- Comment on France's antitrust regulator fines Apple €150M after a lengthy investigation into how iOS asks to collect user data under App Tracking Transparency (“ATT”) and the impact on advertisers. 3 weeks ago:
The ATT framework was seen as an obstacle to targeted advertising to Apple device users, a major source of funding for application publishers and other online advertising players.
Um. Ok.

- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 3 weeks ago:
I’m not blindly dissing RCs or AI, but his use of it (as the post was about people with problematic uses of this tech I just gave an example). He can’t handle RCs historically, he slowly loses it and starts to use daily. We don’t live in the same country anymore and were never super close so I can’t say exactly what his circumstances are right now.
I think many psychadelics at the right time in life and the right person can produce lifelasting insight, even through problematic use. But he literally went to rehab because he had problems due to his use. He isn’t dealing with something, that’s for sure. He doesn’t admit it is a problem either which bugs me. It is one thing to give up and decide to just go wild, another to do it while pretending one is in control…
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. I tried talking to him about his AI use but I realized there was no point. I know from experience you can’t convince addicts they are addicted to anything. People need to realize that themselves.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 4 weeks ago:
I knew a guy I went to rehab with. Talked to him a while back and he invited me to his discord server. It was him, and like three self trained LLMs and a bunch of inactive people who he had invited like me. He would hold conversations with the LLMs like they had anything interesting or human to say, which they didn’t. Honestly a very disgusting image, I left because I figured he was on the shit again and had lost it and didn’t want to get dragged into anything.
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 4 weeks ago:
Social media as a concept is not evil or whatever, but a platform with millions and millions of users under corporate control puts a lot of power and influence in the hands of a very small elite. This is the problem. Not the technology itself. With regulation or decentralisation the problem can be fixed. Imo.

- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 4 weeks ago:
So my biggest tip, if you want to start out exercising make sure you have a clear goal. For me the goal is to feel good in my limbs and body, so I don’t have pains and aches and have more energy. For others it is looks or muscles or mental health or whatever.
If you know why you are doing something it is a lot easier to do. I think focus often ends up on the visible aspects like looking better or losing a little weigth but these goals will take a lot more commitment than just feeling good by exercising, so make sure you know what the goal is and that you are realistic about it.
For doing at home, you could start with easy yoga and some weights and a RUBBER BAND. Rubber bands are fucking awesome for at home exercise. Put it under your foot, around a doorknob… Whatever. Short jogs are underrated. Five minutes around the block is a good warmup.
Jog five minutes, do a yoga set 20-30 minutes (find on youtube for example, eventually design your own), then rubber band exercises for ten or so and done. That is a good exercise you can do at home in many different ways.

That’s true, there is some really cool stuff that isbrarely mentioned.
- Comment on What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion? 4 weeks ago:
Zoroastrianism would be cool. Basically the answer is anything not europe or specifically egypt but I always felt that for example a hindu god killer game would be fkn sick. Like either GoW format or Diablo-like.
- Comment on Why are autistic people so odd?? 5 weeks ago:
Maybe you are odd to us! I think many neurotypicals are odd, but not because they are neurotypical specifically.
People are different and it is generally a bad idea to assume it is because of some diagnostic they got or not.
I think the more you get to know most people they seem stranger and stranger, especially as you grow up and start to understand the reasons people value what they value and just how different everyone is.

My 4GBs agree. I literally cannot use discord. It takes ridiculous amounts of resource because you are meant to goddamn live in it, not just chat.
- Comment on Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. 2 months ago:
I think you are missing the point of using an e-ink device… I don’t think anyone would use one because of “how powerful” it is.
I don’t want to read for hours on end on my phone or computer. With this, I can turn backlight off and use a lamp, like a normal book. Better for my eyes and relaxing.
Also, having dedicated devices for certain activities will change how you interact with them when using them. If I read a book on my computer I am tempted to look things up, get some work done or play a game. This is just for leisurely reading, and so when I pick it up that is what I do with it.
If you read a lot (books, not documentation which requires looking things up) then it really is a lot better for your eyes and a better experience to use e-ink.
- Comment on Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. 2 months ago:
Been using an Onyx Boox Nova 3 for maybe 8 years now. It runs android, drm free everything. For some android could be a distractiin from reading, but the browser is slow enough to were you use it to hop on annas-archive, get a book and then quickly close it. File transfer via shared wifi or USB, good reader, some nice reading stats without needing any account. Recommend if anyone wants to jump the amazon ship.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
Yes I figured but wasn’t sure if I wasn’t missing something lol. Well at least I learned a new term (defederated).
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
When I say decentralization I refer to the fact that it is federated. Not sure what you mean.

I have never gotten into twitter so I couldn’t say, and I narrowly missed MySpace as well…
It was a lot of fun tho

It is a neat place, thank you!
- Comment on Tumblr to join fediverse 2 months ago:
Tumblr was a lot of fun. Yes it is a microblogging platform, but that doesn’t explain what the appeal was. I have no idea what the appeal is today as I left in 2015.
People would share text or image or links of things they liked, and if you reblogged it (shared to your own blog) the comment you added would be retained when someone reblogged your reblog, creating lusicrous chains of conversations that people would build and build on. They evwntually became unreadable because they got squashed into one line. There was no way to comment without reblogging.
Tumblr predates influencer culture, and tumblr celebrities were not really a thing (except for maybe @pizza by accident being tagged everywhere).
You also had a tag system, where you added hashtags to reblogs that were searchable. This way you would find topics you liked, ans blogs.
The blogs had custom CSS, with graphics and music playing but less free for all than MySpace. This made some blogs into minor art pieces, along with the things they reblogged.
For me the initial appeal was high def images. Instagram had not taken off, and so finding consisten high quality images of art, nature, sub culture and pop culture imagery or artists, porn etc. was not as obvious as it is today.
I loved tumblr but eventually got bored. Eventually they killed custom CSS and porn, and basically made tumblr worthless for anyone who wasn’t into fandoms (/s but kind of not. I have no idea what happens on tumblr today).
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
I am very new here, and not as passionate about the fediverse as some of you are (like your average redditor most likely).
Reading the comments here I think that the fact that you notice decentralization as a user can be a problem for many but offering simple instance lists, community lists in the UI can mitigate that and make it more a feature than a nuisance (for those that have trouble navigating it).
On desktop, I don’t mind switching servers with different URLs, especially since I can read them all with the same proton UI. However, on mobile (I spend more time on social media via mobile than desktop, I imagine most people do these days) using the Jerboa app I cannot figure out how to “visit” another server. I can’t enter the URL, I cannot click on the URL, I cannot search for @URL and get a list of the communities hosted on it…
I am sure there is documentation somewhere explaining how I achieve this, but I should not have to look for that just to acces different instances. I use lemmy on breaks mostly and as I said, am not passionate enough about social media to read manpages for it… I imagine some will think “then we don’t need people like you here”, but in the end if close-to mainstream user adoption is a goal, you kind of will need people who just want to look at cats and discover communities as well, and making jumping between instances and finding communities is an important part of making that happen.
