I could never afford it though and being severely disabled means I’m poor so yay capitalism.

damn capitalism, you could be dead or in a home somewhere! i bet you’re on welfare as well

the number after the words hot take indicates the number of times this has been a hot take, eg. at this point you’re just circlejerking

lemmy hates ai, hot take 726491

far more people rely on working linux systems to work

Far more people work on Windows machines to do work

XP and 7 basically ran flawless on all my machines I had them on

So you somehow missed alll the worms and viruses and toolbars and adware and spyware that was going around on windows for a decade?

All the blue screens and driver issues and memory crashes and slowness and bugginess?

I have never seen anyone saying they never had any issues with Windows before, you’re the first in 30 years

It’s strange to me because well, I was a 20+ years windows veteran who managed to never have issues on any of my windows installs

You’ve only used Windows 7 onwards? You must have missed the shitshow that was XP and Vista

This was cool 5 years ago, now you can get solar panels and a home battery big enough to power this thing 24x7 without an issue, even if the sun was fully blacked out for a week

edit: a 40kwh battery would last with the power draw:

Power usage 2.62W

like over a year

Why post a misleading graphic?

As the article says: No platform pays a flat rate per play. Each service splits a revenue pool by every artist’s share of total streams.

It’s not a flat get X plays earn Y amount, because as the amount of streams you get increases your share of the pool goes up which increases the amount you earn

In addition free loaders (people who have ad supported spotify for example) have a significantly lower pay per play than premium subscribers, and even then a premium subscriber in India for example has a lower pay per play rate than someone in Australia or Canada

I have no idea why so many lemmy.zip users have decided to start posting images lately or maybe I’m just noticing them because it’s broken

I’ve always said do the best you can to move away from big tech, this person saying:

If there’s a thriving secondhand market, more people can sell them and buy flagships.

If we’re down to worrying about the health of the secondhand market I think we’d be in an amazing place, but we’re not, every little bit helps and I think grabbing a second hand phone and installing graphene on it is a great idea

I’ve also heard they’re teaming up with Motorola:

I call bad atheism “The Cult of the Void”. They believe that, after you die, there is just oblivion. They have no more empirical evidence for this than any other belief system

How about that your entire world is constructed based on your brain and if that goes so does everything else? You can even temporarily change your world with drugs, some people are born with naturally damaged brains, schizophrenics believe people are chasing them even when they’re not for example

It’s a bit like saying if you lose a leg it doesn’t go to another dimension it just dies, same thing with your brain, there is no evidence to suggest the synapses that compose and construct your world suddenly transform into some angel dust and transport you to another dimension

I’ve seen them reduce kids to tears, framing death as a terrifying and brutal thing.

Why would death be scary? You get a free preview every night 😃

Bro, several users have taken to the Firefox subreddit, this is definitely worthy of being the most upvoted post on Lemmy rn
