Net losses im afraid. That said the recent anti flock movement is promising

Yep. This is why politically advocating for privacy by default is so important, albeit its not going well lmao.

Sorry I don’t know anything. Will let you know when I learn something

Reminds me i needed to do laundry 2 days ago

I HATE SUBSCRIPTION SOFTWARE. I HATE SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR BASIC THINGS LIKE WORD PROCESSORS. I HATE NEEDING SUBSCRIPTIONS TO ROTATE A PDF.

But yeah not a fan of adobe either

I’ll be honest, didnt know they were now owned by Saudiaa Arabia lmao.

Anyway, EA was shit anyway

Ive successfuly eliminated AI/chat bots completely out of my personal life. It was far far too much work. Well not that much, but if someone is tech illiterate its gonna be hard. Which unfortuntely is large swaths of the population.

Got a new email address with a provider that doesnt use AI, and also got the thunderbird client. Also changing the default search engine to no ai duckduckgo. Finally, going to linux so I dont have microsoft banging on about copilot. Well tbh i didnt go because of AI, its just that I liked the look of it and had heard that windows 11 was terrible.

Might be doing a masters next year and god I hope that isnt a problem. Im sure it will be, but one can hope

Only have messenger left. Considering doing another push to convince my stubborn friends to go on signal. Then I can finally be rid of meta

In my town, some lefty but also quite a few one nation farmer voters (one nation being australias trumpist party)

Generally surounded by socially liberal / left wing.

I do like external validation although I welcome being challenged aswell. I do also like discussion and empathising with people.

That is to say I am a social creature that evolved to be social, and although lemmy isnt socialising its pretty close (at least to my creature brain).

I honestly just dont see it. It does have the tendency to concentrate power to the wealthy top (just like factories do) which is fashy but that isnt an inherent property of LLMs. I read your other comment and I just dont get it.

Honestly didnt know that. I do need to keep ontop of these things but as you said mainstream media dont say much on it

I very very rarely get anxiety attacks its just a low level continous anxiety

1B piss drinkers after water companies flood water supply with piss

Honestly I believe they dont think how it could be used against them. There’s also a tendency to compromise too much and be defensive which ofc just accelerates the decline
