I think you have to be a man to understand how the body feels like. Its just designed to lift and pull things. So you feel strong in those areas without doing anything.

I will stop using it of course. There is a price to pay for not being affected by this. Its not going to be free.

Ah you meant like that…

Yeah, the power these companies have over our lives is very disturbing. They have positioned themselves as something most academic people really need, at least linkedin has.

Then I will just update my profile to a link my own cv page.

Absolutely never using any service that requires this. I dont even have any account on those platforms and I never will.

To me it was 9/11 that started the insanity… Either way, if you look at movies from the 80s and movies from today, you clearly see the humanity lacking from todays movies.

Its just hype. Current models cant lead to AGI, but its a stepping stone. I for one is happy as long as we dont have it, because it will lead to dystopia very quick.

If you are logged in to anything, what you do is tied to your account. Welcome to the internet. Instance admin on your instance can figure out your ip. Nobody else. You can run your own instance to avoid this if you want. Or just use a vpn.

Google track you constantly even when you are not logged in by the way, with scripts on almost every web page. So they have your real name, your entire search history, and what exact programs you use on your phone if you have android.

People are afraid of a state they cant even feel or be concious about. The actual dying may not be fun though but being dead is the easiest thing you can be.

Not that i recommend it… I like life still. Its beauty out there once you leave your matrix office.

Yes but capitalism = profits is all that matters.

Also since big tech has more money than almost anything, they become illegal unofficial kings in a world where money is all that matters. They influence entire elections and what information is able to be shared.

I would never go to see a movie with such a person. Wtf.

And she is 40…she sounds like a teenager.

The thing is, its not going to fall apart forever (unfortunately). Billions are invested by all big tech companies into enormous server farms just for AI and their entire future stock value is now based on them coming up with a way to make a profit from this.

Replacing humans can lead to a lot of profit since salaries are one of the most expensive things in a company.

So I dont know. I think the future will suck. But what else is new.

Yeah I agree. We have to wake up a bit. Real change happens outside of this place.

We arent smarter. Actually most people here have no voice or influence outside of their computer screen.

We can use some tech, sure. But I very much challenge the idea that we are smarter as a group than other university students.

But since a lot of us have poor social skills, we compensate by thinking we are smarter or better, when we should instead train our social skills and stop thinking like that.

Edit: You meant they dont work to access things outside of China of course.

You cant ban vpns, its easy for tech people to set up a vpn server on any server on the internet and connect to it. Wireguard for example, super simple.

Yeah there are some differences. Flatpaks are not updated when you update your system but you can run the “flatpak update” command to update all your Flatpak apps at once.

After install, it should just work. :)

That can happen if you have an old version. Happened to me a few times also. It just means YouTube changed something so you need to update and see if its been fixed.

Go to freetubeapp.io and make sure you have installed the latest version which is 0.23.5 beta right now.

Yeah that would be the logical end game since companies have invested billions into this trend now.

When will we ever get rid of the .95 or.99 in every price… I guess never.

Im amazed it somehow works and the consumer buys more when using this system.
