shneancy@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerningEnglish9·3 days agois gemini on all androids? i remember there once was something called bixby, now when i accidentally hold the home button for too long it tells me to enable “circle”. i’ve disabled all of those “smart” features but fuck knows what is going to get automatically installed in an update next week
shneancy@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•If you're young you better be reading this with a bunch of friends getting up in your space so they can laugh really close to your ears5·3 days agosounds fake, as we all know gen z is loud teenagers, and millennials are just out of college
shneancy@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•US embassy wants 'every social media username of past five years' for new visas59·5 days agolmao, their tourism is going to shrivel and die so fast

shneancy@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Websites Are Tracking You Via Browser FingerprintingEnglish14·9 days agoi mean, yeah?
the cookies you accept, the addons you have, hell, even the size of your monitor when you maximalise the window is a part of your browser fingerprint
anyone who’s ever downloaded the Tor browser will know it. that browser screams at you if you try to maximalise or install addons exactly because of that
shneancy@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Study: US kids who said their social media, phone, or video game use was “addictive” were 2x-3x more likely to have thoughts of suicide or self-harm by age 14English32·9 days agohmm, i do wonder which causes which. Depression makes you prone to addictions as you seek anything to give you the happy chemicals. But constant social media exposure is rather harmful when you just take it all in, and that can cause depression Especially if you don’t block keywords for war coverages and politics.
i stand firm in my opinion that human brains are straight up not designed to take in a constant stream of bad news from around the world, which sucks because we are designed to focus on negatives for our survival. Memories of accidents and deaths take priority over nice memories so that we can avoid dangers better. from evolution’s point of view you being happy is an afterthought, you just need to live long enough to fuck. and across history it worked! we never had to distinguish between dangers nearby and dangers so far away it literally does not matter for you, as all news were brought by foot or with an otherwise huge time delay - they were either nearby or already history, and only one or two at a time. well, never… until today, and our neuroplasticity doesn’t seem to be enough to counter this, and evolution doesn’t work fast enough to fix this
Could also be a vicious cycle where if you trip and fall once both will create a negative synergy where you try to drown your sorrows in addictive doomscrolling, which only makes you worse
shneancy@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much data do you require before you accept something as "fact"?10·9 days agois it a fun fact that impacts nothing? i’ll accept it as fact immediately and without question
is it a fact that has some weight to it? i’ll probably double check and if i find a reliable source that also claims it to be fact i’ll accept it (if i’m reading about it from a reliable source i will accept it immediately)
is it a fact that contradicts my current beliefs/understanding of the world? i’ll do some research on it, check if there’s any recent articles like “that thing you thought was right? is not!”, and depending on the nature of the fact think about why it’s been debunked and how that changed my perception on the world

if they can’t do it on their own, and also assuming their aversion to introspection extends to psychologists too… well, if they ever express a desire to try psychadelics do encourage them. if there’s one thing that can force you to look in, it’s that. but let me reiterate - encourage them if they independently come up with the idea, don’t drug them (obviously), don’t push them towards it, make sure they are able to give informed consent to trying

i have no words honestly. i wasn’t even talking about cities, so far all European cities i’ve visited were walkable, i was thinking mid size towns and even villages. Basically if your place of residence can’t be missed if you blink as you drive by there’s probably at least a grocery store in it, and more frequent a general store with most basics you’d need in a day-to-day life next to groceries
