You misspelled "intrusive".

He had WiFi or 4G on the aircraft carrier? I don't think so.

And if the Strava app uploaded the logged run later when it got connectivity at port or something, by then the ship was long gone.

> "The cloud" just means "Somebody elses C: drive"

Nah. Nobody is dumb enough to run a cloud service on Windows.

Keep your energy to provide it to Canadians for cheaper. The US has plenty of oil and coal I've been told.

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.

Norwegian here, can confirm ...

Air has gotten significantly better in urban areas in the last decade. Given that about half the cars on the road now are electric - it's not only measurable, but very very smellable.

Whenever I go abroad now, I can *smell* the difference.

> "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.

I'm afraid the battery powered busses in Oslo, Norway are dogshite during cold winters. We've been complaining about them for years. Same issue as described in this article. Pushed through before tech was properly ready.

And I'm saying that as an electric car loving Norwegian who has two electric cars and wouldn't go back to fossil cars no matter what. :P

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.
