- Comment on was this average bullying behavior? 3 days ago:
if they say you should die because you wanted to talk with them, they are not nice people. you should avoid them for your own benefit. try to find other people if you can, but I would say being alone even is better on a scale. I was in a similar situation for years. and when I thought it ended, it all came back with other people for another few years. if you are a child in school, locked together with them, mentally prepare yourself that they’ll continue bullying you even if you don’t contact them, and that most teachers won’t care. still, you should try getting help if the madness does not stop.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 week ago:
where did I imply it is black and white? I did not say that there are no people who reasonably want to rent, of course there are.
but I’m pretty sure that it’s not even half the people.
the problem is not that people who want to rent can’t, they have plenty of options! but that people who specifically dont want to rent, very often does not have amy other choice.
buying a house for a family comes with a lifelong loan, with all the aid possible, and buying a house as an individual or as a couple is just not possible anymore where I live. unless you have an exceptionally high salary. even just buying an empty parcel or one where there’s only a house so bad it needs to be demolished costs so much, if there’s a habitable house the bank won’t even give a loan. - Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 week ago:
I know people that only want to rent, they don’t want to own.
you say this as if most people would be like that. whereas most people don’t want to travel all the time, for most that wouldn’t even be possible because of their job, most just want a place to live, and feudalists are taking advantage of (and contributing to) prohibitively expensive housing prices

how do you figure out if it’s a plain data CD or there’s something extra on it too?

it seems you don’t know it either what is a photo album.
printing pictures does not solve the problem. the problem comes after printing them: you need to store them somewhere. and that’s what the album is for.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 months ago:
and how unambiguous is it that those are AI generated content? is it like blurry colors on images, 6 fingers and 3 hands, or what do you recognize on them?
I think I can identify generated images, but text… well I can’t even decide. Probably I just can’t so far, because I don’t remember any posts or comments that were suspicious
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 months ago:
while dissing someone for not wanting AI in forums, for “not knowing what are they talking about”. right, they didn’t specify what kind of AI they don’t want, but I think it comes from the context that they don’t want generative AIs, because that’s what affects them negatively regularly
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 months ago:
I don’t see it, which is horrific considering that others do. can you show a few examples that you think is AI slop?
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 months ago:
let me get this straight. you like AI because a model outperformed another? how is that a real argument for any kind of question? the topic was not about whether they evolve.
that “black and white stance” is not really bad here, because it’s not actually black and white. their stance is against generative AI, not the kind you use for research. and guess what, forums are flooded by gen AI slop, the only kind of AI today that highly affects our forums.
- Comment on Why do “flagship” smartphone chips go out of fashion after just a year? 2 months ago:
I have not found an answer to this part:I realized I just quoted the first 3 paragraphs of the post, so lets stay at the clarification.
And to clarify what I don’t understand: each year flagship phone’s performance don’t seem to increase significantly. Regarding real world performance, not benchmarks.
That’s why the question is why don’t they keep the previous chipset until more meaningful gains. As OP suggested, they could either lower the price, or have more profit. Users would not feel the difference, and there’s plenty of other things the manufacturer can improve or experiment with.If the concern is that people would say “ah it’s the same chipset!” and they wouldnt buy it, then the manufacturer could just replace that with another one that has roughly the same cost and performance.

they wanted answers about phone design practices, not cheaper phones.

the software that’s a bit bloated, but it’s (usually) removable (and you could always install a custom ROM)
except if your government and all available banks practically restrict you from replacing the ROM, because then their apps refuse to work. you often can’t replace gov apps with the web browser because of the closed authentication system, and bank apps either because they routinely block mobile browsers, while the desktop view is unusable for most people
