Awesome, love the Let it be cover!

Check your PM.

Nah, I don’t like to jab at the USA by normalizing the shit load of money flowing into their politics, especially into some stupid election campaigns.

I want to avoid time-consuming games like Dota 2 or Crusader Kings 3…

Did people at [email protected] express that they aren’t interested in reading these articles, too? Because an AI-related community on a programming-related instance semantically conveys the same environment as a community dedicated to AI coding specifically in my opinion.

If this had been enforced consistently, it’s a different story. But at least at my school I was allowed to cite random blog articles, outdated news and anything else I found, as long as it wasn’t Wikipedia.

Some reasons for “I have nothing to hide” that I see and that need different reasoning are:

Naivety: Some people simply have no idea how much data and what kind of sensitive data is collected. How do you convince them? Well, it seems like even a lot of “privacy-aware” people seem to act purely on suspicion and never requested a data collection report from a service or at least looked up other people’s results on the internet. They claim that it doesn’t matter, because you don’t know how much they are actually collecting. But you will definitely convince more people, if they see on paper what data is definitely collected “officially”.

Acceptance, but naivety about life changes: Some people are aware, but they accept it and may even want it, because they enjoy the benefit of personalized content. They don’t think their data would ever be used for anything else and they claim to be “not interesting” enough to be looked up. Where is the problem? Well, if they accept it, that’s fine, but you should remind them that life and our world can change in unexpected ways. Not everyone who is prosecuted now, knew beforehand they would be and if it comes to that and you were not at least aware of your internet identity, you are carrying a big vulnerability with you.

Full acceptance: Some people don’t even care about that. They’ll just let the future happen. What can you say about that? Well, you can raise the point that their decision on their privacy does also also affect the people around them. But, honestly in my opinion it’s not their responsibility to handle that problem. At that point, the question is who that person is to you and whether or not you are responsible for them.

I see where you are coming from and I agree that the big advantage of the metric system is not specifically conversion or anything in particular, but in general that everything fits together due to the coherent units and ratio.

How often do y’all convert your measurements? It’s not even a daily thing.

It’s not literally an active daily task, but the effortless conversion benefits your mental image of measurements in general and you don’t even have to think about the conversion in the first place. I do not think you are unique in this though. When you live in a place that uses the imperial system (sorry for assuming. Correct me, if I’m wrong), your personal benefit of using the metric system is limited in your daily life.

This is one part of the post.

EDIT: This is the other part of the post that I actually want you to interact with, but I’m adding it later to make it look like a casual reply to the comments.

Yes, vice versa even to a young bird like me 2018 was just yesterday and the acquisition by Microsoft feels even more recent.

Is it perhaps this Lemmy post that leads to https://www.unlistedjobs.com/ ?

They’re welcome, but the platform in the fediverse that covers the Tiktok-kind of content specifically is Loops.

I’ve been using a height adjustable standing desk for 2-3 years now. The option to switch between sitting and standing was a major improvement. It’s obviously not a replacement to active movement and I’m looking forward to get a walking pad soon. But I’m glad I even went this direction.

One can only fight this pessimism for themselves. For some people there is no urge to fight it. They want to be part of the hardest times. Perhaps it works as a coping mechanism and in the end the problems most relatable to you are those that you are facing.

But if someone truly wants to feel less pessimism, all you have to do is to look back and reflect on history. A lot of people miss how long some “modern” problems have truly existed, long before it became relevant to them, from decades to millenniums. Some are totally aware of it, but it may be difficult to look at the past of a problem where you didn’t care about it or may even have been part of the problem. Or the history was so long ago that you only look at is as stories and nothing you can relate to.

We also underestimate our ability to live through the hell and normalize it. We were doomed multiple times and here we are. Vice versa, we underestimate the quality of life (especially in the western world) we have today. It’s not only hygiene, health and entertainment. We have progressed in our thoughts so much. Again, a lot of problems have only changed in how we recognize them as such. I’m not saying you shouldn’t fight fascism, because a lot of modern fascism used to be normalized not too long. I’m saying that we should be aware that we live in a time where we don’t ignore these problems in the first place.

Uhm. Is the article talking about the information gathered…with the web search tool? They do realize that it’s just an abstraction layer that won’t magically fix the misinformation on the internet, right?

Once again it seems like I don’t even have an IQ ¯\(ツ)/¯

Yes, but there are quite a few communities that cover this already, e.g. [email protected].

OMORI is one of my favorite games, perhaps even my #1, in general.
