I don’t think phone makers are that close to ad companies

Google?

Yeah, LLMs could really help. Other tools without AI are also helpful. The problem with all those companies is that they don’t want to do moderating for the public good at all. Reddit could kill a lot of Fake News on it’s platform, prevent reposts of revenge porn or kick idiots just by implementing a few rules. They don’t want to

Yeah, high-res video will eat those TB quick. I started to clean up my collection - if something really was not good, I stopped watching or lost interest, it goes into the bin. Collecting is great, but there is no reason to keep some mediocre Netflix shovelware around that was canceled after one season.

Digital Packratting is the antithesis of this trend. It requires intentional curation, because you’re limited by the amount of free space on your media server and devices—and the amount of space in your home you’re willing to devote to this crazy endeavor. Every collection becomes deeply personal, and that’s beautiful. It reminds me of when I was in college and everyone in my dorm was sharing their iTunes music libraries on the local network. I discovered so many new artists by opening up that ugly app and simply browsing through my neighbors’ collections. I even made some new friends. Mix CDs were exchanged, and browsing through unfamiliar microgenres felt like falling down a rabbit hole into a new world.

I’m really not sure here - that was true back in the days. But today? Just buy a 5TB harddrive for ~130€ and you can save several years of music there. And that part about “devoting space”? A raspberry pi with an external 2,5" hard drive is cheap and does take the space of one book or less than one shoe. Modern tech is amazing.

Just for information: We know, from multiple studies, that working more than 40 hours a week for longer periods of time is extremly unhealthy for you. A week has 24*7 = 168 hours and you should sleep 8 hours. That are 56 hours and if you’re working 60 hours, that leaves you with 52 hours or 7,5 hours per day for stuff like “commuting to work”, “buying groceries”, “brushing your teeth” , “family”, “friends”, “sport” or “this important appointment at the dentist”.

And that 7,5 hours are without a weekend. This will kill you. You might be younger and feel strong, but this will kill you.

It’s amazing how they fumbled this. There was a time when video calls were Skype. Everybody was using Skype, everybody had it installed, people used it to chat and then … something happened. Microsoft did nothing. Or did the wrong kind of stuff. Software started to suck. And when the pandemic came, Zoom took over and nobody even tried to use Skype. That really, really are some bad business decisions there
