But I went to use OpenOffice, not watch it do its thing in the background…

I like reading those actually. Its always interesting to see people leave and why they do it. And many of the reasons can be summed up with how its not worth it anymore.

Since i left tech myself after 25 years also. :)

Techno fascism is a thing. But thats not why I left. I just didnt like AI being forced into the culture. Changed the entire profession from creating solutions to asking for solutions.

They have nothing consumers want.

Yeah but foss has its own problems. Mainly financing. People are expected to work for free on most open source projects, and some do because they enjoy it. I do that myself too. Its fun.

But foss doesnt create products that require a lot of funding to get off the ground.

Its nice with chat bots like chat gpt but companies who bet on their own Ai… Or who believe they will be the next billion dollar Ai startup… I dont believe in any of that.

I think we pretty much have seen what is going to come from Ai. Chat bots. People will pay for those, specially programmers. But also other people. Outside of that… I cant see much value to pay for. Nothing in fact.

To me, I dont care if my friends remember my birthday. I care if they are genuine friends and I have good conversations and laughs around them.

Someone remembering your birthday is just them putting a reminder in the calendar. Doesnt mean much, not to me at least.

So you have an actual human connection to these people? Friends could have a laugh over forgetting someones birthday, because its built on a real connection that doesnt go away over missing the small things.

Unfortunately probably temporary. Digg is very unlikely to be a better reddit. They dont have the content or the users.

I dont know if historic data is very interesting. Its the new content we are interested in…

Somehow i think this year will be about war, not tech dominance. Its peak Trump now.

Haha actually that was a mistake :) I meant to upvote you!

Fixed.

Thank you. :)

Yeah thats true, but not sure if that happened here. :)

The internet is always right except when its not.

Lemmy world moderators… :)

Gotta get that comment killed, may offend 0.0001% of Lemmy audience.

I dont know what you removed but 78 and 35 upvotes means it was pretty good.

You basically are removing good content from Lemmy, making it worse. :) Just because one person reports something doesnt mean the comment is bad, you know?

Could be the person. In this case, most likely it was.

He is almost always right. He just expresses it in a way that hurts people a lot, and thats something he needs to work on. The term toxic is over used but yeah, he was very rude, insensitive, and offensive sometimes.

I just love Linus way of being super honest. Mostly he is 100% correct also.

The thing is, people dont want to offend eachother, so they work on these projects like Ai guidelines even though they already know exactly what Linux says here about only good actors using this.

They just want to get along. This is common in enterprise too where people work on dumb things just to get along also. They value no conflicts more than being right.

The human mind will replace whats natural with technology.

Depends on who you follow, specially on YouTube. There are lots of small channels that just make videos about how they feel and how to improve yourself, for example.

I subscribe to all of those small channels with an interest that i share. Then youtube feels like when it started. Just ordinary people talking and not acting in front of camera.

When do they rename Edge to Copilot Explorer. :)

Haha that is actually even more funny. :)
