Im not American so I dont have a 401k, and im not part of New Deal or Great Society style programs... But sure, I understand why you would assume that. It makes sense because of what I wrote.

About perishing because climate change, I dont believe that will happen. Nature is the least of our problems. Our leaders are the problem. Their greed and lust for power, their tendencies to be narcissists or full blown evil monsters. The worst of humanity. At the top of the pyramids of power.

If the US goes into a full depression, its because of its leaders. The rest of us havent done anything. I think you should blame them, and not previous generations of people just like yourself.

Every young generation feels like that. Every single one before yours felt the same. :)

Its actually not about generations being different, we are the same. You may be 20, I may be 50, we still want the same things.

Fixed a bug in the Meta+V clipboard popup that made it sometimes fail to pre-select the top-most item. (Akseli Lahtinen, link)

This happened all the time for me and was super annoying. I switched to gnome for a while again but nice to see this is fixed.

I saw it on tv news yesterday and I was just so sad that this is what we have now as a president. Switched channels quickly, no point being depressed. But its just sad.

I think we are at the end stage of capitalism and people should live their lives, trying to get out of the matrix if they can.

Its probably more about wanting justice and being unable to get it. Living in a country where police pops a journalist and nothing really happens. Just some article that someone is "concerned".

I dont think its a complaint about the journalism per se. Just feeling frustrated that the police officer is not immediately dismissed and sent to court to stand trial for obvious intentional use of force against someone completely innocent.

But America has changed and the very president encourages violence and pure racism, so.... Yeah.

 

If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't.

I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

 

Is gen z intentionally refusing to change their behavior for work, or what is the reason for this?

Kind of think it's cool that they remain themselves.

 

Similar to America, Europe is also artificially trying to make consumers choose native cars, by making Chinese ones more expensive.

 

This article describes the real reason behind the push back to the office. It's about rich people gambling on real estate and now office buildings are empty.

These same people own newspapers and media channels which is why their crying voices are being pushed.

 

My favorite quote:

While employees in the office might kill time messaging friends or flipping through TikTok, remote workers take advantage of being far from the watchful gaze of bosses to chip away at personal to-do lists or to goof off.

Nearly half of remote workers multitask on work calls or complete household chores like unloading the dishwasher or doing a load of laundry, according to the SurveyMonkey poll of 3,117 full-time workers in the U.S.

Oh noes, people actually doing things that are useful for their families instead of even more computer time.

It's insane that this is even considered strange or surprising. When I work from home, I take longer lunch breaks and I often stop working earlier, but I'm still three times as productive compared to sitting in an office.

At home, I actually get focused time to do something and think. At the office, this is extreamly difficult with all the distractions and noise constantly interrupting my train of thought.

 

Some quotes from the article:

There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program.

We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane.

Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors.

These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.

 

Who is surprised?

I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

 

I don't expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it's nice that it will be possible in a year.

Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

 

I tried this last night and I actually really like it. The default theme seems to have changed also and looks much cleaner.

And you can have AI models open in the sidebar. Not only chatgpt but also other open source and free models like huggingface. I thought that was very cool.

I don't know if the general public have even tried any other model than chatgpt. It's fun to play around with others.
