Well i’m very happy for you and for them, but my 76 year old Polish grandmother - who got her first mobile phone at the age of 60ish, probably doesn’t even know what image quality is, definitely doesn’t know the difference between android and iOS, and has recently called me panicked to ask why all her photos were on Facebook, they weren’t, she was looking at her gallery preview through the Facebook app - is not going to be very enthusiastic about learning to use an app only her grandson uses.
so I’ll just stick to messenger
if someone is like, half of the described vampire i don’t mind. Honestly it feels strange to have our ancient way of finding things out (asking your friends if they know) be somehow seen as wrong nowadays. I want to learn from other human being, not disembodied pieces of information oftentimes tied to ads for driver updating software
call me a normie but I do like having contact with my family. And though I’d love to move somewhere where my privacy is respected - there’s no point in using a messaging app if you’re the only one there
and no I can’t convince my 76 year old grandma to move to signal, she barely wrapped her head around Facebook
“Molly” is a common nickname of the drug Ecstasy (MDMA)
“time for molly” kind of implies you’re off to get high
fear is a light word to describe it tbh, i’d opt more for “irrational mental anguish over the slightest implication someone might think even slightly less of you, which is strong enough some can feel physical discomfort when it triggers, and leads directly to an impossible to fulfil instinct of constant people pleasing and having difficulty saying no to anything”
I like the vast majority of my technology dumb, the last barely smart kettle I bought - it had a little screen that showed you temperature and allowed you to keep the water at a particular temperature for 3h - broke within a month. Now I once again have a dumb kettle, it only has the on/off button and has been working perfectly since I got it
pretty sure mobile darkmode for wikipedia has been avaliable for a while now
by the end game I was running around with two druids, Gale and a Karlach. It was enough to create an army
x3 fire elemental lv 6
x2 woodland being lv 5
x6 ice elemental lv 4
spamming through “end turn” because moving them all will take longer than finishing the fight next turn was very annoying
though it did feel good to have a whole army at my command, the encounters took forever
it did not take me long to figure out that maybe spyware that takes screenshots of what you’re doing is a bad idea
they needed researchers to tell them that?
“sponsored” results which I count as ads
it works half the time?
If I google something in English I’m going to get results in English (plus localised ads of course). But if I have a linguistic question about English, no matter how advanced, I’m going to get surface level results in Polish.
Tbf whatever info they have on me imples they’re very confused. I get ads about: “stay legally in Poland! :)” and “leave Poland and get a job in the Netherlands/Germany! :)” then “polish lessons!” and “English lessons!”, I’m starting to think that in the eyes of the AI overlords I’m both polish and not polish at the same time.
i’m perfectly happy with my pre-built machines. I like tech and love learning about it but- I don’t really find value in putting a huge amount of time into building my PC from scratch when someone else can do it, and that person knows way more than me already!
and also doesn’t care that findom is a common limit for many subs
i only bothered to read the last bit so - stealing from the artists? Ha! that’s words of someone who doesn’t know how the film/TV show industry works. All artists (spare for maybe the actors, depending on their contract) already got paid, maybe they got a bonus for the popularity of the show, but they don’t own the rights to the show and therefore receive fuck all after that.
morality comes second to survival
best animals
how is it fear mongering when shit like this is happening? AI as it stands is unregulated and will continue to cause issues if left this way
