Britons are doing well so see past the Murdock media empire that envelopes them. But still not enough taking to the streets there (or here in my own country).

I know one study found that 51% of summaries that AI produced for them contained significant errors. So AI-summaries are bad news for anyone who hopes to be well informed. source https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0m17d8827ko

I migrated from Instapaper to Omnivore, which was open source and had Instapaper’s paid features. That was acquired by the parent company of ElevenReader and shut down, although the source code still exists for self-hosting. ElevenReader reads the articles but doesn’t have the highlighting and other useful features of Instapaper and Omnivore.

Indigenous people: saving the rest of us from ourselves.

Yes, the likes of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk have identified those characteristics as interfering with their dark ambitions. They seem to be behind the campaign to change hearts and minds for the worse.

There is definitely a serious societal problem. There is a parenting crisis leading to a peer-attachment crisis. And our communities reflect it. As another commenter mentioned, we need to relearn to have some empathy in our consciousness so we can provide healthy psychological attachments.

This has nothing to do with opinions and everything to do with facts.

Edit: I see someone made a similar reply at the same times as me. I didn’t mean to spam reply the same thing as someone else.

We really need to be more sceptical of celebrities, politicians - anybody in a position of influence. I remember thinking Obama and Biden seemed “wholesome”. Obviously, that’s an incredibly naive take, but it’s one that many of us are susceptible to as humans.

We are eager to find “gods”: people we can workship without the friction of scrutiny or criticism. It feels good - even blissful - to adore someone unconditionally. Whatever the mechanic, it would be great if we could identify it - delineate it - so we can recognise it and do the slightly tougher job of restraining our adoration of people in power.

We can still see them as humans and treat them with basic decency, but as long as masses of us fall under the spell of adoration we will continue to live in hell, or visit it on our neighbours.

Yes, valid commentary like yours gets silenced but not the hate speech from anonymous accounts. It’s frustrating. It’s likely that in your case though, the graphic language was caught by a filter. People have workarounds like that. For example, I see commenters used “unalived” instead of “killed”. Maybe you’ll have better look using creative language like that.

TikTok and their parent company have a lot to answer for. There are hoardes of abusive, anonymous accounts active on a daily basis. ByteDance don’t allow it to the same degree at all in China.

I understand completely. I’ve never been so angry (yet despairing). It’s the most depraved group I’ve ever learned of in my life and I don’t know if I’ll ever fully recover from the shock.

Oh, that changes things. Thank you! It’s great to have another solid option.

I do like the idea of a known, quality brand. Thanks for the rec.

I didn’t know Google made a game controller. Thanks for the rec, but I’m boycotting them too unfortunately.

Seriously considering this, thank you! I’ll update if I get it :)

I don’t have words for this. I don’t know how anyone can live life completely untouched by what has happened and is happening here.

The code is one thing. 300 skilled developers is another. Most of those could be full-time too.

Despite those choices, I’m not sure there were many other directions that could ever bring in the profits that Google does.
