I tried smaller internet for discussion like lemmy and mastodon, it’s either boring or equally as toxic. Makes me think we’ve been conditioned to expect a ton of content and get upset easily. Both can be true. Blogs has been more interestin

I stopped using ChatGPT because even though it’s faster I find its answers and ability to do tasks very unreliable. For instance I had a series of references I wanted it to quickly MLA format. It deleted 10/100 then made up 10 real sou

Last I invested in a clean energy ETF prior to covid and luckily sold it. For non-covid related reasons it completely lost 90% of its value. Therefore I think it’s risky.

If I’m not mistaken they own an advertisement company which they use the data for.

What does the binaries not being signed mean? It seems waterfox (?) has a legal entity behind it for your exact reason!

My experience with Chinese universities is they work so hard to pass the gaokao to get in then relax through university. This is common throughout all of east Asia. Maybe at top universities it’s different.

It’s sad that they fired him for simply being Chinese but I don’t see how this is an issue of academic freedom. He wasn’t teaching anything deep or challenging to the state as a Chinese language teacher. This is a case of racism in academia
