But try to remember that people in grief do a lot of weird stuff. Try not to be too hard on this guy.
He is in a situation where he is both looking for work and grieving. Pretty bad situation.

3·9 months agoI agree, but am happy that X is losing users to Bluesky, so I don’t try to convert friends and family from Bluesky to Masrodon. I’d rather they start changing other stuff instead that is easier.
Yes, his views of the world is not correct imo. I just saw an opportunity to talk about LLMs and privacy and took it
This is answered as a Scandinavian.
One of the biggest issues I see with Deepseek and really any AI is that people feed it with sensitive data. Deepseek is probably not a big issue as long as people don’t share sensitive data about other people.
People find a tool that make them more effective, then they use it at work and insert data that should not be shared unfortunately.
The risk is also there for ChatGPT and Claude. The difference is that they are not a company from a country that is considered adversarial by my government.
USA is not perfect, far from it, and we KNOW from the Snowden leaks that they can’t be trusted. Yet, they are allies and can thus by extension be more trusted, than a country that has laws that force cooperation by companies and people worldwide.
As a European I prefer that my data is leaked to the USA over China. But I trust neither with it.
I might be wrong, and would like to learn that I am wrong. So feel free to try to convince me otherwise.

Nice! Looking forward to the update
I disagree. I believe that in the right hands it sharpens as it passes. If it does not, then you might need to change the way you talk to others in order to get there.
There are many times I have had thoughts that are principally correct or ideologically true to my beliefs, but that has been more moderated as I have heard the opinions and thoughts of others.
In a perfect world my values would be shared by everyone and the principles I hold would be shared amongst everyone. But we live in a world of compromise, and we can not fight every fight. And also, I am not infallible, my core beliefs are probably somewhat wrong.
Take the very current situation with free speech. I used to have a lot stronger opinion in support of absolute free speech, now I am more reserved. Principally I believe in absolute free speech still, but that won’t work in a non-perfect world

Why would you want to think independently? I am a collective thinker. I ask other people their opinions and discuss it with them. That’s how I learn and form my own opinions, and how you end up with good solutions to problems. You don’t have enough time to form good opinions on lots of topics, but you have time to curate your sources and who you discuss things with. You should aim for a good signal/noise ratio.
Thinking independently / being a free thinker is overrated in my opinion. A somewhat elitist way of describing oneself. “Not being a sheep” etc.
Identify your core values, sensible opinions can be derived from those. If there is a mismatch between your derived opinion based on one of your core values, then maybe you have to reconsider your core values. The best way to discover those is through discussion with others.
Being truly curious and discussing openly with others is one of the great joys of socializing. It can be done with people from all parts of the political spectrum. It’s much more enjoyable than small talk.
I am curious why you are getting downvoted here. Can someone explain? I was considering putting a rainbow sticker on my laptop for solidarity

Yeah, I was not able to convince my wife to use LibreOffice instead of Office365, but OnlyOffice was an easy sell. I really enjoy it myself as well.
On their page it says: "## Ascensio System SIA - home of the ONLYOFFICE
ONLYOFFICE is a project developed by experienced IT experts from Ascensio System SIA, leading IT company with headquarters in Riga, Latvia. Originally ONLYOFFICE was designed for internal team collaboration.
An attempt to introduce it to a wider audience proved to be successful: ONLYOFFICE received very positive feedback from the Internet community. As a result, its functionality was considerably revised and expanded that brought about a high and stable growth of users from different countries.
Nowadays, ONLYOFFICE is an international, open source project with employees and contributors in more than 30 countries. The holding company in Singapore unites our offices around the world under the ONLYOFFICE brand. For now, we have departments in Riga, Singapore, London, Dallas, Belgrade, Yerevan and Tashkent.

Hmm…you seem to be at least partially right.
“In 2009, a group of software developers from Ascensio System SIA (Latvian-based) and New Communication Technologies (Russian-based) launched a project called TeamLab, a platform for internal team collaboration.[32]” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice
Haha, thanks!
Finding grey hair in your beard. The first time I started to feel older was once I found a couple grey hair in my beard. None in my hair, just beard
It’s a compromise for sure, and not entirely consistent with the values of a vegan / vegetarian.
I wanted to reduce my meat and animal product consumption and it removed most of the social friction. The constant need to tell hosts of social gatherings of my preferences. I did not have to constantly hear whining from my grandmother about how they ate in the old days, and how we “city-folk” are.
I am currently a meat eater, but try to not eat meat too often. I would not consider myself a flexitarian, but eat way less than before.
I have attempted being ovo lacto vegetarian in the past, flexitarian and pescitarian, but never vegan.
My experience is that your motivation for not eating meat is why people care. If you do it for ethical or environmental reasons and not health ones. Then people will feel that you are thinking that you are superior to them.
Health one is the most accepted reason, because it is not an “attack” on someones values. Yes, it is ridiculous that people feel this way.
However it is more work having guests that have special dietary needs, and vegans and vegetarians are choosing it. People with allergies or religious reasons are not.
My experience is that the easiest way to get the most results with the least friction socially is to be a flexitarian. Eat vegetarian / vegan when you are cooking or buying food, and eat the meat and animal products you are served. That reduces your consumption of animal meat and products by 80-95% without the hassle.
I managed to be a flexitarian for 2-3 years, but gave up. Vegetarian I only managed like a month or two.
Also remember B12!
Yeah, that’s a good one too.
Every time I think about how important we are to them and how loyal they are, I end up thinking about the “Jurrasic Bark” episode in Futurama 😭
Yep. The longer I have been with my wife, the worse TV shows make me feel when spouses die and one is left all alone.
I think I would lose myself almost completely for a long time if it happened to me.
When I was younger I did not understand how people could die of grief after losing a loved one. I do now. I have been with my wife for over 10 years, we have a great bond and share everything. I would survive, but I can only imagine that bond after 30-40 or even 50, 60, 70 years.
