How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a chance to look through? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Firefox and Tab stash. If I have a lot of tabs I just click the extension button, it archives all as bookmarks and closes everything. It also open its own tab listing everything you saved. Once in a while I revisit the names and decide what to do: save in Joplin if it is an article interesting enough to be saved, save the video if I like it enough, or just delete it.

Just a side note: by default Tab Stash hides the tabs instead of closing it so you can recover it faster. Change it to "close immediately" to free some memory instead.

What is in for the antivax in a government? (lemmy.world)
 

I saw the whole RFK and CDC debacle, how the agency is being weaponized to be antivax, and I cannot for the life of me understand what is happening. What does RFK has to gain with stopping vacines? What does the government gains from it? It cannot be just for show political streght, is it? Just to say "ha, in your face!" and then cause huge troubles for themselves down the road? There must be something they will have right now. But what is it? Money? Contracts? Favours?

What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I know exactly what I need my phone for: music, maps, banking, messaging, books and sometimes traveling. Anything else I have is a distraction that I'm addicted to have.

You know what keeps me from binning it? The FOMO, and not being able to hold conversations with friends and coworkers because I'm would not be tuned to the latest trends and happenings, and that sucks.

Reminds me of the ancient Motorola Cube. I had one and loved the little thing.

I second this, I rely too much on Firefox and its sync features to give up just yet.

Because the CEOs will biy the new people. Better to off both.

How does ads generate money for the ones who display it? (lemmy.world)

And couldn't I just fake the times someone saw my ads to get more money? How is that effective? As an advertiser do I have to just trust the ones seeking ad space?

Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 33 points 6 months ago (5 children)

I'm divided because on one side AI is taking away many jobs that now outputs low quality shit. On the other hand, AI may allow small creators to see their vision become real with tight budgets, specially in countries without a strong movie industry.

Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews in c/science@lemmy.world
[–] tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I worked at a newspaper before, there was policy to always add “reported” or “allegedly” to avoid a judicial mess. It could be argued that the company was accusing someone of the fact, so you would be sued your ass off no matter how true the affirmation would be.

Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

When I was little I always though that being famous was a merit thing. If a musician was known it was because he or she was excepcional in his/her art: an incredible singer, a highly skilled guitarist, an amazing drummer.

But then I got older and saw a lot of gigs, and a lot of disciplined and truly amazing musicians that nobody heard about... And most were struggling financially, having a side job just to get by. How come? What is missing from them that the "icons" have?

So, is the USA screwed? (lemmy.world)
 

You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm not from the US so all of this is baffling. In Europe and even South America there's tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening, and this kind of meddling would seriously result in arrests. However this is happening in the US with these people going completely unchecked. How is that even possible?!

I'm thinking about getting back to uni to get my Masters and later a PhD. The thing is, I'm out of academia for more than 20 years, and completely at loss. I don't quite know where to begin. Any tips?

And what the hell are all supposed to mean? Also, get off my lawn.

EDIT: I'm talking about "cold", not "cool". I'm seeing it being used along with snowflakes and freezing emoji, sometimes even saying "ice".
