there’s no way people are already nostalgic for touch screen phones.https://www.reddit.com/r/FrutigerAero/comments/1q246sx/2000s_to_2010s_nostalgia/
>>107743316many people buy retro phones like iphone 4 to play games of that era.
>>107744653calling iphone 4 "retro" makes me feel old

For fuck sake zoomers are now being nostalgic about the early era of smartphones.
Closed source software is not the same as patent protected software. Releasing a offline usable closed source binary under no license is so much more ethical then a proprietary (patent) license that threatens people with prison time and civil liability for sharing/modifying software or using it the wrong way. Also the addition of spyware sometimes and cloud tethering. Which I also oppose.But it seems TMK that Stallman may conflate offline usable closed source and patented software as if they are both as bad. but maybe some people know more about him then I do, Does he recognize the difference and what does /g/ think of the difference? I'm saying I strongly agree with Stallman big tech patent hoarding and patent trolling is harmful, and and I view the GPL3 like a voluntary contract programmers agree to participate in and hope to abolish all patents one day, but I'm not following his logic that seems to hint at closed source software being illegal as an ultimate goal. Patents should be illegal but not software with no public code.
>>107736639You are retarded and don't understand the point of software freedom
>>107741960>get the jab,goyim! and remember about your mask!>her body her choice! Now stay back so I can abort your children, goyim!>Pedophilia is good actually, me raping your kids won't hurt them, trust me, goyim!>Now repeat with me, I AM FREE!Right, goyim?
>>107737754my brain had a malfunction I conflated patented software and copyright software with heavy restrictions. I think all copyright should be replaced with non disclosure and public agreements. NDA for closed source among a team of developers. And the GPL3 and BSD reimagined as a public contract that activates whenever someone modifies GPL code.Honestly if it was just copyright laws preventing sharing of software I wouldn't care. What pisses me off is how ideas are protected by the state. In example Adobe held a 20 year patent on adjustment layers, or Namco patenting the loading screen mini games. Or how some licenses say you can't legally modify the software even in your home or only they can fix the hardware. Similar to right to repair laws. That is what I am against.It just seems that Stallman views it as a human right to modify other people's software, that is where I disagree. Its a voluntary agreement of people participating in GPL3 software.>>107737922 Fact check them. Grok and DeepSeek do not understand but they do have very good fact checking abilities.https://www.reddit.com/r/GROKvsMAGA/The most likely hallucinations are when Grok gives something that sounds like an answer but is a complete fabrication. DeepSeek doesn't do that much at all but Grok does from time to time. Other then source checking the best thing to do is have the same conversation with different AIs several times and look for consistency and tell them to cite the sources.
>>107742247Just like people on Mastodon fall short of understanding freedom. The concept of positive vs negative liberty.Dude on Mastodon rails against software patents, big tech cloud tethering everyone's software, and supports local offline software use. I strongly agree with him there. Then I read more of his post and he goes on about how much he loves the EU and thinks that Government should pay all FOSS devs and how a massive welfare state is salvation. That's the point I diverge on. Its positive vs negative liberty and I have taken negative liberty to its logical conclusions. Where as the people on Mastodon and Stallman are mixing both in inconsistent ways. Stallman wants total digital sovereignty as do Ibut he also wants to keep the strong centralized government to provide welfare state creature comforts.I don't think you can have a Government that represents the people and as I cited in a previous post the EU is violating civil liberties while leftist on Mastodon celebrate them . Stallman expects both total privacy where Government doesn't know who you are and a massive welfare state to care for people. That is a huge logical contradiction he has. You can't have both and you must pick one, freedom or dependency! https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/107698501/#107700202https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/107561690/#107564545>>107737922When taking negative liberty to its extreme conclusion it would be better to live in a world without GPL3 licensing if it meant that most copyright and all patents were abolished since the early 90s onward. But we'd have to do that from the start, as like I said patents already gave capitalist pigs a huge advantage that can't be undone. The timeline we're in is fucked

