We might understand AI won’t actually solve the same problems we are able to solve, but the people deciding budgets dont understand that.

Like saving an article you see when you’re on your PC for when you’re about to leave so you can read it on your phone while on the train
Maybe we should rethink ownership as a concept. Is it really necessary? I feel like it causes a lot of trouble without solving much. Why can’t humans just properly work together in a society that shares resources with those in need?

Either you have an unregulated market dominated by big players which isn’t free because of said big players, or you have a heavily regulated market, that gives a fair chance to anyone, but isn’t free at all because of the regulation.
The free market is an illusion, just like the american dream. Which shouldn’t be much of a surprise, seeing as the american dream builds off of the illusion of a free market and fair chances for anyone

silly goose meekah@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The alarm clock industry was collateral damage in the smartphone wars.2·4 months agoI’m not looking to argue either, I’m just trying to share how I see things, so this feels more like a discussion to me.
I mean yeah, I don’t think anyone can argue against the convenience of modern technology. I just think we’d be fine without smartphones.
Instead of a boom box or a radio (which weren’t really meant to be portable anyways) you could use an mp3 player, by now they’d probably have Bluetooth as well.
I know some people who carry around dedicated calculators despite having a smartphone, so I think if you need it somewhat regularly, you’d just have it with you. And if you don’t have it with you, your calculations are probably not that important and urgent, so you could do them at home if necessary.
Regarding landlines, there’s barely any situation where I feel the need to contact someone right in that moment, so a landline with a voicemail would be fine most of the time.
Long story short, all I’m trying to say is that smartphones have replaced a lot of things that were fine, not just alarm clocks, and I don’t see why they ‘deserved it the least’. I do understand that I can’t expect a shower thought to go that deep though.

The meme clearly implies this is a regular dinner for this imaginary person. The lack of veggies and overconsumption of sugar is exactly what is being memed about
