I believe this will pass. Sooner or later, the AI companies will have to stop losing money and adjust their pricing. And then it’ll turn out that using AI for everything gets you worse results than humans, at the same cost. And that will be that. I hope I can hang on until then.
such hope, i wish i had
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 2 weeks ago:
But isn’t this what people are trying to avoid when it comes to digital privacy? User data being used in less algorithms?
Yes. Invidious and other programs, websites and anything else are useful for these kind of things. When you go to another house and in another computer you want to see some video but not affect the watch history of the user that uses the computer mainly. Or just simply watching some video that you wouldn’t normally watch.
But most people who use YouTube actively on their main computer binge-watch. Sometimes they follow creators, sometimes they follow what the algorithm recommends them for the day. Invidious does not have such algorithm, since its a proxy. So, it is really not for everyone.

You see how often growing youtubers complain about more than 85% of their viewers are not subscribed to the channel, or how just some videos have more views than their main content? The issue is that Invidious doesn’t have the algorithm Youtube provides to everyone, and that not a lot of people really watch their subscribed page.
- Comment on WhatsApp is dropping its native Windows app in favor of an uglier web version 5 weeks ago:
What’s so funny is that they were going to allow encrypted (they say) calls on the web app but then suddenly released a native windows client and told everyone if you wanted calls you need to use it, then removed all buttons for calls or video calls.
I guess they’re coming back on that.

Naddy has long lived alone from what her story tells. Aside from what someone did to try and get her back in the household, she must have been having these thoughts every now and then.
Have you ever thought your decisions have affected someone negatively even though it was necessary to take them for your own sanity?

That reminds me of an idea i had for a oneshot … i barely remember it, sadly. I don’t draw much, so I guess it never stuck on me. I only remember nuclear war or something related to war.

For me, the reason why Delta Chat hadn’t caught up on me is stickers. There’s a sticker picker on desktop, but not on mobile, and its behind more settings. Weird that it doesnt do it like WhatsApp where stickers are added to personal collections (favorites) that only sync between accounts and can be added manually; it’s not necessary to make it like Telegram or Signal where you can add a collection from a repository.
For chatting it is really enough. Like email.

I only use SearXNG because it loads faster than DDG for me. It parses very very fast on my low end pc, and thats what I wish.
