Silence is violence? :)

I feel this is an attempt to get a rhyme going at the expense of logic failing.

There is relief right now if you don’t follow politics. :)

Since you do, I guess you enjoy reading about the worst of humanity.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I disagree actually. It affects your life but you can’t do anything about it. What the politicians say is just hot air anyway. It’s pointless to get emotionally involved and manipulated by their statements. Even bad for you.

Upcoming automatic screenshots of your screen on a regular basis! - 1000 (Microsoft Recall)

This is a horrible, horrible software that nobody should run…

People said it back then too. The ad and tracking industry will always invade more and more of our privacy. When will there be enough tracking to make them stop and be happy? Never. Never is the only answer.

Haven’t seen any ads. Maybe your Lemmy app is inserting ads?

I don’t know. Only reason I create an account is to comment and post. Why otherwise have one?

It’s house MD, one of the best shows ever made. If you missed out, I envy you for getting to watch it for the first time… I’m on my third or fourth run through all the seasons.

I would put it up there with Breaking Bad in terms of quality.

I think people are confusing it with Hollywood. There are many jews in Hollywood and many Jewish traditions are seen in American movies.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

Well not when it’s a company that people can’t get away from. Big tech is so big and there are so few alternatives that they can treat people how they like.

We are living in the mega corp world now where they have more money than countries.

Money is power to make the rules what you want.

Well this is by design. Some conspiracy theories are just out there to make everyone think all conspiracy theories are hoaxes. They are the completely idiotic ones that is impossible to even see how they would work.

The entire flat earth society is also a complete hoax. It’s just there because people Google on these things and that’s the first hit the search engines give you. I think they say on the page that the earth is like an elevator that goes up all the time, or something like that. :)

I don’t know, been on Kagi for a year so forgot Google.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Kagi is just excellent so I guess that’s why. It’s so good I completely forgot about Google when I tried it.

I used ddg a few years back too but I always had to use Google for certain queries and never felt fully satisfied with the search results. It felt like a worse search engine that I was using because I didnt want to use Google.

With Kagi it’s the opposite. It’s a better search engine than Google. It’s Google results without the dark patterns and hostile behavior from google.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Just set Kagi as default search in your browser. There is a plugin you can install that does it, easiest way.

I’m super disappointed also in what these burger chains offer. All of them have small shitty burgers full of sugar.

Started making my own burgers. It takes 10 minutes! Mix meat and a bit of salt and pepper and make the pieces really thin. Fry in pan. It’s delicious.

Fast food is disgustingly expensive for the amount of food you get too. Their drinks are ultra cheap sugar water, and even that they are thinking of limiting.

I knew I would get opposing views here :)

There are many ways to do it, but I think everyone should make their own at home. It’s super tasty and quick.

Kind of hard to return this after 195 years if it fails.

Just one small issue with that… I probably don’t live for another 195 years. :)

People like Elon Musk as exactly like the kid in the sandbox who wanted the entire sandbox for himself, and who would fight for all sandboxes in the yard despite not being able to use them.

That kind of personality will take all until nothing is left.

Sounds really dramatic in a news item though. Click bait. :)

But yeah, I recently moved away from these cloud services and have a Nas at home now. Only encrypted backups in cloud. Because fuck Google.

Google is not showing the web anymore, it’s showing it’s own content now, stolen from the web.

People don’t even leave their site now with Ai results, that Google controls and can modify how they want.

Not sure what to do about this. The general public will be completely lost in Google.

Why do Microsoft have to welcome people to their software? Is it because they otherwise wouldn’t feel welcome using it? :P

Oh really? Let’s calculate the power usage or billions of devices downloading and serving ads.

As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Late thirties is aging? That’s like peak life. You have money and family (at least a chance of that) and purpose in your life. You have confidence and you know who you are.

You are still a bit dumb, but less dumb than twenty somethings. I liked my late thirties.

Yeah it just works now. Sometimes I miss the days where we had to troubleshoot sound drivers, because it made us learn so much. Even if we didn’t manage to fix the problem, we learned about how sound works in Linux.

I agree with you, and that is a hellish environment to work in.

There must be a better middle ground for all of this.
