Not really on topic, but it'fascinating how Dunning-Kruger effect continues to live its own life in the public culture despite being pretty much debunked in its most popular form a while ago. What Dunning-Kruger experiments have actual

This is true, it's also not devoid of addictiveness :) But you know what I mean, right? The ones using intricate algorithms and tracking to keep you "engaged" and manipulate what you read and see

AI provides shareholder value, while archive.is reduces shareholder value, and that's all that matters

Yeah, I would absolutely get rid of my smartphone if I could do banking and all the numerous authentication processes without it. While I sympathise with all the Linux phone projects, I just don't have a use case for a Linux phone.
