    So, are people picking their battles by practically bullying others into thinking they’re wrong and outdated? They could simply ignore people talking about phone jacks, but they don’t. They’re not picking battles. They’re actively fighting, and on the corps’ side.

    Also, there’s always a bigger battle. If we think like this, no one will ever do anything. Corporations don’t go all in. They take things away from us one small step at a time, and people allow it, because they’re always small things, but just like boiling frogs, we will end up into a cyberpunk era.

    Every time someone mentions the headphone jack, comes a legion of people defending the corporations. People will really accept anything they do and bully the ones who don’t want to submit. That’s impressive! And we’re in a place with higher-than-average corporation haters.

    It’s even more impressive when we think about how Bluetooth earphone users don’t gain anything by removing the jack, neither lose anything by keeping it. It literally doesn’t affect them, but heavily affects anyone who uses wired phones or other stuff. People simply use their energy against others, in favor of corporations for absolutely no benefits for them, but simply for fucking the other people. I can’t understand this behavior.




  • Considering only the queries ommits all the energy used in training models, scraping and preparing data and all the indirect energy from putting a greater load in servers all around the world from scraping them all the time. oh, and all the energy in the manufacturing processes of the hardware, and from building the servers. We must consider the consumption of the industry as a whole, or we’re being biased as well.

    Articles keep showing up explaining how queries aren’t so power-hungry, but the corporations keep draining more and more energy, building more and more power plants that never keep up with the demand, and so on.





  • The best ones imo. No microplastics, zero maintenance, extreme durability, not hard to wash and not so expensive nowadays.

    My grandmother still uses her stainless steel pans that are like 50 or 60 yo, and they still look perfect, almost like new, if not for the scratches. They were a gift when she married, and she literally never bought pans for herself in her life.
