I switched to Kagi in january 2022 and havent even tried Google search since then. So it has an Ai telling people to kill themselves now? Seems par for the course.

The only protests that work are the ones that hit Elon financially.

Even though he is a narcissist and will never realize its his own fault.

Not sure he is missing out on much... Another 50 years of working to stay alive...

Maybe he moved on to a better place.

And the terrorism, remember how terrorism was being used to scare everyone for more than a decade?

If you believe the voting system is not corrupt, then sure. Just seems to me that the richest men in the world can make the voting system say what they want.

Im in Europe and I was listening to the news today. Appearently Europe is trying to put up a defence force against Russia but they said they are not doing it without USA.

Good luck Europe.

I learned about America mostly through Hollywood... Hollywood still pushes the same hero crap but reality has changed significantly.

Tom Cruise was lucky he made Top Gun 2 before Trump era of idiocracy.

I dont know any successful European cloud, not like the US ones. We have hetzner and stuff like that, but nothing comes close to Amazon or Google with its hundreds of services. Not sure we could compete.

 

If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't.

I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

 

Is gen z intentionally refusing to change their behavior for work, or what is the reason for this?

Kind of think it's cool that they remain themselves.

 

Similar to America, Europe is also artificially trying to make consumers choose native cars, by making Chinese ones more expensive.

This article describes the real reason behind the push back to the office. It's about rich people gambling on real estate and now office buildings are empty.

These same people own newspapers and media channels which is why their crying voices are being pushed.

 

Not long to go now :) Frostpunk 1 was one of my all time favorite games and I think everyone should check out the sequel. It's been getting stellar reviews.

 

My favorite quote:

While employees in the office might kill time messaging friends or flipping through TikTok, remote workers take advantage of being far from the watchful gaze of bosses to chip away at personal to-do lists or to goof off.

Nearly half of remote workers multitask on work calls or complete household chores like unloading the dishwasher or doing a load of laundry, according to the SurveyMonkey poll of 3,117 full-time workers in the U.S.

Oh noes, people actually doing things that are useful for their families instead of even more computer time.

It's insane that this is even considered strange or surprising. When I work from home, I take longer lunch breaks and I often stop working earlier, but I'm still three times as productive compared to sitting in an office.

At home, I actually get focused time to do something and think. At the office, this is extreamly difficult with all the distractions and noise constantly interrupting my train of thought.

 

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.
