Ask yourself the same question, but replace trans with cis. Everyone is different,

I read this in Sazed’s accent, from Mistborn. He used to finish sentences with “I think” :)

Ah, I did not know that.

i’m not saying it is ai generated, but those apostrophes from “can’t” and “don’t”… i don’t have those on my keyboard :)

just picked up fallout 4 goty

works beautifully (for me, ~40 fps) with ultra settings @1440p on my thinkpad with igpu :)

I feel you.

Haha, thanks :)

Well, I don’t use any social media (besides Lemmy), so that helps :) There are a couple of Whatsapp group chats where I rarely participate, but I muted those, so I don’t get any alerts.

I do, and not only on Lemmy, but also Whatsapp, Teams, email etc. It’s the fear of screwing up and/or missing out, and a wave of anxiety combs over me when I see a number >0. I’ve been talking with my therapist about it, there are reasons and methods to overcome this…

They didn’t go into details, just made sure I fear talking about it again. Losing my parents was incentive enough. And I’ve never heard them talk about the regime ever again.

A few months later, in December of ‘89, as more and more cities around the country were revolting, my parents suddenly took me to my grandparents’ in the countryside, and they went back to town. I didn’t know why. A few days later I saw on TV the “we’re free” news, with footage from around the country and the new “National Salvation Front” political party taking over. I didn’t understand much then, but I remember being proud that they finally “arrested the guy” (they executed him and his wife by firing squad, on Christmas day).

i was around 7yo.

I grew up in a rough communist regime. I was really young when I overheard my parents talking about how the “supreme leader” was bad and things were starting to boil the next town over. There was nothing on TV or radio. Innocent me just asked my dad like, if he’s that bad, why don’t they just arrest the guy? They didn’t realize I actually understood what they were talking about. I can still remember, to this day, 36 years later, how the soul left my parents’ body in an instant, and we had a looong conversation about how I should never say anything like that ever again. People disappear when they talked like that, and “you don’t want your mum and dad to go away, do you”?

A few months later there was a nation wide uprising, people died, the regime fell, and they actually arrested the guy.

I love reading, but lack the time to do it. I listen to audiobooks when commuting, I would love to get more time to do that. So I recommend that.

What about a color e-reader with some comics or ebooks? Or watch/listen some classes that fit your interests online? Brandon Sanderson has his creative writing classes for free on YouTube, and there are so many more that might interest you…

It’s really popular in the server world, and it’s the foundation of many other distros, maybe that’s why?

No Bias, No Bull AI I’ve spent my career grappling with bias. As an executive at Meta overseeing news and fact-checking, I saw how algorithms and AI systems shape what billions of people see and believe. As a journalist at CNN, I even hosted a show briefly called “No Bias, No Bull”(easier said than done, as it turned out). Trump’s executive order on “woke AI” has reignited debate around bias and AI. The implication was clear: AI systems aren’t just tools, they’re new media institutions, and the people behind them can shape public opinion as much as any newsroom ever did. But for me, the real concern isn’t whether AI skews left or right, it’s seeing my teenagers use AI for everything from homework to news without ever questioning where the information comes from. Political bias misses the deeper issue: transparency. We rarely see which sources shaped an answer, and when links do appear, most people ignore them. An AI answer about the economy, healthcare, or politics, sounds authoritative. Even when sources are provided, they’re often just footnotes while the AI presents itself as the expert. Users trust the AI’s synthesis without engaging sources, whether the material came from a peer-reviewed study or a Reddit thread. And the stakes are rising. News-focused interactions with ChatGPT surged 212% between January 2024 and May 2025, while 69% of news searches now end without clicking to the original claiming neutrality while harboring clear bias. We’re making the same mistake with AI, accepting its conclusions without understanding their origins or how sources shaped the final answer. The solution isn’t eliminating bias (impossible), but making it visible. Restoring trust requires acknowledging everyone has perspective, and pretending otherwise destroys credibility. AI offers a chance to rebuild trust through transparency, not by claiming neutrality, but by showing its work. What if AI didn’t just provide sources as afterthoughts, but made them central to every response, both what they say and how they differ: “A 2024 MIT study funded by the National Science Foundation…” or “How a Wall Street economist, a labor union researcher, and a Fed official each interpret the numbers…”. Even this basic sourcing adds essential context. Some models have made progress on attribution, but we need audit trails that show us where the words came from, and how they shaped the answer. When anyone can sound authoritative, radical transparency isn’t just ethical, it’s the principle that should guide how we build these tools. What would make you click on AI sources instead of just trusting the summary? Full transparency: I’m developing a project focused precisely on this challenge– building transparency and attribution into AI-generated content. Love your thoughts.

1200h in PZ and 1000h in Rimworld. This was across many years, but still, I have a job and a family, so I feel like that’s a huge chunk of time.

Yeah, same, my d&d group calls me by my first character’s name :)
