Smartphones were a joke until the iPhone. There will be some resistance, but someone will crack the code to make it easily acceptable and then the race is away with the AI products

Interesting read.

My pain point at the moment is where do I go to start to find interesting people? I am in a city I haven't been in for 8 years, the people I used to know our lives have drifted apart.

Small towns are so much easier to meet others, in the city there are so many people but they are all rushing to do their thing.

A good chunk of my work is scheduled turning off and on again in the right order so things don't break

Now that is someone who has thought about this question a lot

Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.

Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good

I mean in some ways what percentage of emissions come from NZ? The whole country could disappear and it would barely make a difference.

Surely they have bigger things to focus on?

For those looking to get into the IT space, this doesn't seem very promising.

Has anyone else on the ground felt the impacts of these layoffs?

I feel like aircon wasn't as common back then, especially strong enough to cool all of that

Socialise cost and privatise profits.

Been the play for awhile now.

So the idea being I am in the burbs and I put out bird feed to help different species survive where they can't normally find food?

This graph really just makes me think we are fucked, like really fucked, easily in the span of a human life time, if not a few years.

How will this not have crazy knock on effects?

Yet I still go to work and plan for the future and just live my life in some sort of daze. Still tell myself I'll find a wife and have kids one day.

I wonder if I just allow myself to live the ignorance is bliss life, the embodiment of the "this is fine" meme, like so many on this world. Easier just to go with the human flow as we slowly all jump off the cliff like a herd of buffalo.

 

Hoping the Foss community can help me explain why it seems keyboards like AnySoftKeyboard haven't been updated for years. Google play - Nov 2021 F-Droid - Jan 2022

The GitHub still seems quite active with changes being made 3 days ago. Is there a reason these aren't pushed to the standard distribution channels? I also looked at FlorisBoard and it seemed to show a similar pattern.

Are there any other FOSS keyboards people can recommend for Android?

 

I am using Organic Maps but sometimes I would like to view an area with a satellite view. I could go back to google maps for this but I was wondering if the community knew of an alternative.

 

Bit of a different one. I have some credits for audible and I am looking for your favourite books on the subject. Fiction or non fiction it doesn't really matter.

Normally I'd google it and slap "reddit" on the end, but I thought I'd give lemmy a chance to show me some answers
