So much is getting better, social media and negativity bias in general is just making it seem like it's not.

Just for example, percentage of green energy is steadily rising. Even if it is not fast enough, that is still a constant improvement.

Well that's what you think, he's actually just been in hiding in a cave in northern Kazakhstan to escape all that public attention. And now he's on Lemmy because he did actually get a little lonely.

My mind is a funny place.

But it turns out you are actually Andre the Giant, so you can throw them very far and thus trust them a lot.

The funny thing about this headline is, human brains are neural networks, so the last sentence could also say

"Soon, neural networks could out think neural networks."

If it's open source, there's roughly a 100% chance someone will make it work on Linux.

Ah, you want memes to not include Argentina anymore, so naturally you make a meme about Argentina instead of one not involving it.

Meh, how often do you really do some serious work where you're not on your own hardware? Depends on your job I guess, if you're company tech support and walk around to people's PCs the whole time, but if you're a programmer or similar, when are you really not going to do your work on your PC?

It's not like you can't work with a default layout afterwards, you're just going to be a bit slower on one. It really didn't happen very often for me in years of working.

I simply made my own keyboard layout. Accent grave is just a single press for me, altgr+accent is the "normal" combining one. Also changed äö to () and shift+äö to [].

It's not that hard, it's just a markup file I had to copy+modify and put in some folder.

The thing is, are they really leaving money on the table? Higher prices means less customers, yes, but also higher profits per unit. We don't actually know right now how many people would be willing to pay these new prices: if it costs twice as much but half the customers are still fine buying it, then profit stayed the same. And with no choice, I suspect much more than half are going to pay double.

Of course, the people who wouldn't do that are a potential market, but they are also a much lower profit margin. Comparably, that's probably not that much for these people.
