    Lol, I was also looking at installing it last weekend.

    I guess this thing is on the same connection as my stock choices.

    You need a human to see what is actually interesting and what will be interesting to most people.

    I've seen communities where hundreds of posts are scrolling by, nobody cares. Because it's not interesting.

  • Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens
  • 1984 1984 10h ago 100%

    I guess this is an attempt to discredit them.

    After working at many, many companies, security is usually very bad. This is typical. Not changing access tokens is also very common.

    This should be illegal. That functionality has nothing to do with accepting ads.

    This is really upsetting to see them get away with this.

    Why would I wrote a blog under these guys domain name? Remember medium, and how they locked every blog under a forced sign-in, so the content is no longer freely available on the web?

    This seems like the same idea.

    This is just my opinion but you should leave it unchallenged. When was the last time you changed someone's mind because you posted a reply to it?

    I think we are just not being trained for situations like this in the west. People are talking about mass murder really triggers us. But you know, it's designed to do that. More anger, more posts, more attention, and on big tech platforms, more money because more ads and traffic.

    Just look at the person writing these things. Are they worth even responding to? Who cares what they think?

    Their TV does but I'm not sure how it works with monitors. Maybe it's just hardcoded ads in their software. I don't see how the monitor can have a network connection..

    Alien Romulus

    I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company? Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face. I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic. Just disappointed. How about you guys?

    This is not revolutionary but it saves some keystrokes when wanting to limit results to certain sites. Personally I don't really limit anything with Kagi. It's usually just finding what I want without having to do anything.

    The bike knows my height and weight and that's about it. From that it can calculate how my body burns calories? Every body is very different, so I don't see how any calculation can be accurate.

    If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't. I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

    This article describes the real reason behind the push back to the office. It's about rich people gambling on real estate and now office buildings are empty. These same people own newspapers and media channels which is why their crying voices are being pushed.

    My favorite quote: > While employees in the office might kill time messaging friends or flipping through TikTok, remote workers take advantage of being far from the watchful gaze of bosses to chip away at personal to-do lists or to goof off. > Nearly half of remote workers multitask on work calls or complete household chores like unloading the dishwasher or doing a load of laundry, according to the SurveyMonkey poll of 3,117 full-time workers in the U.S. Oh noes, people actually doing things that are useful for their families instead of even more computer time. It's insane that this is even considered strange or surprising. When I work from home, I take longer lunch breaks and I often stop working earlier, but I'm still three times as productive compared to sitting in an office. At home, I actually get focused time to do something and think. At the office, this is extreamly difficult with all the distractions and noise constantly interrupting my train of thought.

    Some quotes from the article: > There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program. > We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane. > Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors. These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.

    I tried this last night and I actually really like it. The default theme seems to have changed also and looks much cleaner. And you can have AI models open in the sidebar. Not only chatgpt but also other open source and free models like huggingface. I thought that was very cool. I don't know if the general public have even tried any other model than chatgpt. It's fun to play around with others.
