Less hate and radicalism. I’m sorry to say this because I would love Lemmy to rule over Reddit, but most headlines I get are about hate: from Elon Musk, to Apple, to any browser not being Firefox or any OS not being Linux or Android.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wish humans could get firmware upgrades
91·3 years agoReading books, studying, learning new things, is our way to update our firmware to make new things, or give us new tools to fight anxiety or depression.
Also, to improve your math skills, you have to do maths often, and the brain will get better at it.
The brain is like a muscle that you can train to become stronger at things that hurt you or better at things that you need.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There are identical twins out there whose parents confused one with the other and now they living their life with the name of the other sibling, never noticing because it doesn't make any difference.
181·3 years agoCan confirm. During my whole primary school there were two twin girls in my class and me and all my other mates could tell them apart instantly but any other child in the school couldn’t. Actually we were quite surprised when they couldn’t because for us was quite obvious to differentiate them both.
either that or the porn is hidden there

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who fix computers/laptops, what's the worst thing you found on someone's computer?
29·3 years agoAll the internals of one laptop I opened were really covered in oil, the fans were totally stuck and unable to spin (maybe the main reason why they sent it to us) and the whole thing really stank. I called the customer to ask how was that possible and to inform that those defects weren’t covered by our warranty and they told me it was used in a restaurant’s kitchen, and they didn’t understand why they couldn’t use it there.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s the difference between natural and man made?English
7·3 years agousing Minecraft to compare natural vs artificial was something I wasn’t expecting to see today. Specially comparing the quality of carrots generated by the game vs carrots planted by the player.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossibleEnglish
29·3 years agoRelated: https://lemmy.world/post/2235459
So, we will be forced to see ads, while they can’t yet control who’s publishing those ads. I wonder why Google (and any other ad company) hasn’t been sued yet for showing and infecting malware into the people who click on their ads. Maybe is not that critical or easy for a domestic user, but corporations or governments?
And it’s not because it’s impossible to verify malware before accepting their ads, it’s because THEY DONT CARE. If they can detect music on videos for copyright claims, they can analyze everything, they can also verify publishers. And if they can’t with an algorithm, they should use humans to manually verify publishers.

Technology@lemmy.world•anytype — decentralized, p2p, e2ee 'Notion' like appEnglish
2·3 years agoI’m trying it and i would say it’s quite close. As far as I know, it lacks the last recent updates like action buttons and AI spam (that’s a positive one for me). But it has databases like Notion, my biggest requirement for a second brain, so I’m in.

Technology@lemmy.world•anytype — decentralized, p2p, e2ee 'Notion' like appEnglish
4·3 years agoI’ve been reading their FAQ and this sounds very reasonable:
-
If you want to use their cloud for backup, it will have a cost (they have not come with one yet because they have not come that far yet. It’ll depend on their hosting cost and such).
-
But if you want to just sync between your own devices without their server, you can, and it’ll be totally free (they insist that “your data is always yours and only yours”)

Technology@lemmy.world•anytype — decentralized, p2p, e2ee 'Notion' like appEnglish
3·3 years agoThank you! I downloaded and tried it and I like it a lot! Runs really smooth and the features like end to end encryption, decentralized and local sync between devices and being open software are enough reasons to jump onboard!
I’m not a power user and I want to use it personally for myself (not a business) and after seeing what it can do and how smooth it is, I’m in!

Technology@lemmy.world•anytype — decentralized, p2p, e2ee 'Notion' like appEnglish
7·3 years agoInteresting. I have a few questions for those who have already tried:
- Does it work offline?
- Does it has databases like Notion?
- Does it has a browser extension to capture content from the web?
I know I can look for it myself on the web, and I’ll do right now, but I think that having here the answers will help others with the same questions.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore?
4·3 years ago/r/FoundTheStoic
Sorry, old habits from Reddit. I agree with you. This is one great thing I learnt from stoicism and is a great approach in life. It doesn’t mean to become an ignorant about global issues or don’t care at all, it means to focus on what you can do in your life to help or to have a good life:
Can you fix global warming? Not alone. Then, don’t worry about it in your day life. But, what can you do to help? Can you reduce or stop using plastic bags? Then do it. Have you the money to buy an electric car? Then do it. If not, don’t worry about it until you can.
Stoicism for me is also a great tool to reduce a big problem I can’t solve into smaller actionable problems I may be able to solve and helps me focus on them. It truly helps you to reduce stress about big problems.

Technology@lemmy.world•Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleadingEnglish
711·3 years agoAs many other things on the internet, the original idea was great (renting your couch or a room in your house for tourists to accommodate and feel a local experience, but once it reached the masses, and speculative companies bought properties just to rent them and pay cheap labor to maintain the rooms, it became BS one more time.
No matter what those whose drive is pure economical touch, they always ruin it.
yeah, it’s true that some humans are really bad, but they’re nothing without (poorly educated) followers, and their followers are the one that give those humans the power to do evil things. Critical thinking is something that should be taught more often to avoid history from repeating.

News@lemmy.world•Facebook, Instagram face Norwegian ban from tracking users for ads
4·3 years agothe fine is the less important, the fine is the big deal here. Not because Norway will be big enough to make them to change, but because it can send the example for the EU and other countries and if the rest of the world (I have very little hope for the US to go against a corporation) bans Facebook, then they’ll have to move and change their antics.
Not technically a chore, but a chore preventer: Close the lid before flushing the toilet.
I run an Airbnb hosting in a room on my house for like 3 years and I’m still amazed by how little people actually did it. Even after we sat a signal asking for it just above the flush button. Having feces particles all around your brushes, toothbrushes, towels, etc is an image nobody has but myself it seems.
