If you die in space, you die in the real world.

What side content should I do after finishing TOTK? in c/[email protected]

Go find all of the armor pieces in the game. Some are quite tricky to find. Then if you want the extra challenge, upgrade all of that armor to its max.

A response to the Sarah Silverman suing OpenAI post from yesterday: [AI doesn't read or write like humans, and we shouldn't act like it does.] in c/[email protected]

We're already heading in a direction that mainly benefits those who are already in power. The real impact of these lawsuits appears to be favoring corporations and copyright holders, without sufficient thought to how they might limit individuals like us. People are already anxious about AI taking their jobs, right? But if we keep creating laws that continuously favor the same powerful few, it shouldn't shock us when the average person can't keep up. Just to give you an idea, instead of being able to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to make my work easier, I may be forced to completely abandon this tech due to this kind of shortsightedness. LLMs should be a tool available to ALL of us, not just those at the top.

What is the fastest and reliable way to scan old paper magazines into digital form? in c/[email protected]

This is the correct answer.

What stupid conspiracy theories do you think will come out of the missing submarine? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

That it went missing due to the controller used. I find it utterly absurd to believe that a submarine of such high caliber could possibly go missing due to a low-grade Mad Catz controller. In my opinion, when you’re dealing with equipment as expensive and sophisticated as a submarine, you’d expect nothing but the most advanced and reliable controls, not some generic gaming joystick. It’s quite a far-fetched conspiracy theory if you ask me.

Is Crypto Finally Dead? in c/[email protected]

Haha, it's funny how people think centralization will do any good for something that was designed to be decentralized from the ground up. I swear, it's like folks have totally forgotten what crypto was initially intended to solve.

Well, the irony is hard to miss, right? Crypto was born out of this grand idea of decentralization, but then everyone just rushed over to these centralized exchanges. Kinda sounds like a death knell to me. Seems like the original spirit of crypto got lost in the rush for profits.

I do think the tech and the concept will keep evolving, and eventually, it'll morph into something new, get a new name or something. Here's hoping that when it does, people will get that it's better to trust the collective 'us' instead of just a select few. After all, these are often the same folks messing things up. But, what can you do, huh?

Thoughts on apathy and the Reddit protest (i.imgur.com)
 

Honestly, it's mind-boggling how the top 1% have us believing their relentless greed is just the norm and that we're helpless to do anything about it. This is particularly noticeable on platforms like Reddit, where we, the users, are the real value creators and even volunteer our time.

Just a few days ago, during the Reddit protests, the only thing required from us was to log off. However, it seemed that even this small act was too much for some. It's a stark wake-up call, making you question how and why we don't take a stand when our rights are truly in jeopardy.

In this day and age, it appears we're all too engrossed in our personal lives. If it doesn't directly affect us, it's shrugged off. This "not my problem" mindset is damaging to us all eventually. It hinders our ability to empathize with each other's struggles and to unite against common adversities. This isn't the type of society any of us should want. It's alarming to see our sense of community dwindling, and it's genuinely heartbreaking. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but the large number of people who seem indifferent is truly concerning. This should serve as a wake-up call for all of us. What do you guys think? (Pic not relevant)
