Because people forgot about "net neutrality" and, for example in my country, mobile operators include 2GB WhatsApp, 4GB Facebook etc. in their packages. The newest trend I saw is "unlimited data for ChatGPT". Internetust be classified as a utility globally. But at this rate, soon power companies will have "100kWh free for Bosch appliances" or something like that.
Why though? What is the significance of this ratio?
Edit: Looked it up and it actually makes sense. The flag is not a rectangle.
When constructed according to the stated geometric construction law, the ratio of the height of the flag to the longest width is an irrational number. This is common for the hypotenuse of triangles.
I guess you don't read what I write. I said "all you have said are correct but not enough". I don't give money to AI companies out of ethical responsibility. I just don't believe this alone is enough for any change. I don't think "vote with your wallet" is a meaningful argument. Things like "mobilize your community, take action against datacenters" etc. make sense. "Vote with your wallet" passifies people.
Corporations do not use gamepass but they use AI. Our wallet is nothing compared to their wallet. This is not one of those cases voting with your wallet will be enough, or even noticeable.
Everything you are saying I agree with. But I think it is incomplete, not wrong. During the times of slavery, you could think all humans are equal and it is reprehensible to even think about owning a human being. Many did. But people's individual opinion alone didn't change anything, for a very long time. A social movement did. Political action did.
Issee what you are saying but, under the current situation, it is impossible to vote with your wallet. Companies are the ones providing you with the options they want. We are constantly being forced too choose the lesser evil. When we get old, the lesser evil becomes the default, it s no longer evil, but normal state of affairs, and the next generation is forced to choose between two worse things and pick the lesser evil of those, while, generation after generation, we move deeper into shit. There is no voting with your wallet. There so no vote. Companies aren't democracies. There is rule of law, there is regulations, there is voting with your actual vote.
I really like programming, 3d printing, arduino/pi stuff, and technology in general but I am starting to seriously hate technology and all these techno-solutionist stuff.
Sounds awesome.
