I can easily get nothing done without having adhd. Its a blessing.

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.

No, all your suggestions will just accomplish nothing except get people who follow them into huge problem with zero gains.

Not paying taxes, being violent, how is that a plan? Thats why the downvotes I think. You are just being angry and wanting change, but you also dont have a plan that will do anything. Just like everyone.

No change to Trump will come from that. Blocking roads or dumping manure? That may work in France because French police still are humans. But in America you may get shot doing that and called a terrorist afterwards.

Yeah its so strange to watch people treat Trump as a good guy. What the hell is going on. I can only assume Americans are overworked and overstressed and cant think anymore. I probably would be too in that country.

Trump will always do what is in his own best interest, money or power wise. He gives zero fucks about anyone else.

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.

Work is just trading your life energy for money because you are forced to. This was fine when it felt like that work paid off. Now, it feels like avoiding work is what actually pays off.

Americans are nuts putting so much value on working for some corp. Some of us may feel thats our purpose here, but how many feels like its pointless and it makes us sad and tired every day.

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

They always care about us when they are losing money arent they…

Maybe, but then who will supply the answers that Ai needs?

Would love to but a lot of them have shut down now since people didnt buy them.

The larger problem that is not discussed so much is the amount of Ai generated garbage that is put on the web now.

When these Ai web crawlers start to read that Ai garbage as source data, the models will start to become worse and worse, and as a result, our Ai clients will start to get worse and worse.

I dont think there is a way for the crawlers to understand what is Ai generated fluff and crap. The reasons the Ai responses are so good now is because people actually posted these solutions on the web. What happens when Ai crap overflows the web so much that good answers are drowned out?

Also, no ads in chat gpt yet. Thats going to change and it will become impossible to block those.
