Technology@lemmy.world•Should you still buy your next smartphone — or subscribe to it instead? Apple, Samsung … are betting that leasing, subscriptions, and guaranteed buyback programs can make upgrading more attractive.English
12·1 month agoThat’s exactly what I thought. I know so many people that just want the newest release just because “status”. Most of those people I know can’t actually afford it, they just prioritise it over other things.
And most of them are tech illiterate and don’t use 80% of the phone’s abilities.
They will love this.

Just Post@lemmy.world•People referring to AI using common pronouns is the most worrying thing currently in technology
18·1 month agoMy language has no “it”. There’s no way to refer to objects without pronouns. We don’t think of objects as people.
I think that, because English speakers have access to the handy “it”, they give too much importance to pronouns.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People always want their ideal conversation to sound like movie characters, but in reality most people talk as if they're in an interrogation room or how people sound like on police bodycam footage.
3·7 months agoThat makes complete sense. If the point of a movie is to tell us a story, then it should be catered to be more exciting and engaging. Of course it also makes sense for someone to come up with a story that benefits on being told realistically, like a found footage kind of movie, in which OP’s suggestion makes sense.


You’re not alone in this. I always stay away from watching videos or reading articles with click bait titles. Maybe we are just naturally contrary.
