Do a sleep study when it’s possible, OP. If it’s sleep apnea, a proper CPAP therapy can definitely help.

Why not start today, man? It’s good to practice.

It’s like governments representing succeeding states of long dead countries that were in a war centuries or millennia ago coming together to shake hands and take pictures.

His crypto scheme was already raising eyebrows. When OpenAI board attempted a coup and he clawed back to his seat, it seemed like he had gained complete control over the place.

Perhaps the Silent Hill were the friends we made along the way.

Opening the command prompt in windows is considered ‘hacking’ these days. Using Ubuntu is a big leap.

It will major corporate and legislative backing to even attempt one. For many end users the desktop pc, if they ever have one, is yet another techie stuff they don’t want to bother themselves with. You don’t simply get them to install a new program, let alone an entirely new operating system. Some do make the leap, however.

My bad. Sorry.

3rd party modifications to windows iso that basically amounts to trusting an internet stranger.

It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.

Social pressure is a real thing. I wonder just how many people in the US have iphones because of that dumb blue-green bubble stuff.

It’s both a generational shift and education issue.

I grew up remembering the early days of going online. The only pc at home was shared by family, so I knew early on that covering my tracks (erasing browser history) was important. When Chrome came out and incognito mode became a thing, I instinctively knew that it was just a shortcut for a separate browser profile that does not share the main profiles cookies and history, that it didn’t store activities on the local device. I knew that internet providers could still know what I acceded, and so on.

I can’t ask for the same kind of awareness for people that grew up with smartphones, proprietary walled gardens and apps with most of the complexities hidden beneath pretty UI.

It’s even worse when it comes to the general population - this isn’t the 90s where college students and tech minded people made up the internet users, this isn’t the early 2000s where people still had to use a desktop PC to access the web, with its components more or less open to tinker.

I’m sure corporations like this would give you free Internet if they could collect and sell all your data.

Already a thing. I see them advertised everywhere for prepaid plans and people go ‘omg Facebook/Whatsapp/Instagram/TikTok for free!!1!’.

Out of the loop for this one. Is Affinity a software for graphics editing, which was regarded as an alternative to Adobe, but it now acquired by a big corp?

There’s no easy solution. Some are evicted from their homes with crushing debt, some have safety nets to depend on, some want to end their homeless situation as soon as possible, some, however, are content with eating discarded food and begging for cash to buy alcohol. Not everyone is a hopeless drug addict or a temporarily inconvenienced millionaires, and this is not even mixing charity into the problem.

My guess is whoever thought on implementing AI into this probably consider this a problem that can be made easy by offloading all our human problems into a black box. It isn’t going to be that way.

Got in just after Dapper, those days fooling around with compiz were the best. Went distrohopping when Unity happened.

Linkedin is a cesspool and nothing but a dumpster fire. I wish I wasn’t pressured to joining it for job searches.

Whatever your thoughts on cryptocurrency might be, this is borderline gambling addiction.

There’s a conlang introducing phonemic hats, so why the hell not?

This is why I dread working with anything ‘too consumer friendly’.

Wasn’t it a few years ago that scientists working on human genes renamed something because excel was chaging it every time?
