Get to it then. 🤷‍♂️

I got a nice LG C3 on an open box deal, I connected it to run updates and fiddle for a few, then deleted the apps and took it offline.

And will continue to be so long as everyone keeps showing Elon there is NOTHING he can do, say, or allow that will get people to leave.

Meanwhile, everybody will continue to refuse to leave the platform, further showing Elon that there is no price too high for people.

I had a similarly nightmarish experience with Asus over their phone some years ago. I was a long time Asus fan in the PC sphere, now none of my tech is ASUS.

The American consumers worship of convenience/price above all else is precisely what got us here. Just like how everyone discusses how toxic twitter is… On Twitter.

In regards to twitter - Of course it’s where everyone is, nobody will leave.

In regards to Amazon - Of course everyone else is struggling, nobody will pay $3 more to buy it from them instead of Amazon.

I’m not saying there aren’t times it does end up having to be amazon or that you can’t be lazy and use amazon occasionally. I have prime myself and do use it on occasion (probably wouldn’t if I didn’t split it with my ex though.) I AM saying nothing will ever change so long as people REFUSE to even consider their habits for a second.

I always imagine people who die on this hill just admiring the title screen of every game in their library for 5 seconds and calling it a gaming session lol.

Thats the plan - and nothing will be done because there is no law, no faith, only money.

Democrats are no better. They’ll argue for women’s or trans rights (when convenient) but even most of their "progressive voters still worship at the altar of Money and think to limit greed in any meaningful way is inherently sinful.

So i can come deflate your tires every night and tell everybody you’re a loser who doesn’t even know how to fill a tire then?

If you knew how to take care of your car the tires wouldn’t be flat every morning. 🤷‍♂️

People who love arguing socialist states fail love to ignore that the reasons are 95% economic interference and outright military intervention or coups from capitalist countries.

Oh fuck off already, nobody cares.

Do we have an iamverysmart community? We could use one.

Yes

Of course Lemmy and dropout have a meaty Venn diagram, but this really makes me glad I haven’t watched all the Smarty-pants 🤣

Handsome boy ❤️

For a point of comparison, a ChatGPT request uses 2.9 watt-hours (and rising) to a google searches 0.3 (which per your example would only be run once assuming you’re checking different blogs from the same list of results.)

At least with battle passes its all laid out and its more a case of putting the play time in.

You’re quick to imply that this study is bullshit, yet offer no counter argument except “believing statistics is for losers lul”

So where are your sources to refute the article?

I can’t speak to how often, but it definitely happens.

Its a perception thing, they see it as “I dont have to’learn’ anything I just follow these tutorials” even though a similar amount of effort would get them through the few commands they might need on Linux.

Eh, no use crying over spilt milk, youre here now. :) Linux is still stuck in a weird cultural hole, its not your fault it took a while.

Ive always been familiar but a daily driver of windows. I started self hosting a year or two ago, and recently switched my office PC to Linux with a secondary win partition. Ive just never had issues with windows but I’m pretty tired of what they’ve been up too lately so for me it was time. Whenever I get around to grabbing another m.2 for my living room rig I’ll do the same for it.
