Anyone try out these hotspots? Any opinions? The cost is comparable or cheaper to buying directly from a phone provider. Are the hotspot devices decent? Customizable? The non profit itself seems interesting and privacy focused. Their OS seems well maintained and it "just works".

    Seriously. It isn't helpful towards the environment if we are using so many resources to mine chips and metals and then push it along the internet to then be trained on said AI bots. Would be more sustainable using paper and planting trees smh

    How Bad Is A.I. for the Climate? Tech giants are building power-hungry data centers to run their artificial intelligence tools. The costs of that demand surge are becoming clearer.

    I love how people are just now realizing that more computers will require more energy and resources. But let's add AI and track the shit out of everything and have each website to have a dozen servers to even look coherent, and put AI in cameras, cars and our toilets so we can look closer as we use up all our resources

    To even write this, I'm using multiple servers and the text is for sure being data mined for AI/data science/whatever's next so I'm adding to the problem by complaining

    Okay, that's enough internet for me today. I hope you're all doing well

    I think this is why most people don't think long on what "reality' is. And can't blame them, day to day life is difficult

    With so many variations of Lemmy and fediverse instances, are there any defenses against a malicious server running altered code? Is there a way to prove what code is supposed to be running on each instance?

    Anybody playing this game? I got it a while back on Steam and can't believe I've been sleeping on it. It's oddly relaxing and fast paced at times; requires thought but also is mentally relaxing. 9/10 great fun game that allows exploring without hand holding
