Seeming that I’m getting increasingly pissed off by Spotify giving 5 or more ads without 30 minute adless times and for every 5th song rather than every 8th or 10th, I’m gonna have even more stress from the doubling of all google ads.

At least ublock origin lite does its job pretty well on YouTube, so I won’t need to worry until google eventually kills that too.

I am a living breathing example of a kid who got a phone at 17, I had a bit of a honeymoon period with it, had lots of fun and distraction, but eventually got used to it and actually use it for organising my schoolwork to do list, check the weather and my daily schedule.

I do tend to use social media on it, but only on the bus, since that’s usually when I don’t have anything else to do. I self limit my screen time pretty well, usually only 30 mins to an hour total per day, and I’ve always had all my devices without parental control systems, since my parents never knew how to set them up.

Also, you saying it’s never about algorithms designed to siphon your attention is inherently incorrect of a statement. They literally have hundreds of data metrics to effectively lock you into staring at the screen mindlessly, although parenting also has a part to play, since you also should teach your child on how to control their attention and harness it to actually do something fulfilling, though many parents don’t know how to.

Apparently you can live with a BiVACOR TAH for around 10 years without replacement due to the Maglev system inside it.

Gosh it feels like cyberpunk 2077 is just a few years away, we just need more corporate built cities.

Agreed

Same but I thought Louis had a brother who became evil for some reason 😭

Rawdogging programming without comments hits different, but eventually fucks you over lmao

My favourite way to liken LLMs to something else is to autocorrect, it just guesses, and it gets stuff wrong, and it is constantly being retrained to recognise your preferences, such as it starting to not correct fuck to duck for instance.

And it’s funny and sad how some people think these LLMs are their friends, like no, it’s a collosally sized autocorrect system that you cannot comprehend, it has no consciousness, it lacks any thought, it just predicts from a prompt using numerical weights and a neural network.

Where holyC

Yeah, their “innovative AI operating system architecture” doesn’t seem very innovative now.

I would wager that turning it into a clock that uses text to speech to tell the time when you tap the touchpad and the laser projector to see it visually, would be the only solution where it doesn’t overheat instantly.

Australia already has this, but it is extremely easy to circumvent, just use a different VPN.

It also showed up on my android 11 Reno z

If I had a nickel for every time I reported a pervy corporation to the ACCC, I’d have two nickels– which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Fair point, definitely still apart of the same style of platform but not the same protocol.

although it is federated, it isn’t apart of the fediverse, as it doesn’t use activitypub.

They wouldn’t need ads if they took a cut from all the porn and crypto ad bots littering the comment sections

Although it might not seem like it, not all users of tiktok are the doom scroller brain-dead stereotype you believe. Tiktok has helped many small businesses get off their feet, allowed people and groups to get donations they may need, and has facilitated education about topics from news to interesting facts to scientific phenomenon and beyond.

Granted, it does have its negatives, like brain rot content and the hyperfocused algorithm, but it has it’s pretty amazing aspects as well.

I dug a little deeper and, at first I didn’t think it was correct, but I found that ReagentOS uses the Rehearsal DE, which seems to be the right one. I admit, I did only skim through the text so I didn’t catch that when checking it. Thanks for the help!

A DE is a desktop environment, it comprises of the UI, a suite of apps and other components.

During my research, I found that it was much more niche and unknown than I expected and I got many results about deepin desktop but unfortunately it’s not the right one. this one seems to be much more simpler than deepin and doesn’t seem to share any components with it either I believe.
