With your current phone, go ahead and take two pictures - one normal, the other a picture of a picture of that thing
Now look at the two, and tell me you can’t tell in a split second that one is a picture of a picture. There’s a reason that it’s a running joke on the internet that people need to learn to take real screenshot instead of taking a picture of the monitor - there’s always annoying and obvious artifacts.
100% agree, without it, the decentralization aspect is severely weakened
Yeah honestly hearing it describes as being full of neo Nazis is wild lol, it’s almost more left leaning than Lemmy
Poor people don’t really want things - you need a certain level of cash flow to qualify as a proper person with dreams and feelings, haven’t you heard?
Drinking coffee from my Moccamaster as I type 👌
Only drip machine I’ve found that can rival a good Ole fashioned pourover
I’m pretty sure the whole “iPhone as a status symbol” thing is a thing of the past - I literally can’t remember anytime in the last 5 years that anyone expressed envy at someone owning a iphone.
I’d argue that yearly upgrades regardless of phone brand are more of the status symbol now
on this site at least - you’re absolutely right, and the fact that you’re getting bombed with downvotes is pretty solid anecdotal evidence of that if nothing else lol
Don’t get me wrong, I get just as annoyed by those who insist Apple can do no wrong as those who insist they can do no right. I just find it weird how pseudo-religious people can get about Apple. It seems like you’re not allowed to just view them as another tech company. You have to either crusade against them, or else you’re a paid apple shill
They 100% did
Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to gripe about with apple, just like every tech company, but I swear half the complaints I hear about Apple products on lemmy are either outdated or just plain wrong
For some reason the anti-Apple circle jerk is supercharged on Lemmy. I’ll never understand why people get themselves so worked up over a brand they never have to do business with
So, what? We’re just straight up making shit up about Mac now when trashing it on Lemmy?
Its literally been over a decade since the last time Apple charged for an OS update
Git and a script file that’s basically just a ton of ln - s commands
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever found myself wanting more
Blame Hollywood - every movie programmer is just a natural savant (probably on the spectrum) who operates a computer in more or less the exact same way a wizard operates a wand
stop getting all your info about AI and it’s current/upcoming capabilities from mainstream news media my dude lol
We’re nowhere close to what you describe, and even we were, that wouldn’t be the same thing as “open source”, since you could only do it to code you have access to. You couldn’t - for example, use it to get a copy of the Reddit/Facebook server-side source code
That's awesome, but the real question is - will we be able to buy one for MSRP?
No one will convince me that there isn’t money laundering going on there. There’s just no way an actual person looked at that and thought it is worth that kind of money
Yup, wrappers for everything you didn’t build yourself. That way when you inevitably have to switch vendors, you can simply write a new wrapper using the same interface, minimal changes necessary
Upper right reminds me of this absolute classic

this - but unironically
I don’t think 3 monitors qualifies necessarily as “too many” under what I was saying before - I also have 3 monitors, one ultrawide and two portrait monitors on either side. I can see everything I need with only miniscule head movements, and I make a point of keeping my main focus work on the center display, to avoid neck strain.
My point there was directed mainly at the people who want VR workspaces so they can be surrounded in a sphere of monitors
Except smart phone cameras will also improve - if anything, I’d say that over the last decade, the average smart phone camera has improved at a much faster rate than your average computer monitor.
Combine what I said with all the other Metadata that will be collected, and I’m quite skeptical that you could fool an actual professional with your scheme.
