This has to be a record for the most downvoted comment on Lemmy, holy moly. This is a huge absolute margin even for reddit.

If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can't trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?

This is a better comparison than the post itself, and we should also be putting the minimum wage on the graph to compare the gains.

Not the most fair comparison. Compare it to the richest people in 2012, as extreme wealth ebbs and flows with inflated "funny money" stocks.

That's not how exponential growth works. The pay increase would be in the ballpark of 50% per year for that amount of gain in 35 years.

And remember, wealth accumulates in passive investments, so even if you made $7.25/hr for 35 years, you'd have over $1m if you didn't spend any of it and it accumulated at over ~3% per year.

I stopped using BeReal a few months ago after they kept adding unwanted features (the entire point of this app was its simplicity) and my friends were leaving the app. Sad to see it has these kind of ads now.

It's really good for generating code snippets based on what I want to do (ex. "How do I play audio in a browser using JavaScript?") and debugging small sections of code.

This storm has reached 180mph at its peak. Have you ever braced wind at that speed? I've ridden at 120mph on my motorcycle (at a drag strip). The wind, even with a full face helmet and visor, was so extreme that it was hard to hold on and my ears were ringing afterward despite having earplugs in. This insanity corresponds to a few seconds of a category 3 hurricane. This hurricane's winds are like that felt by squids on literbikes doing top speed runs.

One road I drive on frequently is posted 25, but Google Maps thinks it's 55, which is a silly speed for that road with many turnouts. Meanwhile, the next road over, is also 25 and Google sees that one correctly, but going 55 on that road is nearly natural, with nothing but the road and usually green traffic lights every quarter mile.

Where my friend lives, in a typical American suburb:

• To the nearest convenience store: 1.5km
• To the nearest chain supermarket: 1.5km
• To the bus stop: >1km
• To the nearest park: 400m
• To the nearest big supermarket: 1.5km (they're all the same thing lol)
• To the nearest library: 1.4km
• To the nearest train station: 1.7km

(These feel like clues to Jet Lag: the Game - Hide and Seek...)

That's why I keep advising people to buy used, and to be able to pay for any expensive toy fully in cash. It saves so much depreciation money, and causes you to not go into debt over an expensive toy.

Think about why you joined Lemmy. Reddit has been getting greedier and greedier, so you left to a place where the grass is greener. The same thing is true with Windows and Linux (and Linux is also much more big and mature than Lemmy). It attracts the same kind of people.
