I didn't declare it, it was a question, but thanks for slandering me as a conspiracy theorist

Where is the conspiracy theory?

Where is the conspiracy theory?

So is this the way the government takes control of the AI, next OpenAI will have new but familiar owners from Raytheon and the other Pentagon crowd?

Is the world really that black and white? An unemployed person got a job, is he supposed to decline because someone else didn't want to go to their job because collective bargaining is more important than having a job?

That sounds a lot of computing power to record and use language detection on everything the device hears, not to mention storage and bandwidth, that many actions should leave a trail somewhere.

Gutenberg built in, wp import/export optional, this is the whole story of WP in my mind.

I play a lot of games where you need the wiki, so I use it regularly. Before the new update it was slow as molasses, I don't know if it was the rendering or some memory management issues, but it was like IE 11 in experience, especially when the site has heavy javascript, but it's decent since the latest update.

Well before Steam's latest update, it was terribad too, their web engine they used could hardly handle a simple website, but I'm pretty happy about the latest update, took them 12 years or so, so maybe Epic will get on it on 2030?

Yeah it's true that the software support is a limiting factor also, but some manufacturers are better with it than others, like Nokia (HMD Global) which is why I use their phones. I change phones every five years, my current one is about to get to that so I'm on the market for replacement so it's on the top of my mind. My current one is a 250 euro model and I have been happy with it, but I don't game or do any heavy tasks with it so my experience is different, but I'm pretty sure that if I did game or do other tasks I would have had to change my phone way earlier, maybe even three years is pushing in this price bracket.

And I'm not making a blanket statement that higher price is equal to longer lasting, I'm fairly sure the foldable phones lose in average situations to non foldable ones just out of differences in usage and construction, and gaming phones with active cooling I guess too.

I like to buy products that I'm fairly confident I can use for a long time and/or repair, for example I bought a Dissim lighter just because of that reason even if I don't need a lighter that much. And I would like to buy a phone like the Nokia ones that have good repairability and replacement parts you can buy. But the problem with gadgets like phones is that they always are middle range models, which doesn't gel well with the assumption that you are going to use them for a long time, preferably longer than the average phone. In this regard, it's actually better to buy the flagship phone because they are often good quality and remain usable for the longest period of time if they aren't accidentally broken.

So this angle really doesn't make sense to me, they either have to start offering products that compete with the flagship models, or try something like Framework is doing with laptops?

There are thousands of genuinely genius level people buying beach front properties, and climate change isn't that hard of a concept to grasp, even school children get it. And that is exactly the reason why I'm asking what I'm asking, are we all just living in a delusion, waiting and hoping for something to fix stuff and we avoid catastrophe? Nobody is asking how are we going to evacuate the entire population of Bangladesh because that might become a reality in a lifetime, nor are they asking what will happen to my ten million beach front property if the sea level and weather patterns actually get so bad that it's either washed away or just basically worthless because nobody will buy a property in a disaster zone.

But looks like everybody hates this question.

Where are all the people who are talking about how to prepare for the future? There are couple of billion people living near shores in very crowded areas, is there nothing planned or are we still hoping that if we do something the emergency will just fade away? Also, why are very smart people buying islands and land near the beach if there is an emergency, are they also hoping that we will fix this in time and their expensive investments are going to be ok?

I'm in the camp of what ever it is that we can sufficiently predict, we should also prepare for it, like it isn't likely that some space rock is going to hit earth in the next yew years, but it's a sufficient enough probability that there is work being done to track them and at least have plants on what to do if it comes to that, but this is not the case with climate change.

Well, at least all the channels from my country are either public or advertisement funded channels that you can see for free, can you give some examples of pirated content?

It's time to stop populist drivel like this, if this was just a political decision that was easy to implement and had only positive impacts, it would have been done decades ago, but just like "let's end crime" and "end hunger" this is just another populist political message to basically lie to people and I'm fed with this stuff. Truth truly took the back seat in the past decade.
