While I appreciate them talking in good faith, all these articles that warn against misusing technology really sound out of touch from our reality.

It’s capitalism, of course it would be misused cause of our economic incentives.

When it comes to AI, you either don’t like it or are trying to make money from it, no one expects it to actually work so the entire point is moot.

This is the last paragraph of the article:

AI seems to present a spectacular new slate of opportunities and threats. But, in essence, much of what was true before AI remains so now. Human greed and desire for greater control over nature and other people may lead toward paths of short-term gain. But, if you want a good life when all’s said and done, learn to live well within limits. Live with honesty, modesty, and generosity. AI can’t help you with that.

Yeah no shit

Honestly? Probably the lack of options.

As a Canadian, unless you want to cross the Atlantic, you got like a handful of good Canadian choices and the rest is American.

That will change in the fall/winter cause Central America would become a good option.

Soooo is 3 and 4 the same word or what?

“Good thanks, you?”

Or, “been better, so hot today”.

you’re suppose to either say good or say bad with a witty (small talk) reason, that’s it.

I’m guessing they are trying to catch up to AI via brute force?

Idk if that logic works, replace magic with guns and you see the problem

I see where you’re coming from but idk if I agree.

Gaming has been one of the few consumer hobbies that has improved over the last few decades.

Sure, companies are greedy, but just like music, we are living in a golden age of access, such a huge library is available and no more console exclusives. A steam deck will give you generations of content.

Gaming is also a lot more accepted as an adult now. And honestly, so much of everyone’s time is spent on a phone that it’s pretty easy to replace that with a handheld that goes on standby instantly.

I think your talking about abundance of free time, which yeah I agree adulthood has no mercy for, but ironically gaming is one of the most effective hobbies if you have little time.

That’s an excellent point.

We need to shift the conversation from government taxing its citizens to shielding them from international economic forces.

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

Just thought more people should know about this cause… CGP Grey is awesome.

Sorry to post something that should be in the you should know community… but that’s in lemmy.world which would take this down.

Please let me know if I should post this somewhere else.

 
 

Hi,

I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.

I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.

I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.

So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).

Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

 

I’ll see myself out.

 

They are honestly both good, but can’t beat the native ios experience.
