I don’t think it can do that. Though tbf when I had a mbin account I didn’t really try the micro blogging features

Mbin should be able to do that.

Tldr, it’s like lemmy with ability to view and post mastodon and cousins

Do you have a system, or I guess I can say a cipher, for using passphrase? I have one but then I thought what if someone social engineered my cipher, figure it out from whatever beaches or I forgot it?

Now I just use bitwarden to generate passphrase. At least I can remember that for 30 seconds when there are sites or apps that somehow blocks auto filling. And to never forget the master password

I do. It’s where I air my frustrations of heinous service. Been more and more frequent with apps and programs nowadays…

There’s still hope for the rest of the world

Not cool, but cute

That’s a more relatively recent thing.

It doesn’t read as pedophilia apologia to me, and more like a statement that it is unfortunately still done in some cultures on Earth

Oh shoot. Should have actually read the article instead of believing screenshots of the title

IIRC somewhere they also explained it in plain English what the sorting methods do. My layman brain thinks that’s a kind of algorithm.

Kindly correct this layman if I’m misunderstanding :)

Sorry, OP, it’s past midnight where I am and I am not compelled to read your writing just yet. In the morning with coffee would be a better time.

Having said that, despite not really following the reviews, if I’m looking for

1. A new device
2. At that price point
3. And the choice is either windows or Mac

I’m choosing the neo. It even gets a 10 out of 10 repairability rating by ifixit. As a 30s that have used windows all my life learning macOS is as much effort as learning Linux to shed that windows power user habits

Thankfully I’m only limited by budget and have no desire to let fine refurbished laptops languish. And I’m all onboard with Linux so I’ll be getting a refurb thinkpad instead. This also helps local repair shops stay afloat and stop from ewaste pile up

Just have to survive the shit circus Trump gave the world.

Hell yeah. It is also now one of my goals in life to review ass apps like that

My depression. And I’m mid 30s now and my parents are in the 60s. I do not look forward to what will inevitably happen…

Fortunately I got professional help and haven’t been majorly depressed in years. I didn’t do hard drugs or fell into alcoholism back then. On a different timeline with different group of acquaintances I can see myself dead OD. Or jumping. Or bled out. Instead a lot of money and debt accrued coping with material junk and parasocialism. I can’t deny the parasocialism is really the anchor that kept me long enough to get therapy and medication. Now I understand the dangers of it but still.

I am eternally grateful that my government has some semblance of functionality to at least have subsidized healthcare for mental healthcare (and a lot of other health issues).

Of course I’m not fully out of the woods. Nobody with depression truly does I think. It’s always there, bubbling. Now I’m always alert to how my friends, family are of signs of depression. But what worked for me doesn’t always will work for others, so on that aspect I struggle. But at the very least I will lend my attention and shoulders.

Edit 2: I checked the contact page for the dev and went through an archive site to check, and yep, I did recall correctly. it is the same extension. glad that the dev is back maintaining the firefox extension again! best youtube debullshittificator extension IMO

Edit: I’ve checked the version history for the firefox extension and now I’m doubting myself. am I crazy? (yes, I am) was it another extension I’m thinking of?

Wait, hold on. Enhancer for Youtube is back on Firefox? Correct me if I’m wrong, but IIRC the dev didn’t update the extension for firefox for a long time due to some policies mozilla have with extensions, and IIRC it has been stuck at 2.5 something whereas the chromium version gotten the 3.0.

I’ve had to make do with another youtube extension since it keep bugging out.

this is great news!

I’d be a little wary with Kurzgesagt. Tldw their funding can be traced to Bill Gates’ many companies.

How Kurzgesagt Cooks Propaganda For Billionaires

Idk why but this is sort of funny to me.

The FBI too recommends adblockers as part of general web browsing security.

The regulations won’t come from S. Korea in the case of Samsung. And I doubt any other big market for Samsung is going to regulate them as well.

It’s just a fucking shit show. I specifically gotten my s24u because of good lock and the BT stylus. Shouldn’t have trusted the Koreans when they’re already boring cyberpunk dystopia before anyone else

Thank you for explaining. I suppose the comparison to personal vehicles and communal vehicles makes sense to me in regards to energy usage.

I’ll admit my understanding is not deep, but this is how I understand it. Please correct me kindly where I’m wrong.

To get the speed of processing a prompt, it always will depend on the hardware running it to be super simplified. Whether that is run in data centers that serves thousand of people at the same time and you can get as near instant result, or you can run on just a measly consumer hardware that will take longer to process your prompt and get your result.

Data centers take a lot of power to run, so it will disrupt the power grid if it’s not able to cope with it, and increase your power bill.

It takes a lot of water to keep cool, and from what I understand produce water that needs to be treated again to make it safe for consumption. Multi billion dollar corporations are well known for following environmental and safety standards.

It needs a lot of space to build and destroy environments or take away zoning. All those AC will produce a lot of noise pollution

Contrast with running your local machine. Say take a 5090, running with some kind of high end CPU. All those are still running in the confines of your own home. It can not reach the heights of consumption for the infrastructure to support using AI online by the big corporations.

If you’re using a model that a big corpo trained, they are more than likely using the big power hungry data centers. That’s power already spent so going forward I think it’s best that IF you want to use AI, better run it locally that’s on less power hungry “infra”.
