was going to ask op why he was insisting but now i’m more curious: why are you still here? xD

i mean fair enough for the older generation, but i’m assuming most people on here would be under 40?

also is anyone actually pro russia left now? worst divide is probably wether they support palestine or bury their heads in the sand about it afaik? i guess the oldies will soon retire as well :fingerscrossed:

ngl i’m always miffed when people don’t even consider the actual left (you know, the party that’s literally called that and now shitty sarah has also left!) as an option and use it as an excuse to vote in some other corpo tool ):

i’m giving openrouter a try now, has most of the models so good for comparing, but token based pricing, curious if that ends up becoming too pricy… although maybe not with a harness like pi! claude code will send 50k tokens in tools for a simple ‘ping’ o.O

self hosted 30B qwen is actually suprisingly capable as well! and glm-4.7 flash (q4_k_m) fits on my gpu and is great (but tends to get into infinite loops :( )

fair enough, corrected!

also, who is openly pride, alice or her wife? apparently they also have some kids and are in a civil partnership, but she does oppose same sex marriage (because ‘tradition’ of course?). i always have that mental gymnastics meme in my head when i read about her or hear her speak… x)

the german far right leader (female) is married to an indian sri lankan woman and when asked about how that relates to her plans of deporting brown people she said her wife ‘does not count because she was adopted by a white family in switzerland’

i mean, they also run a populist platform aimed at poor people with a libertarian program to wipe out social assistance though, so why am i even suprised by the hypocrisy?

the funny thing is though that there were apparently studies that show that younger folks especially have an AI-dar

and “that’s so AI” has become a term for kitsch haha

(kinda replying to your the machines have won replies)

there are no ‘machines’ that will ‘win’ anything… the only way ‘ai can win’ is by normalising it, by forgetting the costs (environmental and human) of using it, as well as those who benefit from it’s use (the people who stand to win something).

what you’re calling for is exactly that (being complacant about it) and it’s probably why people get upset…?

p.s. i do agree that we should approach each other with more love and understanding and probably inform more than shame. i’m truly believe most people are just lazy or curious, not actively malicious.

btw, the way you keep calling everyone a peasent is really not helping your case imho xD

errm, no thank you mr mobilek? xD

lol, literally got fwded two tweets by seperate anthropic employees that copypasta-d each other’s “sincere personal message” (both accenting how it’s “not a marketing stunt!”)… how dumb is this gonna get before it finally blows over?

damn, i read “goodbye a/i” and missed the apostrophe (':

x4 has backlight, the new ones (v5? x4.5?) dropped it again for some reason? i got an original for myself and the backlight one for my wife actually :D

a fair, didn’t read that properly! guess for tablet replacement that does sound nice, but for reading i think i’d still prefer something like the xteink (actually very curious if the size will be an issue but i always hate how heavy the paperwhite feels)

i have no data on it, but i’d honestly doubt you’d get much power savings when watching video?

also high refresh rate displays were stupidly expensive last time i checked. there is, after all, just a single company making them…

why would you run android on eink anyway? refresh rates are garbage for anything but reading and owning a distraction free device is one of the biggest upsides of ereaders, for me anyway

i did root my kindle (got it as a present) and even a terminal is horrid to use… actually just ordered an xteink and really looking forward to an unlocked bootloader from the factory ^^

p.s. also i just got an email that they released a newer version which seems to have a better soc (don’t read comics but if that’s a reason maybe they’re already improving on that) edit: and it’s still half the price, most of which is probably the display itself tbf D:

nah, same-ish in eu… i tend to go for the really low end (motorola usually has a phone for about 100-200€) cos i only really use lemmy, calls, messaging and bank (the one that doesn’t let me switch to custom full time D:) and they usually last me at least 2 years… don’t think a flagship would last me 10 tbh x)

the saddest part is that we normalised 650$ phones being ‘mid-range’

thank you mr mobilek!

what would happen is people would figure out it’s bs xD
