So if all the existing matter came from the big Bang, is it possible to condense it all back into one place?

They enable the ones who do cause problems.

Helping others do harm but not physically doing it yourself does not absolve you of responsibility.

If I recall correctly it’s related to a fire retardant additive that oxidizes

Frito lay produces non potatoe chips but I don’t think any under the lays brand are corn etc.

Pepsico basically said on an investor call they will keep jacking up the price so long as people keep buying .

So here we are I guess.

That used to be free money. Now they actually have to earn it they are uninterested.

The Alexa division is struggling so they are well into the extract phase of the product.

Google will get there in time as well.

I’m saying there isn’t a religion that doesn’t force it’s shit on people.

So basically you’re fine with supporting things that hurt others just so long as you’re left alone.

Religions have yet to prove to me they are not just another tribal group that wants control with extra steps.

The main issue will be application support.

Linux running on the desktop in 2025 is helped immensely by everything being web based. So long as you have a browser you are fine for a lot of general computing.

The phone space is ruled by apps. The phone makers and the companies developing apps prefer it this way.

Getting a banking app, or Uber or Facebook Messenger to work on a Linux phone is going to be a massive pain in the ass (ignoring the rest of the OS which is definitely not even close to useable for the general public).

I would love a Linux phone but we are so far away.

I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not but perhaps you don’t remember when the biggest “stars” on tiktok were 15 year olds dancing in bikinis…

I mean most don’t go to their PhDs because it is effectively training for being an academic. Except there are very few jobs for academics so you’ll be an adjunct professor getting paid poverty wages.

Kagi does provide a good experience but it can never replace the free search engines. It relies pretty heavily on Google’s search API it just allows you to massage the results with tools Google took away.

The incentives don’t allow for this shit in an organization like Google. They can only respond to stock price and earnings.

Very likely someone back channeled a demand and they folded like a deck of cards.

So the team responsible for that AI box added Trump dementia to the list of things it won’t respond to.

The team responsible for the news bits didn’t get the request so that just shows up in its place.

One thing I don’t see people mentioning is that Netflix has a bunch of good games for “free” if you already subscribe.

Cardboard is recyclable so long as you don’t print on it and it’s the brown corrugated stuff. Which is a big ask.

Most of it doesn’t get recycled into more boxes though. Think like those cup holders you get at a take out place.

The other thing is trees area renewable resource in theory but we use a lot of fossil fuels to harvest and process then.

Same.

The people I’ve noticed complain seem to buy giant drinks and let them sit around for a while.

Never been a fan of flat warm soft drinks myself.

Yeah the last time I drank a can of coke it was crazy expensive. Like an entire dollar or some shit.

Most of the older stuff is really energy inefficient. That said they have looser tolerances so they break less and keep on chugging.

The new stuff has tighter tolerances and is made to reduce cost. These powers combined make them shit.

The worst part is that in a lot of cases paying more won’t actually get you out of the trash. They just strap smart garbage to the cheap shit. You have to pay 5 to 10 times the amount for an actual decent appliance (ie one that’s just good at doing what it is supposed to do) and even then it’s a gamble.
