Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.

I’d argue it’s one of their core beliefs. Almost a requirement to be a MAGA is to be a hypocrite.

Why have one device or why desktop mode?

One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.

Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.

I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.

I’ve been wanting a phone that can dock and be used as a full fledged desktop since smartphones first came out. Samsung Dex apparently comes close, but is too limited in terms of the desktop app side.

You’re missing a critical part of the apples analogy. When apples start to rot, they release ethylene gas which is a plant hormone that accelerates aging in nearby fruits.

So by the time you found the rotten apple, it has already spoiled the bunch.

Analogies aren’t perfect, but they usually get the point across. Maybe the “one bad apples spoils the bunch” sits better? Apples are indivisible like people.

Glad to see Texas doing some good here.

Are you implying GP is MAGA type? I’m more wondering if they’re some type of bot. Every single comment is nearly identical in that style. I’ve learned to pi k it out and pretty much ignore the content of the comment at this point.

Gotta start somewhere, and it won’t ever improve if we don’t start improving it. So many on Lemmy assume the tech will never be good enough so why even bother, but that’s why we do things, to make the world that much better… eventually. Why else would we plant literal trees? For those that come after us.

Why do You KEEP Commenting like this?

Are there any studies done (or benchmarks) that show accuracy on recommendations for treatments given a medical history and condition requiring treatment?

Bridging the gap is something sorely needed and LLMs are damn close to achieving.

This GUYS’ Comment History.

This is something that directly impacts Lemmy and all Fediverse. Section 230 makes the hosting provider not liable for things their users post as long as they remove offending material (I don’t know the specifics, IANAL). Eroding section 230 is like pulling the ladder up behind the behemoth providers like YouTube. New small time services will essentially be illegal.

Isn’t this what slavery is for? /s

Is that what killed the brainworm? Fuck

Trying to apply logic to any future (let alone current) actions of this administration is an exercise in futility.

Sounds like they are refusing to show ID in a lot of cases (not sure if they refused here), so they are likely private citizens masquerading as officers.

Be the change you wish to see in this world

You’re assuming competence is part of the equation. Some passive resistance of the operators could make this viable.
