Right.

“We hate capitalist oligarchs which is why we are moving to another oligarch-owned platform.”

It’s all so tiresome.

Another one that will weight 300g with a 60% screen to body ratio so that I can stare at the horrible bezels on that thing, I assume?

Which EU-based companies or their CEOs align with or support far-right, nationalist, or MAGA-style politics? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Is anybody surprised lol have you seen how he acts on LinkedIn? A guy who was lucky to strike gold now thinks he’s hot shit. Its embarrassing.

At this point The Great Firewall is looking more like it’s protecting people from this AI slop. I have no idea how websites are in China, but I think I would be okay with Europe raising a great firewall against US owned companies.

The damage US far-right influencers (along with Russian funding of local parties) is doing in Europe cannot be underestimated.

Waiting for Motorola compatibility to come out! I had a pixel before and I didn’t like it, too heavy, horrible body-to-screen ratio, huge phone too. Plus it’s Google.

It’s insane that it’s come to this. Europe should have decoupled from Us dependence a long time ago. Better late than never, I guess.

I used to be upset about this phenomenon until I realized Social Media is full:

people who can’t see one palm in front of them
literal children whose parents are scrolling videos for them to watch.

All due to screen addiction. So while it is tempting to reduce everything to bots, trolls, or mustache-twirling villains who won’t let us have nice things, the reality is we humans too tend to misclick things. 😶‍🌫️

AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice— Not only are AIs far more agreeable than humans when advising on interpersonal matters, but users also prefer the sycophantic models. in c/technology@lemmy.world

It’s okay if your penis is small - in fact I prefer it.

Are you circumcised or uncircumcised? My next prompt depends on your reply.

Not to mention they look dogshit on GNOME. Fonts look so blue try you’re better off gauging your eyes out, it’s less painful.

Windows PCs crash 3X as often as Macs, lag behind in security and lifespan in c/hardware@lemmy.world

I was gonna say… do Macs even crash? I don’t think I’ve ever seen those two words together in a sentence before. Not that I’ve used a Mac but yeah… I have an iPhone and I barely ever need to restart this thing, really only do it when I have to install an update and it really just restarts itself.
