Love seeing friendly people like this. I would replace Musk and Trump with you on the planet.

Those apps are toxic and will kill your confidence unless you are really good looking. Girls have hundreds of matches for showing up. But they are so shallow so they filter out most of the guys and most likely miss a lot of people they would really like. :)

Actually I would go as far as saying that social media has made girls think they are some kind of a super creature, deserving of thousands of guys just admiring them. Lols.

I went full Lemmy for a while but have to admit I'm reading reddit again, but without their dumb app. Just the web browser.

Looking through a few subreddits, see what's new for five minutes. I don't post anymore, don't have an account.

Total brain damage on some of the Karens.

I guess they see themselves as strong independent women. :)

Definently only old thinkpads. I had two new ones break on me so now I'm not buying them anymore. One had mouse pad just go numb, the other one had the left control key stop working. I don't even travel with the laptops. :)

My stationary keyboard has worked for like ten years, and so has my mouse....

I wonder how many of those guys are actually trying to put women down, and how many are just trying to be helpful and talk to another human being.

I'm surprised this is news to people but I guess sex education varies between countries maybe.

I agree :) And I let them make this mistake for that reason too. Just like you say, it's best to go out there and try things and sometimes fail.

I still fail when I go my own way but I prefer it, because when I succeed, it's also my own win!

Happens all the time yeah.

I tried to find where it was but can't find it...

 

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... :)

 

Julian Assange is free.

After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.

I'm wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.

I personally don't trust Snowden. Looking at the difference between how he was treated and how Assange was treated. One guy gets to rot in prison, other guy gets movies made about him from Hollywood. Snowden is very much controlled opposition in my mind.

But that being said, I think he is truthful about OpenAI. Which sucks, because now I and many others love using chat gpt.

It's possible to self host these things though. I read an article about it here:

https://blog.lytix.co/posts/self-hosting-llama-3

But probably not worth the money for most people.

 

I think its not just kids anymore, it's adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from "social" media and don't have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.

 

I think this is the perfect analogy for what's happening right now to the open web.

We are part of the Cosy Web here on Lemmy.. :)

 

This is actually pretty brilliant and innovative.

With other solutions, the "key" that re-enables distractions is always present. Brick allows you to leave that key behind, turning your phone into a new, distraction-free device until you return.

This tickles some part of my brain... The scanning part is so cool. Would you use an app like this?

 

This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

Get your shorts ready, this will be very interesting to follow. Seems like the stock will appear tomorrow already?

I fully expect a nosedive in stock price but who knows. Maybe a pump and dump.

 

Who is actually surprised by this? I would be more surprised if young Americans felt it was a great place to live.
