It happened before: computers, internet, smartphones, other machines were invented, productivity has only give up. And yet, we're still working 8 hours per day (and earning less than before).
AI will get people fired. More people need work = lower salaries, more profit.
It would be great if we could all just work less, but they won't let that happen.
You can compile Kvantum yourself with some cmake flag, that's how I got it working. Some things look a little different and blur effect doesn't work. So yeah, not really ready.
How's an average user supposed to know? I get updates almost every day and yeah there were a lot of packages last time but I didn't realize it was a "major" release
People really don't like to hear bad experiences, judging by the downvotes. But I agree it's a really bad upgrade and it's not ready for use at all.
My experience with Plasma6 upgrade:
Don't upgrade if you haven't already.
Old English plæsc. Possibly cognate of, but not borrowed from Dutch plas (puddle)
I never saw someone got bullied for their clothes in my environment.
But kids got bullied for wearing glasses, let's hope they ban those then. Also, better to not let kids with weird accents in school. Wouldn't want to provoke the bullies.
I'd say site blocking is SearXNG's main selling point. (I switched when it got recommended to me on Lemmy :-).) Blocking just a few annoyances (Amazon, Pinterest, etc) make the search results so much better and relevant.
Also, Google is plagued by censorship.
It's a reoccurring internet discussion you can google. The rest of the world thinks Americans wear shoes inside, even on their beds, because that's what we see in US movies/series, and Americans always deny they'd ever do such a thing.
I may be somewhere in the middle. I see students around me traveling the world like it's nothing, eating and drinking out all the time... Maybe they're doing something right. I'm saving up half of my salary every month but for what? It's never enough to own my own home and I'll never retire anyway. Maybe having a little luxury right now instead of saving for an unknown isn't that bad.
One thing that's different out that there is no such thing as not being able to pay for health insurance. You are required by law to be insured. This also means the government mostly covers it for you if you can't.
You may have to pay out of pocket for the first few hundred euros when something happens, but insurance covers the rest. There's no way a person's life savings would disappear overnight because of a medical issue. I'd rather die than pay what I sacrificed 30+ years to save up for.
When it comes to chocolate, the US says it's OK to import products made from slave labor since the violations don't happen on US territory.
US doesn't grow chocolate but they do build (crappy) cars. How convenient
So I'm guessing work use of a desktop is excluded?
Also, the article talks about "time spent online" and the map says "screen time", those are different things.
