I did ayahusca about 10 years ago. I had this big desire to figure out why we are here and what's the point of all the suffering we go through.

I came out of it thinking it's about soul growth.

No. I would put it under intuition and being present in your life, observing and thinking about events that occur in your life.

I think reasoning is more trying to think logically, and exclude things where you don't have an objective reason to think it has a meaning.

I'm actually open to the idea that all this is not real. Also, I don't believe in drugs.

Have you ever had that feeling that you can see why something happened to you, or how you can sense that something is important and you should pay attention to it?

The great circle... Lols. That's a really bad name.

Sounds like you should reconsider how you spend your life on earth.

Plasma is just the most excellent software, and it's managing to be much better than windows while being free.

It's because people don't have emotional maturity. They can't stand someone having a different opinion. They don't want to see that, they want to be protected from it by a daddy (moderator).

What happened to strong confident men? They are certainly not part of the Lemmy generation here.

Comments get reported for absolutely ridiculous reasons. If there was an actual war where we needed eachother, these men would be absolutely destroyed by not being able to be shielded from the opinions of their fellow humans.

People are being exploited and screwed over left and right. Piracy is not even a blip on the radar.

If society was built on moral rules and honest behavior, then maybe people should feel bad about pirating. But this society? Lols.

I struggle to even see the difference from slavery on most days.

The word consumer is so demeaning... But yes.

Humans are actually the only real producers in the world if you think about it. Everything around you is built by other humans.

We rarely think about that.

It's more like they don't make fun games.

It's a failure of leadership, as usual.

Amazing, we have so much choice now. /s

My plasma 6 desktop has absolutely stunning icons, and im like you - I like proper icons that look more interesting.

Try plasma 6, I'm sure those icon sets are also much more complete. :)

 

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

 

This is not revolutionary but it saves some keystrokes when wanting to limit results to certain sites.

Personally I don't really limit anything with Kagi. It's usually just finding what I want without having to do anything.

 

I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...

 

I can't express how much I love hetzner doing this. There is a huge market for people who just need some instances and reliable/cheap object storage to run their apps.

 

Some quotes from the article:

There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program.

We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane.

Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors.

These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.

 

Who is surprised?

I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

 

I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.

Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

 

I tried this last night and I actually really like it. The default theme seems to have changed also and looks much cleaner.

And you can have AI models open in the sidebar. Not only chatgpt but also other open source and free models like huggingface. I thought that was very cool.

I don't know if the general public have even tried any other model than chatgpt. It's fun to play around with others.

Meta had been using facial recognition software on photos uploaded to Facebook without Texans’ consent.

 

Netflix execs needs a new jet.

 

Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from "social" media?

Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay... :)
