Why would it? Not relevant at the slightest. By then obscene amounts of emissions will be already emitted and money made, and the damage is already here. How will some improvment in a model gonna offset that? (Its not)

Another point to consider is that on the same timeline, demand for that product also grows at scary rates

And of course the never ending greed of capitalists

How do you how shitty it is or not? Have you examined their code? Do you trust them blindly to let them run arbitrary code on your device? They are preferring to shove their app into our devices for many many reasons that non of them are for our benefit.

And uninstalling right after is closing the gate after the horses are long gone

Whenever someone generalizes a group so drastically like this, I tend to wonder about how limited their life experiences must be.

You don’t like their generalizations so you make your own, outstanding.

On similar note, whenever someone is basing their entire lives around some fictional ancient nonsense I wonder the same. Especially when they are so bent on shoving it up everyone’s arses.

yeah i did thanks for the backup!

indeed you do, my dyslexic dumb mind switched the “is” with the “it” :D

How so?

What a sane person would want to install a shitty carrier app just for that? There should be a way to do it via their web ui in the least

Reminds me of the ‘joke’ where a secretary goes into her bosses’ office with a high stack of résumés, puts it on his desk. He then randomly takes half a pile and throws it in the garbage. The secretary, surprised and a bit shocked, asks him why did you do that for? Those are perfectly good résumés. To which he replies I don’t hire unlucky people.

Not sure why you got downvoted; I agree with every word. What’s the solution though? How to handle this disconnect as a developer?

I think that was op of the top comment here said - that they post it for everyone, without expecting a profit, for people to enjoy. But scummy actors are using their art to gain profit in immoral methods.

To bring the 2 points together - once something is online(fully agree with what you said) bad actors will inevitably use it to gain profit and commoditize it.

I was thinking to myself that it can’t be that many people, but sure enough I was wrong and was surprised to learn the following from the Wikipedia article about super-tasters:

“Research suggests 25% of the population are non-tasters, 50% are medium tasters, and 25% are supertasters.”

Quite interesting and concise page, recommended. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster

Totally, although the thing is I bet one day tvs will come with a built in sim card, or worst yet will disable themselves until there’s an active internet connection or some other scummy method

“On a long enough time line, everyone’s survival rate drops to zero.”

How will that work? Will they cover the subscription fee for the sim anywhere in the world? Or do you mean the fridge owners will cover it?

“Smart” fridges are the dumbest shit ever; given that, pi hole or some ad blocking DNS? Block access to Samsung servers?

Don’t understand people who are willing to let all that data pass through 3rd party servers

Americans having trouble with basic math per usual. 30% on top of a 100% is not 130%

HOW DO THEY KBOW ABOHT THE OSTRICH

I’ve seen and heard some fucked up shit in my life but damn tech and ai just keep giving some novel sadistic shit each fucking day.

Its slavery.

Fifty-two percent of surveyed workers believe they are training AI to replace other workers’ jobs, and 36% believe they are training AI to replace their own jobs. 74% were concerned about AI’s contribution to the spread of disinformation, 54% concerned about surveillance, and 47% concerned about the use of AI to suppress free speech, among other issues.

Medidwhy do we allow this to happen just that some sadistic fucks would get richer?

Eventually he will tax them on bandwidth and for downloading unamerican content
