This excuse for an article is the hardest read for me since along time. I probably have an AI summarize it for me.

Someone else will continue selling RAM and making money.

TNG is also painfully old fashioned. Especially the fist two seasons are … hard to watch sometimes.

Honestly: I would start with VOY. It’s easy to watch, has a certain amount of action, and doesn’t lose it too much with society and politics.

In the whole ~30 years I’m using computers now I probably owned 2-3 computers in total. I wouldn’t say I’m wealthy or spend too much money on PCs, I just get the best hardware available and use it as long as possible.

Yeah, I admit, it was quite expensive. I never updated one single bit of it, except switching to a 1080 one or two years after buying it, though.

8 GB of VRAM and 16 GB of RAM … those are the specs of my almost 15 years old legacy machine. I doubt that the Steam Machine outperforms anything made in the last 5-10 years.

How generous of them that we’re allowed to install software on our mobile computers that we own.

The USA are a circus only existing to entertain the rest of the world.

Yes!

Have we just become numb to ads?

Online I use multiple browser extensions and settings to avoid showing ads. In the offline world there is no way to avoid them but I think I pretty much can ignore them.

I also intentionally do not buy anything I remember seeing an ad for.

Yes, all access to outside sources is blocked by default and users are asked on a per URL basis with the author manually requesting each URL access including a reason – with occasional manual validation from Mozilla staff.

They should make it a requestable permission.

The URLs mentioned in their blog article all have a wrong certificate (different host name).

I am sure if they fix it Google’s system would reclassify the sites as safe.

Please go see a doctor if you think you have skin cancer.

has led to a lot of the same moderation rot on Lemmy

Almost as if the platform wasn’t the problem.

So, they gave in to the AI hype, too?

Next news: Quantic Dream lays off 50% of all staff due do bad sales of Spellcasters Chronicles. 🤣

Oh boy, when will they learn …

I have no problem with mid-tier hardware or even on the lower end. I had a Pixel 3 till it broke, and replaced it with a Pixel 7 Pro. My Laptop is 7, my desktop 10 years old.

But I would not re-buy a Pixel 3 for the price of a Pixel 10 Pro, no matter how open the system is.

(Which is funny, because the Google phones are best for running de-googled Android.)

All free phones I know so far are mid-to-low tier devices with a high-tier price tag. I hope the FSF will be able to either ramp up the specs to current standard (whenever “current” will be) or having a reasonable price.

I’ll always prefer physical media over streaming for things I like.

It’s mainly Bluray nowadays, but also some older DVDs.
