  • That's a fair question.

    Usually not much, so I have too started to log in far less frequently. However, as an example, I did get in touch once again with an old friend thanks to it (and we are still in touch), so it did help quite a bit in that regard. But I understand your point and I have been thinking about leaving the platform anyway due to all the privacy shitshow.

  • It's not the same and you know it. I have the same issue with Instagram. Many of our interactions through the platform come from us reacting to each other's content (posts, stories, comments). Without that you lose a lot of "spontaneous" interaction.

  • We are not equating "communists" with fascism, we are equating authoritarian communists with fascism. They are both as bad because they are both authoritarian regimes that are based around opressing the people.

    And holicaust trivialization? Didn't the URSS kill a shit ton of people as well? Isn't China commiting crimes against humanity as well?

  • Because religion is still the brainwashing machine that set it in motion.

    Saying that it's all because religion and not blaming the father is stupid, but so is ignoring the importance of religion as a control tool.

  • Or children starving because they have to pay for shitty food at school, or children starving and having a bad life because their parents can't afford to pay for more even if they already work, or children at orphanages...

    Yeah, much like with forbidding abortion (but then never caring whether the no longer-aborted child will have a proper home to live), children are just a political tool.

  • It's not just about having permission or not, but the right to be forgotten. You can ask a company to delete the personal data they may have on you and by law they should (in theory) delete it, with the only exception being data that may be required for justified purposes.

    AIs not being able to "forget" means that they would be breaking the law if trained with personal data, as you could not have your data removed if you ask them to do so.

  • I mean, almost complete disappearance of smaller phones is kinda puzzling?

    Yeah, my bad there, I understood the previous comment as somewhat of a "Well I don't understand how people can like big phones".

    My guess is, as with many other things, corporations pushed towards a certain thing (big phones in this case) enough to make it the default and then the bigger audience just stopped caring as a result.

    It is interesting indeed, but I guess that's just it, aside from the obvious fact that the bigger the space, the easier is to design stuff (my previous comment + better heat dissipation + more space for cameras), so probably a mixture of all of these things together and a couple more.

  • People want big phones for some reason

    Bigger battery, better for content consumption and overall usage if you use it frequently. It's not that weird, yet you treat it as if we were talking about aliens.

  • I wasn't referring to whether the LLM commits copyright infringement when creating a text (though that's an interesting topic as well), but rather the act of feeding it the texts. My point was that it is not like us in a sense that we read and draw inspiration from it. It's just taking texts and digesting them. And also, from a privacy standpoint, I feel kind of disgusted at the thought of LLMs having used comments such as these ones (not exactly these, but you get it), for this purpose as well, without any sort of permission on our part.

    That's mainly my issue, the fact that they have done so the usual capitalistic way: it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

  • Yeah, I read the title and was like: if the babies are with the iPads, it's because their parents are not spending time with the babies.

    Now the reason behind it, that's another story, but I agree that it's most likely having to work like a slave.

  • I've had both iPhones and Androids at several points in my life (just recently switched from and iPhone 11 to an S23 Ultra).

    For the most part, I find Android devices to be plain better. More features, more freedom... you know, the usual. The only thing I find to be better on the iPhones is that, as a frontend developer and someone who loves seeing nice UX on apps, I feel like 3rd party native apps are usually much better and much more frequent on Apple devices than on Android ones. When I participate in macOS development communities, it also feels like devs enjoy much more developing for macOS/iOS/iPadOS than the alternatives.
