That’s why I keep my toothbrush wrapped in paper.

ricey crackers, they have chocolate and rice. everything one needs, besides some water…

Yeah, I predict that in the future, you can’t expect that content on the internet is written by humans. If you go to the internet, then it will probably not be to connect to other humans. Maybe you want to know something that a bot can tell you or you have some administrative task to fulfill, like filing a form.

First of all, yes, attempts have been made, but:

• E-Mail is widespread, but not simple. It’s quite complicated
• Other messengers often try to simplify the protocol.

There’s things that I like about myself that I cannot put into words; it’s more a feeling.

The nazis, too, had a lot of power and yet they lost WW II.

it’s called the Paradox Of Tolerance.

yeah sorry i didn’t mean to sound rude. It’s just that I’ve heard too much “corporate bullshit talk” that i can’t just stay calm when i hear it.

in other words, an asshole

The technological innovations of the last fifteen years, from advertising enshittifcation to AI cheating, have largely been a disaster. We are sadly at the point where, as Ted Gioia says, “most so-called innovations are now anti-progress by any honest definition.” I dare say that if we could revert all digital technology to where it was in 2009 – before the invention of the retweet – we’d all be better off.

I’d go back even further (to 2007) before the invention of the iPhone. The smartphone has, arguably, IMO been a bad, or at least premature invention. It created a generation of kids obsessed with their photographies, giving girls eating disorders and creating/spreading unrealistic beauty ideals, etc… Also it has severely disrupted teenagers’ social living, created sleeping disorders, chronic doomscrolling, addiction, and more bad stuff. The iPhone was, IMO, not ready for this world.

Yeah at this point peertube is mostly a video hosting system. We still need a good discovery/finding/recommendation system. I think that could be independently developed; for example: upload the videos on peertube and then link and post them here on lemmy to promote them.

I was going to upvote but then:

Hopefully it will start leaning into its unique strengths now and become really innovative.

Please stop the corporate garbage talk/pitching bullshit. Can’t we have a normal discussion without these buzzwords?

So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!” And I do not give a shit about linux. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content.

There’s also https://pony.tube ;-)

Why are politicians doing nothing for first time home buyers?

Why aren’t universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

Because that would be socialism, obviously!

isn’t that why the hippie movement ended?

my dad uses this LLM python code generation quite routinely, he says the output’s mostly fine.

Competition is good!

I wonder when AI “competition” will crush the free market.

yeah but you could do that with one big company just as well. that has nothing to do with them splitting up
