Me reading this with a gold nose ring 😅
Totally agree nuclear is a great tool but totally being used for the wrong purpose here. Use those power plants to solve our existing energy crisis before you crate an even bigger energy crisis.
I feel like I woke up in the stupidest timeline where climate change is about to kill us, we decide stupidly to 10x our power needs by shoving LLMs down everyone’s throats, and the only solution to stay private is to 10x our personal LLM usage by generating tons of noise about us just to stay private. So now we’re 100x ing everyone’s power usage and we’re going to die even sooner.
I think your idea is interesting – I was also thinking that same thing awhile back – but how tf did we get here.
There are so many people here that hate cloud based services. And the same people also hate JavaScript. Like you realize if your app was just static JavaScript files, you could literally just download the entire site to your computer and run it? Why is JavaScript the enemy?
JavaScript isn’t the enemy. The enshitification of technology is the enemy.
Just out of curiosity what percentage of people here are using Voyager as their Lemmy client?
Voyager wouldn’t work without JavaScript… shhh don’t tell anyone
But where do you drop into? The condition doctor? The car mechanic?
Ironically if these “Christians” actually followed the 10 commandments we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in.
My motivation was mostly to ditch Amazon, but in the process I discovered ko reader is both better than Amazon’s reader and does a really good job turning PDFs into readable books.
You know what, we probably agree on most of that list. And I’m happy we have Lemmy.
Someone else pointed out it’s not that difficult to boot Linux on your Chromebook off a thumb drive. A quick search shows it might be slightly complicated but seems pretty doable depending on your model.
Listen I hate Google, but this still seems like a dumb take. There are better things to criticize them for: illegal monopolization of search through anticompetitive practices, making their search product worse on purpose, having no respect for people’s privacy, literally removing their slogan to not be evil, etc).
Probably windows 🤮
I think there were jailbreaks that could be done on device, but if I remember correctly this wasn’t one of them. I forget the exact year/iOS version. I wanna say I jailbroke 3 iOS versions in a row, and at that point new things had captured my interest. Eventually I found myself captivated with frontend development.
You can find my latest work at https://blorpblorp.xyz/, the obviously best client for Lemmy and soon PieFed.
One of my first exposures to technology was an iPod touch, and I went on to become a software engineer. Maybe it was the time? Perhaps I’ve just become older and grumpier, but technology once felt inviting to me now feels oversaturated and unnecessary. Like do we really need ChatGPT? Does it really make things better or just solve other problems that technology created?
This is kinda a bad take imo. I don’t think it’s chrome books that has ruined tech literacy. Maybe it’s younger exposure to even more addictive social media than previous generations?
I’m pretty young. My first mobile device was an iPod touch 4th gen. I figured out how to jailbreak it and I was like 12 at the time. If I ever felt one of these walled garden devices was holding me back, I enjoyed finding a creative solution around that. Since that iPod touch, I jailbroke my Wii and recently a kindle. I also modded a gameboy, but that was different than jailbreaking.
Are people still talking about Covid vaccines? Aren’t there new conspiracies to move onto. How about Biden being a robot?
Idk how one gets content on Nebula, but I wish more creators would join. Ik nebula isn’t Fediverse like PeerTube, but I still really like it and think it’s worth the $30/year to not get ads.

Frame rate doesn’t necessarily have to be high. Idk how the black boxes on airplanes work, but surely storage options have increased a lot since their invention, right?
