Yeah I agree. We have to wake up a bit. Real change happens outside of this place.

We arent smarter. Actually most people here have no voice or influence outside of their computer screen.

We can use some tech, sure. But I very much challenge the idea that we are smarter as a group than other university students.

But since a lot of us have poor social skills, we compensate by thinking we are smarter or better, when we should instead train our social skills and stop thinking like that.

Edit: You meant they dont work to access things outside of China of course.

You cant ban vpns, its easy for tech people to set up a vpn server on any server on the internet and connect to it. Wireguard for example, super simple.

Yeah there are some differences. Flatpaks are not updated when you update your system but you can run the “flatpak update” command to update all your Flatpak apps at once.

After install, it should just work. :)

That can happen if you have an old version. Happened to me a few times also. It just means YouTube changed something so you need to update and see if its been fixed.

Go to freetubeapp.io and make sure you have installed the latest version which is 0.23.5 beta right now.

Yeah that would be the logical end game since companies have invested billions into this trend now.

They always care about us when they are losing money arent they…

Maybe, but then who will supply the answers that Ai needs?

Would love to but a lot of them have shut down now since people didnt buy them.

The larger problem that is not discussed so much is the amount of Ai generated garbage that is put on the web now.

When these Ai web crawlers start to read that Ai garbage as source data, the models will start to become worse and worse, and as a result, our Ai clients will start to get worse and worse.

I dont think there is a way for the crawlers to understand what is Ai generated fluff and crap. The reasons the Ai responses are so good now is because people actually posted these solutions on the web. What happens when Ai crap overflows the web so much that good answers are drowned out?

Also, no ads in chat gpt yet. Thats going to change and it will become impossible to block those.

They wont be happy until eye tracking technology makes sure we sit and watch their fucking ads before the actual content appears.

I mean, none of this is getting better. Its only going to become worse. I have ads in the fucking pause screen on my streaming tv app. So if I want to take a toilet break, I get an ad in my face. Its just so ridiculous.

Its actually not easy to run two of them since they are not designed for using a shared disk (you can get corrupted data). Its also not necessary, you can just leave the secondary dns server blank.

But if you want two because you want high availability in case one of your piholes goes down, you can rsync the settings between the two machines every 5 minutes or so. Its important to keep them in sync that way.

I switched to adguard home recently, much nicer user interface and I dont miss any features from pihole. :)

It will take another five seconds to find the same info using the web. Unless you also think we should censor the entire web and make it illegal to have any information about things that can hurt people, like knives, guns, stress, partners, cars…

People will not be stopped suiciding because a chat bot doesnt tell them the best way, unfortunately.

Sounds reasonable. The time and energy ive lost on trying very confident chat gpt suggestions that doesnt work must be weeks at this point.

Sometimes its very good though and really helps, which is why its so frustrating. You never know if its going to work before you go through the process.

It has changed how me and coworkers work now also. We just talk to chat gpt instead of even trying to look something up in the docs and trying to understand it. Too slow to do that now, it feels like. There is a pressure to solve anything quickly now that chat gpt exists.
