CRTs had flatscreens beat until less than a decade ago, which was nearly 20 years after being replaced by society.

Higher resolutions, refreshrates and lower latency until the 4k 250fps+ race began.

However, i doubt there is much more to gain due to CRT being well into the end of the development S-curve.

I have had to deal with dependency hells plenty, i am a Debian user after all.

But with that argument you’re now just running outdated shit in a container. Not a great pro-docker argument tbh.

What? Outdated junk running in containers because the maintainer didnt update their shit is not a real problem?

Seems that it is perhaps you who doesnt know how to use it.

Why not have the option for both?

I dont see how this is a defense for jamming everything in to a container.

Is this a new article? This happens regularly, right?

The US justice system is a joke. This should be higher on the public shitlist than Ed Sheeran.

By not building nuclear power plants since the 80s, barring France and China. And continue to rather build fossile fuel power than nuclear.

We polluted this planet with so much radioactive waste we couldve powered our civilization with dirty nuclear power for a 1000 years.

And we humans solved the nuclear power waste. The majority of that waste loses its radiation within decades and that last bit we can store under the earth, rather than putting it our atmosphere.

Wind power has its benefits of course, but like solar, it cant power our civilization without storage and when you throw storage in the mix, it favours nuclear power in every measurement.

I agree that LLMs should be opt-in.

However i am often working on projects with garbage or huge documentation, or community boards, that in the past would require a good bit of googlefu to figure out.

Google became absolutely useless for that task. LLMs saved internet search that isnt shallow.

Thats just false.

Per MWh a windmill (on land) costa about 30℅ more concrete and rare earth metals than a nuclear power plant. It’s almost double for windmills at sea (although it is mostly a whole lot more concrete)

For windmills you need to build out 3 times the required capacity for any baseload usage, due to how wind power works.

The Netherlands spend 12± billion euro a year for the past 15 years in to wind and solar energy.

And we’re only just now matching the Windmill energy production of 1 nuclear power plant.

The Netherlands couldve build at least 10 nuclear power plants for the same money and then we would have most of our base load covered by non greenhouse gas producing methods.

But the Netherlands is now reliant on Norway and the US for its power production.

Solar energy is fucking amazing btw, but without storage best used as a load reducer.

Greenpeace did more harm to our planet than they did good.

Docker has its uses, but it has gone to far.

I already have a webserver with Apache, mariadb and everything. Why does your PHP based website only come as a docker solution? Fuck you.

When you go all in with docker, it quickly becomes a mess with rando NICs and containers named “random 32 character string” and dependencies up the wazoo. Ending up running ancient packages because the developer refuses to apt upgrade their shit.

Proxmox or any other hypervisor platform gives you control. Whereas you have to take it for docker and youre still at the mercy or the developers to keep your shit secure.

Yeah, google been shit for over a decade now. Not long after SEO became the norm and Google figured out a way to profit from it.

LLMs have saved internet searching. For the first time in years, i am getting (usually) relevant information for my questions.

And not some sponsored or SEO optimized shithole.

That would assume dad has the time and energy for that. In a world where both parents need to be working in order to survive. Most people have no clue how any of the digital world works, but we somehow expect everyone to master it all when they have children?

Wild take, tbh.

I need to confirm my online purchases through my banking app. But I willingly dont connect my banking details anywhere.

I find it weird that payment details can be stored for one-click purchases later on. It is just so highly and easily abused.

We dont accept this kind of payment behavior at a store for obvious reasons, but online it is considered normal? I guess it maximises profits, which are important.

And when these carefully designed systems for low barrier purchases are abused by a child, all responsibility goes to the parent?

Wild how normalised this behavior is.

That the CC can be used without any form of validation seems to be a problem here.

If Google would just verify the security code or something, couldve easily claimed the user made a willing purchase in such case.

But removing such barriers is more profitable.

The guy you’re responding to has a valid point.

No way the son would get away with these actions at a physical store. “My dad was in here earlier, you saw him, i like to keep using his credit card tho, thanks”

Gee, I wonder why scamming is so huge after turning the digital market in to full “end-user responsibility” and tech companies removing carefully curated practices over the centuties for profit maximization.

Google earns billions of these scummy tactics to get users to spend as much as possible by removing any barriers of control and security. Why dont they get any of the responsibility?

Having an adblocker is basic security.

Try to contact Google as a user.

How easy a company is to contact is very telling.

You can speak to someone at Google for sales within 5 minutes tho.

The problem with the Epstein files is that it doesn’t just list Trump as a participant. That’s why he used it as a bluff that helped him get reelected.

The Democrat party didn’t release those files either and they won’t release them any more than the files already are until a whole lot of ancient influential fucks kick the bucket.

He and the rest of US oligarchy are making money hand over fist. Not like Trump actually gives a shit. He’s playing his voters, his opponents, us all. I shouldn’t be here driving this bullshit engagement but I’m bored, it’s all part of his grift.

US should let Seal Team 6 handle this new oil crisis like they handled Bin Laden. Just send the them to Putin’s Datscha and boom, Russia would retreat from Ukraine, Ukraine would stop hitting Russia. Problem solved.

By invading countries that have nothing to do with it, taking the better part of a decade doing so before finishing the task?

I dare to say that EU’s growing independence from the US is part of the hostile approach the US has walked for the past decade or so.

It didn’t start with Trump and didn’t stop under Biden.
