So if it’s only because of intense, prolonged, daily concentration, then wouldn’t things like video games, watching TV, or even just a normal day of work at a white collar job count? Does taking a long drive count? How about studying for a test?

Yea, he better watch out or he’s gonna get a $6000 fine instead of $5000.

America bad. Alaska ok.

Because it has ad blockers built in, has Tor built in, blocks trackers by default, and is very upfront and open about how they use your data if you choose to let them. A big part of what this article misses is that the feature is opt-in. It is turned off by default. Some people are weird and want personalized ads, in which case this feature is a hell of a lot more secure than other browsers who have to opt-out of tracking and don’t give a shit about your PII.

Oh wait, I forgot where I was. Umm, I mean… Brave bad! Bad browser!

No it’s not. I mean, maybe if you’re dumb and can’t recognize fake shit, which, from the looks of this comment thread, it appears Lemmy has started down that path.

It’s the “in a bikini” part that’s a dead giveaway. That’s not a detail that would be included in a real headline. That’s extra added to make the situation seem more ridiculous and silly. It’s crazy I even have to point this out, its painfully obvious to me.

Because, shockingly, Discords user base is not made up of people hyper focused on tech and decentralization and open source software. It’s mostly people who just want to play video games with their friends.

Roman roads didnt have fleets of semi’s driving over them at 100+ kph every day. Do that for a few years on a Roman road and see how well it holds up

And if all your friends are hyper focused on tech and decentralization and open source software, they should have no problem switching!

If, on the other hand, you have friends who fall into the rest of the 99.9% of society, they will react like you suggested they replace all their meals with raw potatoes.

Every time I see a picture of a quantum computer, it just looks like a bunch of Galileo thermometers bundled together. So maybe you’re on to something lol

A goal to work toward. A hope that if we keep fighting, there will eventually be a future where people don’t have to fight. That there is a path toward humanity reaching it’s peak, rather than an endless sisyphian struggle until our extinction.

It’s not “things could be fine without struggle or setbacks”, Star Trek makes it VERY clear that it was not a smooth and easy path toward fully automated gay space communism. It’s history of humanity is riddled with wars and uprisings and cultural slides backwards. But there is the idea that there could be a better future someday. Where greed and inequality are almost foreign concepts in society. Where science and reason finally win out against superstition and ignorance.

It may be a fantasy, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hold onto a belief that things will not always just continue to be shitty forever. Never forget the words that can make a happy man’s joy turn to ash, or a sad man’s misery into hope:

This too shall pass.

It just feels wrong. It’s like having superman act like homelander. Even if the message is “things shouldn’t be this way”, you are tarnishing a symbol of hope and optimism. People like Star Trek, especially these days, because it gives them hope of a better future, beyond the struggles and corruption of modern society; where justice isn’t just an abstract concept that has to be fought for every day. Where competence and intelligence is rewarded, and corruption and prejudice is not tolerated.

To take that and twist it by going “actually the future is shitty and still full of fascism and it will always be an uphill battle” is just soul crushing.

AMD is also in Israel. As is Intel.

I like giving it impossible tasks, like spell OPERATION with only 4 letters, and arguing with it as it refuses to just admit that I’m wrong and have requested something impossible, or when it tries to cut corners. “No, I don’t want an abbreviation, or a word that means the same thing, I want you to spell the full word OPERATION with only 4 letters. Why can’t you get this right?”

Name a single country that doesn’t have blood on its hands.

But what if they come with cat ears and they call me a good boy?

Don’t breathe this!

Seriously some of the best marketing. I know almost jack shit about blenders, but as soon as I saw this post, I immediately thought of Blendtec. Why?

Because I watched the owner demonstrate many times that his blender could turn things like smartphones, other blenders, and even an entire fucking rake into powder. If I’m shopping for a blender, I think I’ll go with the one good enough to literally blend other blenders.

Too fucking stupid to recognize that people can’t predict the future. Too fucking stubborn to accept that you’re wrong when people point out what broken, dumbass logic you’re trying to use. You’re fucking cooked mate. Maybe get some sleep or grab a snack before you keep trying for the “Dumbest Comment of the Month” award.
