As I've said elsewhere, I'm a little older. I hear a lot about AI. I'm just trying to figure out what's "good" AI, what's "bad" and if there's even a difference. I do know that there's the whole stealing content to train AI bs going on, but is it deeper? Is there such a thing as good AI? Just trying to learn so I can be better person

I'm over 50 and all I know about Linux is it's mascot is a penguin and I think it has something to do with programming. But I'm trying to learn, do new things, and reinvent myself. Where/how should I go about learning? Or at this stage, should I even bother? I do want to learn, tho

Now the season of changing to summer tires are here, what is your experience and knowledge? Anyone had issues with it?

Lube and reduced torque or dry and recomended torque?

I want to travel the world doing food challenges at restaurants

I'm not a political person but I've noticed that for example Reddit has a more left leaning moderation in comparison to what X (Twitter) is.

For example, if someone does hate speech against LGBT people on X and you report them the moderation team will tell you that the content didn't break the rules and guidelines, but if you as an LGBT person answer to the homophobic conservatives with the same energy you'll get a 24 hours suspension from posting or interacting.

I've personally experienced this many times and it's making me so annoyed specially since there's huge accounts on X that are dedicated to spread extreme hate even wishing death on other people.

I've heard that EU citizens are doing a boycott on US travel due to horror stories of people being detained despite them having a strong passport (and yes, there was a case where a Norwegian guy was deported for having memes teasing Vance).

Also, there's boycott of products that are "made in USA" rather relying on stuff made in their own countries as a indirect protest against US corporations who export their products abroad. However, can the same done with refusing to buy US Dollars?

What does that mean for how we communicate and consume content? Do you expect continous word salads instead of interviews, comedy sketches etc. Would modern era people accept that?

I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

I recently discovered the Banana Ball exhibition baseball games, and their custom ruleset, featuring limitations, crowd participation mechanics and special roles among other things.

This reminded me of (and it's an derivative game rather than an alternate ruleset) Three-Sided Football, which, among other things, is a Situationist, philosophical and sociological rabbit-hole.

I also recall dark chess, a chess variant with line-of-sight mechanics, to emulate the fog of war. There are thousands of chess variants stretching back a thousand years, this is just one of the first I learned of which really interested me.

Recently I used to tidy up my pile with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarks-clean-up/

But still there about 800+ websites, articles to go. If I put it to AI, my token number will flush away. Whats your routine or recommendation?

Are the spreading trend of warehouse fires in USA lately adventurism or something more? Is it inspiring revolutionary thinking in the masses? Or will it just be used to justify crushing us further?

For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

Almost every time I fly somewhere, I get sick, and it kinda ruins every vacation ever. I’m not sure if it’s the germs on the airplane (causation), or the time zone difference affecting my sleep (correlation). Maybe a combination of both? Last trip, it hit me about 3 days in.

I wouldn’t say my drinking/sleeping habits are that different on vacation compared to my regular life. Is this a common thing people experience, or time to see a doctor?

I desperately wanna enjoy a vacation sickness free and then return to work refreshed instead of sick.

Commonly heard in the crime genre that involves money laundering, as most would hide their stash over there either in actual cash or digital monetary transfers. It's only an island nation within the Caribbean, the thing is: why is it treated like a Swiss Bank of some sort? As in, either elites or those on the run would hide their funds in Cayman Islands.

Title.

Summer is in full power here in Kerala, India. Concrete radiating heat and rooms are hot even at night.

Have seen people mention things like blackout curtains, reflective or white paint on the roof etc.

Have upped hydration and am now sleeping with windows open, with a mat on the floor.

What all things do the people in your locality do? Or if you have any specific insight into cost-effective techniques or so, could you kindly share them?

Thanks in advance

I've never seen anyone else do this either irl or in a video but I'm sure lots of people do it. When I make a grilled cheese I mayo both slices then put both slices in the pan at the same time rather than stacked in sandwich form so it takes half the time to cook and I don't need to flip it.

I want to upload multiple images within one post. Is that possible to do using Lemmy?

Instead of making one post for every individual picture, it's easier to have multiple pictures in one post. Hence why I ask for some guidance if there is any.

Despite it being a stronger currency, is it exchangeable in the United States for dollars? Would that mean I'll be getting more in dollars due to that having high value? Also, why is the Swiss Franc more colorful in its appearance while US Dollars look rather bland in comparison? To break down each denomination's value:

Meanwhile, the value of US Dollar is lower in comparison to the Franc:

The lowest bill denomination is Fr. 10 (or $12) so anything below that is issued in coins. But, the real indicator is the Big Mac Index: for instance, the burger in Swiss McDonalds is Fr. 7.30 ($8) with VAT included while the same thing is $5.79 (before tax) in the USA meaning you have to pay more for the same item.

However the mininum wage in Geneva (with a population bit less than Scotsdale or Boise) alone is Fr. 24.59 ($31.40) per hour, while the minimum wage in let's say Seattle is $20.76 per hour so technically, the Swiss have more money. Just because of their currency's value, it makes US Dollar look cheap.

First of all. This is not an insult to the web developers. I live in Nepal where most of the job vacancies are for fronted/backend developers. Even through referees I only get web dev related roles for intern. Every path leads to rome here.

I have no other interests except linux, scripting and web scraping and that's a big problem. I really have no idea what I should learn or make. I am in my final year and I am feeling this sense of urgency which is annoying and overwhelming.

What should I do? I want to learn about Linux and OSes in depth but I also need to be employable. Also, after getting a job how do you learn new things. Since your job will be taking a huge chunk of your time. Education is a scam and I am a removed.
