I hate AI, but still use it from time to time when 3+ searches would yield no result, or I am already quite adapt to a topic and just want some stupid research work done by a web scraper tool, or when searching on brave search and I just search for a command in bash or something like that on a topic where I don’t currently want to learn (maybe because of a deadline). I am inpatient at the moment, pressed for time and still want to try new things. It’s a faster search engine for me right now because search engines and wesites became infested with SEO, bots and AI slop, at least I get to control the answers a bit better

Please don’t make us visit twitter. Windscribe makes some transphobic statement in that tweet.

Wanted to say I will move to ivpn when mullvad runs out, but seems like the whole comment section already agrees on airvpn and ivpn

It really depends on your commitment to learning. As a side hobby 10 minute commitment while commuting – yea its a great idea. But with the goal to actually learn the languague it is not. Premade decks are like duolingo or like learning vocabs in the school, sometimes a bit useless and not really what interests you.

For me the deck that I use right now is kinda nice and I enjoy it. It focuses on vibes more than completness in hello-goodbye styled topics. Like a few cards about teineigo and conjugations of it to get a feel about it and then it moves on. But yea I am not much into languague learning and I would say it is a huge part to creating the deck after your needs. I just learn for a few minutes a day and have long breaks, its not my priority to actually learn japanese I only want some knowledge to understand anime better and it does work.

It can be a good starting point. Learn a fun deck and when you’ve done that and you are at a stage where you can comprehend enough, then you can make the effort for the extra vocabs that you encounter yourself. Altough I have found a lot of stock-audio-file decks that are boring af, so I am not sure if I’d recommend if I didn’t have that japanese anime deck.

Or just use Anki, youtube (videos in target language) and free online resources and a good novel and a bit of discipline and effort.

First of, there are a ton of great language learning videos on youtube geared for each specific language, showing their journey and tools. Most boil down to these mentioned above

There are alot of great free anki decks for vocabulary when you are too lazy to prepare them yourself. I use one for japanese made from anime lines, you learn phrases said in actual media which is nice, sometimes there are some grammar rules explained if needed. I’d suggest to make an effort yourself and watch media, take a word or sentence, cut it out with some software to a short soundfile, add it to anki., sync to your phone. The extra effort stage of finding and translating a line is worth alot. Then you have the spaced repitition from anki. But as I said, just use a premade deck instead if you are too lazy for the software setup.

I am kinda glad, I had a mindset shift at like 17 to just live to entertain myself and after that I found some neurodivergent folks at my school at the time and had the time of my life. Before that were some major depressions and social circles that didn’t enjoy my presence (and I didn’t enjoy theirs too!). It makes a huge difference if there are people near you who do vocal stimming with you lmao

You are just able to say that because you spend 100+$ on the pre-installed OS. You could also spend the same amount for an IT person to install you linux and then have a very stable time anyways. Linux doesn’t force you to update, if something breaks you don’t need to interact with it. On many distros there are system backups preconfigured, if something breaks you can roll back pretty easily. There is a trade-off, ease of use and ease of fix. Linux is way easier to use, thanks to no bloat and package manager, but slightly harder to fix when a problem occurs, because you have to interact with the system. And to be honest, the system isn’t as scary. Documentation is often enough, but if you are lazy and want the fix currated there is AI to help you.

I have seasonal mood shifts which could be adhd related. I am not too sure because alot of my lack of energy came from wrong nutrition and migraine + brain fog and I finally found something that helps. Its fresh food. I have tyramine intolerance I think and my energy levels increased a lot. I think there was a correlation between migraine, adhd, parkinson and depression, so look into it and maybe try a diet for 1-2 weeks? Its annoying af because like no beans, cheese, sausage nor processed foods leave little protein except fresh meat. Also vitamine d the whole year.

Ironically I switched off of ddg to brave search because I wanted to block more than 5 AI embracing websites. I haven’t yet tested it thoroughly yet because AI overviews were quite helpful the last month for syntax questions and that were all my searches, but now I want (and am able) to test brave search without AI and with weights to curate my search.

But what is the context? Are they 15-30% up on calories because of their intake, do they just eat too much? What about other countries, what about a normal diet, what is a normal diet?

That floor is not meant to be in a bath tho

That is what I based my statement on. Cachy has consistently 1000 more page hits compared to mint.

Isn’t mint the most used distro after like catchyos?

My hands would always be covered in ink because i was fidgeting with my pen, most of the time pressing the mine into my skin. I wouldn’t even realise it, I always just wondered when I’d paint my hands haha

I stopped bouncing my leg and started swinging, i stopped swinging and started doodling, i stopped doodling and started fidgeting with a pen. I stopped because I found those things annoying myself lol

Me when I don’t eat any fruits because they are in the refrigerator

I’d say seperate places them by topic. All my study related things are in one app on my laptop, organization stuff in my phone calender. It helps so that I don’t grow tired of one system / the system doesn’t feel too cluttered, so it won’t fade into background noise. Everything has an alarm? Snooze 'em all! Write everything into that one app? Ain’t finding shit again and too tired to write everything in there, too much effort. The last thing for chores and workout is: make a habit out of it, maybe set a daily alarm if it helps you and do it, just starting is fine at the beginning, but make it a habit

“Our healthcare system isnt broken. Its a business model” If anything the em dash in that second sentence makes it seem more human, because its a double “it’s not this – it’s that”-ism. I don’t care if the text is AI written or not but that style of communicating is not normal – its AI.

Why tf is he talking AI

Back in the day there where only 10 months and later for some reason to make it better cycle with the moon or something they introduced january and february as the 11th and 12th month, or direclty as the first and second idk the exact history of this
