The chronic pain relief by itself was enough to keep me motivated. Asthma, joint pains (hypermobility sucks!), etc are now down to manageable levels – if not completely gone.

And yeah, I don't enjoy it and sometimes look for excuses to slack off. And right on cue, my knee pain starts flaring up after a couple weeks. Followed by the rest of the body.

Haha honestly I have no idea. I live near a train station so not a lot of opportunity to catch either taxis or uber..

Depends on where you are. In Australia most taxi companies have an app that works like uber. Shows you the route and a fixed price. And when a driver picks up your fare, it'll show you where they are.

You're a good friend. I wish everyone has someone like this. I have a very small group of mates where I can be vulnerable without being judged. But not everyone are as privileged, unfortunately...

No. But when the options are either:

  • Shitty friends who have better things to do than hearing you vent,
  • Paying $400/hr to talk to a psychologist, or
  • A free AI that not only pays attention to you, but actually remembers what you told them last week,

it's quite understandable that some people choose the one that is a privacy nightmare but keeps them sane and away from some dark thoughts.

Only because that's the available Linux distro this year (used to be Ubuntu).

Considering the rule:

A successful entry in this category must leverage a kernel vulnerability to escalate privileges.

It's not unreasonable to say it may affect other distros.

Yeah that's the one!

Was Encarta the one with a trivia game? Or was that Britannica? Cause I remember my antisocial young self playing it to death.

I still got some useless facts stuck in my head, taking up valuable space.. I can't conjure any of them on demand; but someone could randomly mention a species of frog and I would go, "oh yeah, they're native to Madagascar!"

AI just decided to lead humans. The decision was made by no one. THIS change was a low stakes change.

AI didn't make the change. AI made no policy changes. The logout thing was a backend bug. The only thing the AI did was hallucinate that the bug was actual policy.

That said, I agree with your sentiment regarding where the world is heading. If it weren't for pesky regulations and optics, the military would have been flying 100% AI killer drones.

Triple, even. Boxer: Sportsperson, container, and dog.

unfairly tarred with the orange brush

Don't forget "hate media", and getting a preference deal with Pauline Hanson...

They really have zero self-awareness.
