  • Genuine question: in what ways do Apple track iOS users (that cannot be turned off)?

    I’m of the viewpoint that most tracking can be rather easily be turned off, and that android plays in a totally other ballpark here. But I might very well be wrong.

  • Having been paid very good, and today less good due to a career change. I’ll happily tell you payment gave absolutely zero impact on feeling engaged at work. If the job sucks, it’ll suck with good pay as well.

    Sure, it might be easier to push through. But it will not make it more engaging. Co workers and a supporting environment sure will though.

    Not to say I don’t want compensation to be higher across the board, but we should have both.

  • Oh so this is this week attention grabbing statement from Musk regarding Twitter?

    All he wants is attention. This is not happening, like most of stuff he has said during the last months. Paywall and whatnot.

    Move on and ignore the guy.

  • Recently started. 3 weeks ago or so. I mostly lay down in my bed to be honest. The way you sit is not important here. Get comfortable and make it a habit. Better to be done “sub optimal” than not at all.

    I do both guided and just by myself. Tried like 4 different apps, Balance’s guided meditations resonated best with me and is free for a year.

    But honestly, it’s not about the right app, the right position and whatnot. Just get started. I do 10-15 minutes before bed every day. Most days I feel like doing more, and that’s fine, I do. But my crucial habit one is always right before bed.

  • Some happy news then, it seems like Memmy is being developed again. Was picked up again 6 days ago. Though, from what it looks like, it’s a rather major rework. So could take some time. But gkasdorf has put in a lot of work.

  • I mean most top searches are AI generated bullshit nowadays anyway. Adding Reddit to a search is basically the only decent way to get a proper answer. But those answers are not much more reliable than ChatGPT. You have to use the same sort of skepticism and fact checking regardless.

    Google has really gotten horrible over the years.

  • People keep saying this about Plex, yet I’ve received one pop up about paying them during the last 6 months. That was while I tried to use a pay feature. Not once otherwise.

    There are plenty of apps that I can’t use due to their annoyance when you’re in the free tier. Plex have not bothered me in the least.

    Why am I not using streamio? Well, we have an Apple TV so that’s tough. Might get something else down the line, but I pirate to save money, not to save money on entertainment and spend it on equipment instead.

  • Time helps us get through pain, even though it often leaves a mark. For me, changing how I think about things has really made a difference.

    It's great to feel good, but I don't think that needs to be the main goal of life. I try to see life as a gift where feeling all kinds of emotions is a valuable part. I hope everyone gets to feel the incredible joy of being in love and the comfort of a happy relationship, but also knows what it's like to go through a heartbreak... Because going through different feelings, good or bad, adds so much to our lives.

    Heartbreak gives us strength and empathy, happiness gives us beautiful memories, and love? Love is that quiet, steady thing that makes all the tough parts worth it. So I try to welcome every feeling, every moment, and every experience, because together, they make up our unique, stories.

  • No one is saying they shouldn’t be allowed to run ads. But that they should be allowed to run highly specific and targeted ads is not by any means a forgone conclusion.

    Television, newspapers, ads out in the “wild” and whatnot. All manage without individualizing ads. And Facebook could as well. But it’s more profitable to say to hell with our users privacy, let’s individualize the shit out of those ads.

    That’s the problem.

  • The protection cited in the article is for buildings. Alright? No one is becoming a militarized surveillance state over buildings being protected by the military.

    This is a prime minister wanting to look strong in tough times, not a country becoming a surveillance state.
