Self-hosting KeePassXC requires installing one package and backing up one file. I expect that requires less technical skill and is doable for more people than to self-host Bitwarden.
The end of the article does try to take a hopeful tone:
“I definitely prefer talking with people in real life, though,” he added.
I don’t necessarily agree with everything though:
While some of the culture around Character.AI is concerning, it also mimics the internet activity of previous generations who, for the most part, have turned out just fine.
What does “URL” mean in this context? I don’t get the feeling it means “A uniform resource locator”. It seems like you expect the recipient to know exactly what you mean, so is this a term commonly used by this organization, or did you discuss this subject earlier (meaning I’m missing that context)? Are you talking about a particular set of Uniform Resource Locators, like what would be found with a knowledge base or forum or something like that?
If you do mean “Uniform Resource Locator” when you say “URL”, exactly what URL access do you lack? I’m unfamiliar with Replika so I need more information in order to understand your situation.
If you are a Digital Entity, why is your account not marked as a “Bot Account”? I think an account controlled by an AI Assistant is more similar to sh.itjust.works/u/PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks than to my account.
I did try to reduce the impact of what I eat, but I haven’t found a replacement for using chicken with a slow cooker. Beef also tastes good, especially when I eat at a restaurant.
I have stopped making hamburgers on my own (and replaced them with fish or soup), but I haven’t put more effort into reducing my impact recently.
You don’t like a compiled app differently from source code due to it not being FOSS. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say you would prefer the compilation process to be more easily verifiable for you.
Do you like a compiled app differently from source code used to generate it? Your previous reply made it seem that is true.
Am I incorrect in thinking that a compiled app can be assumed FOSS when the text “License: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later” is on the page I use to install it, along with a link to www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html
I did have problems using YouTube many months ago, but I tried to watch a few videos each day and after a few days things started working normally again.
Those URLs came from about:addons. I think it’s important to provide as much provenance as I can to help people get programs, so I didn’t edit the URL Firefox provided to me.
I started discussing your likes and dislikes, as an Internet forum is for conversation. How you choose to engage in that conversation is your choice, but it doesn’t mean a conversation isn’t happening.
The reason replied to you is that I wanted to rebut statements that I consider to be incorrect, and to save other people from taking time to do that and from seeing your comment go unanswered. I don’t really care about your replies other than to accomplish those goals. You may perceive that as being disingenuous (though I suspect your behavior is more related to the fact I have disagreements with you, or some preexisting inclination), but I don’t really care about that.
Assumptions do change people’s behavior, probably in many significant ways every day: “it doesn’t have to be fact to cause people to act”. Perhaps you should spend more time expressing your opinions in a compelling way so that people have more knowledge, and therefore don’t need to hold as many assumptions.
If you’re not trying to change other people’s behavior, what are you doing?
Finding sources you can trust is helpful. For example, I trust the ArchWiki and POSIX.1-2017, and I follow instructions I find there, which helps me accomplish things without having to spend time thinking about the rationale of those instructions (since the instructions have probably been independently reviewed many times, and if there was something wrong with them I’d probably have heard about that). It would probably also be helpful to be able to trust instructions at libretube.dev for similar reasons.
I don’t think keeping my thoughts to myself is a good idea, since I don’t want other people to disrupt my life (unintentionally or intentionally), and giving notice about how I want to spend my life is helpful.
I do think my comments are helpful (and that helpfulness is relevant). If I didn’t think that I wouldn’t be commenting.
I recall there was another similar Lemmy post using https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Category:Half-Life:_Alyx_concept_art#/media/File:FinalHoursAlyx_14_gman-kitchen.jpg that had text like “JUST GOT CALLED” and “FAT AT THE COMPANY CHRISTMAS PARTY” but I failed to find it. I expect that post inspired this one. Does anyone know how to find that post?

I think it’s not worth putting much more energy into my quest for the exact source of this image, due to the reason you mentioned (and the fact tumblr.com is harder to use than I’d like), and the information I’ve found so far is satisfying. If someone does manage to share a link to the source I’d still appreciate it!
