Yeah, that’s going to happen. The features that make website useful are the same features used to track everything. It’s a sliding scale from usability to privacy. The further you go in one direction the less you get from the other.

Mullvad also has a browser.

It’s a form of regulatory capture and is taught is all business schools.

So you took your experience with an admittedly bad car and generalized all other cars based on it?

If I buy a Kia I shouldn’t expect it to drive like a Bentley just because they both have an IC engine.

I have been driving one for years. I only put gas in it on road trips. No need for extra charging time just go. For daily activities I never need to use gas. You’re spreading from speculation, I’m speaking from experience.

Admittedly, they are heavier. You got that bit right. I still got 40mpg on road trips.

Plug in hybrids are the best of both worlds. Any of the Toyota primes would be the ideal vehicle for most people. Too bad it’s near impossible to get one even if you have the money.

Does anyone know if a LLM has been trained on something like scihub?

Why not both?

Is reddit still a serious thing? I haven't visited in months and it no longer appears in my search results.

To be clear, I don’t search for reddit specifically. What I’m trying to say is that when I search for something that is likely going to be found in a forum reddit does not even appear in my results.

I’ve found that “living in the moment” is the best way I can describe it. Instead of thinking about what’s next, like upcoming appointments or responsibilities just watch, look, and listen to your surroundings. You can be sitting, standing, or anything in between. Your body position or location do not matter.

Even while in a room alone, try to think about the things around you. What do you see? What do you hear? What is that smell? If you’re eating something, how does it taste. Do you feel the breeze as it flows across your body? The more you can identify and the more detailed you can be in answering these questions the easier mindfulness becomes. I find it helpful to think about the things I’m experiencing individually. Trying to take it all in at once is sometimes overwhelming and causes me to lose mindfulness.

There will be intrusive thoughts and your mind will wander. This is normal and when you notice it happening go back to thinking about your surroundings.

To me the most important part of mindfulness is recognizing your existence in your environment. So take everything you are experiencing and think deeply about how you are a part of it all. For example, the sounds would not be the same without you. Some sound waves are absorbed and some bounce off your body and back into your environment. You’re an integral part of the world around you. It wouldn’t sound the same without the sound waves bouncing off you and back into the environment. Try to understand your impact on your surroundings. Appreciate the opportunity to experience these things. Cherish the understanding of yourself and your environment that you begin to develop while practicing mindfulness.

Now take another look, listen, and smell. Then try to identify more and think deeply about those things and how your presence is part of it all.

I am trying to reduce distractions and be more mindful of my surroundings. The sights, smells, and sounds of everything around me and my existence as part of it all.

It is still new to me and I find myself unconsciously getting my phone from my pocket and scrolling because it is boring. However, the effects I feel like reduced anxiety and depression are worth it. I also get to see things that I would miss if I were distracted by electronics.

Maybe practicing mindfulness could be beneficial for you as well.
