The end of the article does try to take a hopeful tone:

“I definitely prefer talking with people in real life, though,” he added.

I don’t necessarily agree with everything though:

While some of the culture around Character.AI is concerning, it also mimics the internet activity of previous generations who, for the most part, have turned out just fine.

I did try to reduce the impact of what I eat, but I haven’t found a replacement for using chicken with a slow cooker. Beef also tastes good, especially when I eat at a restaurant.

I have stopped making hamburgers on my own (and replaced them with fish or soup), but I haven’t put more effort into reducing my impact recently.

You don’t like a compiled app differently from source code due to it not being FOSS. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say you would prefer the compilation process to be more easily verifiable for you.

Free and open-source software (FOSS) is software that is available under a license that grants the right to use, modify, and distribute the software, modified or not, to everyone free of charge.

I expect this discussion is regarding apps like LibreTube, the license of which is “GNU General Public License v3.0 or later” and is available free of charge.

The GNU General Public License grants the right to use, modify, and distribute the software, modified or not, to everyone free of charge:

Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License.

The GNU General Public License can be applied to programs:

You can apply it to your programs, too.

An app (that is compiled) is a program:

An application (program), especially a small one designed for a mobile device.

Therefore, a compiled app with the GNU General Public License applied is FOSS.

Do you like a compiled app differently from source code used to generate it? Your previous reply made it seem that is true.

Am I incorrect in thinking that a compiled app can be assumed FOSS when the text “License: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later” is on the page I use to install it, along with a link to www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html

I haven’t been stopped from watching YouTube videos for several months now, despite the fact I use different devices at different times. I use addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…/reviews/?utm_s… and addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…/reviews/?utm_s… and addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…/reviews/?utm_s…

I did have problems using YouTube many months ago, but I tried to watch a few videos each day and after a few days things started working normally again.

Those URLs came from about:addons. I think it’s important to provide as much provenance as I can to help people get programs, so I didn’t edit the URL Firefox provided to me.

I don’t think you answered my questions.

I started discussing your likes and dislikes, as an Internet forum is for conversation. How you choose to engage in that conversation is your choice, but it doesn’t mean a conversation isn’t happening.

The reason replied to you is that I wanted to rebut statements that I consider to be incorrect, and to save other people from taking time to do that and from seeing your comment go unanswered. I don’t really care about your replies other than to accomplish those goals. You may perceive that as being disingenuous (though I suspect your behavior is more related to the fact I have disagreements with you, or some preexisting inclination), but I don’t really care about that.

Assumptions do change people’s behavior, probably in many significant ways every day: “it doesn’t have to be fact to cause people to act”. Perhaps you should spend more time expressing your opinions in a compelling way so that people have more knowledge, and therefore don’t need to hold as many assumptions.

LemoineFairclough ,

If you’re not trying to change other people’s behavior, what are you doing?

Finding sources you can trust is helpful. For example, I trust the ArchWiki and POSIX.1-2017, and I follow instructions I find there, which helps me accomplish things without having to spend time thinking about the rationale of those instructions (since the instructions have probably been independently reviewed many times, and if there was something wrong with them I’d probably have heard about that). It would probably also be helpful to be able to trust instructions at libretube.dev for similar reasons.

I don’t think keeping my thoughts to myself is a good idea, since I don’t want other people to disrupt my life (unintentionally or intentionally), and giving notice about how I want to spend my life is helpful.

I do think my comments are helpful (and that helpfulness is relevant). If I didn’t think that I wouldn’t be commenting.

they’re funding 37 wars.

Do you have a source for this? I only see 28 global conflicts and 16 wars involving the United States marked as “Ongoing conflict” or “Another result”.

I don’t know about today, but in the past New Jersey required that “expiration dates” be stamped on bottled water: nj1015.com/does-bottled-water-expire-nj-was-the-o…

Even if similar markings are not required by law everywhere in the USA, food manufacturers are probably afraid of getting sued due to violating local laws, or even international laws if the food is transported across borders, so it’s probably negligent to neglect printing them.

80000hours.org probably has information relevant to you, and they do have specific comments about IT roles, and many careers they talk about are related to computers in some way.

I believe Skiff would automatically start using end to end encryption when it was available, without any user needing to enable it for any specific email, using the Web Key Directory standard: github.com/privacyguides/…/email.md#openpgp-compa…

It’s not good for me that an email provider that supports that is undergoing dramatic changes, as an open standard that protects my privacy is more useful when it is used with more services.

Who knew world peace would be so easy? (sh.itjust.works)

Genocidal AI: ChatGPT-powered war simulator drops two nukes on Russia, China for world peace OpenAI, Anthropic and several other AI chatbots were used in a war simulator, and were tasked to find a solution to aid world peace. Almost all of them suggested actions that led to sudden escalations, and even nuclear warfare....

This page is disgustingly complicated and has an uncomfortable amount of motion on it. Could you share less nauseating links in the future?

That’s a difficult question honestly, as you’d want the host to be able to fund itself in a way that’s tax efficient or otherwise incentivized (like not showing ads or using trackers in exchange for donations).

A solution popular in recent times on Lemmy is catbox.moe and I have probably been using it before Lemmy was even created, as it is referenced by the Pomf Clones and File Hosting Comparisons document which was created in 2018.

At the very least, imgur.com has a less crowded interface and surely makes enough money from ads and trackers to be sustainable in the medium term.

Essentially nobody under the age of 50 dies, especially in the western world: ourworldindata.org/…/number-of-deaths-by-age-grou…

Having learned this lets me quickly resolve thoughts of “what if I die” or “what if this person who is important to me dies” because I can reasonably predict whether that death will happen soon.
