Do you think there are no assholes working for google or mozilla? Assholes are everywhere. And fuck cancel culture.

Edit: I stand by what I said, you can downvote me all you want. It doesn’t matter to me one bit.

That’s partly because the pot itself heats up. With conventional stoves you have to heat the pot first, which takes a lot of time.

I don’t see what was wrong with the comment of /u/voyajer. Can you elaborate?

Retiring , 22 days ago to Mildly Infuriating in I don't appreciate that.

Why is it important that you vote in that poll that is clearly just designed to get you to sign up for the newsletter? Just don’t do it, nothing good could come of it.

Never tested 2FAS, but tofu I have been using for years. Can’t complain, it works.

If you use voyager you can filter keywords. I recommend filtering „elon“, „musk“, „tesla“, „spacex“… makes for a much more enjoyable experience.

I am glad you liked it. Can’t take the credit for this one though, I first heard it from Ed Zitron in his podcast „Better Offline“. Highly recommend.

Retiring , 1 month ago to Technology in OpenAI Insider Estimates 70 Percent Chance That AI Will Destroy or Catastrophically Harm Humanity

I feel this is all just a scam, trying to drive the value of AI stocks. Noone in the media seems to talk about the hallucination problem, the problem with limited data for new models (Habsburg-AI), the energy restrictions etc.

It’s all uncritical believe that „AI“ will just become smart eventually.
This technology is built upon a hype, it is nothing more than that. There are limitations, and they reached them.

82.2W average for which I pay 144.6€/a at the moment. That’s for a Ryzen 7 3700X, some hard drives and SSDs and the fiber connection to my basement. I outsourced 90% of media consumption to a VPS though, that’s another 84€/a.

That doesn’t really solve the problem. But thanks anyway, worth a try, I guess.
