  • “Legal” doesn’t immediately mean “moral”. Everything is legal as long as there isn’t a law specifically banning it, and those laws often only get created as a result of someone abusing their legal right to something.

    Google collects also way more data than you pointed out, in every avenue possible. Ever solved a captcha? You likely helped Google train their image recognition AI. Got an android smartphone (a brand that previously had committed itself to being open-source and linux based)? Have fun with pre-installed unremovable Google Spyware. You’re forced to create a GMail account to interact with the whole App ecosystem of the market.
    Google can remotely (without your consent) download and delete apps on your smartphone, read your personal data (including stuff you have saved on your SD card) and accesses your camera, pictures and GPS-Data regularly.

    I just read an article to prepare for writing this comment and feel actually sick now, I wanna jump ship and get an independent OS, screw the AppStore…







  • This is only the pilot and they’re trying to get the series greenlit.

    Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
    But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that’s just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

    Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

    So this animation randomly exploded and made it’s way onto my frontpage.

    I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I’d share it with the fediverse.

    To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called “Glitch” and the creator called “Gooseworx” had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!



  • Personally, I block anything related to news&politics on the fediverse (same on reddit).

    Humans have a structural problem with any system that allows voting on the visibility of headlines. It encourages outrage, populism, attention grabbing headlines while discouraging more refined factual discussions. Kinda like tabloid journalism.
    Reddit has the same problem and way worse, but with enough time it will happen here too.

    Most users read the headline before giving their own opinion, not many take their time to read a majority of other comments and the least amount of users actually read the linked article (which is to be honest also often the fault of the quality of an article, i.e. being too long, boring and partially ai-generated).

    This results in the most lukewarm most agreeable opinions being top comments, while they’re also oftentimes being uninformed.

    This is just what I gathered from my own personal experience with social media, I don’t have any good sources to back up my claims.



  • Actually the old Moderna was having such a harsh reaction on younger people, Germany changed their recommendations to not allow anyone younger than 60 to get moderna.

    I also had Moderna back then once and can only confirm, it knocked me completely out for a whole day with harsh fever like symptoms, really wasn’t fun.

    Haven’t really been vaccinated for a year now, so can’t talk about the new moderna.

    I don’t like the way this question is framed. It implies that IQ is a meaningful indicator of intelligence as well as that intelligence can be generalized and measured accurately. In truth, it can’t.

    While there exists a certain correlation between measured IQ and academic success, these things can always explained via different factors as well, for instance the amount care that your parents put into how well you do academicallg early on in life, shaping your values, beliefs and personality. Someone whose parents put effort into making sure they did well at school will probably also care more for taking such an IQ test seriously as well as have academic success. Do note, that there is only little correlation between IQ and later levels of income in their line of work.

    To go back to the actual question, you cope with it by realizing that intelligence is a diverse and complex concept, where different people do well on different things. While you might certainly have a domain where you are objectively “better” at than someone else (measured in some way), this does not mean you are objectively better at every domain. By realizing these personal strengths and personal weaknesses we can overcome them by working in a field where we are best at and learn from others at fields they are better at in order to become a better person all around.

    Humble yourself and never forget that your own personal experience shouldn’t be the gold standard for everyone else. They have their own values and beliefs backed up by their own experience.
