You make it sound as if I could just quit my job right now and just pay for all my expenses with my credit card. I wonder how long I could pull this off :)

The question is not if addicts would pay a high price for AI (they probably would) but if they CAN afford it (they probably can’t).

I don’t see anyone here making this about hierarchy or anyone claiming that one group of people is “better” (or “worse”) than the others.

That Gen Z is scoring worse in those tests is a fact. Nobody says that Gen Z is “worse” because of that. If anything this might make previous generations look bad whose decisions lead to the world gen z has to grow up in: The school system, current crises, the pandemic, social media, etc.

To acknowledge those test results is the key to address what caused those results. Then we can discuss:

• What did we (yes all of us) do wrong (or right) that lead to this?
• How to help Gen Z and future generations to unlock their potential
• Or: Question if those tests are still relevant. Are those skills that were tested actually needed in our current time and are there important skills missing that were not tested?

and is in fact an iteration of some other meme created by someone else?

People have different opinions on what a “meme” is but for me the iteration part is what actually makes it a meme.

• A funny (?) joke: Not a meme
• An iteration of a joke that gets recognized as such: A meme

It’s like “fuck this codebase, we delete everything and start over”.

I’m still using my fairphone 5 :)

Who is making these? This is like me in university reading a text and highlighting every second word because “THATS the important part!!”. I only use one highlighter color though…

Curious. Do they easily find you that you use it?

If meta automatically detects that you use beeper and bans you then there is no point using it with WA. But in this case beeper wouldn’t advertise bridging to WA, right?

Still?

In the EU yes and no. Most mobile internet plans here include unlimited SMS and phone calls as well. At least I know very few people who choose to have plans that include ONLY internet and those plans tend to be only marginally cheaper. However, the unlimited SMS and phonecalls (for most plans) only apply for messaging inside the EU. So if you regularly message friends outside EU you again either pay per SMS/call or have to get a more expansive plan that also includes that.

So overall it’s the most convenient (and mostly cheapest) to do all messaging and calls over mobile data or WiFi

Anyone else get strong giga chad vibes from this guy?

This is not porn. Why should it not be allowed?

Also: There is porn on lemmy.

Okay I get that. However, I feel like this has nothing to do with the original issue. If I only ever receive “requests and demands” from someone it would not make it any better if they beforehand say “hey, do you have time for a quick question” every time.

Of course I also text about other topics. Of course I ask how they are doing and chat about stuff. But when I have I question I simply ask that question.

I’d hate to be treated that way. Ofc it’s fine if this is the social norm for you and people around you.

(Me after someone tells me ‘oh don’t worry about it’)

[…] , are both is service of avoiding putting pressure on them.

All you’re avoiding is going to the concert with your friend.

Just curious: Would you consider it rude if someone else sends you a text with a straightforward request? Or do you just feel like it could be perceived as rude when you do it?

Here’s what would piss me of the most:

“Hey, I got a question. Do you have time to talk?”

Me not knowing what this is about or how long it would take to answer this mysterious question of yours: “not right now, gonna text you in the evening”

Me (later): “So what was your question?”

“I wanted to go to that concert on Friday. But now all of the tickets are gone and I’m going alone, lmao”

I HAD enough time to answer a simple yes/no question. I hate it when people ask if I have time to text. At least give me a fucking hint like “hey I got a short question: its about the concert on Friday”. Asking if one has time to text causes the most social friction IMO but the least visible friction (to you).

Today I’m “working” on my masters thesis. As of now I have not done anything meaningful besides browsing lemmy and customizing my arch/niri configuration on my laptop: Why does the right-click menu “open with” in dolphin not show any suggested programs? It does when I log into Plasma.

Anyway, I hope I’m gonna be more productive after lunch.
