The new Fairbuds sounds like (pun intended) itsy going to have a better audio quality.

Is that Xavier account a satire account? I see it posted all the time.

That’s some good shitpost.

I’ve come to realisation that since many Lemmy users are IT workers, they feel resentful in training AI to replace them. Many had been laid off after all since the (irrational exuberant) coming of AI. That’s why I don’t begrudge many Lemmings hating AI as something that could never do anything good. I’m lucky enough that my work isn’t going to be replaced by AI. But for how long?

It depends on what you’re doing. I deal with lots of data entry and when there are corrections to be made, I had to scour through troves of information which could also cause data entry error when i am going through with it. In other words, it’s “secretary work”. AI had been helpful on that front to minimise the tedious work that does not add value or improve productivity.

AI is only good at secretary work. But for tasks that require critical thinking and analysis and creativity, don’t rely on AI.

It’s a deliberate propaganda. On Instagram, I see posts that glazes the billionaires but hardly any posts that puts them on the bad light.

I never said Google, not sure what you’re trying to read. I use Duckduckgo but I admit it’s getting terrible over the years and I might start using Startpage because I think it’s slightly better.

The Amazon pages have bettee localisation and better translation to many languages, unlike Firefox translation which I still find clumsy.

Does it take more time to give something without Amazon? Yes. Does it take a lot more time though? Not really. In the end, it really comes down to just not caring enough about fascism/climate/corruption.

That’s a fair enough argument.

1. I don’t use Google.

2. I went to a Polish site and they don’t deliver to Ireland.

You’re literally just not searching hard enough.

That’s fair but now you see why there isn’t a European Amazon? Amazon makes things convenient. They operate on a single language and have good localised pages for many parts of the world. I could have my Firefox browser translate but it’s still done awkwardly. Europe doesn’t offer an alternate Amazon because of multiple languages and different structures because each countries do their own. The closest rival is Wildberries but there is sanction on Russia.

Sorry to be flippant, but again, people who speak on high horse about completely avoiding Amazon speak from their own experience and incorrectly think it’s universal. If it’s that easy to boycott Amazon, it would have already gone bankrupt.

At this stage, my backlog is the retirement playlist.

Easy to speak from a high horse when you live in a place where there are better alternatives to Amazon. I live in Europe and either I go to the alternative but doesn’t deliver to Ireland, or the site has very limited selection.

Some Russians? More like majority of them.

Which will complicate things because there will be dozens of more continents.

India does call the Middle East as West Asia.

For a normie like me, i stick with Bazzite.

It’s scary and yet many people refuse to believe in climate change. I’ve had argument with a denier on social media. I can tell that the person is not being deliberately malicious, because he did let up on some points, but he’s the type to kick the can down the road and hopelessly hoping to deal with the problem later on.

Healthcare, consumer staples and utilities are considered to be defensive stocks because they are always needed regardless of economic situation.

I am minimising my exposure to US stock market as well. There is the perception that the European stock market doesn’t have the explosive growth the way that US stocks does but it is at least safer.

Japan could also be considered safe and their stock market have been on the rise after 30 years of stagnation.

I have not watched TV in years. Is there anything specific you are talking about?

ESG scores in general do not mean anything either.

Crypto should be treated as alternative to payment not for investing.

I can’t even remember the last time I logged in to Windows.
