I would say there are levels to pirates. Not everyone here wants or needs to be a pirate 100% of the time. Sure, everyone could download all their music but why bother if you have a streaming service that you consider cheap and you prefer streaming over storage. Like anything, they’re levels to it.

Nostr is the easiest to use decentralized Twitter alternative I’ve came across.

I do not trust Whatsapp to provide the security of a signal conversation. Who wants signal and WhatsApp to talk to each other ?

This is true. I’m a bit biased as that is what I would do. I’d say most users will not even notice. I think most of us here on lemmy are tech heads though and we would be the ones who do connect our phones to PC.

Unless it’s limited by hardware this will be a main cause for jailbreaking your iPhone.

I run N, I like it.

If you want to try Linux, try Ubuntu or mint. Those are the easiest to make an entry into.

No it’s not, if it’s not on the store (outside of Ubuntu does a store even exist?) then it’s more difficult to install. Half the time it’s an appimage you have to download, make it executable and then run. Then if you install it from a website you have to go through the trouble of adding a shortcut into your application menu / desktop and it’s just way more complex than Windows.

I disagree. If you consider a power user using PowerShell or terminal, then sure. But simple things on windows are more complex on Linux. Like installing a program, if you can do it through snap or apt get then great, still more complex for the average user compared to windows where you just download and click.

a failed desktop OS

Windows still has over 60% of desktop market share. You may not like it, but it isn’t a failed OS.

They will not outlaw VPNs. Every major company uses a form of VPN to allow workers to connect remotely. No chance this will happen.

Highest ratio I ever saw was from season 2 of one punch man. Was over 500.

Now that is a useful website.

But how few people actually buy gold?

I’m sure that reddit realizes it but I’ll share for all of you that don’t. If CGPT fills reddit with it’s own comments then future AI projects won’t be able to use Reddit data to train on. An AI that trains on itself or other AI data will suffer what’s known as model collapse. Basically if you don’t have enough variability in the training data you create an unuseable model, that will happen as CGPT fills the internet more and more with it’s content. Sadly if we don’t solve this problem then we likely won’t get past current gen AI in terms of capabilities and scale.

You’d probably be happier on hacker news then mate, enjoy. https://news.ycombinator.com/

The first time I grabbed a 1080 265 and it was almost half the file size of a 264 I had and the quality was visually the same, I knew I could never go back.
