So, are people picking their battles by practically bullying others into thinking they’re wrong and outdated? They could simply ignore people talking about phone jacks, but they don’t. They’re not picking battles. They’re actively fighting, and on the corps’ side.

Also, there’s always a bigger battle. If we think like this, no one will ever do anything. Corporations don’t go all in. They take things away from us one small step at a time, and people allow it, because they’re always small things, but just like boiling frogs, we will end up into a cyberpunk era.

Every time someone mentions the headphone jack, comes a legion of people defending the corporations. People will really accept anything they do and bully the ones who don’t want to submit. That’s impressive! And we’re in a place with higher-than-average corporation haters.

It’s even more impressive when we think about how Bluetooth earphone users don’t gain anything by removing the jack, neither lose anything by keeping it. It literally doesn’t affect them, but heavily affects anyone who uses wired phones or other stuff. People simply use their energy against others, in favor of corporations for absolutely no benefits for them, but simply for fucking the other people. I can’t understand this behavior.

Computer works or computer does not. There’s no computer try.

Considering only the queries ommits all the energy used in training models, scraping and preparing data and all the indirect energy from putting a greater load in servers all around the world from scraping them all the time. oh, and all the energy in the manufacturing processes of the hardware, and from building the servers. We must consider the consumption of the industry as a whole, or we’re being biased as well.

Articles keep showing up explaining how queries aren’t so power-hungry, but the corporations keep draining more and more energy, building more and more power plants that never keep up with the demand, and so on.

The food aren’t betraying you. YOU betrayed the food when you ate only the ones bad for your health to the point that led your body to not handle it anymore, while the healthy food was at your side all the time, but was ignored

How do normal people survive?

Simple. They know a fix-it-all tech person that will help them!

I’m not even kidding, that’s how communities grew strong all over the world for millennia, and still do, on smaller scales, depending on the place. People create a network of specialists in each domain, and one calls the other when needed. Sometimes they pay for the work, sometimes they exchange favors, sometimes they just help for free. If you go to smaller neighborhoods in developing countries, you will see this in action all the time.

Part of the success of large corporations and the spread of consumerist culture comes from promoting an extremely individualistic lifestyle and destroying people’s networks and relationships.

Don’t they release microplastics as well?

This can look like a joke for some, but it’s actually true. For anyone skeptical, search fr academic articles on the matter and see it for yourself.

Thank you for taking your time to write this and to find a few resources. I will give it a deep read and try to better understand it.

The best ones imo. No microplastics, zero maintenance, extreme durability, not hard to wash and not so expensive nowadays.

My grandmother still uses her stainless steel pans that are like 50 or 60 yo, and they still look perfect, almost like new, if not for the scratches. They were a gift when she married, and she literally never bought pans for herself in her life.

My wired cheap phones that I used almost daily for online meetings and calls is 11 yo, and still works normally. I doubt a cheap wireless would be close to last that much. I don’t even treat it with obsessive care or anything.

I floss every day. Installed libreoffice just this morning.

I really want to understand this, but I don’t find constructive information anywhere. Everything I read either doesn’t really explain anything at all and is based on assumptions/opinions, or expect me to be a mobile os engineer.

Let’s say I have a phone with lineageos, without google play services and without gapps, with most apps installed via f-droid and only a couple from aurora store. What power does google have over me, that wouldn’t also have if I used a pixel with grapheneos?

In terms of security, If any threat involving physical access to the phone is statistically irrelevant for me, how is my phone less secure than stock android? And how would grapheneos improve my life?

By less secure I mean lineageos or /e/os. How does it miss the point entirely?

We neurodivergents have it even harder than most people, and the “simple” things we don’t do as teenagers but are obliged to do as adults can be extremely overwhelming. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and I’m glad you managed to finish your pot lights.
