I'm not sure what they even meant. Possibly that social media replaced real communication and made inroads into our social lives, all of which have now been taken over by all the bullshit? Because yeah that sounds right

The other explanation is right but what's freddo?
No. "In practice, inference [which is to say, queries, not training] can account for up to 90% of the total energy consumed over a modelβs lifecycle." Source.
You can't say with certainty that you'd derive no stimulation from that, since you have not tried deriving stimulation from it.
The multi-billion dollar entertainment industry isn't there because we need it. It's there because we like it. What we need is to connect with the real world, which is a skill, and as such requires practice.
Afaik, it's not recommended to have them in kitchens, because harmless culinary mistakes can set them off so people end up disabling them in annoyance. You have to have one in a common area on every floor, but ideally not the kitchen.
If you aren't willing to work on your social skills, you need to stay in a position where you don't need them.
The radios would need to have a very, very short range to avoid this. You'd need to know that everyone who can hear you can also see you (and potentially follow you if they'd like a word face to face), which is the accountability aspect that's missing from online interactions.
What do you carry in there?
No, not morally. What? The Luddites have not always been wrong about the adoption of a particular technology ultimately being a net negative on society/individuals/humanity. Citing their "failure" as a reason to blindly champion any use of technology is kind of weird.
Luddites "fail" to hold back technology insofar as many technologies are indeed adopted, but that doesn't mean their message of temperance has never had any effect on how technology is adopted, or that all technologies have improved life on Earth. And of course not all technology has taken off. Yes, it's hard to stop a moving train once an idea is getting popular, but we all get to choose whether to climb aboard. I wonder why it seems to ruffle your feathers to hear from people who don't.
Ludditism always fails
But not necessarily because they were wrong.
TJ's isn't boutique, though. Before I actually shopped there, I conflated it with Fresh Market for years, but it turned out they were far and away the cheapest grocery option anywhere near me until we got Aldi.
I shop Aldi more now because our TJ's is always so busy, but since they're all store-brand, their prices are still usually on the low side (other than meats).

It's generally tougher in the U.S. because a lot of our smaller cities were founded post-automobile, post-suburbia and post-shopping malls, and as such they don't have town centers. At best they might have a main retail corridor.
