  This is literally not a problem with smartphones, the problem is about the software you decide to run on it. A smartphone is simply a very powerful pocket computer.

  But don’t we expect different Ralphs to exist in each of our minds and memories? My Ralph will probably have ceased to exist by tomorrow.

  Sure champ, you are the smartest person in the world. So now you can shut up and go to bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Boring

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Mirror AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t be too happy. For every such attempt there are countless highly technical papers on how to filter out the poisoning, and they are very effective. As the other commenter said, this is an arms race.

  I agree with you. Regardless of the state of the world, we should stay optimistic and work toward that goal, instead of surrendering to defeatism.

  And you are stupid for not acknowledging that people from other countries are not just useless consumers without any agency. Americans and Europeans have industry too, and very productive ones. The narrative that you can trace any product back to China is entirely wrong and reeks of tankie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teslas have been consuming a lot of gasoline lately.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What an infinitely stupid response. The proportion of rich people owning a Tesla with respect to all Tesla owners is vanishingly small. When you burn a Tesla of an uninvolved person, you are costing them tens of thousands of currency and are probably destroying their only car.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Had to experience that first hand. I tried to get my best friends to register on my Matrix server last September and join a room for our group, and they did, but I rarely see any of them online and I only get responses days later, if at all. One even stopped using it entirely, lol. Ah well, but at least I got a Matrix server out of that that I can use to federate with other like-minded people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨deez moth balls⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Weirdly militant “meme”. The people that write these are some of the most annoying on the planet, and contribute nothing to actually solving problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The borders are just WIDE OPEN though!!11!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Please keep in mind that despite being downvoted, you are not alone with your opinion. I for my part find your argument very compelling. So please don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by the echo chamber!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regardless of the geometric figure you path trace, as long as your start and end points are the same, you will be considered to be going on circles.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that is what ∮ means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It just isn’t possible, and we should want to dumb down the introduction too much. The Fediverse is not a centralised medium, and to participate in it, its users should understand that, analogous to how you would instruct people before using motor vehicles. Some things are just essential and need to be taught. Not teaching the stuff doesn’t make it disappear. If some people cannot get behind the idea, then either find novel, intuitive ways of conveying it, or just accept that they cannot be a part of the Fediverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Matrix is not proprietary. The protocol is FOSS, Synapse server is FOSS, Dendrite server is FOSS, there are FOSS clients, Element is FOSS too afaik.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That VPN provider will then know ALL the connections you make. Almost worse than just using the Internet normally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Designed this simple and easy to print cable holder⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not everything revolves around money. It is a hobby, in the first place.

  Nah 4K is wonderful. The higher the pixel density, the better the display (for me at least)
