German here, did Erasmus exchange in Istanbul, Turkey while at art / design school. While the university there was to, uh … practical? advertisement focussed? capitalist? for my liking it still was one of the best things I’ve done in my life so far. Met so many cool people from different backgrounds, learned a lot about social skills / relationships, the music, the food, it is (was? It was like 15 years ago, before Erdogan) an amazing city. Can def recommend.

We will see if this will have in impact at all, or can you name something that has (or will likely) changed for the better because if this?

Oh, I think I’ve seen their adaption of Brave New World in a library somewhere:

Not a huge fan of the style but could be good.

Tumblr is is such a goldmine sometimes, thanks for that.

Another reason to hate AI!

I hope “Bitcoin Man” will have to pay dearly as compensation for the council’s time he wasted.

Not with the Fitgirl-Repack-version 👌

Not being anxious about almost everything.

You can totally own your social media accounts (and I think politicians, parties, companies and people should) if you run your own Mastodon, Peertube etc instance (sure, AI-ssholes will still steal you data but you can’t not have that if you do something on the public internet today, apparently). Yes, only a few people will want to learn how to do that but just like with email and websites (more things all of the above people should have) you can buy hosted versions and do backups, move to a different host, own your data. The problem is that people don’t care until it’s too late.

I was also immediately thinking of tides as a time measurent. Relying on moon cycles gets you out of sync with solar years pretty quickly (os thqt important underwater? You probably do get seasonal changes?), I wonder if you could detect sunlight intensity changes or something and then do the whole solar / lunar calendar leap-day shebang we do …

At the moment, maybe.

Oops, I just commented tge exact same thing befire reading your comment.

I mean the real world is ending atm and all humanity is doing is side quests …

Basically doing a variant / slim version for my needs

I would advise against using dates in file/folder names for almost anything except for maybe photos and documents. Always pair with searchable keywords. Will you remember when exactly you downloaded that random picture when you wanna find it a few years later? Have fun looking through a hundred /year/month/day folders.

More the latter, I organise mostly by type (movies, series, music, podcasts, comics, books, photos, images etc) and use (workfiles, documents, resources, tutorials etc). There’s was a whole subreddit about this, datacurator, not sure if something similar exists on Lemmy.

Thanks for that! So my hunch seemed to be oretty right, unfortunately (not sure if it should be everybody’s goal to become rich, that seems unsustainable but I wish it would be possible for more people to live a happy life …)

I think the changes of that happening are statistically neglible, though (comfortable maaaaybe if you’re really lucky but becoming rich is probably a one digit change, if that).

Insert “Can’t spell Threads without ads” joke here.

The roles are not reversed, though (quite the opposite), so no need to worry about that:

Yeah, making that G capital really makes it look like a C, amazing job 🤦‍♀️
