As a consumer I hate AI-slopped apps. They activly make the experience worse!

I personally used latex with the tikz library… It was strange but all the other things annoyed me

Maybe it would also be good to include software options into this?

Like browsers (librewolf, hardend firefox, etc.)

Browsers on mobile

Search engines (ddg, kagi, …)

email providers (proton, tuta, …)

Vpns (proton, ivpn, airvpn, …)

Messanger (signal, …)

Or things like FreeTube to reduce telemetry and ads from youtube

And alternatives such as lemmy for reddit, mastodon for twitter

It will bloat this post quite a bit, and they are more easily accessable to find, but it’s nice to gather all the materials needed in one place maybe?

Nothig is wrong with a textfile if it works for you. The todo-list apps and time tracking apps just offer easily accessable features like projects, tags, subtasks, maybe some sync festures and import features from some calender or something. So you don’t have to build a system to organize your stuff yourself.

I stuck with superproductivity. It supperts boards (you can configure your own board, but kanban and eisenhower are build in i think (i dont use that feature) i like how they handle projects and task storage. They have a philosophy of not adding task from a project to the daily clutter, you chose yourself. If helps to not feel overwhelmed and it can store tasks.

Its not that good for lists of things imo, its better for for timetracking. But you can create a task and easily do subtasks and use it as a list. Also I think it is installable via docker but I don’t know, I havent used docker, but a search gave some results.

I think it’s way too rare for brave to catch strays like this. Like it’s only at some nieche comment section where one person says things like “yea the founder is a homophobe”. I only ever see praise about it (and some people calling it scammy here on lemmy lol)

I played a few when they first popped up and the logical flaws in them are clear as hell AI slop. I wish I could remove developers from my f-droid client somehow

I recommend everyone tonuse an adblock and switch off of big tech products because fuck them

Bro says I can’t read when I say “the authors use of m-dashes” and thinks I mean you.

I know but I encounter the word swap only there and its annoying

I don’t know what you are on about, the author writes 1-2 of these articles per day and that is just not a speed at which you can write articles with that density of citations. I use AI because I am fucking tired of reading AI slop articles by someone who wants me to sell AI thoughts as their own.

But here you are just saying “AI won’t do this” as your sole reason why you and the article are not AI. Show me where the annoying frequency of “it’s not this – it’s that” in that article is human made. yea sure human can do that too, but when I look up articles from websites with an AI policy vs no AI policy there are often two distinct differences: the frequency of articles by a single author And the usage of “it’s not this – it’s that” and m-dashes, because they don’t follow that pattern in every damn paragraph and use m-dashes are completly different places most of the time.

Bot behaviour to defend youself not being a bot btw.

I dislike swap solely because it gets used and when I accidentally open the same file twice then I regularly encounter problems with swap files when opening the file again later.

AI ass article. The content might be good but its still AI slop

based setup

Yea, im stuck with not flashable phones sadly amd everytime i read something on here I get kinda sick

Do people here still have their smartphones or are these things the first on the microphone hitlist?

Please don’t make us visit twitter. Windscribe makes some transphobic statement in that tweet.

Wanted to say I will move to ivpn when mullvad runs out, but seems like the whole comment section already agrees on airvpn and ivpn

You are just able to say that because you spend 100+$ on the pre-installed OS. You could also spend the same amount for an IT person to install you linux and then have a very stable time anyways. Linux doesn’t force you to update, if something breaks you don’t need to interact with it. On many distros there are system backups preconfigured, if something breaks you can roll back pretty easily. There is a trade-off, ease of use and ease of fix. Linux is way easier to use, thanks to no bloat and package manager, but slightly harder to fix when a problem occurs, because you have to interact with the system. And to be honest, the system isn’t as scary. Documentation is often enough, but if you are lazy and want the fix currated there is AI to help you.

That is what I based my statement on. Cachy has consistently 1000 more page hits compared to mint.
