- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 6 months ago:
It’s an experimental device and by buying it you invest into r&d. It’s not meant to replace a smartphone as of now, but similar ones eventually will.
My point stands, because they are offering a completely new (but obv lacking) experience with novel design solutions. What they made is a toy, which is not really unusual for teenage engineering. But if they do as they did with other devices in the past this thing might actually rock in the future. They are not inexperienced and usually over super long support for their devices.
TE is way older than Nothing and Playdate btw…

Because, you know, technological development? Someone has to fund R&D, because it’s not cheap. And in 10 years everyone will have similar ai-enhanced devices. No one thought smartphones will make it back in the days as well. And I’m already looking forward to the time when I don’t have to look down anymore to get information and we’re beyond that time as well.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 6 months ago:
They have thought of a specific design for the device using its own interaction modality and created a product that is more than just software.
Therefore don’t get why people refer to it being just an app? Does it make it worth less, because it runs on Android? Many devices, e.g. e-readers are just Android Apps as well. If it works it works.
In this case it doesn’t, so why not focus on that?

Thanks for elaborating, I didn’t wanna go that deep :D

You’re not contributing anything by copy-pasting from ChatGPT.
I disagree, it’s the content that matters most and not the effort you put into a comment.
If you have commentary on what ChatGPT had to say, that could be different
Aight, then I’ll just tell gpt to make it sound like a reddit comment next time

As long as there is quality in the response I don’t see why you shouldn’t share it. And there was no other post summarizing it as good.

If you wanna know chatgpts answer:
Pros of Inflation:
Debt Reduction: Inflation reduces the real value of debt, making it easier for borrowers to repay loans.
Economic Stimulus: Mild inflation encourages spending and investment, stimulating economic activity.
Adjustment Mechanism: Inflation allows for flexible adjustment of nominal wages and prices, promoting market efficiency.
Monetary Policy Tool: Central banks use inflation targeting as a tool to manage economic conditions and achieve policy objectives.
Cons of Inflation:
Purchasing Power Erosion: Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money, reducing the standard of living for fixed-income individuals.
Uncertainty: High or unpredictable inflation can create uncertainty, making long-term planning difficult for businesses and individuals.
Distorted Investment: Inflation can lead to misallocation of resources and distorted investment decisions as investors chase higher returns to offset inflation.
Income Inequality: Inflation can exacerbate income inequality if certain groups are not able to keep pace with rising prices.
Potential Solutions:
Inflation Targeting: Central banks can continue to use inflation targeting as a tool but aim for moderate and stable inflation rates to avoid the negative impacts of high or unpredictable inflation.
Economic Education: Educating the public about inflation, its causes, effects, and management can help individuals and businesses make informed financial decisions.
Income Support: Implementing policies such as targeted income support or indexed benefits can help mitigate the impact of inflation on vulnerable groups.
Price Stability Measures: Governments can implement measures to promote price stability in essential goods and services, reducing the impact of inflation on basic necessities.

There is no standardized unit of account which is not loosing or gaining value over time. However there are/were systems with more stable inflation rates than ours, like the gold standard in the US.
This system encourages hoarding money, rather than spending it, which could create even bigger wealth divides and less motivation to invest in new technologies.

- Comment on YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking 7 months ago:
They do provide sth unique, because open source/privacy friendly alternatives are not supporting the same features to a full extent in one solution with a simple UX. And even Bing, as you mentioned and other competitors, fall short. I’m using Startpage (based on Google) and OSM most of the times and I’m happy with it, but sometimes I gotta check restaurant ratings or satellite view etc. Also route planning is way more convenient on gmaps even if I don’t use it. There’s probably more as well, which I’m not aware of.
Yes exactly, YouTube is the only google service I use almost everyday (besides Startpage)… but I wouldn’t know what to do without it.
Fair enough :)

That’s a stupid point to make tbh, because the most important information, knowledge and entertainment is on their platforms in a quality and quantity that is unprecedented. Meaning you can try to avoid it, but from time to time you have to use google/gmaps/yt/…
And that’s coming from me… someone who degoogled their smartphone.

The most annoying thing of the new design is the bs merch blocking a significant part of the comments section. But I hope there’s gonna be a ublock filter for this too

Most pictures are postprocessed automatically nowadays. Beauty filters, pixel binding, HDR…
Multiple layers and filters which distort ‘reality’.
And I think you are being romantic by trying to preserve a form of originality, while technology itself has never done anything else than alter our perception of the world.
There’s a good reason why many kids might have thought that grandpa’s reality looked black and white back then haha
- Comment on Breathtaking colorized video from 1896 of around the world 8 months ago:
What we are seeing is gaps filled in and made up by computers, a fiction to make us happy, no more truth than in the original.
Romantic, but lemme introduce you to smartphone photography!

It’s funny how we see totally different effects in regards to music. Spotify is so popular here that noone streams or downloads music illegally anymore.
The solution is simple. Cave to the labels in power and be ruthless to anyone else. This way you can have the whole catalogue of music in your app while surviving economically. Until… the enshitification becomes too strong again and we’ll have a piracy revival. Until… a new service pops up… etc
The circle of life under pop culture and capitalism.

Do most people who use Excel also make art with it? Because… devs also download exe files on GitHub :D
- Comment on Hey, I'm new to GitHub! 8 months ago:
It doesn’t have to be a compromise imo. Most people just need a visible download button on the front pages. Wouldn’t hurt devs at all. I mean, even devs sometimes struggle with this lol.
