Hot take, maybe? LLMs and AI are not inherently bad. It really comes down to:
The companies that run them and how they act.
The insane impact that blind trust has on multiple financial markets.
The horrible environmental impact of unchecked, unregulated growth with minimal thought put into solutions.
Hallucination is also a bad side effect but I don't really consider that a real downside as long as you know how to use the tool (and recognize that it is a tool in the first place).
We don't need live action remakes of every animated movie. We need more animated movies.
Alright, I know I'm late to the party but I'm just starting Vox Machina and I get it now.
In order to switch to a #Linux phone running something like nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqwvrzracnazg6z2xmqec4eszja9g6enkuctm454qkt8jwqg8gyczqzxaz5z, I'd really only need a few things:
Reasonably good battery life. Probably the biggest one.
Consistently working calls and text messages.
A good working web browser.
Maybe some basic local tools like a calendar, notes, and maps.
I think that's basically it. Everything else I think I could reasonably compromise on. Most things can be done from the web browser. Android app compatibility would be nice, but I personally don't feel the need to run things like my banking app on my Linux phone. Obviously I'd like more, but this is the baseline experience that I'd need.
I know that hardware compatibility and battery life are extremely difficult without manufacturer support, and I figure until we have that, these won't be reasonable requests.
Nvidia being the number one company in the world just solidifies how stupid it all is. It's all imaginary numbers and promises.
What do data brokers do with your data when you die? Is it still useful in any way? I've never looked into it.

New goal: I'll be deleting my Facebook account at the end of the month. I've just posted an update letting my friends know. I'll be sending out messages trying to collect as many phone numbers as possible. After that, whatever happens happens.
I'm still not sure whether I'll keep my Reddit account. I do use that for work every so often. But I can always create a new one just for work.
