maybe a Sauron fan more like

having been in combat, with electronic gear designed for the military, i can say this will be a million percent terrible. it’s gonna be too heavy (already they carry too much- i have degenerated discs as do many of my buds) and will break constantly. to say nothing of keeping it charged- who wants range anxiety in a combat situation.

now i will say that going to Iraq radicalized me against war and i filed as a conscientious objector, but back in those days right after 9/11 there wasn’t much of an antiwar movement.

not really in that situation

fascism is when i don’t like something, right?

isn’t it best when we water down terms to meaninglessness? /s

yeah i saw those in development over 10 years ago. they are definitely getting close

i reckon they can handle getting rained on at least three times! and they love the summer sun

requires paying humans wages and that is unacceptable! also it only costs ten million times more than a paper poster and it goes into CapEx not OpEx so the government gives it preferential tax treatment

thinking about advertisers, this is the only possible reason why they would adopt such expensive technology

and! it only costs as much resources as ten million paper posters, but will break after getting rained on thrice

oh wow haha didn’t realize e-ink isn’t vegan compatible! TIL, thanks

greatest is quite a stretch

yeah i lots dozens. and i have an SSD that died with the keys to 5 more. I’m not losing sleep over it

bing or duck duck go, too. i just say googling because it sounds stupid as shit to say anything else. DDG is my default search engine. kagi isn’t much better, and comes with its own issues

honestly LLMs are about a thousand times more useful than Google at this point. Every week i try googling and get nothing but spam results.

for example just yesterday i was searching for how to reclaim some wasted space on one of my devices. so i searched on Google and tried 8 different pages that were ad-riddled hell holes.

i gave up and spent 10 seconds with an LLM and got the answer i needed. i will admit that i had to tell it to quit bullshitting me at one point but i got what i needed. and no ads.

it’s so funny to see people on lemmy who fell for cloud connected cameras. you’d think this group would be the last to fall for it, maybe not. i’ve even received them as gifts (very expensive ones) but i just threw it in the trash because that is better than anyone using it.

yeah certainly not enough to have statistical significance

well i hate to say this (really i do), turning is actually one of the only strong points about the CT. It can do a u-turn in the same-ish radius as a model 3, much better than most vehicles in its class.

that driver was just a fucking moron

but you could just throw away your car and build an open source car from source! isn’t that better than using… MP3!!!
