Not before their brains start to rot by using those in the first place

It's scary to see how even the older generation gains reduced attention span, reduced ability to learn and need for instant gratification on this short dopamine machine.

This entire tipping thing is terrible - including for dashers themselves.

It means dashers income heavily relies on strangers being kind enough to leave some extra.

It means customers are gonna feel bad for not paying more than their order amount (and they probably will pay the tip)

It means company can employ slave labor for extremely low pay and still have people willing to do this.

Tipping benefits only one party - the companies. We need to stop it.

People are crazy when they promote closed-source AI (okay, okay, generative model) projects like ChatGPT, Bard etc.

This is literally one of the most important technologies of the future, and after all the times technology companies screwed them (us) up big time and monopolized the Internet, they go into the same trap again and again.

First they surrendered the free Internet, now they surrender the new frontiers.

Wake up, people. Go HuggingFace, advocate for free AI, and ideally - for a GPL one. We cannot afford for this part of our future to be taken away from us.

In my quest for the most privacy-respecting and direct control browser I ended up stumbling upon qutebrowser.

What fascinated me is that it literally doesn't request anything you haven't asked for. No telemetry, no weird connections. It only serves you what youbask of it.

But, and that's a big issue, qutebrowser is a proud keyboard-driven browser made for those looking to make their browsing experience more...vim.

So the question arises: is there any browser that is so strict with unwanted connections, telemetry etc., but with a normal GUI?

Thanks in advance for any response!

Ew.

Kissinger deserves the hatred he gets, but let's not vandalize Wikipedia, pretty please? It's an encyclopedia, not a political tribune.

This is not true; Bitcoin is open source and you don't have to guess whether such line is there or not.

It is not.

Nobody seems to be asking the main question: why would LGBT+ couples want to hire an open homophobe to take their wedding pictures to begin with?

Streaming:

-Charges you unreasonable amount of money

-If you cancel the subscription, you lose it all

-If they change the terms, you may lose access to some of the things in your library

Torrent:

-Costs a grand total of 0$

-Allows you to retain content for eternity

-Requires a 5 second effort to enter the name of a show/film in Sonarr/Radarr

The choice is clear.

A budget that goes into space exploration, development of groundbreaking science that has its use both in space and on Earth, popularization of science among masses, democratizing access to cutting-edge knowledge, making it free for everyone, including kids and the poor, to access at any time? Yes, please.
