Back in school, we would ask others if they were going to the gym. Then someone seemed to have their ego lifted by the question, we would say that we asked because it does, indeed, doesn’t look like so.

It took me some time to finally leave reddit too. I deleted my account, but had this weird feeling of missing something, so I eventually created another. The thing is like a drug, and I believe all the big social media works the same.

When I went back there after stopping for some time, I could realize how terrible some communities can be, how it was making me feel more depressed and angry, and how I was wasting time from my life in there.

Then I deleted it for good, and filled that void with other things, both online and offline. Now I feel much better. One could argue that lemmy is just another social media, but it’s different. it’s not designed to keep us glued to the screen and have drug effects.

We see those jokes around, but I have seen a guy in real life that keeps SEVERAL tabs open and uses it as some sort of storage. He does that and then goes into every tech conversation to say that 16gb is “absolutely trash” nowadays, and that we need like at least 64gb. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

He also does everything online while logged in on google and on every online service possible. Looking at his browser giver me some unexplainable agony.

Cashew juice is very tasty and it’s quite popular here in brazil. It also has medicinal properties for when you have diarrhea.

Why zero chance?

doesn’t dir aready do the same as ls?

Digital Video Download

Then maybe just upload them all in a compressed file to archive.org and just post the link?

Don’t let them die. Make a lemmy community for demotivational memes and post them! I, for one, would be curious to browse them and probably spend more time than previously expected while doing that.

ditching big tech reliance.

This is the real protest!

Thanks for your kind message. Fear of embarrassment is really something that holds us back

I don’t use self checkout because I’m afraid of messing up something and getting judged by people :(

People around here seem so scared of south america. It’s mostly a nice place to live.

I guess the main difference in all those activities is when doing something for yourself, as a hobby or relaxing activity, or when doing something as an obligation, or even worse, doing something for others. Even something like drawing can become terrible if you have to stress yourself, follow someone’s orders instead of your own style, and have to do it fast to meet some deadline.

People keep telling us that ai energy use is very low, but at the same time, companies keep building more and more giant power hungry datacenters. Something simply doesn’t add up.

Sure, a small local model can generate text at low power usage, but how useful will that text be, and how many people will actually use it? What I see is people constantly moving to the newest, greatest model, and using it for more and more things, processing more and more tokens. Always more and more.

Metaphorically, I live in a came I’m sort of a caveman

I just get late, don’t care anymore

Well… with streaming services people don’t actually have anything, because nothing in there is theirs to own ;)

Hope you’re enjoying the freedom, fellow FOSSer :)
