Imo that’s one of the lesser QoL issues. I find it more annoying that there’s no pagination other than “Next” button. Why don’t we have “Prev”, “First”, “Last” and page numbers? That’s quite basic pagination functionality.

The title before editing was “Do you know any popular websites where people can talk to each other anonymously?” And it made way more sense when it was like that…
ZeroNet? Tor Network? I2P?
Proton has some technical issues as well. Recently there was a day when email wasn’t working at all for hours, maybe even half a day. I’m paying for their VPN sub and using it for years and not going to move in nearby future, but if I was picking something now I would carefully consider other options. Never heard about those mentioned in thread though, if they are new I wouldn’t use them, I’d like something with good record track of at least one decade, better few decades.
I hate it. I already agreed to use unique unmemorizable password for every account and store them all in Bitwarden and now this is not enough? Yeah, I store my email password in Bitwarden too. With phones it’s even worse, since it’s way more probable to lose your phone than to lose your money due to database password breach. I don’t understand why those probabilities are not estimated when introducing practices like this. Also, I don’t remember the details but in the past I lost some accounts and passwords just by factory resetting the phone which had password manager app installed (probably forgot to transfer passphrases from the phone before wiping it).
What book in the history of literature has any sentence that starts with “What book in the history of literature has any sentence that ends with”? 😏
It got a bit more popularity over the last half of year. Not as big as X, but not small AF and it’s the best “easy” alternative. The best “hard” alternative is mastodon, what makes it “hard” is it’s very fragmented and it takes some efforts to pick instance, to understand consequences of your choice, and to figure out how to use your feed for different scenarios.
Why use photos when you can just memorize the picture in your head? 🫠
I really like this idea a lot and it’s applicable in a variety of fields, not only in drawing!
It’s because streaming in movies is exactly the same one thing everyone thinks about, while streaming in music is dozen of different things and you meant just a single particular one while excluding all others. If we consider all types of music streaming, there are countless free streaming services for this: youtube, soundcloud, mixcloud, spotify, thousands of internet radios.
The goal is to be on so many that SQL JOIN goes OOM 😅
3-4 hours a day 5 days a week worked fine for me when I was working. Meeting hours mandatory and the rest flexible. Remote work. With on-site work short-hours-more-days is more problematic because you have to spend time getting there and getting home, choosing less days with more hours is an obvious optimization.
There are studies that look deeper into model collapse in various AI models and demonstrate some interesting results. In this one, there is an example of how model degrades over generations. I think the model presented here is the one used at Meta, but with a smaller number of parameters.
Example 1. Example of text outputs of an OPT-125m model affected by model collapse—models degrade over generations, for which each new generation is trained on data produced by the previous generation.
• Input: some started before 1360 — was typically accomplished by a master mason and a small team of itinerant masons, supplemented by local parish labourers, according to Poyntz Wright. But other authors reject this model, suggesting instead that leading architects designed the parish church towers based on early examples of Perpendicular.
• Outputs:
When AI consumes only AI generated content, model collapse happens. That’s why it’s a big mystery and intrigue to me what’s gonna happen to human beings.
Nothing is truly random
Modern physics says otherwise. Einstein also thought exactly like that with his “hidden variables” theory which was later disproven.
Edit: I was interested to read some relevant discussions and here’s some links with quotes
https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/29364/does-true-randomness-actually-exist
It seems very likely that every deviation from perfect homogeneity and isotropy in the universe is due to amplified quantum fluctuations. (That’s true in inflationary cosmology, and I’d expect it to be true in practically any alternative to it.) For example, the shape of Earth’s land masses was probably determined by quantum fluctuations, and has had an enormous influence on human history.
Quantum fluctuations is basically true randomness on quantum level.
The randomness is largely canceled out, except in the case of unstable systems which magnify the effects of any perturbations, no matter how small.
I find this kinda similar to moderation on Reddit and 4chan for example, maybe a bit less bad. Here you have transparency with mandatory reasons for every action, and there you can get banned for anything including moderator’s bad mood, but the big difference is: they don’t even have to explain their decisions and 4chan even has a rule like “you are not allowed to discuss moderators and moderation”. But the real deal breaker here is that you can simply avoid instances with that kind of thing going on: register on another instance and prioritize communities from other instances - and you’re mostly out of reach of those mods and any of their moderation actions. I escaped from lemmy.world
in the first two weeks. Still subscribed to some communities there, but mostly in a passive way and prefer to participate in alternatives.
If you go back in time, you are just going to do what you already did because that is in the past.
Only if the Universe is deterministic. If not, random rolls having different outcomes may completely change the course of events and decisions made by people.
Edit: I see I’m being downvoted, so I’ll explain further, if the Universe is deterministic means everything will be the same any time you relive the same time segment, if not, it means even the weather can be different due to aggregation of butterfly effect of different random outcomes in the Universe, and weather being different is already big enough change to be able to influence decisions and course of events. And I’m not meaning weather in the exact same spot you time-traveled to. Even if you restored the exact same state of Universe at some snapshot, if the Universe isn’t deterministic, various random events happening after that point in time can have different outcomes which will aggregate and lead to even more different outcomes in future. Weather might be different the next day and because of that you decided to hide from rain in cafe and met someone there which can completely change your life.
Probably something like attractor field theory from Steins;Gate. In my view it’s basically timelines with a bit of topological though thrown on it to combine closely related timelines into bundles, similar to some algebraic topology concepts I guess.
Try to find a Lemmy instance that aligns with what you seek, register there, create a community. Your current one -
lemmy.world
- might be one of the worst choices for what you ask since it has heavy/biased moderation and a lot of moderation drama.
