“Free ads that you can’t turn off”

Can AI do proper debugging and troubleshooting? That’s when I’ll start to get worried

Password managers. People will use anything but that: paper, notes app (without any security), using the same password everywhere…

Did you just assume my distro?

For the record, I use Debian

People still use Ubuntu?

“Narf!”

Technically, yes… but if it’s in movie/show, you already know it’s fiction

OK, I’ve actually watched the video this time (the last part, as you suggested). It seems that the author decided to leave out the debate about the Hubble constant and talk about other phenomena in the early universe, which also have their uncertainties.

As far as I can tell, the Hubble tension is still a thing, and JWST only confirmed the measurements of the Hubble telescope. See for example this recent article on ars technica.

For what I can tell, after the clickbaits and the sensationalisms, there is an actual unexplained discrepancy in the values of the Hubble constant measured with different methods. This means that something is not right in one of the methods (perhaps both), or that we are missing something else.

And yes, the Hubble constant is closely related to the age of the universe, so it’s basically the same issue.

This is actually a good thing, because the “crisis” can be the first clue to discovering some new exciting science! Just look at how the “ultraviolet catastrophe” kickstarted the field of quantum mechanics a century ago

B-b-but… line must go up!

Telegram has entered the chat

From my experience, people this noisy are unlikely to be cooperative about it. Or anything else

It’s a very bright black, obviously. Duh

Well, the guy is trying nonetheless

If you want a TLDR: every time dating apps work, they lose two customers, and they don’t want that

I use a password manager and the database is automatically synchronized to multiple devices. I use syncthing for that, but a public cloud would be fine as well, because it’s encrypted (well, as long as the master password is strong enough)

He’s just a troll, or a shill. Don’t give him attention or he will feel important

What about the title that chatGPT refused to generate?

It’s mostly not your fault. Apps, games, and socials are intentionally designed to be addictive. That’s because the more time you spend on them, the more ad revenue the owners make.

If sheer willpower doesn’t work, find other ways around it. Someone else already suggested going to a library or another place, that’s good advice. Of you phone is an issue, you could turn it off and allow yourself to turn it back on after you’ve been productive for an hour, or after you have achieved a specific goal.
