I have the “URL to restore your preferences in another browser” bookmarked for easy access. I wish Firefox can handle that when adding a custom search engine, but this is good enough.

Mullvad’s search engine ( leta(dot)mullvad(dot) net ).

Some Searx engines have mullvad’s search engine as an available source.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: My somatic reaction tells me to fear the accusation. But I choose not to. My brain tells me I shouldn’t be. One - AI or not, em dashes are very helpful in comprehension. Two - why should I change myself just for internet points? Should I purposefully worsen my grammar to satisfy the anti-AI reader?

Yes. It’s more or less the main way to get things done in a productive manner. Is the person stressed with deadlines? Giving them the safety to speak out that, for example, the constraints are unrealistic is better for everyone involved in the long run.

I was once of a more cynical disposition and automatically assumed the worst in people. It’s a very sad way to live.

I find the Wikipedia article to be wishy-washy on its content and seems to contain more buzzwords than giving the reader an idea on what it is. Better resource if one needs concrete examples: https://positivepsychology.com/non-violent-communication/#what-is-nonviolent-communication-3-real-life-examples

We have a human tendency to take safe spaces to mean “safe space for me, even if I make others unsafe”.

I would rather not. Lemmy is not Reddit.

Anime! There’s something about their way of storytelling that tugs my emotions no other medium can do.

Thank you for your thoughts. Hope it helps.

Financial literacy, primarily how to live within or below your means.

Almost anything at this point. It feels like the “first hit is free” modus of drug dealers.

Corporate-owned AI (or anything corporate, really) will be used to control sooner or later. As such, I’m not a fan of those, and I agree with your concerns here. I like community-based and local LLMs, on the other hand.

if there is too much art, so much so that no one will pay for it, won’t everything turn into a living garbage dump? Chances are, if you ask most people in your immediate area, they’d prefer human-made art if they can find someone and can pay for their services. For me, AI art is a result of a “creative demand overflow”, for lack of a better term, because not enough human artists are there to do everything.

You’ll find someone willing to pay to differentiate themselves from the sameness of mass-produced AI art.

That worked five years ago. Why wouldn’t it work now?

If “worked” mean “I just don’t bother because I can’t draw and I don’t have money, so I’ll keep my ideas in my head”, sure.
