Sad to hear of it, especially coming out of one of the more civilised healthcare systems we have at the moment.

Ironically doesn't Finland also rank high on the happiest citizens list?

I spend five minutes trying to figure out what the heck this was until I saw the community name. The best consensus the people I showed it to came up with is that it was a graphic like that one graphic of weathermen showing how high floodwaters were in relation to their own size.

Like that blocky first person shooter that sweeped audiences away earlier last year? The one with like 128 players in one map?

Make a book of notes from a variety of sources, lectures and references just in time for it all to fade right before the semester exams.

Ugh, this entire concept makes me want to wash my eyeballs, both the cheating, the homewrecking, the justifying it after the fact, and the gloating too.

Hey, I don't know if it will make a difference for you, but some time ago I had to take a really long trip where I had spotty internet at best, and I got back into reading in that trip because I was really bored. I rediscovered my drive when I went long enough without any alternatives to reading, forcing boredom on myself.

Maybe something like this will help you also?

What kinda content do you consume? I'm talking about genre - what games do you like, what do you watch online? I might be able to recommend a book if it's an interest I share.

Every day I have to make so many decisions that by Lunch I'd be like "The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised"

Wont the soaps just lose shape by the time they are to be put into a socket of the new bar?

Damn, I've never set foot on a ship but that last paragraph makes me wonder if I've been a Navyman all along.

 
 

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no "Editor's Picks" on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.

What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?

What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?

Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?

Does anyone here use any Open-Source Workout Trackers? I've been using hevy, but their high fees, the fact that they are a company that holds my health data and has made no commitments to open source, User privacy, or fair trade practices like user data import/export has me looking around. I wanted to see if anyone had reliable open source alternatives.

Tell me your workout tracking stories here! Tell me what you liked and what you disliked.

 

Is using Voyager giving Chrome an opportunity to harvest user data? I'll take whatever you know about the Voyager dependence on chrome.

 

Useful because now you'll be able to tell that something is human-generated instead of AI-generated, and content creators and people with a large public presence will now be able to police their own likeness being used by randos.

Scary both because now whistleblowers or reporters could get their cover blown because the image has metadata linking them to it; or they could strip off this metadata and get the evidence dismissed entirely as fraudulent; and also because of the possibility that any regulatory government body that enforces C2PA will also determine what is real and what is not, meaning anyone on the inside will be able to generate AI content and pass it off as real to the vast majority of the population.

Can't help but think they shortened it to C2PA instead of CCPA because of the similarity in acronyms of the latter and the big bad no-privacy country.

What do you think? Non-issue, Slightly concerning, or apocalyptic?
