There are some seeds there. Llms show that automation will eventually destroy all jobs, and at any time even things we think are unassailable for decades could suddenly find themselves at risk.
That plants a lot of seeds. Just not the ones the average longtermist wants planted.
Jeez you seem like you have some personal vendetta against this lab
All I’ve got to offer are unionisation pamphlets and a brick.
Won’t someone please think of the children?!
True, but not new. It’s been this since before “fight terror” in fact.
I highly doubt Reddit is doing it intentionally. You’re talking to people who have chosen not to switch platforms, and so they’re giving you their rationalisations for it. The conspiracy theories aren’t necessary to explain the behaviour, people will find all sorts of excuses for resistance to change.
What surprises me is that no one has made a phone case that integrates a flip or slide keyboard. It would be an easy way to add an aftermarket physical board to a phone, and from these threads it’s clear there’s at least some demand. I understand it’s probably not enough demand for a whole phone line, but surely something like that would be possible.
When I lived in Japan I had a lovely flip phone with a nice big screen (for the time), no thicker than my cased pixel phone now when closed. The only clamshells that are left have comically tiny screens and are thicker than a fully loaded wallet. They’re substantially less functional than what I used in 2007. It’s bizarre.
I’d skip the vote one, it’s just giving them a bit more traffic stats. Agree with the edit though.
If you wanna be petty, edit your posts into contextual nonsense that looks like it fits, so Reddit gets just a little harder to read.
It kinda reminds me of what happened to rural buses in Canada. We had small bus companies going all over the place. Greyhound bought them all out and ran the whole thing as a monopoly for a few years.
Then they decided it was too much trouble and shut the operations down.
For the last twenty years there are no rural buses at all. If you want to get from point a to b outside of town, it’s flight or drive.
I don’t know that he does.
We’re still hearing about twitter and people are still using it.
I think what we’re learning is that social media has more inertia than we might have thought, and it’s actually incredibly difficult to kill it. This is a very bad thing as it allows someone like Musk to deeply alt-rightify what is fundamentally a public resource in private hands, but people will keep using it because…? I couldn’t tell you why really, and I think most of us that have adopted lemmy are by nature not likely to really understand it.
Oh we totally agree, I was just agreeing with you in a slightly tongue in cheek manner.
