If they really cared about carbon emissions, they would shut down all of their AI crap.

Everything posted on Lemmy is public though.

We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.

VPNs and piracy aren’t going anywhere. Unfortunately, data caps won’t be going away either.

Don’t just give location access to any app that requests it, especially background location access.

I don’t care what he says, I will never buy a game with Denuvo.

I don’t use AI for anything. I consider the LLMs pretty useless since they are prone to spewing BS.
