Holy fuck. Those are some pretty nasty experiences. No wonder they led to you having such a fear. I honestly don't think I could play a game like Subnautica, if it was me. So I think it's very impressive that you have, and even beat it twice. You're made of sterner stuff.
Damn, kudos to you for playing a game like Subnautica, when you have bad thalassophobia. Or did the game make you discover this fear? Still, if so, respect for continuing to play!
And in this future scenario, even if it isn't all fridges that phone home, or you somehow manage to disable it on a fridge that does, I'm sure that'll make your premium go up too. It'll be advertised as a cost-saving measure - "Give us access to this data, and you premium will be less! (Until we see you buying something outside of your plan, in which case, you'll have to pay more)"
Yeah, I never thought I'd be a vertical tabs fan, but I am really loving it in combination with their compact mode. Really nice layout with the containers, pinned tabs and essential tabs! Also really digging the Glance feature and floating URL bar. I'm really looking forward to folder support!
Any Elder Millennial born after 1979 can’t Markdown, all they know is jot that down, 30% off on jeans, nostalgia for blockbuster, eat hot chip and buy avocado toast
I always find it hilarious how some people from Alberta grew up thinking that rats were a made up thing for shows and movies. Because why wouldn't they? Haha.
El Salvador’s Prisons Are Notorious. Will They House Trump’s Deportees?
President Nayib Bukele has offered to jail deported criminals from the United States. His prisons have earned him a reputation as being tough on crime, but have raised alarms over rights abuses.
But the article doesn't really make it clear how much AI is involved in the textbooks, just that "Digital textbooks that make use of artificial intelligence are being adopted throughout South Korea.", emphasis mine.
Other text from the article, relevant to your question:
South Korea, the 2025 APEC chair, held the group's first education ministers' meeting in nine years, the theme of which was innovation in digital education. Education ministers from 21 countries and regions participated.
[...]
Private companies and government-affiliated organizations set up booths at the APEC venue to promote their efforts. They exhibited software in which generative AI writes student evaluations on behalf of teachers or assigns homework and applied problems tailored to each child's level of understanding.
The road to implementation was not a smooth one.
The government's original goal was the world's first rollout of AI digital textbooks to all schools nationwide. But teachers worried about the burden that making full use of the technology would place on them, while parents questioned whether the textbooks would actually improve student performance and whether they could lead to digital dependency.
After heated debate, lawmakers made last-minute changes, including requiring continued use of paper textbooks for subjects such as Korean and home economics and delaying implementation for other subjects. The government also made plans to provide advanced training to more than 160,000 teachers as well as dispatch 1,200 digital tutors as support staff.
I wonder if you're running into the same thing that I've had quite a bit of issue with in the last few weeks on lemmy.world.
When I go to the 'copy' of a post on lemmy.world from another instance, I will get the same message of "You must log in or register to comment."
Only by searching for the post on lemmy.world, clicking through to it, and then also refreshing, does lemmy seem to acknowledge that I am in fact logged in! But only if I do those steps in that order.
EDIT: I've made it a bit easier for myself by setting up the search engine in my browser: https://lemmy.world/search?q=%25s
So that I can just copy any other instance link, go to the address bar and type ls (the keyword I chose for the search engine), paste in the link and then go to the lemmy.world version from there, and refresh the page.
I used to be able to just use the Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin extension by cynber, but for the last few weeks I have to do the whole search and refresh dance instead.
Yes. I always figured it made sense, after I read an article that talked about how a study posited that yawning helped bring more oxygen into the body, which would temporarily make you more alert. So based on that, I figured it made sense why you'd get more tired, if you couldn't yawn.
That Imginn link that mediocreme_ow posted seems promising, but otherwise in a pinch, I have good results with opening Instagram posts from profiles by opening them in a new tab. If you just don't click them, but instead open them in a new tab, I don't get hit with the "create an account".
