Just watched the Kurzgesagt video that dropped today. It seems it was on point.

Because it is. Just recently some VPN provider I already forgot the name of cancelled all lifetime subscriptions. There were multiple posts on Lemmy about it.

A shitty narrator can get me to hate a book I like.

And that is where I see potential for AI. There are quite a few books which I’d love to listen to but they are all narrated by a guy whose narration I can’t stand. AI would open the possibility to choose a voice and I might actually get to enjoy those books. It’s Amazon though so the ethical implications and quality concerns are something I’m worried about.

Ants… some people would rob their mother for the Ants

Did you skip Capitalism 101?

• don’t have to worry about sitting too close/far away/off center

Might be an AI Bot?!

Just waiting for the definitive edition to release 🤞

You know what would help? Steam releasing a console. Valve, please just do what you did with the Steam Deck and put it in a box, offer 2-3 variations of specs and refresh them every 3-5 years.

Organisms like viruses, bacteria and fungi don’t care about country borders. The US withdrawing from the WHO sadly just means that the world will be less capable in responding to emerging threats overall.

Edit: Still a good joke though ;)

Why is this commentworthy?

Yes, you need internet to use the “smart” features of the TV. No, you don’t need internet to just use the TV. You can connect any device that is supported by the ports on the TV, for example a Raspberry PI with a DOS emulator or for example an Apple TV to replace the “smart” part of the TV.

Giving me news about US “actions”…

You do realize that OPs article is about a US “action”? You’ve now been informed and might be able to take action like voting accordingly, writing to your representatives etc.

Or, as per my initial comment, you could’ve ignored US news and would be none the wiser.

Edit: one more thing, you know the US-made/Tesla boycotts happening all over the world? They’d not be happening if everyone ignored US politics.

Where did I say we should focus on another country? Why does everything have to be black and white?

There are shades in between ignoring and focusing on you know?

I can hear the echoes of people saying “why should I care about US politics?”

This is one example. The biggest problems we face as humanity can only be solved with a global effort.

my body weight in bees. Which now that I’ve said it out loud, is sort of terrifying

Not sure I understand correctly, did you imagine your body made out of bees? If so and if you like reading sci-fi you might enjoy Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Dogs of War.
