    You are absolutely wrong.

    GPT: Yes it is very usefull, but it got that usefull by being trained on data that user’s would not accept if they knew about it.

    Crypto is a scam, the only reason it hold any value is because other people belive it holds the value. The data that is mined is absolutely useless, it is litteraly a stribg of numbers in a very particular order that serves no other fuction other than to represent itself. Crypto is insanely power inefficient and is slow to transfer money.

    HDR is comming, it takes time, yes, in the mean time, HDR is a nice to have, it is not a critical peice of technology, stop bragplaining about your nice monitor and just ignore the threads about why you have not switched yet.

    Hating cars is not Lemmy specific, but a growing sentiment of younger generations fewling hopeless for their future when pollution doesn’t stop, and public transport is a feaver dream for the younger generations in the US. Just block the fuck cars community and move on.

      The same argument you made against crypto can also be made for USD: it only holds value cause people say it does. I rather go with a currency that isn’t subject to inflation. Furthermore, if you don’t like the energy usage, then don’t buy a Proof of Work coin. Buy a Proof of Stake coin instead, like ETH, and rest easy knowing that you’re not harming the environment.

      But hey, if you want to be poor for the rest of your life, that’s on you. I choose to break free from USD so that I actually have a chance at a future.

      HDR has been around for over a decade now. Linux devs are just lazy. It is in fact, a critical piece of tech once you get used to it. Like I said, from going from B&W to a color TV. HDR monitors are not expensive. Even the cheapest Walmart brands have HDR now.
