A webshop, where I wanted to buy tools. Choose things, put into cart, then go to check-out. The "check-out" was a page that they wanted you to print out and fax to them. Nope, nope, nope. :-)

My graphical goto tool is double commander, so lists. In the terminal, it's either ls -hal, fzf or mc, depending on use case.

Sounds illegal, though...

'whoami' and 'who am i' are two different things. Try it out.

Something like this?

alias ls="who am i >> /var/log/intruder.log && logout"
alias l="/usr/bin/ls"

Join a choir?

How about starting your own sub - here or on Reddit? Then you are the mod.

I like svg, as it is basically an ASCII file. And i can manipulate them with sed/grep etc for bulk changes.

Fully agree. I would add that a child should be able to opt out in case their 'other country' does not allow multiple citizenships.

We would have to go a long way back, before religions became the first worldwide media outlets. Hard to imagine how we would do in a Neanderthal world. Must have been rad.

So why is a real “thinking” AI likely impossible? Because it’s bodiless.

Why would anything need a body to be intelligent? Just because we have bodies and whoever said that cannot imagine different forms of life/intelligence? Not that i think, current LLMs have the experience and creativity to be called intelligent. i just don't think that everything that's intelligent needs an arse :)

With that lack of sleep over such a long time, you won't succeed. You'll ruin your mind and body. You won't make your mother proud if you break down. Please look for a plan B.

William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Kirk and Spock in the early Startrek films and series.

I think, on a personal Linux desktop, more damage is done by malicious browser extensions than by actual viruses or root kits. So you could classify it as social engineering, maybe.

Once, someone sent me an Amazon link for baby nappies, and fool me clicked on it. Now Amazon showed boomer me baby nappies suggestions for the next six months. AI at its best... These things annoy me, so I try to avoid being tracked whenever reasonably possible.

OTOH, I am old and hope to not live long enough to experience any rogue government or whatever else persecuting me for having clicked on a baby nappies link years ago; so my threat model is short term only. I keep my privacy to a level, where it hopefully prevents as many annoyances as possible, but does not hamper what I am doing online too much. If I was younger, I'd likely do more.

Same here. I am not interested in religion (so not even really atheist), wife is Buddhist doing Buddhist things. Married for 40 years this year, and it's not an issue.

That's what I do, too. However, I did block some communities, mostly meme- or politics related, so I can briefly browse the "all" category once in a while.

Sometime in the 90ies, when i upgraded my modem to 33600 baud and everything started to go lightning fast. You could download a whole megabyte in less than five minutes, on a good day. Mind-blowing!

I can feel you. YouTube is my "tv" and I've been watching it for years. But lately the quality of the suggestions has gone completely out of whack, imo. I scroll through the suggestions and find nothing worth watching. Sometimes i try to improve it by hitting 'not interested' or 'don't suggest this channel', but it's not helping.

Maybe Spez has bribed Google to show us rubbish, so we'd return to Reddit?

I could see this as a potentially helpful tool for the blind or visually impaired. Combined with a service like 'be my eye', that could make sense.
