  Sounds like most of Lemmy. Honestly sometimes I feel it’s worse than Reddit with the constant bashing on anything except Linux, Firefox, or - for some reason - Steam. Still glad I left Reddit though.

    I didn’t leave reddit, because O consider useful the subs O use (mostly technical stuff). And yes, you’re right about the constant bashing in anything out of the herd mentality.

    Take all that shit with a grain of salt. Such things don’t matter. Imagine getting riled up over a fucking web-browser. LOL.

      or about an operating system, LOL! oh nevermind that it’s been uploading all your personal documents and pictures to a questionable cloud storage service without your given informed consent, or that it recently started screenshotting the everydays of millions if not billions of users (among them businesses dealing with your data), to scrape together as much information as they possibly can

    I can hate on Firefox if it’ll make you feel better.

    Nuclear power seems to be one of those things that are anything but bashed here but instead gets treated with an almost worship-like reverence.

  It’s much better to be a critical thinker than mindlessly accepting whatever BS from some grifter.

    I’m gladly you’re one of the few non-brainwashed humans on the Earth. So special!

  I am biased, I am having a ton of fun with LLMs and they are helping me achieve some personal goals. Do they use energy? Sure. Will new, more powerful technologies come along later that require even greater amounts of energy? I hope so one day. We need to find cleaner more abundant energy sources.
