Let's say both then. Both the US and China are surveillance states, and that makes them both bad.

Btw just so you are aware, there is some underlying animosity toward people who defend China here. Usually people who defend China are just trying to deflect and try to say things like "BUT America does bad things!" While trying to make it seem like that somehow absolves China of genocide and mass surveillance.

The hard part for those people to grasp is that Americans are usually happy to say yes, America sucks. Any country that engages in those actions sucks. Diehard tankies on the other hand are incapable of seeing flaws in China/Russia/whatever country they feel the need to defend.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

I'm all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.

Arguably, the average person will not care. My mom will probably buy one because, and I quote, "Your phone takes good pictures!"

Benchmark tests don't matter to normal people

Battery was running low. If he could have lasted another 3 minutes or so he would have survived.

I've actually played this game with my brother before (with a small drone, no explosives lol). It is actually surprisingly fun.

I actually fly these things as a hobby 😅 it's telemetry data sent directly from the drone. The reason they are always low battery is probably because they fly them pretty far out to avoid getting detected and killed.

Once the battery hits 3.2V or so, you can really start feeling it in how the drone flies. It just doesn't have the power draw remaining for much else. Usually you land at that point to avoid destroying the battery, but in this case... You can fly it down to 2.8ish and still be in the air, but it won't like it and the battery will be damaged.

I'm just curious, how did you miss that? 😅 It was the biggest story in tech like 6 months ago

Yeah I get the idea the meme is saying, but it lacks nuance at best, and is actually sexist at worst.

For the record though, I used bing for the duration of 2023, sort of as an experiment to use the ai assistant.

Bing search is worse that Google by a long shot. I almost always gave up and used Google.

The results of my experiment still seem to be true

As an average user... Should I be excited?

figaro ,

I legit can't tell a difference lol, but I'm excited anyway

Yeah no you are completely right, we don't deserve this comic, but somehow it just keeps on appearing. It's crazy

M1 MacBook. I'm using it right now. I have an ungodly number of tabs open in both Chrome and Edge. Photoshop is apparently open for some reason. Also steam and 5 other apps.

The thing is like 3 years old and doesn't even stutter waking up. Idk what this thing is made of but I would genuinely believe it if they came out and said it's alien technology.

Was Twitter ever really a left leaning platform in the first place? It pretty much always felt like it was filled with Russian bots and maga shit.

So I guess good job Musk for burning down a shit website? Lol

As a side note, Mastodon is legitimately fantastic. The community there is genuinely nice.
