So, reddit lets you upload text posts, videos or images, pure links etc.

But for a while now, I can ONLY do pure text posts. Even on subreddits that are purely about images only.

The only thing I can do is upload images within a text post, like so

But these images are not shown/previewed in the timeline of others. The actual image post, that shows just the image, is just not doable for me anymore? Same with video or links. No matter what subreddit. Only the pure text posts are available to me. Whats going on?

In almost every Discussion with AI Bros, once you mention the absurd environmental impact AI Datacenters have (power generation, pollution, water waste/poisoning, space, noise, etc.), the immediate reply is, without fail, something like

"Reddit needs a datacenter too, and you use that!" and everything along those lines.

These comments immediately show you that the person who says that is either purposfully trying to spread bullshit just to somehow be in the right, or they are absolutely no idea about Ressource Usage.

I am taking most of these people have no concept of how much Hardware different jobs take, and just think "Datacenter = Datacenter", no matter the size or hardware inside.

An AI Datacenter is pretty much nothing but GPUs/Pure AI Accelerators. Massive Ressource Heavy Matrix Calculators, that produce an insane amount of heat, need the most amount of power and infrastructure.

It applies to a normal gaming PC as well, your GPU is the biggest power draw (in a normal configuration. If you have a super low power GPU but some insane CPU, maybe the CPU Draws more, but the absolute vast majority of PCs will have the GPU as the biggest power drawer and heat producer, without fail)

And then on the other side, you have..pretty much everything else. Reddit, Discord, Minecraft Servers, Steam Servers, Gaming Server, everything else that is not AI. These systems run in datacenters as well, and that is where the "truth" of AI Bros statement ends. These systems need a FRACTION of what an LLM Needs.

Reddit for example, is just a webpage. Delivering a webpage to a PC are a few predefined HTML lines, plus a few other elements that get loaded on demand. A simple, very well optimized file transfer each time. These things can run on minimal hardware. People host their own social media, game servers and similar things on Raspberry Pis and many other VERY low power hardware.

And while the ENTIRETY of something like reddit needs more hardware than a single Gaming PC, it is absolutely laughable compared to AI.

Everyone with the slightest knowledge about technology knows this. AI Bros constantly coming up with "but X needs datacanters too!" are clearly completely out of their knowledge field.

Not to mention the fact that things like Reddit, Gaming Servers etc. are purposfully built to be efficient. The less power they need, the better.

AI Companies threw any level of optimization out of the window. Just throw more hardware onto it. The more power draw, the better.

And even if AI Companies attempt to do some level of optimization, the ressource requirements for everything is STILL insane, and not justified whatsoever for the result.

Lastly, to clarify: "AI" in this post fully limits to Generative AI. Video generators, image generators, LLMs. There are AI Projects that do things in the medical field, or are recommendation algorithms, that all are built to be efficient. That do an actual purpose, and dont require 50 Datacenters. These kind of AI Models can be trained on a single Gaming GPU, and is by no means part of this Generative AI Bullshit that requires insane ressources.

Ich kann das wirklich nicht mehr.

Das ist absolut abartig, was diese Opfer Partei, zusammen mit der SPD uns jetzt alles reindrücken.

Jahresverträge auf 48 Monate anheben, plus SECHSmalige Verlängerung (Grundlos)

Rentenalter einfach auf ein massives Alter Erhöhen

Krankmeldepflicht ab Tag 1 einführen (wird halt sofort dafür sorgen, dass sich jeder direkt ne volle Woche abmeldet)

Abschaffung der 8 Stunden Tage, und dafür "flexiblere Modelle", die ein heimlicher Versuch sind die 40 Stunden Monate auf über 70 Stunden hoch zu schleichen.

Und so weiter...

Das ist alles so krank. Diese Partei zerstört gerade alles.

Ich muss ernsthaft anfangen mein Geld zu sparen zum auswandern.

Ich hatte letztens ein Gespräch bei der Sparkasse, weil die mit mir mal über Altersvorsorge reden wollten. Die Sparkasse habe ich an sich nicht wirklich vor zum Investieren zu benutzen, da die bekanntermaßen ziemlich wilde % wollen.

Bin trotzdem mal hin, und die Themen wie aktiv gemanagte Fonds für "nur" 3.5% Gebühren hab ich direkt abgesagt. Bausparvertrag macht auch nicht wirklich Sinn, also blieb nur das Thema Altersvorsorge.

Der "Berater" war wenigstens so transparent zu sagen, dass die ganzen Neobroker weniger Gebühren wollen etc., aber dafür würde es sich beim Auszahlen in ein paar Jahrzehnten ja Steuerlich anders rechnen. "Starke Steuervorteile von 25% plus 5% Soli auf die 25 gerechnet"

Gerechnet hatten wir erstmal mit einer Sparrate von 500 Euro, wobei 20 abgehen würden monatlich für eine BU "Versicherung", das wenn ich BU geschrieben werde, die Sparkasse meine Sparrate weiter einzahlt. Bis ich wieder arbeiten kann, oder eben Rentner bin.

Die Details hab ich nicht mehr auf dem Schirm, aber generell wollte ich mal die Meinungen/Erfahrungen von anderen hier hören.

Die Frage die sich stellt ist, das Geld lieber langfristig in ein Depot wie Flatex, Trade Republic etc. stecken, oder zur Sparkasse?

Für die Rente ein bisschen vorsorgen will ich schon, aber ich will auch nicht Jahrzehnte lang von meinem Geld garnichts haben. Zumal ein Haus kaufen auch in den nächsten paar Jahren passieren soll.

Eine Million auf dem Investkonto zu haben sobald ich in die Rente gehe, bringt mir als Rentner dann nicht mehr so viel.

Daher bin ich gerade am überlegen ob ich lieber in ETF etc. gehen soll, oder die klassische "Altersvorsorge". Da ich Investieren sowieso noch nicht lange mache.

Zum Personenkontext:

Mitte 20, in den nächsten paar Jahren habe ich vor einen Hauskredit zu holen, und ansonsten investieren um mein Geld etwas arbeiten zu lassen, plus natürlich was für später zu haben.

I already have the process going of listing things I don't need anymore on "Kleinanzeigen". Essentially Germanys version of graigslist. You put up used things on there, people can come pick them up or have them be sent over, that concept should be clear.

Currently, I list all sorts of things I have (LED Lamp, Calculator, Keyboard, etc) for a small price. If no one picks it up within a few weeks, I lower the price, until it is just free. If no one picks it up over all this time, I might as well give simple things like these away for free.

But if even THEN no one comes get it, well, I cant store these things forever. So there would come the point of me eventually throwing these things in the Trash.

Which I would like to avoid..

I don't really have an idea for what to do after the Kleinanzeigen Approach failed, so maybe someone here has some ideas, where I can bring these things?

I am using my Insta360 X5 pretty much only for 3D Scanning environments. However, the stitching line is breaking the scanning, worsening the results and details.

It would help a whole lot, if I could export the 360 video, while it does not have any stitch lines. Just have the video cut off where the view of each lense ends, and not have a stitch line that tries to merge them together.

Is there an option for this anywhere? Because then I can use that missing space to just mask it out, making the scanning tools ignore that area, giving me a perfectly fine "2 camera, almost 360 view", that is much easier to use
