    health insurance != healthcare

    health insurance profits only exist at the expense of human suffering.

    but lets make sure everyone has insurance but not care

    All DST and time zones should be removed and we should only have one global time. People in different locations would just get up at different times on the clock. Communication about times would get so much easier, communication about schedules would get so much easier. “The same time every week” would have an actual meaning all year around regardless of any notions about getting up later relative to local sunrise in the darker time of the year.

      This solves making the statement “let’s meet at 5” be more clear globally, but doesn’t solve the actual confusion. Person A getting up hours before normal, being in the middle of person B’s day, and being when person C would go to bed still happens. All it does is destroy any frame of reference and make travel more difficult. You would still need a chart to know if any time was actually during waking or business hours at each location on earth.

      Fair, for the price you have gotten decent value over the years. You’re right in that your opinion might not be popular here, considering all the replies you got.

      I’m through with vendor lock-in so console gaming isn’t for me, but there are indeed some upsides.

      They definitely both have pros and cons. After sitting in front of a computer all day for work, sometimes I just wanna sit on the couch and play some Spiderman without having to deal with connecting my gaming desktop to the big screen.

      I mean, if console is jailbroken then yes, it has most of the benefits, but if not then most of the world can buy only few games in month at most, and some can’t buy at all, gamepass is a lifesaver in that sense, you can buy it for 50$ per year if you buy from resellers

    What we’re currently calling AI isn’t AI but just a language processing system that takes its best guess at a response from it’s database of information they pilfered from the internet like a more sophisticated Google.

    It can’t really think for itself and it’s answers can be completely wrong. There’s nothing intelligent about it.

    People are crazy when they promote closed-source AI (okay, okay, generative model) projects like ChatGPT, Bard etc.

    This is literally one of the most important technologies of the future, and after all the times technology companies screwed them (us) up big time and monopolized the Internet, they go into the same trap again and again.

    First they surrendered the free Internet, now they surrender the new frontiers.

    Wake up, people. Go HuggingFace, advocate for free AI, and ideally - for a GPL one. We cannot afford for this part of our future to be taken away from us.

    Not a single one of the Marvel movies are good. They just use dopaminergic techniques to teach brains to enjoy them.

      Can you elaborate on your second sentence? Not trying to be ignorant, but it genuinely sounds like “ice cream doesn’t taste good, it just has ingredients that makes your taste buds act favorable towards it”
