I do believe my experience in this regard is not representative of everyone, I probably failed to untick some checkbox (regarding communications) and the "too many ad emails" are a handful (in 3 months), which to me is a handful too much (having to untick a box should not be necessary)
I get your point, though Tailscale specifically crosses a line for me in this sense:
Using code created/maintained by businesses: ok
Relying in infrastructure maintained by businesses: not ok
I am not that big of an enthusiast, but the way I see it, if a company goes rogue and you're using their open source code, it's just a matter of forking it (I'm thinking about Emby/Jellyfin as an example)
If you rely on their infrastructure (such as Tailscale servers) then you are at the mercy of the companies
To that end: I'd say that OP is prettt on point by suggesting Headscale, you're still "using Tailscale" in a sense, but without chaining yourself to the business
Yup, I don't know if that is OP's intention, but I would agree myself with the complaint that "Tailscale is a business"
The way I see it, if it's a business it must generate revenue (either now or down the road), and that is enough to have me worried.
I do have a Tailscale registration, and the way they approach email communication is already a yellow flag to me (too many ad emails)
In this case I'll give you that it can be useful (mostly in reading several recipes and summarizing), but personally I'm still going to do the old school web search (if anything, just to exercise my information retrieval skill, which I believe is important)
I respectfully disagree, while you might be able to get some pointers, I would not trust LLMs with the ingredients quantities (given that replacing a number or measure unit is quite easy and would go unnoticed)
So while I could understand asking: "should I put bell peppers on this dish?", I would never trust it's answer to "how much bell pepper should I put in the recipe?" (Which I believe is what recipes are about)
I'm also in my late 20s, and I'm an immigrant (changed continents)
When I meet new people, ai usually have a hard time coming up with something to talk about, so I had (still have) a hard time making new friends.
What helped me was to have continuous contact with people in a focused environment, for example: with around 6 months of office attendance I started warming up to my new colleagues (which eventually became friends), even though we were usually talking about work back then, we started to talk about it less and less up to a point where we don't even work together anymore, but keep in touch
I found another of such environments in sports practices as well: don't want to talk about anything? Fine, let's just keep this ball rolling back and forth" but then eventually (again after a few months of continuous contact with the same group of people) things started to warm up a little
So to sum it up I'd say: patience is key, it usually takes a while before prople start to get along well
Not like you described, but some days I try so much of the food as I go that when I finish I'm already satisfied (though I would definitely not describe it as "not wanting to eat")
