Cyber attacks and hybrid attacks have already occurred, and the risk of a full blown invasion increases. Should I be worried? Maybe I should ask Ukrainians how they’re handling these troubling times.

So, what’s on your mind these days? Talking about it might help.

Currently it’s at 2:48, but I’m planning to double that by watching a bunch of videos before bedtime.

Are there other ways I could violate the recommendations?

I thought enjoying it was as common as being able to breathe air or drink water. Apparently not. Maybe there are lots of people like this, and we never knew.

Have you considered making an AMA? There are so many questions already brewing.

Sounds truly exceptional. Other people don’t consider it uncomfortable at all.

That seems like a fair way to fund game development. I wish more companies chose this path.

How about lootboxes, battle passes and other predatory tactics used in many modern games? Sure, you can have those elements for those people who like them, but if your entire game is all about psychological manipulation tools, you’ve gone too far. Maybe some people like to roll the dice every now and then, but that shouldn’t be the main point of the game. You should also be given an option to enjoy the game without being exposed to extreme levels of toxic design.

Nice. USB PPS sounds pretty sweet. I better look into that.

Laughter is also highly contagious, so you better watch out. There have been reports of entire office floors and classrooms succumbing to uncontrollable fits of giggles, causing productivity rates to plummet. In some cases, the laughter epidemic has spread across neighborhoods, turning typically stoic morning commutes into a cacophony of chuckles and snorts. Health authorities are advising to limit exposure to particularly humorous individuals and to steer clear of gatherings where a particularly irrisponsible individual stands on stage aiming to infect everyone in the audience with a severe case of laughter.

However, there is once case, where the extremes are bad, and hitting the sweet spot is good: temperature.

For example, this graph shows that charging in very cold and very hot will kill your battery faster. If you stay in the middle, you’ll get the maximum number of cycles possible before the battery eventually dies.

Those C-values are the charging rate. 1 C = normal, 2 C = very fast 3 C = crazy fast.

Are you saying that when the charger handles the conversions, it will also produce waste heat in the process? If so, the total amount of energy lost due to conversions should stay the same, but the physical location where the heat is generated is different. That would be pretty nice for the battery longevity.

Oh, absolutely! If you find that a particular FOSS project deserves your money, you really should donate.

I’ve found that LLMs can help you with refining incoherent ramblings into understandable questions. Even if you don’t know what words to use or how to ask something, it still somehow works anyway.

Just try dumping a wall of text on an LLM of your choice, and see what happens. You may need to have a proper conversation with the LLM to get what you’re really after, so don’t expect the first answer to be the final one.

Ad-blocking. Install uBlock Origin on your Firefox and enjoy the internet.

Hmm. I guess there is a category that isn’t entirely premeditated and intentional, nor is it a freak accident either. It’s sort of like an accident, but it’s caused be reckless stupidity, as opposed to something beyond your control.

As people have noticed, there are lots of reckless decisions that can ruin your life. I guess that fits the description of what OP was looking for.

But doesn’t that count as an accident? Kids who play with fireworks don’t cram a steel can full of black powder imagining how cool it would be to loose your fingers and eyes.

Oh, that’s interesting. Lucky you, I guess. The algorithms have been tuned to be as engaging as possible, and that seems to be working for most people. Obviously, it’s impossible to make it work for literally everyone, and you seem to be one of the few who can escape the algorithm.

The lack of an algorithm is a solution. Social media tends to be too addictive to the point it can be harmful to humans, so Mastodon was intentionally designed to be less addictive.

You can also use uBlock origin for that. You just need to make custom filter, and use GPT to figure out exactly what kind of code to write in that box. Different sites call their headlines with different names, so it may require some tweaking.

This problem has already been solved by content filtering. You can make your own filtering system, or you can just use a browser plugin like the famous Make The Internet Great Again which filters out all Trump related News articles.
