and all the disgusting corporations putting profits above people's livelihoods along with it.

That is all.

I run Debian 13 and Chromium has been available as a package for a long time.

So I'm not sure why you would want to wait for Google to release Chrome on ARM, since it's essentially Chromium with Google's nastyware added to it. Just use Chromium.

Now I definitely know I don't want a Galaxy phone as my next phone.

Big Tech will buy the latest and greatest in power generation / suppliers, and the general population will be left with the legacy power infrastructure that will keep on aging and becoming more and more obsolete, because domestic power isn't where the big money is.

You can shove your dystopian future where the sun don't shine, is what I think.

Big Tech is rolling out high-speed mobile data so the dead internet can flow easier.

It's Department of Defense, you fucking fascist collaborator.

> "Good enough" is exactly the reason that AI is upending the world of white collar work. It might not replace a skilled and experienced employee, but it's good enough.

I don't necessarily have a problem with that. The problem is, skilled workers only become skilled after being inexperienced for a while and gaining experience. If you cut junior, unskilled workers from the job market, you won't have skilled workers in a few years.

In other words, company that adopt AI to avoid paying unskilled labor are shooting themselves in the foot.

Whether you like AI or not, if your profession is about to be obsoleted by AI, AI Is factually bad for you.

Beyond that, it's up to you to decide if it's worth paying a talented human writer to report on local events in a local rag. Most of those newspapers are strictly utilitarian and simply inform the locals of what's happening in their communities. I've never seen any of them dabble in gonzo.

And well, journalism is like football: most professional footballers play in minor leagues and don't earn much, and only a vanishingly small minority earns top dollar playing incredible matches watched by millions.

High-flying journalists writing for classy newspapers will most certainly keep writing their own stuff. But the mundane will probably be taken over by AI because mediocre is good enough for the money.

I should have written "90% of people have the SAME abnormal thing". I've been thoroughly out-pedanted. Well done Sir :)

If 99% of people have something abnormal, isn't it in fact the norm?

Open the link in a new tab to avoid that problem.

But yes, you're right, it's yet another problem with infinite scrolling.

Infinite scrolling == infinite memory usage.

Whenever I go to some forum that's heavy on pictures and videos that has infinite scrolling, and I'm looking far down the page for something or other, eventually my browser slows to a crawl, or the browser's resource-hungry JS engine crashes, and that's the end of the scrolling.

Certain sites I patronize that have the stupid infinite scrolling also have the classic &page= HTTP GET mechanism. On those sites, every once in a while, I reload the entire page with a &page= corresponding to roughly where I am in the infinite scrolling, just to reset it and free up some memory.

It's not the UI paradigm that bothers me, it's the resource usage insanity.

It's very telling that you think someone who relocated to Europe "struck it rich" and "lives with the elite": it show how much of a dump you think America is in comparison.

Even if their island becomes 100% hostile to all life, the Icelanders can always power artificial life with the free energy they're blessed with: the uninterrupted source of heat coming from the bowels of the Earth.

They're in a quasi-unique position of not really having to worry about climate change, if worse comes to worst.
