If something is purely defensive and incapable of harming anyone else then it’s not really a “weapon” at all. It would be more like… I don’t know… A really big shield?

It’s a nice thought on paper but I don’t think a big shield being put up is going to convince any other country to stop producing more weapons.

It may actually lead to them producing more powerful weapons if they think they need to get past a big-ass shield now

To make sure you will follow directions without question even if they don’t make any sense

I don’t get why I’m getting down voted lol they asked if anyone had done it and I answered 🤷‍♂️

I don’t even get why companies are still pushing smart glasses. There’s no legitimate use for them on the consumer market. There’s already legislation being put into place to restrict what they can do because people immediately started using them for criminal activity. They’re just an obnoxious annoyance to everyone who isn’t wearing them 99% of the time.

Yes

I’ve never heard anything bad about Nvidia but it’s certainly possible that they could also be horrible

It’s so expensive I didn’t really bother to check.

I’m currently looking up how to run streaming services on my Raspberry Pi 5

Great, 3 other ethically terrible companies or a 4th option that costs $150 per television… What a wealth of options!

Great… Now there’ll probably be a $35 monthly fee just for having the damned thing plugged into the back of the TV and it will come with a mandatory enrollment in Truth+ and Fox Nation 🤮

Aww, that’s kind of sweet that you actually think the billionaires who run the world would let everyone just have an easy happy life…

When there’s no need for people to exploit for labor anymore theyll have a good hearty laugh watching us all starve to death before they’ll let anyone just have something for free even if there’s no longer any real need for money.

The people who are heavily invested in AI advancement have no interest in saving the world, their only interest is in power, and the warm fuzzy feeling they get knowing that they’re the best.

AI is going to pay off my mortgage, pay all of my bills, and force stores to give me stuff for free?

I’d say finding any worthwhile hobby or activity that stops you from pointlessly trolling like this would probably help unrot your brain 👍

Wtf are you babbling about now?

I would no longer have a job.

I certainly hope not.

Yeah, that’s just weird. Why can’t they call him something respectable like “daddy” like the Republicans do? That’s totally not super weird or creepy to the point of being disturbing!

I’m sure a ton of people will show up to sit in 90°F heat and heavy rain. They won’t even notice the pool!

At this point it’s kind of amazing to me that anyone is surprised by any of Reddit’s bullshit anymore. The CEO basically came right out and said he doesn’t care about anything except how much money he can exploit the users for even to the detriment of the user experience.

When the company’s motto becomes “you’ll take what you get and like it AND pay me for the opportunity” what else can you really expect?

DENTAL PLAN!

I wonder if my insurance considers “not being immortal” to be a preexisting condition 🤔

It depends.

If we’re lucky and lemmy is more of less left to its own devices then we’ll probably get a few more users as Reddit keeps getting more and more awful.

If we’re not lucky then either Reddit or Meta will decide that lemmy needs to be somehow incorporated into their services wether we like it or not and we’ll be inundated with a deluge of the worst possible kinds of users. Spam bots, trolls, scammers, people trying to use it for their crappy MLM schemes etc.

Only time will tell!
