"The main goal of this thesis was to not be derivative garbage like the works of Big Name et al."

Look, I also left Reddit because it got worse, but this just reads like "I said something racist and people got mad" to me.

Greenwashing is a bit harsh, no? From what I've seen, Fairphone is fairly involved in the improvement of production processes and usage patterns of phones (fairer wages, safer/cleaner ressource extraction, long-term software support, easier repairability for a wide audience) to the extent that this is possible for a relatively small company. They haven't always delivered on every one of these points, but have had a pretty strong record in recent years, stronger than any other company I know of. Or maybe there are other companies that do this better or similarly well?

Historians will at some point look at this comic strip as a representation of "cringe" that predates the word that later came to describe it.

Come to think of it, one thing I truly despise about the current state of AI is its verbosity. You ask the stupidest question, and the response is always some multipage essay (or longer if you ask nicely) that looks all important but is composed of 90% filler and bullshit, until it ends with "In conclusion, ..." followed by the actual answer. Enough intelligence to string sentences together ad infinitum but not enough to provide actual answers that fit the question.

English isn't my first language. What does "tossing one's hair" mean?

No, it would just be the 🤣 emoji in different colors.

I wouldn't even call this "aesthetics". Rather "conceptual homogeneity" or something like that. It's what happens when you strive for a uniform look over a useful or visually pleasing one.

Trump choosing his VP:

Give me the hillbilly.

I said the real hillbilly.

Perfection.

Well, Trump knows that RFK Jr. has some help in the ol' thinkin' machine.

I swear my upstairs neighbors have bowling balls where other people have feet.
