could you tell me what book it is 👀

I'm probably part of the problem because I got the survey on my Mac and not my Linux machine…
!bside@fedia.io might like this. Always happy to see Fediverse devs!
I'd definitely like that as a programming.dev user. I like to see topic-specific instances used for that topic, and to have lots of communities about that topic.
Same, I'd prefer to see this from programming.dev. Subbed anyways, because aside from changing my wallpaper I left my PC at a totally default look and would like to pressure myself to change it by following this community.
I figure this community could benefit from an ad in the many Linux communities on Lemmy.
I am all for pointing out conflicts of interest, but I bought an SSD external hard drive from Seagate, and just looking up "Seagate SSD" will take you to a bunch of Seagate SSD products. Is there something I'm missing here?
Might be worth telling the various datahoarder communities on Lemmy
Useful, thank you!
TL;DR:
Beginning this week, all Meta users in the EU will start receiving notifications about the terms of the new AI training, either via app or email.
These notifications will include a link to a form where people can withdraw their consent for their data to be used for training Meta AI.
I kind of wanted to make a collection post of all the how to demeta posts here, but figured it'd be too passive-aggressive of me. Glad to see I'm not the only one here who is not a big fan of the "Meta does something bad again" news articles. (Then why am I here? I unsubscribed but this still shows up in my Local feed.)
I suppose they are relevant and on-topic, given they might push someone in the middle of demetaing or considering it to actually finish or start the job, but… it feels more like preaching "let's get mad over Facebook's evils again!" to the choir. Then again, I imagine it's hard to sustain a community about demetaing with just factual information about how to do it, because the process does not change that much over time. And I am speaking as someone who's already been convinced that Facebook is bad, is a bit oversensitive, and has tried to curate outrage and "known bad company does something bad again" posts out of my feed (I do stay up to date with news… off of Lemmy), so that is probably heavily influencing my perspective towards that type of post.
taking apps meant for one thing and using them for something else is my favorite thing
even if this is still very related because it's physical activity timing
Anecdotal evidence, but as a kid I played the fuck out of edutainment games and not much else with a screen. Did not watch that much TV, did a lot of reading and playing outside and making really bad kid crafts… I think the edutainment games, my primary screen use, helped me in the long run. I say this as someone who definitely uses screens too much as an adult. Screens ≠ bad, as long as it's an actual good use of time.
There is a big difference between passive mindless scrolling/consumption and using the screen to do something like learning, making art (thanks drawing programs, music making programs, video making programs, IDEs), communicating with people you value who happen to live far away… it's really nice being able to enter my musical ideas with a computer, a little slower than I come up with them; than to have to write it out all by hand and take forever because my handwriting is crappy and hard to read unless I slow down and take my time. To modify my recipes on my phone quickly and wipe off the screen with no fuss if juices splash on it, as opposed to staining a recipe page forever (possibly even losing information if the stain is bad enough) and crying about it. To type to my friends overseas and it's okay for them to reply whenever they wake up, instead of strictly scheduling calls because of timezone differences and schedules and maybe forgetting that thing you wanted to share with them because you had the thought 6 hours ago. To access a bunch of open free textbooks or learning resources and how-to articles without having to drive to the library first. If all my screen use was useful I'd still be using them a lot, because it honestly makes my life much easier to have easily searchable and quickly-createable information resources that I can back up on a device I can clean easily, instead of a bunch of physical documents I'll inevitably lose or dirty and freak out about losing or dirtying especially given how much time I sunk into making them by hand.
Also, I'm forgetful and having reminders I set to go off at specific times or when I leave a specific location is so much more effective for managing this tendency than writing on my hand or asking someone else to remind me of whatever. If I didn't have the internet I probably would not have figured out gay rights until actually meeting openly gay people in college in an environment that didn't encourage them to hide, as opposed to figuring it out at ~13 and learning I'm not as straight as I thought I was thanks to the internet. That is a few extra years of less "do what you want in your house but keep it away from the rest of us"-brand homophobia thanks to the internet.
