It gives your carrier too much control over what you do with a device you own and makes it pretty much impossible to use burner SIMs. Just bad for privacy in general.
Is there a rimjob_steve equivalent on Lemmy?
What exactly is the fear about self driving cars? I’ve never heard this side of the story.
Man I missed quality memes after so long in the shithole that is r/memes
Devil’s advocate time: the placebo effect is incredibly powerful, and for many people it’s all that’s needed.
This reply misunderstands the fundamentals of market economics. If we, the consumers, start making the global climate more of a factor in our purchasing decisions, that will directly affect what gets produced in a capitalist system. Not trying to absolve these corporations of responsibility for the problems they’ve caused, just saying that if enough people start taking the bus/train instead of driving or substituting meats for plant based foods, we can have a significant impact. Of course the best thing we can do is vote to get ignorant climate science deniers out of office.
Cool, I was wondering when someone would create a successor to bismuth. KDE Plasma + Bismuth was my daily driver for a long time until 5.27.
This actually seems really cool, will give it a shot
Yeah Lemmy has totally exceeded my expectations, I thought leaving Reddit would be a compromise for the sake of privacy, but I was so glad to be proven wrong
That’s not necessarily true, LLMs are a very useful research aid because they give you a place to start. They give you a high level summary and may cite sources which may/may not exist, and it’s up to you to fact check and develop your own opinions. They can also summarize complex texts and filter out SEO garbage that would otherwise clutter google search results. Research still works the same as before, LLMs are just an accelerator if used correctly.
I have to agree, that blog post was concerning in its openness to Meta joining ActivityPub. Any fediverse user who knows a little internet history should be very worried right now