/biz/ herre.How is AI not another dot-com bubble?What are its practical applications, aside from porn generation and helping high schoolers with their homework? How does it make money?
>>107740458Yeshttps://www.google.com/search?q=customers+are+now+actively+avoiding+things+that+are+advertised+with+AI&udm=14
>>107740275Microsoft is strong-arming companies into including copilot in their new volume licenses for Windows and Office products. There is an article somewhere where a sales rep just left the bargaining table when the customer refused to consider Copilot, because that’s the only thing they get bonuses for at the moment.Nobody is paying for this shit personally, it’s paid for by corporate, who justify it because it gets retard investor bucks flowing in, not because it had any proven productivity benefits. Being bean-counting retards, they then force it onto workers to try and maximise its value. It’s capacity to improve productivity is poorly proven, and some studies indicate it reduces productivity. Furthermore, it’s likely that the 300€ plans are still losing Microsoft money. OpenAIs 200USD/month plan makes a loss. With regards to data centres, Microsoft and Google might be able to tank the huge hit, much like giants like IBM and Cisco could tank the Dotcom bubble, but just because some people don’t die in a plague doesn’t make it a good thing. The exposure to risk that many investment firms (and by extension 401ks, banks, e.t.c.) are exposed to means the insane debt being taken out on vague deliverables will blow up catastrophically if it doesn’t work, and ripple through the rest of the economy, taking out businesses only tangentially related. The economy will stagnate and people will become poorer. This is not a good outcome.
>>107740616>like the space raceman but at least that was cool and some of the materials they invented during that became useful for everyday life. So far with AI, it just means there's now more slop in my life.
>>107740939What, significantly worse off? Advertised to every minute of the day, harvested for data, systematically priced out of owning any significant assets, left with an aging population that will not have enough young people to care for them? The average person is worse off now than they were in the 2000s. Furthermore, more specifically, the Dotcom bubble blew up numerous companies, fucked a lot of finances and stagnated the economy until 2006ish, when it was promptly blown up again for different retarded reasons. The web is not useless, but the valuations at the time were absolutely retarded, completely unattached from actual useful businesses. It was the insane financing, valuations and investment decisions that made the Dotcom bubble, not the tech itself being flawed or useless. People didn’t want to miss out on the next big thing, and then promptly blew up their money investing into shit they didn’t understand, but was being hyped by investors who knew they could be the lesser fool in a shit investment and cash out.
>>107737777>How is AI not another dot-com bubble?It probably is>What are its practical applications, aside from porn generation and helping high schoolers with their homework?Most useful application I can see is that it can be a better search engine, but the hallucination problem is intrinsic to this tech and also crippling to this use case, so it's all kinda meh in practice if you try to use it for real work where correctness and truth actually matter (let alone quality).>How does it make money?Right now it doesn't seem to make money at all. The tech is extremely expensive due to extreme hardware demand and like I said the actual productivity boost you get from it is dubious at best, at least in professions where truth and correctness matter. I think this is a serious flaw and it will continue to prevent these services from making any money.It might have some real applications in domains where correctness and truth do not matter. Unfortunately these are mostly the artistic pursuits where fiction reigns, though even there you need internal consistency which is kind of the same thing. Still if you AI generate some artwork and it's good, then it's good and there's no objective correctness to strive for.I could also see this sort of tech as something potentially cool if it can be applied properly to video games. I don't mean fully generating slop games or some shit, but including it as a mechanic. Imagine a game where the NPCs and the world can fully react to everything you do, or where you can have more free-form conversations with NPCs and so on. Might be cool, though of course even in this use case whatever "AI" is used has to be reined in so it doesn't do something retarded.

Getting programming jobs by June will be incredibly difficult. All the entry-level and intermediate jobs will be accomplished via a $1000/month subscription to claude code. Every subscription will replace 10 full-time jobs.Many companies will go under. There will be no jobs. Only FAGMAN will be "safe". Most FAGMAN employees will either quit voluntarily or fight dirty to not get fired.Programming Jobs and Software jobs are KAPUT in six months. You have been warned.
You're telling me now, after all this time, that there was a way for a video to change its size during playback, and not a single platform uses this to accomodate phone videos which are rotated partway into the video?Son of a bitch.

I mentioned on a /pol/ thread about SSD prices that I had a Samsung 840 pro SSD that had basically been on 24/7 since I bought it 14 years ago. An anon in that thread wanted crystaldiskinfo but I was too lazy to reinstall windows on it. Then a Russian anon told me about smartmontools. Hopefully both of them will find this thread since that one is now archived.Now, to the main two points of this thread.-Can anyone beat my high score?-How long do you think this MLC SSD can last? Because I'm going to run it until failure.
>>>/pol/
>How long do you think this MLC SSD can last?As long as you want, it depends on how much you write on it. I think it could last longer if you don't write that much to it and treat it read-only unless you have to really change things.

Nobody's going to learn the bash terminal unless they are some basement dweller who lives on their PC. Even people who use their PC for work aren't going to fuck around with stuff like that.
