That was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

I absolutely despise it when people say "should have known better" when companies mess up. Not everyone is going to spend weeks researching obscure information before buying a phone.
If I had that quirk I could have defeated Shigaraki and All For One in a single punch.
Personally, I would never give Reddit a single penny. Their garbage CEO does plenty to get people to leave and I am sure it will keep like that.
My first time trying to get my mother to switch from Windows to a Linux based OS wasn't successful because there was too much friction and inconvenience for her, and she wasn't willing to even entertain the idea of Linux for years after that. My second attempt was successful because Linux is much more user friendly than it used to be 13 years ago, and I changed my approach to make it as frictionless as possible.
Firefox just set to block 3rd party cookies + some basic extensions like adblocking and some easy privacy stuff is a good way to go about it, because it's better than what she used previously and it doesn't become inconvenient to her. She doesn't know what an operating system is, or what cookies are... She just uses the computer to browse the web, emails, and light office work. She even says she prefers the current setup (though that's because her old computer was chugging with Windows and runs smoothly now with a less bloated OS)
No need for noscript, deleting cookies, fingerprinting, or user agent stuff... Only introduce these to them if they express interest in privacy and are interested in learning more. If you try to thrust it upon them too suddenly they will just think "Linux isn't a good user experience and is only good for tech enthusiasts and programmers".
I'm so glad we have GN bringing these stories to light.
At least 60% of my internet time is YouTube. I rely on it for entertainment, news, education, discovering music, technical help, ETC...
Could I live a meaningful life without it? Probably, people have been living meaningful lives before the invention of the computer in general... But I wouldn't give it up because there is an immense amount of incredible content there that genuinely makes my life better.
I am a staunch opposer to the death penalty, and believe no crime, no matter how severe warrants an execution, but I wouldn't lift a finger to stop the execution of Nestlé executives because they aren't worth a single calorie spent on their defence.
Oh, I wasn't aware of these. Makes a lot of sense people want more eyeballs on their tweets without people knowing they pay for them.
I'm also confused, what's the point of a check mark if you hide it? Just paying Twitter for fun?
That's simple, people who buy a Cybertruck are the type to drop loads of money on garbage because they think it makes them look cool. Shops therefore would charge a lot of money to wrap a Cybertruck.
Have you tried doing it in a video game? I know it won't be the same, but it will still do something, I'd wager.

Now I'm tempted to make a Fate joke, but I don't want to put spoilers for it, even if it's a 20 year old story.
(Spoilers on Lemmy, last time I checked, don't work).
It's a CATastrophe.
There is no artist to credit, since this is AI... But the fact that a MAGAdiot shared it is funny. Accidentally based.
I remember that one. I think this will be a problem one day when someone innocent tries to submit a photo in court and the prosecutor will argue that because the phone has AI enhancements, we can't trust the image's small details.
Do you mean this is one of these AI enhancements to a photo you take to remove noise and stuff that some newer phones have?
Also the guy filming in the foreground's phone looks like he is filming something completely different from what's in front of him.
The smartphone market has matured, so there is less of a difference between each generation. Earlier on there was a massive difference in performance:
The OG Galaxy S had 512MB of RAM, 8GB storage, and a single Arm A8 core at 1GHz, and the SII had 1GB of RAM, 16GB/32GB storage, and a dual core A9 at 1.2GHz. This is a single generation with double the RAM and more than double CPU power, and nearly 6x the GPU power (theoretically), and 2-4 times the storage.
Then the SIII came out with a quad core SoC 1.4GHz, a much larger screen with higher resolution (jumping from 480p to 720p), significantly bigger battery, and up to 64GB of storage.
The S4 doubled the RAM to 2GB, faster storage, significantly faster and more efficient SoC, a larger, 1080p display paired with a much more powerful GPU, and a significantly larger battery as well.
Back then, if you had the money, there was a considerable difference between each generation and there was a reason to upgrade, many not every year, but if you could afford it, upgrading every other year made sense.
After that, changes were much more calm. Sure, some phone makers made exciting and innovative stuff, but the hardware didn't have a massive difference from one generation to another, and also prices were rising.
Nowadays, phones are far less exciting, but flagship phones are ludicrously expensive, and yet they sell incredibly well. While phones are being improved from one generation to the next, they feel like small steps rather than a giant leap. Our demand for power hasn't gone up quite as fast as our phones themselves. People will keep buying phones less frequently, just like we do for laptops.
