  Loved that phone! I had a little gamepad for it that would click onto the keyboard. I ran emulators on it, perfect for my daily commute to uni.

  Ah OK, that might be true. Because I’m fairly certain I saw multiple users at the same time on the desktop app for an excel sheet located in SharePoint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice goes collaborative and Wasm as ZetaOffice • The Register⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, excel and ppt collab is also possible in the desktop apps.

  I’m a mechanical engineer, but what do I know. Just studied that shit for 5 years and worked as one for the past 13.

  But the again, I’m from Germany so maybe there is a language barrier between us somehow.

  We now know what you mean and you probably also know what the other person meant. All is well.

  I believe they, and pretty much everyone else here, thought you were talking about the mechanical shutter that you have to manually slide over the lens.

  Up to this day, I’ve never watched a pewdiepie video. I have no idea what he does/did. Same goes for Mr beast. I mean, I’ve heard the names, but I’m not intrigued whatsoever.

  Good question, I’ll look it up!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Computing on Pace to Consume More Energy Than India, Arm Says⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know what you mean, but it’s not really possible to manually denoise a picture the way the AI denoiser does. Let alone within 10 seconds. Plus, it’s more of a niche usage. I don’t think it consumes all that much energy.

  Generating shitty images, creating deepfakes, prompting all kinds of bullshit… now that is a waste of energy as it really just makes the world worse. AI generated articles are popping up all over the internet. They aren’t even reviewed anymore. Enshittification of the internet took some gigantic strides since the AI boom.

  Lol, Copilot is easily the dumbest AI assistant. It’s completely useless, it just spews bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Computing on Pace to Consume More Energy Than India, Arm Says⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only really useful AI thing is the denoiser in Adobe Lightroom. I can shoot pictures in pitch black darkness with the highest ISO settings. Obviously it is a grainy mess. The denoiser manages to clean that up while retaining all of the details. It’s really fucking great!

  Anything else is just novelty bullshit.

  I guess that’d work if you live in a very remote area, alone, without neighbors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m inclined to agree. While life is kinda good in Europe, it’s getting more and more difficult to lead a somewhat wealthy and happy life here. And now the fucking Nazis are on the rise again, it makes me sick. I’d absolutely prefer to live in NZ or Australia but I don’t want to tear my daughter away from her social surroundings just yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨rollin' coal⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mate, they closed the power plants because they have long surpassed their design operating hours. The upkeep alone costs so ridiculously much, no one can pay that kind of shit. Germany has even postponed the closing date due to the immediate crisis the Russians have created.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨rollin' coal⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people who are against nuclear power, have the following reasons:

  • it’s the most expensive form of energy due to massive regulations
  • the power plants take way too long to build
  • nuclear waste is a problem, no one wants to have it buried near their homes
  • the fissile material is already rare and difficult to come by, mostly sourced from politically difficult regions, such as fucking Russia

  Nuclear power is not a solution.
