when are we getting our first Omachy based distro

Oh I did not notice that was in Euro. Jesus christ

This is the normal cost of a new phone no? If I were buying an Iphone or a samsung i’d expect to pay around the same price.

In countries where the government is responsible and new data centers have to go through the regulatory consent process and address the public’s concerns around noise levels, water usage and grid prices there is still opposition from the public. I think* because of how big of an issue it is in America. America is a megaphone to a lot of the world so the issues spill over and the average person doesnt really seem to know what they’re mad about.

People dont need to ask. The shop can add them and compare what people choose and determine that way. Its obvious people prefer these even though they are actually less efficient.

Why is humans losing jobs dumb? I didnt say losing jobs was dumb i said your point about this being applied broadly and eliminating jobs was done. The reason its dumb is because everything a lot of the things we make as humans eliminates jobs and still there is so much work to be done. We are no where near a point where we’ve eliminated a significant portion of the jobs. Your logic is that we shouldnt be going forward with a lot of improvements because they eliminate jobs but thats a terrible point. Your point had no nuance and it was brain rotten.

That’s like saying plastic pollution doesn’t matter because climate change is a bigger issue.

yes its stupid thats why I wouldnt say that. But its the comparison you wanted to draw so we must address that phones do not create much waste in the grand scheme. They arent filling up landfills, generating a ton of emissions or byproducts. They are small and built with small amounts of rare materials as far as complex tech go they arent driving a huge amount of impact. 62 million tons of ewaste is nothing thats the entire world’s ewaste. for comparison the US generates 265 million tons of waste alone per year and the world generates 2.2 billion tons.

If you want to compare it with environmental impact then its such a small issue its not worth discussing. We should be discussing farming, steel, power gen, etc. A phone lasting 5-7 years or lasting 10 is so minor in the zoomed out perspective.

the point of tech is to free people from needing to toil at bullshit jobs so they can pursue their actual passions.

Its not. Tech can be pointless, it can be to free up labor to pursue more furfiling work, it can be for captial owners to reduce labor, it can be just to do something more accurately. The point of technology is whatever humans are trying to achieve through it.

we live in capitalism that insists people must toil to “earn” their right to live, which completely negates the benefits of tech that frees people from toiling, because that toil is how most people make a wage.

Fortunately we live in Captialist economies where private ownership exists and can decide how to operate their business if that means they want to have 4 checkout lanes and a self serivce section they can, if that means 8 checkout lanes they can, if that means self service only they can. Checkout operator isnt a bullshit job that people do to waste time. If you want a store you need a checkout operator or a machine that can do equivalent work. Work must be done for society to function, its not an optional thing in any economic system. Hopefully this addresses your brainrot ‘capitalism bad’ response.

Also we dont live in “captialism where people must toil to earn their right to live” if you dont work you can still live. You get food and housing and you can live, it wont be an materially rich life but there is nothing stopping you from living and you can find your own meaning without money. Also the US is the worst for this, most captialist countries you can not work and have a much better quality of life.

What do you mean the IF is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Its not doing heavy lifting. People like self checkout and if that saves the shop money thats a win/win and if it doesnt thats a win for people and a loss for the shop.

Your point about this being applied broadly and eliminating jobs is dumb. Technological advancement HAS been applied broadly and it does eliminate jobs and yet historically unemployment has been low because there is plenty of work to go around. Sure you can point to some points of high unemployment in history 10-20% but overall there has been no evidence that would suggest we should be passing on advancements to keep a job. So no self checkouts are not ‘bad for all of us’ and the rest of your rant is not worth addressing pure brainrot.

People like self checkout and if that saves the shop money thats a win/win. Not everything is an evil scheme. When competent governments are in power unemployment isnt high enough that we need to make things worse to give people jobs to do.

Big short investor who has been wrong about every prediction.

Because every modern chat application allows for more than text chat. Sure the name is ‘text chat’ so you can take that literally and say “if it allows you to send text its text chat”. Its like a phone, if I say here is a phone and hand someone a landline they’re gonna be like wtf.

I see this all the time with IRC, people will say lets move to IRC and the discord users will use irc for 5 mins and say its shit because its missing every single basic feature let alone the ones that actually make a platform enticing.

It does mean that.

Am I mentally fried or does this seem completely fine? The recon was surface level and it seems to have been responsibly disclosed.

Reddit bridged so many understanding gaps for me while i was in my early 20s things you could never talk about in real life. It was honest people talking in good faith. Now i look at the same places and they’re full of the worst info and worst takes.

on what grounds? Thats insane to ban a community just because its a competitor.

Very accurate instance name

I do. Open source software controlled by people in auth regimes isnt safe.

isnt stoat russian?

oh no a tech worker is whining about something again. Quick everyone rush to their defense. They must remain perfectly comfortable and happy inside their air conditioned luxury office.

Its work and you’re paid well for it. Suck it up or put your skills to use at a different company.
