potential problems.

Off by default should be the default.

That’s easier said than done. You can’t judge your own behavior when impaired because you are impaired. By the time you are aware you are that tired, you’ve already been impaired for a long time.

The entire MacOS including finder and the tools was 216KB on the 400KB floppy.

The original Macintosh had 128k of ram.

I got to where it expected me to partition the drive manually and noped out. I was doing that in the 90’s when I compiled my own kernel. Ain’t nobody got time for that today.

Did his henchmen? I didn’t get that vibe.

The henchmen were right in the middle of the flood and continued to fight Batman. Ironman 3 was more realistic when a goon dropped their weapon and said they didn’t even like the job.

Yes I agree with your analysis. His methods were bad which was the dichotomy between Batman and Riddler. Neither we’re doing the boring work of philanthropy or social work because it’s a super hero movie. But I disagree that Riddler was so different from Batman from the very start. Riddler and his followers weren’t portrayed as suicidal maniacs bent on mass murder until the very end when Riddler floods the city. Instead the first half was Riddler kills bad guys and Batman doesn’t. It didn’t need the Hollywood disaster ending.

tbh it’s really not worth all the hype unless you want to take the 100-300 hours to set it up properly and ensure all the boxart is there.

So Rocknix isn’t as developed like Emuelec and all the other Linux gaming front ends? Because fixing boxart was one of the huge hassles on the Retroid 3+. The Retroid front end got 90% of the art but fixing that last 10% took hours. In comparison my Anbernic and Miyoo Mini were perfect. And customizing it was trivial because I could stick the SD card in my PC and move the files around. The Retroid front end didn’t let you do that. The other hassle was some of the emulators on the Retroid had their own menus so entering and exiting games wasn’t a single button push like Linux emulators.
