  • We used to be free from such bullshit, but some companies have started trying to bring similar systems here in Brazil, especially drugstore brands that would ask for our id number in every order to give "discounts". Fortunately, this practice is now being investigated, and I hope the companies lose the case.

  • Might sound a bit unrelated, but have you been noticing an apparent rise on ageism too? The social media seem to be fueling it for some reason.

  • That's simple. They use an LLM to find the right people for the job /s

  • Fun fact: people in Brazil used to cook black beans with an iron nail inside the pot to treat anemia and iron deficiency. They removed the nail before eating, in case someone is wondering. Some people might still do it.

    Another fun fact: I remember a research concluding that it's actually effective.

  • My head literally exploded with that meme!

  • Exactly. If there were perfectly interchangeable alternatives, there would have been a true competition and those companies wouldn't be holding the amount of power they do today in the first place.

    Moving to alternatives requires some degree of effort and giving up on some microconforts. There's no other way. There's no fight without any pain. If we want to fight those companies, we must sacrifice those micro conforts, even if that means reducing tech use as a whole and doing a few things the "old fashioned" way.

  • Slowly, they will do. Every new one that does and gets media attention pulls others to do the same

  • I believe jpeg xl allows lossless conversion from common jpeg

  • Needs some deepfry

  • Unfortunately, a lot of people. Probably not so many here on Lemmy but a lot of people. And I even know a couple of them irl :(

  • And the pollution isn't a problem, because the strong winds generated will dissipate it away.

    Oh, and the entire system must be ai-based

  • And libreoffice, and stop using copilot or game pass or any of their services

  • Thank you for the suggestion

  • I already used my proton email as contact method on some published stuff that I can't modify. Do you have some tips for that situation, or am I stuck now?

  • Love your criteria

  • Chances are they came from reddit too lol

  • It's nice to see a good application of ai. I hope my low end stuff will be able to run it.

  • Here in Brazil, there are still a lot of laptops, monitors and tvs being sold with that resolution.

  • Thank you for the list. We have a tendency to criticize bad actors, but we forget that it's important to promote the ones going the right direction.
