You’re right. I only wanted to include the search term for anyone wanting to pursue this on their own. I think it is better to search the proper term and build knowledge from there than to summarize it and hope laymen understand the underlying principles.

I wish I could give you a source but I recall this from college almost 20 years ago. If you read into “contract law” you will arrive there pretty quickly. It’s one of the main principles

You’re right. I just want to add the proper terms for people to search for in case this information helps them. The main matters considered in contract law are “consideration and performance”. Happy hunting y’all. Take down these corporations that do not care for you.

I once successfully defended myself from a lawsuit by invoking a previous TOS. The court allowed me to choose any version of the TOS that benefited me the most. It was akin the doctrine in contract law that ambiguity is always found to be detrimental to the drafter of the contract.

They are not a gang. They are a cult. It is an important distinction.

I got corporate involved and they said the dealerships should fix it for free but they could not force them to. Corporate said that if I paid to have my car towed to a dealership 600 miles away they would repair it under warranty.

The estimates I received from the dealerships wanted $12000 to replace the becm. The car was valued at $15000 so that made no financial sense to repair.

The car only had 62,000 miles on it and was in perfect condition other than the becm.

Same thing happened to mine. Except 3 Chevy dealerships refused to fix it under warranty. Despite there being a service bulletin on exactly that failure. They even charged me for the diagnostics.

Every car I ever owned was a Chevy but after this I will never buy another GM product.

So you don’t dry yourself after using a bidet?

It was never a bet. It was him attempting to inflate the price by saying he would buy it above the share price at the time. It was an attempt at market manipulation and the SEC made him go through with it.

Yeah, that’s going to happen. The features that make website useful are the same features used to track everything. It’s a sliding scale from usability to privacy. The further you go in one direction the less you get from the other.

Mullvad also has a browser.

Does anyone know if a LLM has been trained on something like scihub?

I’ve found that “living in the moment” is the best way I can describe it. Instead of thinking about what’s next, like upcoming appointments or responsibilities just watch, look, and listen to your surroundings. You can be sitting, standing, or anything in between. Your body position or location do not matter.

Even while in a room alone, try to think about the things around you. What do you see? What do you hear? What is that smell? If you’re eating something, how does it taste. Do you feel the breeze as it flows across your body? The more you can identify and the more detailed you can be in answering these questions the easier mindfulness becomes. I find it helpful to think about the things I’m experiencing individually. Trying to take it all in at once is sometimes overwhelming and causes me to lose mindfulness.

There will be intrusive thoughts and your mind will wander. This is normal and when you notice it happening go back to thinking about your surroundings.

To me the most important part of mindfulness is recognizing your existence in your environment. So take everything you are experiencing and think deeply about how you are a part of it all. For example, the sounds would not be the same without you. Some sound waves are absorbed and some bounce off your body and back into your environment. You’re an integral part of the world around you. It wouldn’t sound the same without the sound waves bouncing off you and back into the environment. Try to understand your impact on your surroundings. Appreciate the opportunity to experience these things. Cherish the understanding of yourself and your environment that you begin to develop while practicing mindfulness.

Now take another look, listen, and smell. Then try to identify more and think deeply about those things and how your presence is part of it all.

I upvoted my previous comment and it now shows 2 upvotes for me. When I go to the original instance it only shows 1 upvote.

I am trying to reduce distractions and be more mindful of my surroundings. The sights, smells, and sounds of everything around me and my existence as part of it all.

It is still new to me and I find myself unconsciously getting my phone from my pocket and scrolling because it is boring. However, the effects I feel like reduced anxiety and depression are worth it. I also get to see things that I would miss if I were distracted by electronics.

Maybe practicing mindfulness could be beneficial for you as well.

On kbin the votes start at 0 for both up and downvotes. If I don’t manually vote on my comment it will show me 0 votes after posting. I have no idea how it appears on other instances.

Yes this is something that Kbin users can do (by selecting More > Activity on a post) and I believe Lemmy users can do this too but not with the native inrerface

I’m on kbin and confirm that I can see who votes and if they upvoted or downvoted for posts and comments. It’s really fun to use and see people upvote their own comment.
