I have been deseperately trying to find a techno song from this era made with sounds of Super Mario bros. It used lots of samples from the water stage song. The song’s melody didn’t sound like a Mario song at all. It was trippy and energetic and almost hypnotic. I loved it so much.

I’m taking my chances and leaving this here. Maybe it rings a bell to someone in here.

You guys downvote it, but if I were you I would fill hard drives with media that I like and that I want to preserve right now. You might regret it if you don’t.

I can hear the song so clearly by just watching this picture.

Your exchange makes me think about the chinese room thought experiment.

The person inside the room has instructions and a dictonary they uses to translate chinese symbols into english words. They never leave the room and never interact with anyone. They just translate single words.

They don’t understand chinese, but the output of the system (the room) gives the impression that there is thinking behind the process. If I remember correctly, it was an argument against the Turing test. The claim was that computers could be extremely efficient into constructing anwsers that seems to be backed by human consciousness/thinking.

Nvidia CEO says you’re “Insane” If you don’t outsource the act of thinking to AI owned by big tech assholes.

Indeed, a LLM can certainly spout bullshit on social media.

Skill issue

I see it just as positive vibes. It’s someone throwing a bottle in the ocean hoping it will reach someone who might the message inside it.

I can totally understand the other way around though, it can feel invalidating like behing told that sleeping 8 hours, meditating 15 minutes per day and eating well will solve every single of your problems when you have to deal with a crippling condition every single day of your life. It can be infuriating.

I try to focus on the non-verbal narrative and tell myself that it’s just a person sending positive vibes in their own way.

I backup everything I like and not just porn. It could become a lost media someday. There are so many things I wish I could find from the napster/kazaa era, but for most of them I sadly had to give up.

Eh, I’m probably gonna ditch that smartphone thing anyways, at least for a while. Android becoming a closed-off garden was the last straw and I was kinda looking forward trying to go without a phone to test if I can adapt. I started leaving the house without my phone more and more and I kinda like it.

Sure, it’s fun and convenient to have the Internet in my pocket. Heck, it’s even required in some cases, but this digital mess we are currently in is too much for me. I remember how I was looking forward having one back then; I was really looking forward having acces to the Interney wherever I was, but nowadays I kinda miss being less conected from all the bullshit especially when outside.

I guess I could get a linuxphone one day if I miss having a phone (if I somehow manage to completely remove the smartphone from my life in the first place).

Another thing him and Musk have in common.

I feel like I could… like I could… like I could… TAKE ON THE WORLD!!

I knew someone who claimed that light therapy helped. I don’t know much about it, in your case it might be worth a short. Some people talked about melatonin, but I don’t think it helps that much if at all (but that’s just based my own experience).

In any cases, I hope this winter won’t be too hard on you this year.

I have a summer seasonal affective disorder. I know it’s a bit controversial diagnosis, but I absolutely have a terrible time during summer. It’s so bad I start to be increasingly anxious about summer by the end of February because I know it’s slowly approaching.

I find daylight to be pleasant like everybody, but after a very short time I start to feel drained as if it was too much. I like cloudy days or when it rains. During summer, I basically don’t sleep. Even when the heat is not an issue I just can’t sleep.

Lately I’ve been smiling and laughing more and more; I feel much more at peace. It’s always strange to finally feel energized and genuinely happy when most people around me feel the complete opposite.

Stares in disbelief
