It’s quite frightening to see how fast these AI models have improved during the last few years. You can still spot errors in the videos, but how long will it take until you can’t do that anymore?

It sounds terrifying to not know what’s real or not anymore. And also, these videos will put a lot of people out of jobs, especially in the creative industry. Who needs someone following a car with a drone anymore, when you can just generate that footage on the fly?

Even current German events are replicating the rise of Nazi Germany. But many people are too blind to see…

I used an Exynos S8 up to December of last year and it’s still blazingly fast. And the consensus on xdaforums seems to be that the Qualcomm variant from the US is terrible. :) Weird, but maybe I’m wrong and I just got used to a slow device. I mean, I had a Sony Xperia XA2 before and that thing was so slow, everything else felt like The Flash. :D

It’s the good one. As far as I know, Exynos phones are much faster than the Snapdragon variants. Custom ROMs like LineageOS are only available for Exynos phones, so those are the only ones still getting updates.

The S8 is pretty nice, but only the Exynos variant. I hated the glass back, though. Shattered mine two times, one time the phone just fell 30 centimeters out of bed. Gorilla Glass only in the front was a deliberate decision by these bastards.

Yeah unfortunately that Custom ROM scene is dying out

I feel like recent Android has gotten good enough for me that I don’t really need custom ROMs anymore. As long as I can still root the stock ROM and install AdAway, I’m fine.

Great, my hobby is going to the cinema every week. Doesn’t need any practice, just sit ya ass down and watch.

This. This is exactly it. I could earn a bit more money working 40 hours, but I decided to do a 4 day work week with only 32 hours and my health has increased drastically.

What’s funny about this, is that I’m also a coder and I used a lot of my spare time and regained power to learn new tools, frameworks and programming languages outside of work. Ultimately, these will result in higher paid jobs. Can’t do that when you’re constantly tired.

Last year I started working less for even more money. Another company wanted to poach me, so my boss had to make me an offer. Went down to a 32 hour work week with Fridays off while also getting a significant raise, so I stayed at the company. He didn’t like it, but there wasn’t much of a choice because we’re severely understaffed.

Let’s see if I can do this again this year. Not working less hours (32h is fine), but getting an even better offer.

It’s gotten so hard to find authentic, useful results that people have started adding the word “Reddit” to search terms

I have definitely done that multiple times.

Nice Rick&Morty copypasta you got there.

Aliexpress search is just the worst in that regard. “Hey I want to buy microchip X123457” - “Sure, here are some other totally different chips and a few iPhone cases for you”.

Without site:aliexpress.com and search engines I would never find anything on there.

Na, that’s mostly due to corporate enshittification.

Dammit, I misread here. Of course, the US format is terrible.

Despite the constant negative press covfefe

It’s very easy to sort by this format, makes perfect sense.

Exactly, and that the content eventually just ends. I didn’t mean that every post is positive news.

We are very lucky, because he forgot that he is one.

Exactly. Lemmy is an anti-doomscrolling platform and that’s very healthy and amazing.

That seems to be standard practice, in my case they unbanned me instantly as soon as I added a telephone number.

Gotta collect that sweet, sweet user data.
