So… bots? I’m pretty sure we already have those.

Yeah, but are the subscriptions profitable? OpenAI is losing money on subscriptions: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/openai-is-losing-money-on-its-pricey-chatgpt-pro-plan-ceo-sam-altman-says/

we will receive $300M in cash and equity from xAI

Wait, Elon is paying Telegram to use Grok? Probably why I’m not a multi billionaire but paying people to use your service sounds like a weird business model.

If they break custom roms my next phone will have iOS, not stock Android on it.

Oh, I thought you meant that gnome disks should be installed by default.

I said drives should mount on boot by default because it’s basic functionality.

Usually it’s something you set up during installation. Linux philosophy is “don’t do anything the user doesn’t want to do”. If someone wants to mount a drive he/she will set it up. But again, this will depend on the distro. There’s no default for every possible Linux setup.

Some distros use KDE which is Qt which means that to install a gnome app (which uses gtk) you need to also install shitload of other dependencies. Fresh installs usually don’t mix KDE and Gnome apps. There a different default for them. So saying that a Gnome app should be default for Linux doesn’t make much sense.

I mainly use Gnome apps and this is what I’m getting on my system:

On KDE system you will see the same for any gnome tool.

Why this can’t just be default

Because not all distributions use gnome. Some distributions try to install as many graphical tools as they can and other distributions try to minimize the size of the install and let users decide what tools they want installed. Talking about defaults applications in Linux doesn’t make much sense. Each distro is free to choose the apps they want to include or not.

Sell brain-computer interfaces to people. I’m not saying that Neuralink will ever get there or that it’s a good idea but the goal is to improve on the way we communicate with computers. My guess is that Elon’s vision is some Neuralink clinics that for small price drill a hole in your skull and implant a chip. The $9B valuation is obviously just pure fantasy at this point and the $600m invested is probably from some billionaires that don’t know what to invest in anymore.

Text files are not hard to read. It’s text.

Yeah, I’m going to remove those from my walls now…

Now say it in Spanish.

People already are stupid. Youtube and facebook made sure of that.

Deal. Let’s setup dead man’s switches that will DM our passwords to one another if we fail to log in for a week.

Who wants to inherit my lemmy comments?

Yeah, I don’t know what that is. On the right is the actual day-to-day change. As of now the fall settled at about 2.5%: https://www.reuters.com/business/us-stock-futures-flat-debt-worries-markets-mull-trumps-tax-bill-2025-05-23/

I’m not saying it’s a big drop. It’s just funny how Trump can do this with his truths.

6% actually.

Youtube has ads?

So if you look at my comment history at Reddit you would find few “totally agree, here’s an upvote” comments and a lot “I totally disagree with this statement” type of comments. Not because I was trolling. I just find “you’re so right” type of comments boring. I don’t know what the “move on without waiting for replies” part implies. Who waits for replies on reddit? Do they mean they just never reply bak? If so that’s also not typical trolling.

Disagreeing is not trolling. I hate post where everyone just comments the same thing. It’s has no value, it’s boring.

When people have different opinions and exchange ideas it gets interesting.
