How do I do that on my android tv?

There are billions of free users available. All they need to do is strip-off few excellent features of their free model and hide it behind a pay wall annnnd voila these free users have now became their paying customers!

The companies that enshittify their service never actually care about their premium service. They provide a service which is good enough for free users and a pro version for power users. Later once they amass a critical userbase, they slowly make their free service shitty and ask users to pay to get their good-enough service back. Free users were their focus all along and these premium users are there just to pay some of their costs.

This is a case of corporation taking advantage of technically idiotic userbase, which is most of the general public. OpenAI using a dark pattern so that users can’t easily unchecked that box nor making that text that says “this can be indexed by search engines” brightly visible.

The amount of people around me who are actively depending on their AI chatbots, trusting them so much so that they treat it like their personal companion, enjoying AI generated content on these short-form content platforms, putting up their AI ghibili profile pics on their social media, is very concerning. It’s sad state we have reached and it will go worse from here on.

Do you think this therapist is trying to market therapy and increase his business? I also think the same 🤨

Same here. I wanted to include it too but it is not as quite bad as the other two(at least I hope so because I can’t avoid it). But yeah you never know with these Meta apps.

Young people have Instagram spyware on their phones and old people have Facebook spyware.

Btw Adguard collects your data. Check their privacy policy. The moment I knew this, I moved to mullvad DNS but nowadays it is not stable. (I use private DNS for system-wide adblocking)

Damn your schedule and mine are almost same.

Damn it we need Private-R1 now

I used to use perplexity until that news came in about it being a front runner to help companies replace workers who went on a strike demanding better work conditions. (Or something along those lines, I only remember the details sparingly)

I have used Duck AI and Brave AI to replace it.

AI service by Duckduckgo which offers anonymous access to popular AI models like Chatgpt, Claude, Mixtral, Llama.

How is Duck AI then when it comes to privacy? I use it a lot.

Gemini is really far behind. For me it’s Chatgpt > Llama >> Gemini. I haven’t tried Claude since they require mobile number to use it.

It’s still not up yet. Wonder what happened.

Why can’t they be a website than an app for Dekstop?

Also understood that they’re not open-source but are they privacy-respecting?

Edit: Went through their privacy policy and seems they’re privacy-focused. I will be trying their app now.

Be sure to know how you best can get your social battery full again

Yep that’s a thing I am trying to figure out too. As of now, I think my social energy levels are coinciding with my body energy levels, that is, right after I eat my breakfast or lunch.

But in the context of a workplace – make sure it’s aligned.

Oh if it’s work related, I’d be more than happy to talk.

In my post I am talking about the interactions we are forced to have during the breaks. And people don’t like you talking about work during break too. At times, wish I could disappear during breaks. This is why wfh is so much better.

I would never pay to a service that is privacy intrusive.
