For the access fat it's the diet, exercise influences it very little.

I blame the standard diet with this huge amount of carbs at the bottom of the food pyramide.

But actually it's probably the huge proportion of ultra processed food.

The difference is the intent and the background behind it.

Sure for maximum mass adoption the computer can out-research any human and just find the blandest set of rules which cater to the highest percentage of the majority.

What it still will have a hard time doing, and I predict it will be for quite some time - probably until we have quantum computers - is to come up with a new way of doing poetry which is not just copying what humans did but better.

I think of AI like it's China, they are super efficient in copeing things and gradually making them better and cheaper but the setup of their society makes it impossible to really innovate.

And yeah I'm saying that it's the setup, because in Taiwan they are able to innovate at a much higher rate.

Approximately 10 hours or more of sedentary behavior per day is associated with heightened risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death, even in those who regularly exercise.

This means every single office worker.

significant portion of the content in my feeds appears to be AI-generated

On which platforms? For me it seems to be true on the big ones I still kind of use because of some other reasons like Facebook and Instagram, but the niche ones like Lemmy and Mastodon don't.

One exception of the big ones is YouTube, there seems to still be enough humans creating content so it still out weights the AI generated one.

Yes indeed, and it might still be OK, but the world moving to the right and the right being so against immigration I forse a future where permanent residency is not that easy anymore. Especially if you're not like me a white fairly well educated male from Europe. People like me seem to have huge privileges in many the parts of the world.

I did plan ahead, the plan was to get my jacket in between when everyone was walking out of the church to gather at the graveyard.

Also if we are nitpicking then everyone can talk to god in the catholic church, including the priest after he listens to all my sins, but god for some reason only responds to the prophets.

Anyway, those nuances are for the scholars, not for a teenage altar boy.

That is a very good point, but it only works of the world is somewhat open to immigrants. I migrated 3 times in my life, starting from practically one suitcase each time. I'm very lucky to have ended up in times and countries which allowed me to stay and to contribute to their society. Sadly that seems less and less a given.

I was a altar boy in my teens. One time in winter we had to attend a funeral. First we were in church, so I put on the white rope stuff during the mass. But then we had to go out to the graveyard for like half an hour more and stand there in the cold.

I told the priest that I would just quickly put on the jacket underneath because it was freezing outside. But he forbid in and said I should have thought of it before the mass and had it on under the ropes in church all the time because now there is no time for that. He forced us out without jackets into the freezing cold.

Right there I started thinking what kind of a priest do we have who cares more about dead people and make it convenient for them instead of the living. And if the priest represents god here in our community because he talks to him and can forgive our sins in his name and so on, then this is also gods will. So what king of a God am I worshiping here?

Anyway, I think that was the start of me stopping believing in God. I stopped being an altar boy, later stopped going to church and started actively researching those deeper questions around organized religion and god. Over time it led me to became an atheist who hasn't seen any evidence for existence of any god.

Why doesn't he move to China?

Uhm it looks very odd, like you somehow have miniature wrists.

Nice, when they introduced the AppStore I was convinced that this would happen within a few years and as a developer I moved off Apple products and towards more open hardware and software. I was confused why - while they did it from the start on iOS - they kept allowing side-loading on their computers. In the end they just tried to cook the frog slowly so it wouldn't jump out of the saucepan.

PieFed also just shows one number.

 

I have always been struggling to move big files from my Android phone to my Linux laptop. KDE connect is kind of working but is kind of cumbersome to set up on gnome with the extension that every now and then is incompatible. It also often loses the connection and you need to set it up again and then you forgot how to even get the UI for it because it's not an app but a gnome extension, etc. very cumbersome.

But I just saw that every android phone already has QuickShare build in to the sharing button. And now I saw that there is a Linux implementation of it and it's super nice that it's just an app. It looks a bit awkward because it's not a gnome application but other than that it works really nice.

 
 

I run my HomeAssistant on a RaspberryPi 4 from a SD card. Two days ago I did a upgrade to the newest version (I don't remember if it was HomeAssistant or the Operating System) and since then it does not boot anymore.

I connected it via HDMI to a screen and got those errors:

It looks to me that the SD card is corrupted or something. Any idea if I can fix it in any way or do I need to redo the setup from scratch?

 
 

The Israeli government did not tamper with the Hezbollah devices that exploded, defense and intelligence officials say. It manufactured them as part of an elaborate ruse.

 

I was excited to learn about two new terminal emulator app which seemed to have a lot of cool new features, warp and wave. Then I looked closer and found that both are a no go for me.

Warp is closed source and you need to create an account to use your terminal. Jebus Christus, no, thanks, but no.

Wave is an Electron app. While that's better than not having a Linux version, I've seen how Electron apps behave. They are the ones which hog all memory and get killed by the OS first. So that's a no from me too.

I guess I keep my Tilix for now.

 

My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I'm not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I'm there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, "The Big Boss (1971)". In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That's not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn't believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn't fall asleep. I never told my parents.
