Well look at wifi vs bluetooth. Wifi and bluetooth both use 2.4ghz. But wifi has a lot more bandwidth on 2.4ghz. Maybe because it uses more channels (a bigger frequency range)?

But there is room to improve bandwidth, even over distance. Tho how would they have done that, no idea. There is need for more time so devices with the tech can arrive on the market, and be tested.

But also more time so more specialised content can be produced to inform us normal people.

The article only talks about deployment costs. What about the rest?

For you a company should just throw away it's employees to hire inexistent Linux experts or people using Linux software or whatever?

There is the server side. There I agree that using Linux is great.

On the client side it can be more complicated. A lot of schools in various domains teach the students how to use the software on windows. Not Linux.

Furthermore, a company doesn't pop into existence the moment where it thinks it needs to switch to Linux.

The company already exists, providing work to the employees, trained on windows. So switching on Linux may change the software if it cannot be used on Linux (not everything is a saas). And that can be a time consuming process for the employees too because they don't know how to use it efficiently.

They can't really do that, mostly because it's not "just 1 person".

There are a lot of costs going into maintaining the os, apps, custom software, and training for the employees.

Google is giant, and has a huge amount of money. They can afford to spend the costs of training, modifying software, or developing other software for their needs if it reduces their future costs.

A smaller company don't have all those funds, they wouldn't be able to invest as much into switching to Linux and maintaining the custom software or finding new software and training.

When people switch to another software, there is also a period of low productivity, when these same people are still discovering the software, and cannot do everything as fast as before. That is also creating additional costs.

Sure. But google does waste money if it brings them profit. It would be rather called an investment.

However the example of Google is extremely bad, because it can only be applied to very large tech companies who already have people developing for Linux.

It's not a waste of money, it's a bad example.

Well maybe psychological help may not be the right word in English. But there are still treatment shown there.

For the rest fueling the child addiction is the same thing as porn addiction in what I tried to explain.

Both adult porn and underage content could be "related" in the sense of addiction, but different in the category of content.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_addiction

For an addiction, like porn, it is hard to get out because it becomes an habit (it can be compared to gambling...). And changing the habit is very difficult. It becomes impulsive.

A solution to get out of such addiction, is to find another habit (in addition of adequate treatment or therapy). which will take the place of the porn addiction.

A could be similarly be translated to aldult/child content.

As stated in that study, most of the people considered attracted to childrens also have attraction to adult partners/content.

... studies have shown that only 7% of pedophiles are exclusively. The vast majority of pedophiles are therefore non-exclusive and have sex with adults in 93% of cases [2].

So a possible way could be the replacement of the child content with adult content.

Which is where the investigative journal I talked about comes in. I don't remember where and when (not something I look for...). But they went and interviewed a special medical house where people could be put, or go to get help and treatment.

I don't remember the %. But they found some success for people not falling back into children content.

Maybe all brands, but can't be sure.

Tesla is "known" or at lest publicised in multiple places that they have pretty bad quality control, and I guess also bad design on some parts.

So bad protection on the battery at tesla design? Maybe? Is there a "review" on car internals somewhere? I have no idea.

Could another vehicle survive the same thing? Who knows, maybe? Maybe not?

Tho there are some who said they went with a tesla directly into water slashing over the hood. So maybe some are waterproof?

You can't rely install that. There can be microg (not sure if it's in the distributed rom), but there is no system integration with microg, so G apps cannot work. Neither a lot of apps based on play services.

Microg however offers a modified LineageOs rom where they have installed the system integration for micro G. On that rom, the G apps and apps requiring G services do work.

Maybe it could be a bit more privacy friendly than using the direct Google services, but it still connects to Google to get some services for some apps.

I am not sure to understand what you are trying to do?

If I go on a different app, then back to Liftoff (android), it stays to almost the same place as before.

However if I go into the profile tab then back to feed, it refreshes the fees as the home button seems to be feed & refresh.

[-] Tibert@compuverse.uk -1 points 1 year ago

Not for me. It's in sign up for auto install when available mode.

Can ChatGPT be easily distinguished from a real person (if it doesn't say it's an AI)?

It is still possible, but not easy (also it is getting worse with time). Tho that doesn't make it a person. However we don't yet have the tech capable of making an entire person just in AI. But if we had it.

Your concerns may very well be a good point. But these AI humans, may not be considered persons if we suppose current tech enhanced.

However another moral issue is : let's say there is an AI human in there, and the player falls in love with it. Is the player marrying a person or an AI? From his perspective it could very well be a person. But from another ones perspective it would be an AI. How would other people need to treat such AI? As a person? Not as a person? How awkward would it be?

Then another one (if everything looks and feels as the real world) : AI humans in there wouldn't be considered as people. Would that mean that you can enslave them? Commit "crimes" (and other considered "bad" things) as they are not considered people? If they look and act like real people is it moral to do such thing?

I recently found Liftoff on android from the posts on Lemmy, and I like some of the features (in addition to the common text features) :

  • the ability to have multiple accounts views at the same time.
  • being able to add instances without accounts just to get the all/local content from them.
  • nice design.

However I find it is also lacking :

  • there are inconsistencies between how comments and posts are managed in the notification/account view (to open a comment I need to click on the "link" 🔗 button, but to open a post I can just click on it)
  • it doesn't yet have verified links like Jerboa, so when something puts and https instead of ! Link to a community/post, it always opens in a browser.
  • I would also like to be able to have a setting where it is a "always ask what account to use" for subscriptions. If I found an interesting community on my alt account, I would want to subscribe to it with my main.

As someone else said no it wasn't installed though the software manger. It just failed to install though that way.

He went for a guide CLEARLY LABELED AS DANGEROUS MULTIPLE TIMES using the terminal with the "do as I say" command.

Tho this issue shouldn't have happened, but it happened. And was blocked for a normal install.

He just forced it through a command.
