If it’s not stored, not a big problem, but yea that’s useless bullshit that’s just annoying and feels like a breach in our lives

This might actually be true, I think I misremember my calculations but I know I compared it some time ago, and realized it was way cheaper at home, and comparing the prices I pay outside and those, it might very well be the case

New drivers will be new drivers regardless. It will most likely just end up as a stored car or a replaced car of another car

I mean, it put back the progress on an even more terrorist regime getting nuclear weapons
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 day ago:
Those cars are really expensive compared to entry level ones, which clearly don’t have fast charging nor big capacity
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 day ago:
Depends on the car. Waste of resources sure, but it can reduce emissions depending on the car
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 day ago:
For a lot of people it’s number 7 and I mean, that’s sad
1 is real though, and it can be a pain
There’s also the case where some areas are isolated and there’s no charger nearby and that can be a pain, and yea, that’s not a good spot to be in
Finally, if you can’t charge at home, you’re not really going to save on electricity price compared to fuel, so that’s not the best purchase, and it might be a pain to charge frequently outside if you have an cheap car that charges slowly

It’s just a simple DoB input, which can be local afaik

Unfortunately:
- outdated packages as hell
- X11 causes performance issues and low frame rate when having more than 1 monitor
- KDE is just more sexy but hey, it is what it is
- all Ubuntu based distros have problem with the new kernel and compatibility problem with virtualbox?
- outdated stuff, again
Apart from that, yea, works pretty well, I use it on my desktop

Nothing if disclosed and you’re okay with it. Else, opinions and partiality get in the way of truth and facts
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
I’m sorry but why the absolute flaming fuck does everyone assume that programming is the only job in the universe?
I’m just giving examples I relate to, and describe my use of it
Firstly because it isn’t, it’s good damn awful. Secondly because I’m not a programmer, so I don’t care.
That explains why you think it’s awful at it then. You just believe the haters because you have confirmation bias. Fact is companies and people wouldn’t use it to code if it wasn’t good at that
It’s perfect for summaries, known general knowledge, correcting text, roleplay…
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
Sure
And at least they’re not owned by a transphobic moron, but that’s how things are
I don’t use it much either, but mainly cuz there’s no one to speak to
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
And roleplay, and correcting text, and finding ideas, and explaining school stuff, and finding potential bugs…
Strongly disagree with you
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
Hi :)
I’ve been much more inactive than before as well
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
I switch away from DDG to brave because it had better search results and its AI summary was here first (iirc) and worked well
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
How dare them charge money instead of selling data or ads!?
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
Maybe if you close it one time it doesn’t reopen?
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
Like, I don’t think planting any number of trees is going to offset the damage AI has done and will do to the planet.
That’s true for pretty much everything, so not a real argument
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
Nah, the privacy people are way more against AI that most people, I assure you
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
It IS an impressive tech
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
Prompt or model issue my dude
Or you’re one of the few who have a pretty niche job

Tell me you don’t know shit about LLMs without telling me so:
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
Most objective article (sarcasm)
In fact it has a whole-ass “AI” chatbot product, Duck.ai, which is bundled in with DuckDuckGo’s privacy VPN for $10 a month
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 4 weeks ago:
Most people wanting AI probably don’t use DDG though. Else they would use Brave Search I guess
I haven’t seen the poll though

Any non centralized platform would probably fall under the amount of users, unless they have some special funding
Also, some creators want revenue and shit… and decentralized platforms don’t allow creators to earn money

That’s the real reason I’m on TikTok… but I’m fine with that

Plus algorithms suck there.
