The monkey needs a hug.

The world is waaay dummer and less fair than you think so don’t stress about things too much cause it’s rigged anyway.

Having said that, persistence does eventually get you there

The endgame is feudalism.

It’s not about money, it’s about controlling everything through the scam that is private ownership.

Not only that but back then you didn’t have to worry about it with a simple rule:

They ask you a question, do they know your name or who you are? No? It’s anonymous.

Now you don’t have that anymore. Anything can be linked backed to you cause there is always a digital finger print.

Even if you ask random people on the street, there is facial recognition and cameras everywhere.

So I recently installed Immich and it does it for me using local AI

Somehow I am much less scared of AI being forced into everything compared to VR or crypto.

I guess it’s because I know AI is a nothing burger and will slowly lose hype.

Although this is terrible, once again a headline on lemmy made me paranoid only to find out that my phone probably doesn’t even support this.

Going through the settings and turning things off is second nature to me by now, it’s not unique to Apple (looking at your Microsoft).

What we need is an opt out mode on every device. Similar to the accept necessary cookies only, we need every device to let you fully opt out from everything it can when you boot it up for the first time.

Yep, I don’t see it either but that might be because I’m on an older iOS.

I fully believe it, been thinking of playing metal gear 5 now that it’s finally a good age for me to play it as a patient gamer.

Also, I finished Witcher 3, it taking closer to 10 years sounds about right for me for an RPG.

Instructions unclear, ended up in a cabin alone in the woods.

Pretty good article, this stood out for me:

Something about George Romero’s 1978 film about doomed survivors riding out the zombie apocalypse in a shopping mall feels resonant today as I look across Meta’s suite of AI-created profiles. The movie’s blue-skinned corpses don’t know they’re dead. They just wander through the shopping center on autopilot, looking for something new to consume.

That’s how many of our social media spaces feel now. Digital town squares populated by undead posters, zombies spouting lines they learned from an LLM, the digested material from decades of the internet spewed back at the audience. That’s what Meta is selling now.

It’s a feature, I’m gonna try to remember people’s names more

Does this mean there will be less mainstream interest with step porn?

I love my sparse but botless lemmy

I wouldn’t call that mutable, more like version tracking in which each torrent is aware of future versions.

I kind of like that, but you might be able to accomplish it with a plugin or something.

Put a file in the torrent called “versions” or something like that, and in there would be a url that the client can use to tell you if there is a new version.

It wouldn’t change the protocol though, since the new version and old version would still need to be separate entities with different data and different seeding.

What’s the advantage to that? I don’t want the torrent I’m downloading to change.

The profit motive

A better question is, what would you improve over current way that torrents work.

The very same. I saved a few dollars here and there which I would be more than happy to trade for some decent regulations on the things I buy.

What’s funny is that I still got taxed for the expensive stuff I bought, just not a few take out orders and one toy I bought. Success?
