There is nothing inherently wrong about food pictures but I feel like it is a symptom of the focus shifting from trying to take quality pictures to showing off a nice dinner/vacation/car you had to your “friend” group.

There is a thin line between look at this cool thing and look at how much better my life is then yours. I kinda have a distaste for the second one. (That said I take food pictures all the time but mostly of stuff I made myself, though I don’t post it to social media)

I remember Instagram when it was new. It was an actually photography app. Of course it had the edgy filters (which ~15 year old me made full use of). But the pictures people posted actually had a bit of effort behind them.

Then it started becoming another mainstream social media where most pictures were about people’s lunches. I didn’t stick around for it’s final phase of business ads and thots.

I think it lost the cool factor by the time FB bought it but maybe it would’ve taken longer to become as ad-infested as it is today

Does this include Candy Crush an mobile gaming in general? I’d say that people who play something on their phone every now and then won’t be foaming from their mouths because of something like this. Then again, they don’t buy the games that we’re talking about here so that’s why I’m asking (I checked your link but couldn’t find this info)

It’s really annoying. I was looking for a smart wearable with blood oxygen monitoring, and couldn’t find much useful info on reddit/Google so I asked bing chat. Instead of giving a useful answer it was parroting some bullshit about these gadgets not being medical devices. I know… if I wanted a medical device that’s what I would look for.

It’s always been the case where you can research information that is plain wrong or even intentionally misleading. You have to take a measured perception and decide whether the source is to be believed.

And I shouldn’t have to justify every query I make to the bloody computer. It’s not the AI’s job to give me a lecture about skewed ethics every time I have a technical question. We’re heading to a world where children will be raised by these answers and I think the constant caveats and safety nets do much more harm than help. Learning to be critical is much more important than learning to follow the forced ethics set by some corporate guidelines.

(got the Ticwatch 5 pro btw - no thanks to bing. It works amazing, wakes me up with sleep as android when I forget to put on my cpap mask)

Not exactly sure what the server limits are but something like Valheim could work for a large group of people. It’s an open world sandbox so people can divide up and do whatever they want to on the same server (exploring, fighting, mining, building, farming, etc.) Not sure how far you can get in the game in 3 hours though…

Alternatively you could play some sort of team based shooter but there might be a stark skill difference in a competitive setting.

Apparently the star wars bf classic collection has a 32 player co-op mode vs ai which sounds amazing to me, but I’ve never tried it before

How can the picture be real of your eyes aren’t real?

Or 3

Along what others have mentioned, we still have the ‘Old lady sitting in front of the toilet building’. It’s less common these days but there are still some of these around in eastern Europe. She keeps the facilities clean(er) and takes money from entrants. They usually have a little stand or something.

I know it’s basically a physical impossibility but here hoping to another 89% in the next 10 years (compared to today)

Share button can export any photo. For photos only in the cloud there is a download button to sync to your device at the top when you open the picture.

I actually liked the looks 4 years ago when they announced it but by now I’ve kinda gotten bored of it. The design has aged even before the vehicle is out.

I’m not very familiar with NextCloud but you can use something like duckDns to direct traffic to your ip for free. Still an actual domain is a bit nicer if you want to share the URL.

The search results are good but the limited searches make me anxious for running out. If it grows enough to the point where they can sustain themselves by offering the unlimited tier for $3-5 I might switch but not with the current pricing.

I ment to say I don’t get why anyone would pay for that.

Artist are trying to get paid for people listening on Spotify, not the other way around.

I guess It’s like advertising your product on amazon so people buy from you not others, but somehow it feels stupid when you think about it in the context of a music streaming service.

I never understand this. Is someone paying for spotify to push their music on people?

Is this like the new mlm scheme where artists have to pay spotify first so the algorithm prioritizes their songs so they can earn that same money back?

I’m a bit of a noob so I ended up going with Ubuntu after trying a few other distros. I’m sure I could have fixed the issues I was having but it was easier to troubleshoot and find solutions online due to the larger install base.

Also more things were just working out of the box

Next up: allow side loading!

I might actually consider getting an iPhone.

(it’s crazy you still cannot get a version of Firefox with both adblock and bookmarks sync on ios)

Brave has been great. There have been barely any times where I had to switch to Google because I didn’t find something, whereas this happened with DDG quite regularly. DDG has one upside with the bang operators making searching something very easy via other search engines

Weirdly, I’m more or less okay with this. Hope someone gets my ballin’ Teriyaki sauce recipe

Kidding aside usually this type of thing bothers me, for example I’m actively trying to find alternatives to Google services. But I feel like I’m not giving up that much information here.

I just want a notes app that is intuitive and pleasant to use, and I really like notion’s UI

Actually you are right, this is really annoying. Its also quite a “heavy” app, takes quite a while to start up, and I have to re-login constantly.
