AstralPath , to Ask Lemmy in What is a product that didn't live up to its advertised claims?

Maaaan I remember these ads! Thanks for sharing.

AstralPath , to Today I Learned in TIL humans are the only animal with a chin. We aren't sure why.

Dude, don't disparage the chihuahua. They're the pinnacle of anxiety; something many of us can relate with.

If you're perpetually online, maybe? The only time you should give a shit about your chin is if you have an abnormally absent one. Like Andrew Tate for example.

Are there any old ads you can link to on YouTube for this thing? I wanna see!

AstralPath , to Technology in NBC to use AI-generated version of Al Michaels' voice during Summer Olympics

Greeting viewers by name? Not in my fucking house. AI should be a tool to rid humanity of undesirable work. Instead its replacing humanity in every field where humanity is the main event. Why the fuck would I ever want to listen to a fucking robot while I watch the Olympics, or anything for that matter?

Buy dumb TVs. Make your next phone a Pixel and install Graphene OS. Ditch Windows/MacOS for Linux. Use ProtonMail. Run a Pi-Hole on your network. Do anything you can to take control of your digital footprint in any way.

Don't let corporations freely suck your data dry and exploit your life for profit while force feeding you their elaborate fakery. Its impossible to insulate yourself from it all but any step towards digital privacy is the right step to take.

AstralPath , to Technology in Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms

None of those tools has ever made a full releasable track for anyone, just like the tape machine never created music out of nowhere.

AstralPath , to Fediverse in Lemmy is a failed Reddit alternative

This sums up my love for the Fediverse.

AstralPath , to Technology in Microsoft insiders worry the company has become just 'IT for OpenAI'

I'm not using Linux in any enterprise capacity, but the compatibility improvements I've seen since the last time I tried out a distro for fun are immense.

So immense infact that I'm migrating all my home studio and gaming stuff over to Linux and making it my official daily driver via Nobara.

I'm honestly amazed by how well music production software and hardware works on Linux now. I'm so relieved because I thought this whole Windows enshittification thing was just another part of my life where I seemingly have no control over being made into a product and having all of my data sold constantly.

A recent migration to GrapheneOS and this new discovery of Linux's amazing capabilities for my use case are such a breath of fresh air. I now have the choice to reject the exploitative practices of these tech companies that have zero respect for people and that makes me happy.

The more we use and recommend Linux the more of a chance we get of first party support in the future!

Thank you for posting this crucial context for the algorithms. I didn't even know this information was available.

This is actually nuts. I watched a video breakdown of this blog post and my jaw was on the floor. Super interesting stuff.

AstralPath , to Ask Lemmy in Have you got any weird questions FROM the opposite gender?

Yeah, that's exactly what's happening. People seem to be misconstruing my comment as endorsement of gender stereotypes? I don't know.

The assumption that the father is just giving mom a break is part of a systemic issue, that by and large women are still expected to bear the bulk of the burden of childcare. Older generations are much more likely to ask that assumptive question as they still see it as the norm. Hell, some families in my own personal circle fit that stereotype like a glove, to the detriment of the mother's mental health.

AstralPath , to Ask Lemmy in Have you got any weird questions FROM the opposite gender?

Yep, absolutely agree. Thanks for seeing the nuance.

AstralPath , to Ask Lemmy in Have you got any weird questions FROM the opposite gender?

Honestly with how oblivious most men are to the amount of work the average mother does, this is not a weird or stupid question. Insensitive, sure. Traditional gender roles still spill over into conversation, especially with older folks. The absolute least a father can do is aim to carry an equal share of the load of having children. The bitter reality is that this does not happen nearly as much as it should, hence comments like these.

Moms are underrated as fuck.

AstralPath , to Technology in German parliament will stop using fax machines
