I hope some day AI will be incorporated into a podcast player to be able to know the difference between an add and the podcast and automatically skip all adds. Finally, there would be a good use for AI :)

Project yourself 20 years into the future. Imagine yourself saying this to present day you. Then act on that advice. Much of these suggestions can apply to anyone at almost any age.

It’s okay since I only buy games on sale … oh wait, that doesn’t matter as they still sit unplayed. Never mind.

This is where we could use a browser plug in that uses AI to learn what an ad is and skip it for us. Now we just need someone to start working on it.

Next they will be using your web cam to take pictures of you because … reasons. Then they will turn on your mic and record so that if you verbalize thoughts that don’t make it to your computer screen you can recall those too. Where does it end? I don’t want to know.

RSS (RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) It is in use a fair amount, but it is usually buried. Many people don’t know it exists and because of that I am afraid it will one day go away.

I find it a great simple way to stay up to date across multiple web sites the way I want to (on my terms, not theirs) By the way, it works on Lemmy to :)

Here is information about it

People need to stop thinking about Republicans vs. Democrats and starting think in terms of people vs. the government. We might be able to make positive change if we united.

My original response (below) was posted to the wrong post. Duh … me. Please ignore.

"The company said any fluctuations it decides to test in the future “would be designed to benefit our customers and restaurant crew members.” " How sweet. They’re doing it for us. What a bunch of BS.

Remember when MTV first started and didnt have adds and only player music vidsos?

I should have mentioned, I am running the Flatpak version of Firefox on Kubuntu 23.10

Where in KDE are those settings? I see Flatpak permissions listed in Discover (bottom of right panel,) but you can’t change them there. Not sure where else to look. I’ve been using Flatseal but if it isn’t needed …

That sorts on the comments of all posts, not just the ones I am interested in.

The ability to “subscribe” to a thread so you could be told when anyone adds to the thread. I don’t understand how people follow a thread without this. You would have to constantly be going back to it (over and over) to seeing if anything was added.

I always wondered how bragging about how long you worked was considered by some as a good thing. The “higher ups” must have used some fancy tricks to get people to think that way. It never worked on me though :)

If you are using Ubuntu, they have live patch available. You have to sign up for Ubuntu Pro, but that is free for individuals. I just heard about this and haven’t tried it yet https://ubuntu.com/security/livepatch

MX Linux only because I have it on some very old 32 bit laptops and it supports 32 bit. I don’t really know why I keep those laptops around but they are functional.
