Journalism’s not dead. The fact of the matter is that people don’t want to read journalism, they want propaganda and tabloid; if this wasn’t true ProPublica would have the readership that the Sun does.

Yup, AGI is terrifying; luckily it’s a few centuries off. The parlor-trick text predictor we have now is just bad for the environment and the economy.

Congratulations on mentioning a bunch of features that were baseline two decades ago.

Every Garmin has a full suite of health and exercise tracking. Smart functionality like tap to pay, messaging, app API integrations for using your watch and not your phone, integration with Garmin’s entire line of outdoor smart equipment and sport-specific tools.

They’re not comprable. If you just want a Pebble 2.0 and don’t take care of your body, go with that. If you actually live a life, Garmin’s a clearly superior choice.

Most Garmin watches do this and they offer a modern featureset.

Several dictionary words in series cannot be “easily brute forced.”

You’re out of you’re depth and saying stupid things.

Not at all. It will lead to easier to type passwords, likely. But that doesn’t mean shorter. This could easily be filled with passwords that are four words long with special characters interspersed.

I mean, yeah. Russia has been a Chinese vassal state since Covid.

Sure, but it’s an additional 70 miles. Not something that would go unnoticed.

Plenty of chemical syntheses are patented. Biological catalysts and precursors are patented every day. No one owns the rights to orbital calculations, because that would be like patenting the concept of a square root — it’s not novel or even complex within the field.

User base size dictates development resources. If you want Linux mobile to be daily driveable, you do need widespread adoption.

Look at the FUD getting voted to the top. This place is just as bad as Reddit.

Look here’s one in the wild!

Maybe some tech has increased efficiency (although, when it does that increase is more often than not temporary and short lived), but there is even more “tech” that swarms that space rent seeking any time, money, or other resource saved by that increased efficiency. After the efficiencies degrade, the tech-as-a-scam persists and you end up with less efficient systems than you started with.

For the past 20 years, tech has promised to make things more efficient while making almost everything more complicated and less meaningful. Innovation, for innovation’s sake, has eroded our craftsmanship, relationships, and ability to think critically.

I feel this in my bones.

It’s just not competitive with the quality of support on Windows. It’s bad enough, comparatively, that if you’re a heavy VR user it’s worth keeping a Windows install just for that use. There was a long post on /r/linuxgaming a few weeks back rolling up all the issues into one post, I’ll try to find it. One of the best comments in the post was by a top-ranked Beatsaber player actually; he said that latency among other things was the reason he has kept dual booting – only using Windows for VR gaming. I know that I just gave up on playing Elite: Dangerous in VR successfully because I didn’t want to fuss with dual booting.

Just social media posting your way to praxis? That’s a hell of a form of “mutual aid.”

Nope. Get fucked
