GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight algorithm addictionEnglish382·4 months agoSaw this posted in a ADHD com a few days back. Every comment was just like “oh no…”. I opened it and like 20 minutes later realized, oh no. I can and have spent many entire days just reading Wikipedia and following linked subjects. So much so I run out in areas. I can’t handle a lot of visual and audio stimulation, short form content is such a nightmare for me, can’t watch it. But give me pages of the most dense info and I’m hooked. I just need the option to download every paper referenced from every Wikipedia page I visit.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open sourceEnglish16·8 months agoIt’s weird seeing how “the algorithm” has genuinely only made things worse. Falling into the YouTube rabbit hole was a thing, and it was entirely organic. From the loose connections of topics, you could start from any feel good funny video, and end in detailed documentary about MK Ultra.
The best algorithm was no algorithm and there’s no way of ever going back to that. I feel pretty lucky to have experienced the internet before it became everything.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With BotsEnglish3·9 months agoSo corporations use ai and bots themselves in order to inflate their stats and steal money from investors and share holders(see Reddit) and its all cool. Someone does that but it costs the corporation some money. Straight to jail.
Seriously, how has the reddit IPO which was offered to users not been a fraudulent scheme due to the website statistics being based on genuine user interaction with no mention of auto reposting or bots that are either operated by or hired by reddit?
It genuinely seems like the next ponzi scheme but that would require so many federal agencies that stopped giving shit and learning how the world works to see any peep into that business.
But what do I know, I’m just some average Joe that gets audited over a $300 mistake on annual taxs which I have to pay a private third party more than that to do.
Java feels like McDonald’s and python feels like a grocery store.
Rust feels like a femboi hooters where they offer IVs you don’t think they’re qualified to administer.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Reddit /r/piracy in turmoil as a mod caught taking bribes to promote postsEnglish1·11 months agoSame, there’s still plenty of room for growth but I don’t want it to ever pass like 2012 reddit level of activity, which was still a lot. But federation tech is also a solution if I ever feel that’s a problem so meh, come on over.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•"Maybe This is Too Cool" - After years of layoffs and pay/resource freezes, Amazon execs treat themselves to a private Foo Fighters concert worth millionsEnglish63·1 year agoLemmy skews heavy 30+ so most people here will never understand. But I’m right there with you.
The tickets you bought? Corporate Overlord sold 'em to you.
Never bought them, i can sneak into anything worth being at.
The tunes you bought? Corporate Overlord.
Never bought them other than physical copies direct from the label that only has 5 artists.
The venue you went to? Sponsored by a corporate overlord.
Never went, any “venue” I’ve been to was come and go.
The Beer you drank at the venue
Didn’t buy it, made and brought it.
the fucking merch you bought
Never bought it
hell, even the fucking parking fee you coughed up went to a corporation.
I go to venues through piblic transit so i can get intoxicated
You don’t get to enjoy music anymore without supporting corporate overlords.
I’ve been contributing to small fedi artists just because they’re small fedi artists.
You’re being an antagonistic asshole and you know it. And you use the term bootlicker incorrectly.
If you even want to talk about you insecurities that you project, I won’t offer myself because you already made up your mind about who I am before you finished reading this. Get help. Twat.

Dave’s got 330 million bananas and just got a few hundred thousand more. Hoarding is only bad when people I don’t like do it.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Comcast Unveils Peacock, Netflix, Apple TV+ Streaming BundleEnglish1·1 year agoTry happymaxxing and go play video games outside. We have the technology.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill WorksEnglish16·1 year agoI wonder what it feels like to lay down naked on this thing and have it spin you around.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android appEnglish0·1 year agoThey aren’t trying to have a conversation, they’re trying to convince themselves that the things they don’t understand are bad and they’re making the right choice by not using it. They’ll be the boomers that needed millennials to send emails for them. Been through that so I just pretend I don’t understand AI. I feel bad for the zoomers and genas that will be running AI and futilely trying to explain how easy it is. Its been a solid 150 years of extremely rapid invention and innovation of disruptive technology. But THIS is the one that actually won’t be disruptive.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Students Are Likely Writing Millions of Papers With AIEnglish7·1 year agoI have issue with using AI to write my resume. I just want it to clean up my grammar and maybe rephrase a few things just in a different way I wouldn’t because I don’t do the words real good. But I always end up with something that reads like I paid some influencer manager to write it. I write 90% of it myself so its all accurate and doesn’t have AI errors. But it’s just so obviously too good.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft reveals costs of Windows 10 end of life security update — and it might be more than you'd expectEnglish112·1 year agoReally? I had no idea.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft reveals costs of Windows 10 end of life security update — and it might be more than you'd expectEnglish318·1 year agoCompanies will fire whoever is <30 so the boomers can afford to keep using their precious Microsoft until they die(they cant/won’t retire).
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•‘Sexting’ with robots: How artificial intelligence will be able to ‘read’ our arousalEnglish1·1 year agoI’m working very hard on making fuckable toasters. I need to profit. Am I supposed to just abandon all this and fuck a human?
GluWu@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What Spotify to YouTube MP3 downloader for Android do you recommend?English4·1 year agoUsed to use spowlo, don’t know why I switched to soundbound but it works the same and gets good enough audio for my phone. Zotify on desktop.
GluWu@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Vinyl records outsell CDs for the second year runningEnglish2·1 year agoPublished 1989, posted on YouTube 17 yards ago:
The thing they all share is that they are deeply unloved. Trump, musk, bezos, zuck, none of them have healthy loving families. They have noons they can genuinely connect with. And they all think by having more money and being more popular will fulfill that human need. But it never does, so they just keep going not realizing the path they chose doesn’t end anywhere near what they desire. Money will never buy love and peace.
