Sister was messing around with a UV light and noticed this on her phone screen under it. My phone does not have this (all I get is a grid of dots I’m pretty sure are to do with the touch screen).

    I think we can all agree that none of us are going to convince you, and you aren’t going to convince any of us.

      No, we can’t all agree that you, a single person, speak for what thousands of others think.

      And what exactly is it you’re trying to convince me of? Not to use the features of my phone because we need to save the Earth? Keeping in mind that companies like to shift blame to consumers, despite us having negligible impact in comparison to pretty much any industry; Wanna compare carbon footprints?

      If yours is smaller than mine, I’d be surprised. And that isn’t too comprehensive of a quiz. Mine is probably smaller than it calculates. Aside from underwear, I never buy new clothing. I don’t fly to vacations or even have any. I don’t own a car. I bike everywhere. I use local groceries and don’t eat a lot of meat and when I do I preferably game which doesn’t have the same environmental effects.

      I don’t know what my “sin” here is so would you mind telling me what it is I’m supposed to be convincing you of?

      edit: Just got my energy bill today and actually I’m on 100% renewables as per my contract so my footprint is actually even smaller. I notice how none of you downvoters can compare your footprints to mine.

        Lol you’re demonstrating my point.

        Whether or not it’s your intention, you’re being defensive and belligerent. So people are less likely to support your position.

          “Belligerent”. How exactly?

          Like always, you’re just projecting onto a neutral comment.

          I’m not feeling defensive in the slightest, I genuinely can’t give a toss what you think.

          I think I’ve made a good point and you’ve not made a point at all.

          I don’t know what you think we’re arguing over, despite you saying I’m trying to convince you of something by sharing my personal experiences?

          If people are judging me because of how much resources my use of an LLM costs, then I refer again to the carbon footprint and that mine is a very small one.

          I’d be willing to accept criticism from someone with a smaller carbon footprint. Is that you? I strongly doubt it.
