?

I’m sad that my country decided to vote for this shit

To the moon 🙂‍↕️ but not much

You spoiled us

Is it because of the game then?

Codeberg doesn’t allow inactive projects or non FOSS projects afaik

Are being used to push fascist ideologies into every aspect of the internet:

Everything can be used for that. If anything, I believe AI models are too restricted and tend not to argue on controversial subjects, which prevents you from learning anything. Censorship sucks

They are a massive privacy risk:

I do agree on this, but at this point everyone uses instagram, snapchat, discord and whatever to share their DMs which are probably being sniffed by the NSA and used by companies for profiling. People are never going to change.

Ai is literally making people dumber: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/lee_2025_ai_critical_thinking_survey.pdf

We surveyed 319 knowledge workers who use GenAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) at work at least once per week, to model how they enact critical thinking when using GenAI tools, and how GenAI affects their perceived effort of thinking critically. Analysing 936 real-world GenAI tool use examples our participants shared, we find that knowledge workers engage in critical thinking primarily to ensure the quality of their work, e.g. by verifying outputs against external sources. Moreover, while GenAI can improve worker efficiency, it can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving. Higher confidence in GenAI’s ability to perform a task is related to less critical thinking effort. When using GenAI tools, the effort invested in critical thinking shifts from information gathering to information verification; from problem-solving to AI response integration; and from task execution to task stewardship. Knowledge workers face new challenges in critical thinking as they incorporate GenAI into their knowledge workflows. To that end, our work suggests that GenAI tools need to be designed to support knowledge workers’ critical thinking by addressing their awareness, motivation, and ability barriers.

I would not say “can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving” equals to “literally making people dumber”. A sample size of 319 isn’t really representative anyways, and they mainly had a sample of a specific type of people. People switch from searching to verifying, which doesn’t sound too bad if done correctly. They associate critical thinking with verifying everything (“Higher confidence in GenAI’s ability to perform a task is related to less critical thinking effort”), not sure I agree on this.

This study is also only aimed at people working instead of regular use. I personally discovered so many things with GenAI, and know to always question what the model says when it comes to specific topics or questions, because they tend to hallucinate. You could also say internet made people dumber, but those who know how to use it will be smarter.

They had to write an essay in 20 minutes… obviously most people would just generate the whole thing and fix little problems here and there, but if you have to think less because you’re just fixing stuff instead on inventing… well yea, you use your brain less. Doesn’t make you dumb? It’s a bit like saying paying by card makes you dumber because you use less of your brain compared to paying in cash because you have to count how much you need to give, and how much you need to get back.

Yes, if you get helped by a tool or someone, it will be less intensive for your brain. Who would have thought?!

Encrypted messengers for the win

I hope a future where Google is kicked out of Android but that won’t happen

and then it’s even worse, you go through sms which is even less confidential

when we’re saying that if the group chat leaks, we end up in prison, it seems like it was true

Let’s Jellyfin and chill

People can’t be bothered to run better messaging apps. Expecting them to change OS is crazy

It’s just the main instances, don’t stress it

Google accepts my emails though, they just go to spam, which isn’t a big deal to me

Indeed, sorry. Crazy this still hasn’t been addressed. It’s a really important security check

They do have reproducible builds for android though? https://signal.org/blog/reproducible-android/

They can’t for iOS because it’s just not a feature there

Else, there’s Molly you can use, but yea, Signal doesn’t like it

Yea I know, but the post says that the admins accept it, which is false

So a random mod speaks for Reddit? What kind of BS is this post
