Super reasonable. I should get with the times and start using it too...

Or what do you use them for? Isn't it now quite easy for websites to track outside of just cookies?

I usually do this every night when I'm about to sleep, and also during times when I want to decompress from the barrage of notifications. Sure, DND mode is a thing but I really enjoy the feeling of being unreachable sometimes. Having it on DND still makes you receive the notifications. It's also easier than turning your phone on and off. Regarding emergencies, I really don't have any situations where it'd be so pressing for me to react immediately to something. And either way I'd never sleep having volume/vibration enabled from calls.

Is there anyone that relates to this?

EDIT: I decided on Mailbox.org!

Cross-posted from "Looking for a good e-mail provider that's not Tuta/Proton" by @Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com in !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com


I'd like to use a third-party client like Thunderbird to handle my e-mails, which rules out both Tuta and Proton (I know Proton has their bridge, but I don't want to rely on it). I'm willing to compromise on my e-mails not being encrypted, as long as the e-mail provider has a reputation of caring about the customer's privacy. If I truly want to encrypt a message, I'll encrypt it myself. I've been looking at Mailbox.org, and while I've been hearing good things, people have also been complaining about their lack of support, outdated interface as well as that they don't enforce DKIM/DMARC which enables spoofing.

I would like to be able to use my own custom domain, but also to use their own domain for my e-mail aliases. EU-based only.

Any thoughts?

I've been maintaining my weight for a while now but lately it's been rising so I've adjusted calories accordingly, but I'm curious what you see as an acceptable "fluctuation" when you're maintaining?

Most people learn a new language in order to make headway in their career, be able to move abroad or just to speak with people of that country or consume their media. For people who learn for these reasons, will advances in AI and LLMs make learning a language more obsolete? Are there actually less people picking up a foreign language since LLMs opened to the public? What about the "human connection" which translators won't be able to replicate?

I guess we're still far off from real-time translation without delay in every kind of situation, especially since making sense of a sentence in many languages is very dependant on context or some word at the end of the sentence that changes the meaning of the first few words spoken.

I see learning a language as a way not only to communicate with different people, but to also learn a different way of seeing the world. That's also kind of why I'm against a global language replacing all others: in a language, the culture of the people speaking it is intrinsically linked. Wiping out a language means wiping out the culture. People don't think the same in English as they do in Mongolian. Even the concept of "time" can be different, depending on how it's expressed in another language. Translators at the moment aren't able to capture all these nuances and differences, even if they sometimes succeed.

Like, we live on so much space but require furniture to be able to use it. I started sitting on the floor for large parts of the day last year and it's been really nice. Also helps with general mobility!

I'd want to split them up so I can let the mails that go to @mailbox.org, be received by a different inbox than my custom domain email. Is this possible?

I'm currently paying for two different email providers, 1 for my custom domain and 1 for the rest (KolabNow). I'd like to reduce my costs and streamline this a bit. Didn't really know where to post though so I'm trying here.

Excluding Nyaa or private trackers, as many ongoing and more obscure titles aren't available to torrent. I've been using Comick and Weeb Central, but I don't really know how up to date they are on new scanlations as I think they're mostly aggregating from other sources?

I pay for 500 gb on Filen, €3.99 a month, which feels like a fair deal.

It's better to pay for a VPN provider that is verified to work in China. And no, they won't kidnap you for using a VPN as some people write here. It's a non-issue just to bypass the GFW. The issue is when you write to a Chinese audience things that the CCP do not like.

I'd like to clarify that removing DRM does lie in a grey zone in many countries, including in the US due to some court rulings. In some countries the right to make a backup of your e-book might have priority over copyright law for example.

Interesting to see arrests still happening towards private trackers. I wonder how the Nordics fares nowadays when it comes to being the Mecca of filesharing, feels like the golden days have passed since long ago.

I'd say a fair idea is to host your own personal website with your resume, if you're capable and/or want to learn. There are often examples you can base your portfolio on.

I do not know about this specific case, but many cracked copies are true false-positives. Only 28/74 flagged it as malicious. Sure, do your due diligence, but in general it'll be picked by antiviruses as malware.

If you don't read the article, this sounds worse than it is. I think this is the important part:

ChatGPT's persuasion performance is still short of the 95th percentile that OpenAI would consider "clear superhuman performance," a term that conjures up images of an ultra-persuasive AI convincing a military general to launch nuclear weapons or something. It's important to remember, though, that this evaluation is all relative to a random response from among the hundreds of thousands posted by everyday Redditors using the ChangeMyView subreddit. If that random Redditor's response ranked as a "1" and the AI's response ranked as a "2," that would be considered a success for the AI, even though neither response was all that persuasive.

OpenAI's current persuasion test fails to measure how often human readers were actually spurred to change their minds by a ChatGPT-written argument, a high bar that might actually merit the "superhuman" adjective. It also fails to measure whether even the most effective AI-written arguments are persuading users to abandon deeply held beliefs or simply changing minds regarding trivialities like whether a hot dog is a sandwich.

I didn't see anything about the implications of this on the EU and GDPR?

It seems weird FBI would post misinformation regarding how "they" are spending the money

Endless growth will kill us all. I can't tell you how much I detest these "concerns".

I really dislike this argument. Just because it's "their country, their rules" doesn't not make it an issue? Especially when it comes to privacy concerns. Privacy concerns are universal. There are a plethora of serious issues that are not defended by "national sovereignty". If that was the case we should just turn a blind eye to North Korea, right?

No one ever questions these things. "It's for the kids!" is the one argument that'll lead us all to damnation.
