You’re focusing on their use of AI
No, I’m focusing on the hypocrisy of calling it green. A lot of other people are focusing on the AI tech though.
They’re a non-profit company that gives 100% of their profits
That’s not how non-profit profits work. 100% of the surplus might be invested in green causes but that’s after operating costs, salaries and a plethora of minor expense posts are handled using their profit/income.
It’s hardly greenwashing.
If legitimizing polluting technology by saying we’re doing such a great job at combating pollution isn’t green washing, perhaps I’ve misunderstood the term? It was certainly used against the billionaires flying to climate conferences, their argument was that they did such an important job for the environment that they should be able to fly private jets to the meetings. Others called it a green washing of their personal travel arrangements.
Your complaint just doesn’t make sense.
That’s OK, I’m not too bothered about being understood by every single person I come in contact with. Sometimes the divide between worldviews is simply too big to try to bridge.

Nonsense. I run my own home hosted Ollama AI server 24/7. But I don’t claim it to be green tech in any way. Talk about strawman, I don’t see any claims regarding the worth of AI, perhaps I missed it?
Fun fact, smaller model LLMs can run on Pi5 at not untolerable speed. Could work on solar I suppose.

I don’t want them to greenwash AI. So as long as a self-professed green company provides a claimed green AI I don’t agree with them.

I don’t accept AI implementation as a green product, and when the “green AI” they advertise is a special, low complexity opt-IN model I feel like I’m being bamboozled on two separate levels.

I’m looking forward to the Ecosia AI being implemented in Google Chrome so I can continue to boycott both companies.

Sorry, I don’t go to feddit.org due to their censorship of Israel-critical posts. Due to moral reasons I cannot accept (though I understand) this despite being a legal requirement.

If your argument is that the way the boomers went about the issues only led to it being hid from them, sure - Their actions had effect.
Out of sight, out of mind. And that’s why I see no possibility of change before the boomers die out, they are willfully ignorant and the demographic majority until then.
- Comment on I'm not even ooking 2 weeks ago:
The Vietnam war was one of the first wars where unfiltered footage, pictures and reports were available to the public. So people was outraged because it was in the news. This taught the narrative sculptors that such a thing cannot happen again.
Corporate consolidation, editorial control thorough the foundations laid with Operation Mockingbird killed any chance of people being inclined to protest. Unless it’s to their benefit - Have you noticed any protests that seem inorganic, more like they’re designed and then approved by the media?
These days people are overwhelmed with information so they started narrowing down their news sources with the most obviously propagandising outlets being the first to go. Look at how the legacy media is struggling as their viewers base is slowly dying out.
So now people are free to get outraged about the truth again? No, we’re building a new, singular (albeight highly curated) source of truth.
Where people used to say “it’s true because I saw it in the news” we’re now saying “it’s true because AI said it”.

No they didn’t, they went along with the mono-media - and still do. Due to the size of the bloc nothing will improve until boomers die out and by then it will be to late to change course.

If you equate paying taxes with giving up self-preservation, I have no words. If you think being a firefighter means taking deadly chances (and with no pay mind you) at every site we have nothing to discuss.
This is one of the worst strawmen arguments I’ve seen in a while. Blocked.
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but the allow/block list in GB is for app level notifications, where does “from specific people” (indicating a sender filter) come in?
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
It’s more expensive, true: £76.
Not if you order 50 or more!
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
What do you mean, specific notifications? Like an allowlist or something? Where, in android, the companion app or GB?
I’m genuinely confused.
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
Oh, your user name. Now I get it.
Does this mean it’s basically fully supported with the core features, including hands-free? Thanks for being the type of person that adds device requests to the repo, I only browse for devices already fully supported. 😔
Is there a dedicated profile in GB or are you still spoofing the 79?
And for the most important question of then all - Does 2048 come with the standard 4x4 grid only or is there optional sizes for those long, chill games of
cookie clickermath swiper? - Comment on It's 2025, the year we decided we need a widespread slur for robots 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely, but if there was a death penalty for not doing so, I’d call it understandable not rude.
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
I was able to pair it with GadgetBridge by pretending it was a Colmi V79. Most of the functionality worked - I was able to see heart rate, steps, change some settings etc. I’ve requested GadgetBridge support which should make it possible to get notifications etc.
Proper GB support and this is seriously attractive.

YunoHost is also a good management system, though more focused on web services compared to DietPi which seems more… Everything.

Syncthing is great for syncing files and that’s about it. No groupware, sharing, off-site storage and so on. I ran Syncthing+DecSync for years for great groupware sync but it’s completely deprecated. I’m back on Nextcloud, though still use ST for syncing program files.

Have you considered NextcloudPi? Installs a full, SSL-ready (self-generated or LetsEncrypt) Nextcloud instance with a single copy-paste command in terminal/via SSH.

Should any creature sacrifice their self-preservation because someone is kind?
