Ah I see, he should be against fast food as he is against vaccines. Now I get it, it's funny.

But you don't want to enlighten me?

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.

Can someone explain the text in the picture? I understand he is against vaccines, but is he also against fast food and coca cola or why is that person so upset?

The older he gets the more true it'll be. Once he change sthe law to become supreme leader for life it will also get easier, just need to keep him alive longer. In China they harvest organs from young people to keep the CPP top alive as long as possible, so why not in America too? Learn from the winners! /s

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.

 

Today 5 years ago I was in Hebron, Palestine. I spent there a couple of days at a AirBnb. The story is quite fascinating and I recorded audio while talking to many local people there.

Many different things happened during my stay which you can hear about in the podcast episode. From the bus driver who drove me there from Jerusalem not wanting to let me go out because he feared for my safety then two 10 years old trying mug me while other teenagers escorting me to the military checkpoint. My confusion about the maps of palestine and Israel and explanations of it. I also visited a family who's house has been bulldozered by the #IDF several times and they kept rebuilding it. Their son just married the weekend before and on the way to the wedding the IDF stopped him and harassed him to give them money so they'd let him go to his wedding. Anyway there is much more in there than I can mention here.

So check it out https://jeena.net/pods/21

I also recorded a half an hour video back then walking around in the old city, you can watch it while you listen to the podcast: https://tube.jeena.net/w/3FhHLhdfxHpEJGdGPTA3uA

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.

Paying for the first date (piefed.jeena.net)

So I'm from Europe and went on a business trip to South Korea. I haven't been dating much but installed a dating app thinking why the hell not. Anyway, I matched with one woman and we start talking and it gets deep quickly and after a couple of days she gets impatient that I didn't suggest to meet up so she suggests it. We meet up in a Korean sashimi restaurant and I talk most of the time - I guess because she is self conscious of her English - but she listens actively and it's really nice.

Once we're done we stand up, she gets her coat and I walk to the counter to pay (you don't pay at the table in Korea). Suddenly I realize she somehow already payed! I low key panic, it's the first date and I'm supposed to pay, what is going on? Korea, what are you doing, what is going on? I try to explain to her that this is not how it's supposed to be but she just brushes it off and we go out for coffee (which I pay, this is another custom in Korea that if one pays for the food, the other pays for the coffee afterwards) and for a long romantic walk by the river.

Anyway, this was four years ago and last months was our wedding and our son is 22 moth old and we and her daughter all live as a happy little family here in Korea.

 

Just around the corner at our house older Koreans are doing guerilla gardening.

 

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.

Do you guys, who have a espresso machine at home, really want to drink a espresso late in the evening, or night for that matter?

 
 

It's getting weirder and weirder, should I start looking for flight tickets for my family?

 

North Korea threatens simultaneous barrage of 5,700 long-range artillery shells, ‘raining shells on the Seoul metropolitan area’.

North Korea has threatened to rain down 5,700 shells on the Seoul metropolitan area using its long-range artillery. This escalation in threats follows North Korea's declaration of heightened readiness across eight frontline artillery brigades, which are deployed along the western and eastern sections of the demilitarized zone, targeting the South Korean capital. The North is estimated to possess around 570 long-range artillery pieces, including 240mm and 300mm rocket launchers, capable of reaching Seoul and surrounding regions.

This development has significantly raised tensions on the Korean Peninsula, with South Korean forces also strengthening their counter-artillery preparations. Additionally, North Korea is reportedly preparing to blow up key transportation routes connecting the two Koreas, further intensifying military and political standoffs.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, has made repeated public statements holding the United States responsible for escalating tensions and threatening that any perceived violations of North Korean sovereignty, particularly regarding drone incursions, would result in consequences for both South Korea and the U.S.

South Korean military officials have heightened their surveillance and are preparing for any potential provocations from the North, which could involve artillery strikes, missile launches, or other forms of military aggression.

 

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?
