And yeah, when you give a company license to do whatever they want with your data, “whatever they want” includes AI.
I think an important point is that with the decline of Pinterest's popularity, most of their data was probably acquired many years before genAI became mainstream. (Like I think I only used it around 2008-2010.) So most users probably never imagined their data could be used for training like this in the future.
Yeah, it's definitely YMMV. Also I read that minoxidil is only good for hair loss in the back, not for receding hairline. I was using it for almost a decade before I switched to a buzz cut, then shaved it all off. Unfortunately my hair loss was primarily in the front, so I'm not sure minoxidil ever did much.
(Fellow trans person btw, though I haven't tried to use it before testosterone started kicking my hairline the way my genetics were pointing 😅️)
I used Ecosia for a few months last year, but it really struggled with more niche topics and searches in Hungarian. Also it kept re-enabling the AI search every other day, no matter how many times I disabled it. So in the end I switched to noai.duckduckgo.
Also I'm vaguely pissed that Musk considers Iain Banks his favourite author while managing to completely misunderstand the Culture's values. He even named his droneships after characters from the books 🤢
Tbh I was conservative with that 80%. I'm a very private and introverted person, being the social butterfly of a group is just exhausting, esp. when there's clearly no interest from others 🤷
I tried for a few months (invited a bunch of neighbours who didn't know the group existed and so tripled its size), but people are extremely passive and unengaged. I don't want 80% of group activity to be me 😅

lol I read that as "Trump isn’t shaving him this time?" and wondered when that happened before 😂️
as someone in the same boat, 💯️ agreed

yeah, this is what usually makes me redo the search with google (and/or liberally use double quotes)
I know multiple people like this, but it's such an alien mindset to me xD
I only ever keep stuff in my inbox that I'm not done dealing with, everything else gets archived in its appropriate category 🤓️
The article doesn't load images for me, so here's the photo from an archived copy:

with these colours my brain focuses on the highest contrast from the bg = white, and skips the rest 🫠
Sadly the screaming in our case was apparently attempted rape during a party 😬

this was hilarious 🤣 (never heard about that original jerk-off reaction either, fortunately it wasn't a thing in Hungary)
nice!
Is this a hot country or the bidet uses heated water? I shudder at the thought of freezing my asshole with the cold water we get in Scotland.
I'm glad youtube now has a warning like this.
thanks 😊
