Quit playing the numbers game. It's all irrelevant. Those numbers are there to go up, give you that dopamine, and get you addicted. Yeah, it's hard, but once you keep reminding yourself that most social media is designed to be addictive and is genuinely detrimental to mental health, you will begin to stop caring.

If I'm talking to a friend I want them to be themselves and genuine. Having someone else compose a message for them, AI or human, invades my privacy and tells me that they don't want me to see who they genuinely are. Talk to me like you normally do. Don't paraphrase everything you want to say through a third party. We're not strangers, there's no need for everything to be professional. I'm friends with YOU, and I'm talking to YOU. Don't pretend to be someone you aren't.

To me this is less about AI vs Human, it's just the fact the friend isn't being genuine.

I had a diabetic cat. Diagnosed around 12 years old and passed away at 18. He didn't even care about his insulin shots. He would be just happily munching away his breakfast or supper and not even notice he got jabbed. He was always his super friendly and cheerful self until his time came. As long as you can maintain their medication they will be just fine.

EDIT: There are also specialized foods for diabetic cats, some available directly from the vet. If they recommend feeding your fuzzy one that, it's worth it. Way better for them than the stuff you'll find in most pet stores. At least that's the situation in Canada.

You're telling me governments use computers? That's insane, I don't believe it. Next you'll be telling me they're on the internet too.

Vivaldi is going to block this. It is a thing being built into the engine and they are going to be blocking it in their browser.

I know people say Vivaldi is slow but they've done some refactoring recently. Gave it a whirl and it's as fast as Edge now on my old crappy laptop.

Both Sludge Life games. A bit unconventional but I found a lot of spots in the games where I would just stand there and take in the various scenes going on. Both games can be beaten fairly quick but it took me hours to get through them because I kept stopping to just take in everything going on.

First time hearing about this. Installed it on both my laptop and desktop. Helped 3 people so far :)

Signal already said that they're willing to leave the UK if the UK goes ahead with their E2EE backdoor law. I can see more companies doing the same if the government keeps insisting that every foreign company complies with their bullshit.
