  • and if they ever do something supremely stupid it's easy to move away.

    We don’t need to move, this super flammable building hasn’t gone up in flames yet…

    It’s Microsoft we’re talking about. Are you sure they don’t fuck it up?

    Better to move away now, on our own terms. That’s my opinion.

  • While he concentrates a bit too much on emojis, he brings up valid points.

  • I was so sure that it was The Onion just by reading the headline. Well… fuck.

  • What exactly is a realistic option for most people?

    Nobody said it’s easy. It might be easier now than at a later point.

    Macro level

    So you’re saying better be quick and be among the first?

  • I‘m mentally fine, but I’m worried - every single day. They only thing you can do is not to let it eat you whole.

    Sport and touching grass is good start, but it’s not enough. Are you an American? Start planning how to get out of there. It will be getting worse, much worse. You can also think of stuff were you can do something to contribute helping others.

    Curate your online presence. Get news from a mix of reputable news sources. Try to use your phone less. Do some journaling to sort your thoughts.

    Personally I go more and more analogue recently. I write with a fountain pen in an old fashioned Leuchtturm journal. I bought an old canon camera und take pictures on film. I even bought a typewriter on a flea market for 5 bucks, but I haven’t used it yet.

    The only reason I’m on Lemmy is I want to support a reddit alternative and I want to stay in touch with recent developments. And of course because of memes.

  • Duly noted.

  • Thanks!

  • Where is this pic from?

  • Was listening to some computer podcast a while ago and the co-host and ex- hacker was saying that more and more VPNs are getting targeted and it’s just a matter of time we see quite a bit of them owned. (I think he was talking about implementation of VPNs for remote workers, rather than actual VPN providers. Sorry, it was some time ago)

    Anyway, the host asked „What about wireguard?“

    And the co-host: „Oh yeah, wireguard is solid! But all the services building up on wireguard? … They’ll get popped.“

    Doesn’t have to be true, but something to keep in mind.

  • Not german. Maybe swedish?

  • I think it’s funny.

  • I smell a divorce.

  • Patrick Dickinson. Some old bloke from UK goes on Hikes and does wildcamps overnight.

  • I normally don’t have a problem arguing coherently online. Talking however is a big issue sometimes.

    It might help if you practise writing with a pen on paper. No backspace key, you have to think about what you write more thoroughly. That slows you down and helps over time to gather your thoughts. And if it turns out that you’ve written garbage, just turn to a blank page and start again.

  • That’s wild! And… good???

    Why haven’t I heard of this before??? I feel like I should give back my Internet Veteran certificate!

  • Well, there’s the German language barrier and it’s now 20 years old. Sigh, feels like it just came out yesterday.

  • LOL, that’s dope! The fact the the AI had to be actually convinced into helping him, speaks in my opinion for it, not against it.

    The author seems to disapprove and has obviously no understanding whatsoever for shenanigans like that. Teenagers do reckless and dangerous things, news at eleven. He is also claiming the student used purely AI for his project, while saying later that the young man used other information sources and talked to people who are more experienced online. That’s how he convinced the AI in the first place, by feeding his conversations into it.

    Fun project, a bit dangerous maybe. Author of this article comes off as an Idiot, in my opinion.

    Edit: Author changes his tone about halfway into the article and is now convinced about the upcoming devices with integrated AI? Doesn’t change my opinion of him, lol.

    Edit 2: There seems to be a video. I’d didn’t watch it.

  • That’s why you join an instance that defederated from the porn in the first place.

    Just make an alt account on a nsfw server and you‘re golden.
