    Lateness is not a moral failing, and punishment for it is systematic oppression
  • I think it is something more of an ego thing. I never was in this position but many people explained to me that they feel offended if I am late.
    I only feel annoyed in such situation that I have to wait and can’t do anything before the person arrives. Being so often late myself I don’t think I could be truly angry though.

    Sorry I didn’t read it but I have adhd and it would be ableist to expect me to /s?

    God you guys really can make a super long comments have you thought of me? How do I feel seeing such a long wall of text and being excluded from discussion? /s

    All in all I won’t feel guilty for being late but I won’t feel entitled either. It’s my fault but it’s pointless to feel guilty if it happened. Not good for your mental health. Generally guilt is counterproductive and entitlement is weird.
    I try to not be late but if it happens it happens.

    A man is seen climbing the Eiffel Tower, prompting an evacuation hours before closing ceremony
  • It’s the adult version of horror movies I guess. I must say that I haven’t felt true fear in a long long time. That’s good, great even but I imagine for some crazy people it may elicit this sort of response. The fear is a strong emotion that makes you feel alive. Without regularly supplying it it’s all sort of dull.

    So as you go and conquer all your fears step by step the final challenge looks dumb and suicidal and it kind of is, that’s the point.

  • Kinda popular sport lately. There was that person from Poland climbing skyscrapers all over the world without any safety. I think they are still alive even.

    Eiffel Tower looks easier to climb than a glass tower but I could be super wrong

    It’s the End of the Web as We Know It
  • So again deleted my comment accidentally omg. I very like this idea. It’s burdensome but every phone already has simillar scanner. I wonder about privacy though. Can it be anonymised like monero?

    I imagine it as an optional feature and then verified people can opt in to only show other verified humans in some kind of next gen web similar to fediverse. Then two layers form naturally one of verified humans and the good old internet Wild West.

  • Yeah it is very difficult problem, fun stuff

    I’d give a lot to reap the fame of the one who solves it but haha I am well below the skill level

  • I think there needs to be a verification process to get on blockchain. Some kind of reputation system maybe

    Akin to certificates. Problem is poisoning though or other manipulation. It will be really fun problem to solve

    China: Minorities accounting for 1% of total population make up 34% of prison inmates
  • Yesterday I have been arguing way too long with someone that was convinced the snipers on Ohio protests are here to shoot protesters. I still failed to talk some sense into them and stopped eventually but it was exhausting.

    I don’t think they were alone in this as the post had thousands of likes and some wanted to throw pipebombs and this kinda stuff

  • I wonder if the nft tech could be used to mark everything real with a proof of authenticity. Then those things that aren’t on the chain would be considered suspicious and you would have automated green border around any content that is authentic and red for the outside of the blockchain

    Popular social media apps TikTok and Instagram use AI to analyze photos on your phone, introducing both bias and errors
  • I know that we all want to enjoy things and don’t live in fear like rats but keeping your pics online nowadays is not a good move. Though I guess if they are already there it’s kinda too late probably?

  • The AI will become utter garbage, mark my words. It will complete the downfall of the internet though first. What will come after internet? Hard to say maybe we will exchange culture in VR? Probably at some point every kind of forum will be unreadable from automated marketing and propaganda. Reddit already is. Lemmy is too small… yet but it will crash even harder if it is noticed by the wrong people. 2 years tops to enjoy this medium

    Though I admit I am somewhat of a doomer inclined so maybe there is a way to create alternative that cannot be poisoned

    Dissapointed in Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller
  • Unfortunately so much stuff on the web is astroturfed it’s hard to form a good opinion nowadays.

    Even the products reviews or maybe especially these it’s hard to tell what is true nowadays and what is fiction or misinfo

    Id love to brush it off and say eh just paranoid but there’s real money and motive.

    Reddit was relatively good for some time but then I heard it’s already full of marketing

    how's your week going, Beehaw
  • As always - extreme. 5/7 days I feel like a god(dess?) and other 2 like something slimy at the bottom of the barrel. Today is one of the worse so I need to watch myself to not say something stupid and not be a complete troll menace but if I survive then in 2 days I come back again with boundless love for the world yay.

    Hard to get used to this rollercoaster sometimes I just need to not use any social media in those 2 days but always fail haha

    Also bought whole apple lineup watch, phone, laptop, ipad, airpods this week suddenly because now I am an apple fangirl.

    But it made sense right, I wanted to use google comfy life easier making features but didn’t want to give up my privacy or install some graphene os madness that would make life just harder
