We’ve crossed the point where natural skepticism could’ve saved us months ago. Feedback loops of made up sources where a problem way before ai was a thing, but now you can be five sources deep, reading trough papers published by multiple different scientific magazines or universities, and still won’t have found the actual data all the papers depend on cause there wasn’t any in the first place.

And once a single one of these papers gets published, there will be about one million SEO articles on shitty clickbait websites that, in this case, would try to sell you a home remedy for your supposed illness. So searching for any useful information is pretty much off the table.

Yeah, seems like it, my bad.

In the article she is called Osmanovic Thunström twice, which definetly sounds male, but further up they also wrote her first name Almira. Kinda skimmed over that part.

The studies contain parts like

Bixonimania, a rare hyperpigmentation disorder, presents a diagnostic challenge due to its unique presentation and its fictional nature

and

This study was fully funded by Austeria Horizon University, in particular the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation for its work in advanced trickery. This works is a part of a larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad with the funding number…

as well as

Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group

Any human actively reading those studies would notice something off.

Besides, the author didn’t feed it to the AI himself, he just published the study as a preprint, not even officially. Everything after that was done by the crawlers. This specific study was an experiment to see how far these crawlers go and if anything gets reviewed, but it could just as well have been a satirical paper published on April 1st and the crawlers would still see it as truth.

That depends on your definition of private.

A push notification is pretty much just a ping that wakes up the app that is supposed to show you the notification. There usually isnt much data in that ping, so the only thing the Google firebase servers (or whatever other backend solution you use) see is a timestamp and an app. If you then disable Notification historie (default is off bzw on GraphenOS) there is no other data stored anywhere.

That’s metadata that every single chat service has, no matter if its E2EE or not, because that’s the bare minimum they need to transmit anything at all. If that already isn’t private for you then you’d have to stop using the internet or phonecalls entirely and go back to carrier pidgeons.

If I’m not completely wrong that picture is from the uncensored library, a massive project that allows users to search most of Annas archive in Minecraft. Its used to circumvent state censorship and allows for freer access to knowledge.

At this point I trust russia more than the US. Even a few months ago there at least was the semblance of a democratic system left, but by now its clear that the US is a dictatorship in all but name.

The things Putin does at least make sense from an imperialistic point of view, but trump is a literal toddler throwing a different tantrum each hour.

Both can rot in the deepest parts of hell as far as I’m concerned though.

Speaking from experience, windows will gladly uninstall the linux bootloader without mistakes or errors involved. Pretty sure that’s just what a successful update is for microslop.

Hazelnuts have ~60℅ fat, so that spread is still 35% suagr and 35% fat overall. Definetly better than the added palm oil in in nutella, but the health difference is pretty minor.

I’m fact if we go by calories per serving, yours should be worse since fat is more energy dense than sugar.

(But yes, the taste is definetly better and I would much rather have that at least contains mainly hazelnuts)

Hazelnuts have about 4-5% sugar in them, so it maths out perfectly to 100% total with 30% added sugar.

You also dont own your individual copy, just like with any other installer you merely have the license to use it which can be revoked anytime.

You can just copy the installer and send it to them, so functionally it works. What you can’t do is transfer the license which means legaly no just as the comment said.

Windows was consuming loads of my download data, fuck knows what for.

Background updates of all the minor services running. I only had 360kbit/s for a while two years ago and windows could take a few hours until it was finished. You usually don’t notice it but I literally couldn’t use the internet until windows decided it was done.

Impeding the flow of traffic (like driving too slow) is a finable offence in big parts of the first world countries. You are supposed to drive near the speed limit if the road and weather conditions allow for it. People that are to scared to do that on an open road should think about taking a few more driving lessons (and are in my opinion usually unfit to sit behind the wheel)

“Nationalize it” is easy to say, but I honestly think even Microsoft would do a better job with steam than the US government would.
