  • Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model

    Jump

  • I really non ironically miss the friction of the old internet.

    I prefer how it took time to find some bare HTML university website, slowly browse through an index as if it was a book, and then find one non-SEO optimized page with all the information you needed on a topic for your research.

    The time to browse, being exposed to other terms, having to select the pages yourself, being skeptical by nature, and then having to copy it by hand... This is a much more positive scenario than having a gigantic company learn everything about you and everybody else and then make these decisions for you, using some hidden algorithm, and with the ultimate goal of pushing their newest process. And of course, the content has been rendered virtually useless to appeal to that algorithm.

  • We have several scientific articles being published and later found to have been generated via AI.

    If somebody is willing to ruin their academic reputation, something that takes years to build, don't you think people are also using AI to cheat at a job interview and land a high paying IT job?

  • with Democrats on the left

    Do keep in mind the most left leaning democrat you can think of would be a center-right candidate in my country. It's unfortunate that indeed you can only work with what you got, but don't be surprised when others cringe at the thought of calling your democratic party leftist.

  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

    Jump

  • Let me hijack your comment mentioning Krita with another KDE app: Okular!

    I simply can't believe a PDF app can be this performant, this fully featured, and entirely free. It even works on Windows, if you're trapped in that nightmare.

    Adobe Acrobat Reader, from the people who created the PDF format, is unbelievably slow, it takes a thousand steps through an ugly UI to do anything useful, and any feature you actually care about is locked behind payment. Okular, a free tool, will load PDFs instantly, render previews flawlessly, let you edit, sign, merge, add text, select text, whatever you wish.

    And KDE creates this app and a thousand others for less money than Mozilla wasted on some random bs last year. Long live KDE.

  • I'm incredibly grateful to my colleagues and IT department at work for allowing me to use zero Microsoft products.

    I don't use Windows, Office, Teams, Outlook, Bing or anything made by Microsoft at all, both in my personal life as well as work.

    Life is great!

  • Coffee aches

    Jump

  • They're correct, but also exaggerating it. If you ask somebody to brew you a cup using a french press, and using the same ground coffee, a batch of a pour over, you'll notice some oils floating on the french press cup and not the pour over. So indeed, the paper filter will remove lipids from the brew. But are those in a quantity that could "raise cholesterol in some people"? Absolutely not, you'd have to be chugging coffee like a monster and even then, the tablespoon of butter you use in your toast is a much bigger concern.

  • Coffee aches

    Jump

  • I love coffee, a lot. I love the smell, the taste, the ritual of making it. Once you're drinking it a lot, it's also very hard to cut back because if you do you get those massive headaches and you feel like your brain is foggy.

    But suddenly I was feeling angry, irritable, had trouble sleeping and was not following along the material from my master's research that I used to have no problem reading. So I forced myself to quit caffeine. Ooooooh boy. Turns out drinking a lot of coffee really does mess you up. The first couple of days were terrible, but by the fourth day I was waking up singing with the birds as if I was a Disney princess.

    Now I still drink coffee, but only when I wake up and only one cup. No more than that.
