Reading blogs on bearblog.dev is an amazing experience. No algorithms, no discourse, no AI slop (I mean, hopefully 😬) and a majorly decreased amount of depressing world news.

I cannot explain the amount of rage I experience when a website makes my scrollwheel do anything other than simply scrolling down, i.e. scrolling sideways or needlessly trying to do cool animations that just end up looking like shit

…one step at a time, dude. This kind of thinking just serves to make perfect the enemy of good.

Preaching to the choir

I think this presentation needs to be seen by everyone.

Customized firefox, zen browser, helium, and mullvad all with some kind of assortment of privacy extentions.

On Android, we got ironfox and cromite. most of the same privacy extentions are applicable.

If you want to use the tor network, go use the tor browser.

Frankly, I do not care that much that Mozilla makes most of its money from Google. I can change the search engine as the first thing I do and this fact simply stops affecting my experience negatively, especially on Firefox derivates.

Fuck polymarket, and fuck all betting really.

Oh oh, but this time its different, this time they are going to make ChatGPT do the work of the peasants!

ChatGPT, please keep all of society going.

Not while we still allow them to be alive.

When you use Lemmy, the platform itself is your subset of a culture.

Great way to put it!

This shit still exists on windows and I fucking hate it

Meine schwester ist nett!

The world is a dumpster fire.

It feels very hard to believe that anything will change. The elite has won.

Assuming you meant can’t.

A calculator doesn’t remove your need to know what you need to solve a problem, and critically think to achieve that solution. It only accelerates the execution after all of the thinking has been done by the user. I cant solve a problem I dont know the formulas for even with a calculator.

AI is not the same. AI removes all thinking and “need to know” from the process.

YES! People treat writing like its just a materialisation of the “product”, like its just an irrelevant factor out of the main equation. But writing shit is such a big part of creating the “product”!

Not gonna happen. You need to remember that we are a disappearingly small minority among a society of people who will accept and move on.

Not gonna happen. Big tech will gladly fill the gaps.

Yes! Go get it. Exactly what needs to happen.

Hoping for the day one of the elites pushes a button, launches a nuclear, WW3 entails, and we all fucking perish. Its clear the world’s gonna end, might as well save all the trouble and end it now!!!
