Someone feel free to jump in and audit my take:

The Internet Archive is not a company, does not sell me anything, and is merely providing a public service.

The service has nothing to do with my health or wellbeing. It is not marketed as being privacy forward. Hell, the whole purpose of the project is to make data publically accessable.

Therefore, exposing email addresses… I kinda don’t care?

Of course, it would be way better if they just used generic login numbers etc instead, but… I feel like this is the equivalent of my library card number getting leaked, and these headlines are treating it like Equifax just leaked my SSN again.

No, closest thing is to join a datahoarder group and trade when needed.

Although with LinkWarden gaining popularity, something like this developing is a possibility.

Yep. Its just another form of tribalism.

In a similar vein as Meyers-Briggs, Harry Potter houses, and every single buzzfeed quiz.

People are dynamic. We are the product of our experiences, not the position of the planets.

My exact experience finding out Audacity has adware

But neither have seamless voice chat/screen sharing, which is a staple of Discord that users are very used to.

This is a fantastic read. I wasnt around for the prime days of forums but I did experience them a bit.

I’m becoming extremely concerned about the number of topics and projects that are migrating to Discord. My main issue is that it is not and never will be publically indexed, and among other problems, is itself a corporate walled garden we consider to be “one of the good ones”.

I really hope we find and establish a “low executive cost” solution before the next time Discord fumbles (which is inevitable) and we can claw some of that activity back.

But people are so used to seamless voice and video chat nowadays - and that’s a technical hurdle that AFAIK, no open-source self-hostable projects have come close to solving.

This feels like its establishing a precedent for widespread adoption/implementation of AI into consumer devices. Manufactured consent.

“We compute one pixel… we hallucinate, if you will, the other 32.”

Between this and things like Sora, we are doomed to drown in illusions of our own creation.

Man I fucking love this community sometimes. This is like the 5th fantastic self hostable open source software I’ve seen since joining lemmy, and every time, it gives me that feeling of discovering the internet all over again.

Recent changes in GTA Online moderation now censor words like “meth” and “cocaine” in chat…

…in a game where large portions of the gameplay are focused around selling meth and cocaine.

My memory sort of acts like a carousel/merry-go-round, in that I’ll store a memory, I know it is there, but I cannot access it at will, and it will re-appear at a random time at some point in the future when doing something completely unrelated.

A “memory-go-round”, if you will.

Oh this is awesome, how have I never heard of this?

True, introspection can help a lot. Therapy is even better

No he’s not. You just made that up. Its going to be different this time, I swear

That’s what we call “wild magic”

Gotta write it down, so you can read it off if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

The only way I’m able to get anything done is through a combination of tricking myself and gaslighting my brain

Possible solution to the Von Neumann bottleneck? Or does this address a different issue

This photo makes me sad and I’m not sure why

Considering how much medication can help, uh, yeah, do those things. Its a trivial inconvenience compared to living unmedicated.

Also 5k is a lot, maybe if you’re uninsured? Hell, getting an uninsured MRI is cheaper than that. And health insurance is kind of a must for living with a disability.

Don’t like sentiments like this. I feel like it prevents people from getting the help they need.

Well shit.

What the fuck is a GRAVITY BOMB???
