Well, it can’t clean toilets or build roads, so you can still do that for your elite billionaire overlords, and they may give you a prison cell to exist in!

Yep, and who owns the models? Billionaires. What are billionaires always? Conservatives. It isn’t hard to connect the dots on why this path is not a good one.

Its HIGHLY addictive, especially to idiots. They feel smart using it. Which is so ironic I can’t stand it.

You have a good point. But it’s there in your post; “feeling” connected. But for many people, they actually aren’t. They feel connected because of notifications and little dings that give them dopamine, much like a rat in a test lab hitting buttons for treats. Thats why I am surprised no one sees this.

Exactly. Keep the poors in their dumb little walled garden social media so they don’t ever learn everything. The average person now is terrified of the Internet if it isn’t Google or meta. Ironically, the things they trust are the most evil of all by far.

Im one of the few on here that actually has a life outside of just my phone and computer, sorry guys. Those things are great but many are far too dependent and addicted to a fleeting thing.

Well Jimmy, people used to be humans and converse in person hard to believe I know.

I feel the same ! Like are we this brainwashed ?? Plus theyre not even reading articles or anything to improve themselves, it’s endless TikTok scrolling. Also, im not old, and I can still see it. So it’s not really an old person thing. More of a “have we literally become idiots addicted to a shiny screen” type thing.

We can’t all be Jack White. I’ve tried. You cannot live in this society with no phone. Unless you have no friends and no job.

I agree… I feel this way often especially now when an ai can write, make music and movies, and no one can actually tell the difference, there isn’t much point to creating anymore. Unless it’s solely for you and you don’t want to show it to anyone else.

Am i the only one who wishes this was common? Put your stupid phones away. How have we not matured enough to not be so addicted to little flashy lights.

Honestly I always have felt this way. No one asked to be born, and we would all be better off with fewer people (once the olds are gone).

There’s really nothing good about ai if you really look into it. MAYBE medical advances, and thats it.

Just gotta read 11 22 63 to see that

Odd how this affects laptops. My desktop works perfectly with suspend, far better than It ever did with windows.

Agree!

Yes thats true. However I always do say at least back then people had to learn and put time into music (even what we consider bad). There is a lot of great music now but the majority of the population wont hear it ever because they are brainwashed by Ai pop music. At least in ye olden day, good music that took talent was promoted (Boston, for example). The good news is now we have access to the old and the new music !

That is awesome. A little beyond me but I’ve played in docker a bit. Is a VPN needed to keep your ip from being exposed ?

Is just using an existing searxng instance just less secure then?

Live with autotune.

Can’t describe how much I hate people covering and ruining amazing original songs. Should not be allowed.

Its gratingly bad. But people today do not understand good music anymore.
