No. It's one of the many, many problems, even if it wasn't shovelling money into rich wide dude's mouths and trained on stolen data, it would still use absurd amounts of energy, could be used for propaganda / further eradicate what is true, make creative people loose their jobs, make normal people rely on machines that sell hallucinations for facts etc. etc. This shit is mostly terrible.
Can we get the UK on board with this as well? (Maybe when they rejoin the EU? And let's drive on the same site of the road as 98% of the planet while we're on it).
Is that possible without an addon/extension nowadays? I used Gnome and DashToDock / Plank etc for years but got fet up with stuff breaking with system updates.
So what are you using on the desktop and how long have you been using it? I've switched to Linux / open source software a year ago and especially learning programs (design / media tools in my case) was super painful for some time. But I had the motivation of not wanting to use an OS that tries to spy on me and getting away from a super shady monopolist (Adobe) as a motivator that kept me going. Sure there are still some things that get on my nerves but those exist in Microsoft's (and Apple's) and Adobe's products as well.
Ooops, yes, sorry, Eevee is Blender's real time renderer (like a game engine) that fakes fakes a lot of stuff while Cycles is the classic "physics-based" renderer. I heard that it took under a minute to Render a frame which is absurd for movie quality. But it makes sense since the look is kinda stylized (only noticed in the cinema that characters are kinda cell shaded) but it still looks so good, the lightning, fog, water, bloom, dephth of field, wow. Was really worth it watching on the big screen. Story is a bit weird but loved the characters and their interactions.
Haha, whoops, I've been using Futo Keyboard for month, (it's amazing!) not realizing that it's sponsored by the same company that also gives money to Immich, nice!
