  • You read that a bit wrong. Productivity didn’t go down, productivity growth did.

    Economists are for some reason unable to accept that their so called productivity doesn’t grow infinetly. Every prognosis pretty much depends on a constant linear growth, so with a breakthrough in technology you would expect exponential growth.

    But what somehow no one of them considers is the fact that human productivity has reached its physical limit hundreds of years ago and the only thing even leading to linear growth in the first place are these technological breakthroughs.

    And that’s also the current issue. We haven’t had a major breakthrough in quite a few years. Sure everything gets better and easier to make, but nothing that happened in the last 20 years comes even close to the advent of PCs or the Internet as a whole. So the only way to keep your line from going up slightly less (not down, just slightly less up) is to reduce the number of workers while keeping your supposed output the same, i.e. firing people.

    Its the desperate struggle of the current system (capitalism) that depends on the lie that productivity can go up infinetly.





  • Let me preface this with “Fuck the trump cabinet, they are both evil and unqualified”.

    But the thing I never understood is the need to have people with Degrees in leadership positions. A PHD doesn’t exactly mean you are smart or a good leader, it just means you were privileged enough to study for 7+ years without starving. Especially since the degrees usually barely overlap with their respective areas.

    The only thing it brings us is a bunch of rich privileged assholes in charge that all have never worked a job other than “business consultant” in their lives.

    A strong sense of fairness / righteousness is officially regarded as a symptom/trait of autism.

    Technically its a good trait to have, but by god does it suck in this reality. It automatically pushes you politically to the left (you know, human rights and stuff…) while at the same time completely removing your ability to look at issues that you can’t control with a certain level of apathy.

    300 years ago that meant you would help your neighbor out with food if they had a bad harvest and got fucked over by the tax collector. Today it means you are following every bad thing happening globally, fully knowing where this all leads due to your pattern recognition skills, while slowly being driven insane due to the fact that most of the population simply doesn’t seem to care.



  • Finanziell ists definitiv eine sehr dumme Entscheidung, vor allem zu den momentanen Zeiten wo Preise so stark schwanken können.

    Mal eben so einen Kredit über die Bank aufzunehmen wird nicht möglich sein, die möchte normalerweise Kollateral oder einen Plan zur Rückzahlung haben. Evtl bekommst du ein paar tausend mit hohem Zins, die dich schnell in eine Schuldenspirale treiben können.

    Deine Rechnung mit 800€ im Monat scheint mir auch sehr konservativ zu sein. Ist da wirklich alles mit drin? Miete + Nebenkosten, Strom, Internet, Haftpflicht, Essen, Haushaltskosten, GEZ, Kleidung, wenigstens mal 50€ für Hobbies?

    Wenn du einfach für ein bisschen Freiheit / Unabhängigkeit ausziehen möchtest, dann mach es besser nicht.

    Wenn es allerdings einen anderen Grund gibt (ich hab selbst mit komplett zerstrittenen Eltern gelebt, ist nicht lustig), dann rechne bitte nochmal genau nach, ob du es dir wirklich leisten kannst.


  • We’ve crossed the point where natural skepticism could’ve saved us months ago. Feedback loops of made up sources where a problem way before ai was a thing, but now you can be five sources deep, reading trough papers published by multiple different scientific magazines or universities, and still won’t have found the actual data all the papers depend on cause there wasn’t any in the first place.

    And once a single one of these papers gets published, there will be about one million SEO articles on shitty clickbait websites that, in this case, would try to sell you a home remedy for your supposed illness. So searching for any useful information is pretty much off the table.

    The studies contain parts like

    Bixonimania, a rare hyperpigmentation disorder, presents a diagnostic challenge due to its unique presentation and its fictional nature

    and

    This study was fully funded by Austeria Horizon University, in particular the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation for its work in advanced trickery. This works is a part of a larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad with the funding number…

    as well as

    Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group

    Any human actively reading those studies would notice something off.

    Besides, the author didn’t feed it to the AI himself, he just published the study as a preprint, not even officially. Everything after that was done by the crawlers. This specific study was an experiment to see how far these crawlers go and if anything gets reviewed, but it could just as well have been a satirical paper published on April 1st and the crawlers would still see it as truth.


  • That depends on your definition of private.

    A push notification is pretty much just a ping that wakes up the app that is supposed to show you the notification. There usually isnt much data in that ping, so the only thing the Google firebase servers (or whatever other backend solution you use) see is a timestamp and an app. If you then disable Notification historie (default is off bzw on GraphenOS) there is no other data stored anywhere.

    That’s metadata that every single chat service has, no matter if its E2EE or not, because that’s the bare minimum they need to transmit anything at all. If that already isn’t private for you then you’d have to stop using the internet or phonecalls entirely and go back to carrier pidgeons.





  • Hazelnuts have ~60℅ fat, so that spread is still 35% suagr and 35% fat overall. Definetly better than the added palm oil in in nutella, but the health difference is pretty minor.

    I’m fact if we go by calories per serving, yours should be worse since fat is more energy dense than sugar.

    (But yes, the taste is definetly better and I would much rather have that at least contains mainly hazelnuts)
