  my point is what we “should be” excited about is being released from monotonous work in exchange for universal basic income, so we wouldn’t feel the need to be reduced to servants. obviously that isn’t going to happen.

  the sad thing is we should be excited to replace human beings doing monotonous work but we all know how that will go with capitalists running things.

  0.2 hours to be exact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Given ample developer resources, what would a "de-ice" app do? What is possible with current tech?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  or just make it entirely web ui based. don’t even bother with app stores.

  the hardware is there regardless of trim. you are paying for the right to use the hardware already in the car you purchased.

  Lemmy has a communist bias.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk says Tesla is moving Full Self-Driving to a monthly subscription⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  the problem is it’s non-transferrable, so if you want to sell the car (or totaled it) before ~6 years you would lose money compared to paying $100/month.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never-before-seen Linux malware is “far more advanced than typical”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  you know, you’re right. it couldn’t have been china or russia since it’s far more advanced than usual.

  lemmy serves us by algorithm too.

  Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors…

  good for him i guess, but why is this news?

  …is just ‘gatekeepers’ attempting to ‘censor all of their political opponents’

  ah of course, makes sense now.

  there are less antagonistic looking wasy to mask yourself, such as cute inflatable animal suits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your technology mispredictions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that the Internet has definitely democratized information in many ways.

  unfortunately the internet democratized the creation of information, which is the problem. Now everyone and their angry uncle can say whatever they want and post it everywhere. People are not equipped to deal with that, especially with for-profit social media algorithms involved too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your technology mispredictions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s ok, i only have one pair.

  there isn’t.

  you’re missing something. been playing for a few months, only one time ran into a bugged puzzle and Sam had it corrected within a couple hours of release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moral Panic and Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban: A Critical Youth Work Perspective⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  By enforcing a blanket restriction, the policy infantilises and homogenises young people, setting a precedent for future exclusionary policies, such as raising the legal age to vote or obtain a driver’s licence.

  so? blanket restrictions on young people is already a thing for alcohol and other dangerous substances. This is not a slippery slope to voting rights or driving privileges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no, that’s not the question. you can still use windows without internet access, you just need some other device to get to the activation website. like a phone or another computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  or use your phone or any other device to get the activation key.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know lots of people - older mostly - with computers that only have internet access on their phones.

  exactly. you can use your phone to go to the windows activation site. you don’t need the PC you’re activating to have internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  this isn’t about microsoft accounts or local accounts on OC. this is just about activating the OS which you can do on a provided website (without an account).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  intel airs did have fans anyway. when they switched to apple silicon they removed the fans.

  The 12” macbook (not air or pro) was fabless but it was a severely gimped CPU and had major issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  look fuck microsoft, but - who is trying to activate windows without any internet access at all?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  and that thing was a disaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG Electronics unveils 2026 Gram Laptop line with aerospace composite - up to 50% lighter than macbooks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “built well enough to hold for years” is the bare minimum in laptop quality. sure, lots of crappy flimsy laptops will last “years” but they are still crappy flimsy laptops.

  also tons has changed in laptops over the last decade, particularly in efficiency.
