I leave at 3 pm on office days to beat traffic. Everyone does that. What is this 5 pm thing he talks about? Must be America…

I tried warp but it was actually laggy and slow. Also I don’t like the account idea, but I was willing to let it slide if they built a much better terminal than what we have.

They didn’t.

Thank you!

Alright. Want a reward? :)

Literally all my downvotes are from people with different options. This is a huge echo chamber. I rarely insult anyone and I’m always polite. I don’t believe vaccinations are safe for everyone since there are side effects, and I think each person should make their own decision about them. I don’t think gender issues are the most important thing in the world.

These are controversial opinions on this platform. :) And I get a lot of downvotes for those opinions when they show up. Not that I care, because I just ignore it. But in the larger picture, it makes people leave the platform.

Why should they stay? I think Lemmy needs to have a good reason to be used. Memes won’t be enough.

I still like the idea of a platform without big tech though. I just think most people don’t realize what makes people stay on a platform. It’s not memes.

I think because we have mostly memes and any discussion is just won by downvoting your opponent. :)

I’m half serious… The platform right now is lacking actual discussions. Everyone seems to just like memes.

I’m guessing their scientific software needs that system we shall not name…

They have a choice of different models in the Nightly version of Firefox. So I think we are getting there. Maybe even an option to run our own self hosted models.

I think it can be useful for some users but hardly the majority.

You can select text now in Firefox and ask it to make a summary or to explain it in simpler words. Then it generates a query to chatgpt in the sidebar who answers it.

So for some use cases I think it’s nice. Even better if you could make it do research and save us time. Like “check the top tech sites for reviews of this phone model and give me a summary of it’s major flaws”.

Chat gpt can do that but it’s not really integrated into the Firefox experience. If you could select a phone name and have a one click option to “give me top flaws and pros of this model according to top reviewers”, that could save a lot of time.

I think it’s just about packaging this functionality better. I don’t think it should be in a sidebar. It should just be in a new tab with lots of options to continue the research in different ways.

Lol this is actually true.

It’s true today that you can easily drive your entire home on solar power, but only if you live in a sunny country. If I was, I would install them immediately. They will pay back in like 5 years and after that, energy costs are zero.

I look forward to them becoming smaller and more efficient. In the future, we may be able to have glass that is made of solar panels, which means entire skyscraper buildings can charge their power continuously from the sun.

I only like some. I dislike big breasts and think they look pretty disgusting. Smaller ones are much sexier.

I also only like breasts on women that are like 30 year old and less. I don’t get attracted to older ones and think it’s slightly disgusting even. And I’m much older than 30 myself.

I’m sure this is also not politically correct but that’s how it is. I don’t choose what I get attracted to.

I think it’s a false positive.

Yeah I know, I’m not American myself. It’s absolutely possible to have a balance, but it requires companies to not be so rich and above the law that they can control the laws.

I’ve been using computers for 30 years and never once has an antivirus program been helpful or accurate. But yeah, I don’t download and click on random stuff from the web.

It’s just really boring I guess. As a kid I didn’t realize how pointless it all is. Go to work, make money to pay bills, be tired after work and watch TV…

Thank god for working from home, it gives some relief from the process.

But yeah, it’s the same in communist countries I guess… Just without all the stuff we can buy.

I read that the Xiaomi Ultra 14 also has similar issues with lens fogging up.

Is it too much to ask that the manufacturers of super expensive phones test their phones before selling them?

I guess so.

“Mind blowing” passenger train… If it would be able to teleport itself, sure.

It’s all about distraction. All of us seek entertainment because our lives are usually quite dull. So the media feeds us things to have opinions about. Politicians, big tech psychos, gender issues…

It’s all pointless and keeps us from actually making any real difference. People here on Lemmy fight over which words to use, gender issues, or god forbid, someone admits they are not vaccinated…! Wow. Nuclear bomb right away.

None of this matters at all, it’s just entertainment… Nobody changes their minds from getting downvoted either. Sometimes it feels like keyboard warriors here think they are fighting some kind of fight. But nobody changes their mind guys, even if you downvote them.

So it’s actually pure entertainment and distraction from what matters… :) We don’t have to be so serious.

As long as their goals suite the company, sure. The endgame of Google is very clear and it doesn’t include a free and open web.
