There’s been so many grifts, so many bubbles. Societal collapse will happen, but not because of AI is what I’m saying, but by capitalist strategies like infinite growth.

Binding the interface is definitely the recommended way to go about it, it was in some manual when I first informed myself about torrenting. But it’s not required and easy to miss if you don’t consume correct resources, it’s not obvious.

Doom doom doom, doom do doom, doom do doom

So you’re saying that full-time jobs are the problem, not AI?

What if AI took over everything and provided everything for you, so you could focus on doing whatever you want, including art, not needing a full time job anymore?

And what is “a character” in this context? Like a character in a book or what?

… what?

What are picrews, what is a sona, what is “my oc”, what is meant with “my character”?

Not quite true… by default it goes to the previous/next tab in the list, but if you accidentally clicked somewhere else entirely in the list then going back/forward from that point does not get you to the tab you previously had selected.

Afaik there is a setting for it, but you have to have it enabled beforehand so it builds the history.

It’s a bit ridiculous to me why you’d think that we’d be the last humans to exist. Habitable zones will keep existing after climate change kills 99% of the population. Even full-scale nuclear war will leave most dead, but not all.

The remainder will probably keep reproducing and survive. Even 0.001% of our current population would likely mean humanity would continue.

What else do you think would make humanity 100% extinct?

What I mean with “you’re not the only one” is that you’ll be (probably easily) able to find people that are good for you. Didn’t mean to put light on the fact it’s a societal issue; might be, might not be, but it’s irrelevant. Just meant to say that enough good people are out there.

If you’re like what you say you are, “staying with people in the hopes they might change for the better”, what I’ve noticed in my time on Earth is that “people like you” actually do find these problematic people specifically and spend their time with them. You want to improve the world and that means the people within them, and so you think your time is well spent like this.

However, this is unfortunately almost totally wrong. Instead of achieving your goal, the problematic people just mostly stay like they are, and because of that all that happens is that you become miserable because you don’t see any improvement, and don’t have any meaningful relationships.

If I may suggest an alternative, what I’ve found is that you actually have to find people that are already mostly good and have a proven track record of improving themselves. These are mostly good people. They have no big problems and no toxic behaviors. I assume you are such a person. So in other words, you have to find someone like you. If you do that, you can both improve together and help each other, instead of this one-sided thing you probably mostly had going on.

And yeah, like you said, “not setting yourself on fire to keep others warm”, this means you have to stop spending time with the people that just drain you, even though it may sometimes be painful.

Anyway, hope you have a wonderful time, because this is actually all really fun once you prioritize your own happiness while dealing with others :D

See how many people here share your troubles? There’s no shortage of people like you. The thing is, like you say, you have to stop putting up with people’s bullshit. When you notice bullshit, confront them with it, and if there’s no way of reconciliation, move on immediately, don’t try to “put up” with anything. From what you said it seems like you hold on to toxic people too long.

Also, have you ever thought about that you might also have “BS” that other people would have to deal with when they want to create a deep connection with you? Do you think that’s absolutely impossible?

Just don’t use repacks like this, the original package is fine. Bandwidth is often free if you get a torrent, no need to save a few hundred MBs with ridiculously CPU intensive compression algorithms.

Eventually, yes. If everyone’s needs are provided for, there is no requirement anymore to extract value from art, one can just make it and share it freely.

Copyright should be abolished.

Why is no one mentioning here that the business model shouldn’t exist? If a copy can be made basically for free, there is no reason not to make it basically free. We should be providing everyone with the means to live regardless of their ability to sell stuff. If everyone was free to do whatever they please because their existence was provided for, people would still make media, because people love making things like that.

Of course that might mean that in the short term, while we don’t do this, pirating might mean that some things stop existing. I’d be completely fine if all Hollywood movies and other shit disappeared overnight. Maybe then people would finally come to the understanding that our current model of doing things sucks.

It’s not a problem though. If you as a pirate want the business model of selling copies to not exist anymore, everyone always pirating would achieve that and not be a problem.

You forget the alternative mindset:

An active desire to see traditional ways of funding to disappear, and the media along with it.

Oh wow you really need better people around you then :( there are people that don’t mind your executive disfunction, and I know that life then suddenly gets much different.

Just freeze whatever you can’t finish in one go.

Because this is not log or debug data as OP said. In any case, what do you think would happen with this data? It will be analyzed by some sort of tool because no one could manually look at this much text data. In text, this can be like 1MB of data per second. So in a normal eye tracking session, probably hundreds of MB. The problem isn’t the storage space, but the time it will take to read that in and analyze it each time, forcing you to wait for processing or use lots of memory while reading it. And anyway, in most languages, it’s actually much easier to store the number values directly (in 8 bytes not the 30something this text representation uses) than to convert them to JSON, all languages have some built-in way to do that. And even if not, sqlite is piss-easy and does everything for you, being as simple as JSON.

There is just no reason to do it like that unless you just don’t think about what you’re doing or have no clue.
