Techology that is already released to the world isn't intrinsically tied to the success of some tech companies

You didn't really answer the question though, how are you not nervous about your job security and how do you still see any value in software that you make with almost 0 effort?

Stupid question: in the benchmark diagrams I'm assuming the values are percentiles, so what does 100% represent?

I think in nyc I'd prefer to lock my $100 dumper of a bike on the street and be able to take the expensive component with me, if this thing is as detachable as it seems

We need marketing for working class laypeople, esp on the right, to understand what's happening on our web, our devices and on our streets and why they should care. I don't think I've seen this type of marketing for this demographic land in any meaningful way yet

All the conditions you describe are a graphic designer's wet dream, I love it

Hm but the drugs are only evidence because they're illegal? So the phone owner only destroyed evidence if the phone contained something illegal, but innocent until proben guilty?

"Can" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there

> It's still worth it to avoid becoming massively reliant on centralized services.

This isn't really good enough. Many of us need to get things done in a pinch and if our employers are already getting used to the idea of paying for enterprise subscriptions to cloud llm's then the local option needs to be good

That really pissed me off. Why do people continute to pretend they can predict the future

Musk supported the pretense of free speech online when he bought the bird website. Again, it's just letting them see the marketing benefit, not convincing them to actually care (assuming that's impossible)

>and by the time batteries wear out, most people are going to want a new a phone

That remains to be seen. This could accelerate cultural change around desiring shiny new toy being seen as cool

Idk, it seems like the marketing process on tiktok doesn't constitute trying to get people to go out of their way to interact/click with your content, tiktok users are just involuntarily fed content on some level (you don't know what the next autoplayed video will be)... how can it not be trival to manipulate that userbase with, in this case, a band whose music is just-good-enough for mass appeal?

That's mostly been my job since I started around 2010 haha
