more like pov you’re in germany. We take recycling management serious and joke about those who destroy humanity.

Relatable.

Ist heute schon das dritte Maimai mit dieser Optik auf feddit, die definitiv von irgendeiner KI ausgerotzt wurde. Dass jetzt meme-Generatoren das ernsthaft als Quellbilder hernehmen, stimmt mich noch trauriger. Jetzt ist es auch noch an den Machern von Maimais, vorher das Bild zu checken. Dir sei dieses Mal verziehen, das ist dann wohl definitiv neu.

Keine Ahnung warum, diese Optik sagt mir einfach nur “Ich hab fast keine Arbeit hineingesteckt, hier die Phantasiebilder irgendeiner anonymen Bildgenerator-Instanz”.

Ist es ein neuer Trend, Maimai-Bilder von KIs schlecht auskotzen zu lassen? Ich hoffe nicht. Sieht widerlich aus.

Everybody got that? …Good.

Ouch!

Looks like something near the header tank started ripping apart along the downcomer. O2 was nearly full, just a little bit of methane. Since pure oxygen tends to make almost anything burn if there’s a flame, that probably burned down quite a lot of stuff around the pieces of Ship 36.

Well OP, time to use Revanced to recompile your YouTube app. It’s easy nowadays.

BR = Bayrischer Rundfunk, nicht Betriebsrat. War schon etwas irritiert.

Lots of good advice for possibilities here, but let me take it a step back for you, since you most likely heard those written advice a lot already.

What you actually need to figure out is why this room mirrors your current inside. This photo tells me the person living there (assuming he did not just move in and set up a base camp to work from) has no need to go beyond basic entertainment, does not value comfort a lot and may live way more inside his head instead of the real world. With no need to expect guests, there’s no need to show others his feelings, so he keeps those inside.

If that is you, you are at a starting point, not a dead end. Life is a wave. Having big Highs and big Lows is normal. Having small to no Highs and Lows is possible, but not healthy in the long run. I do understand that it feels alright having smoothness ahead, but at the same time it’s so damn meaningless that even something infinitely large like death seems like just another day. Life is not about bringing a perfectly shiny well kept body to your deathbed - it’s about getting there completely burned out, tires squeaking, barely alive, screaming “Wow, that was one hell of an amazing ride!” - It’s the journey, not the stops that you will remember as your best moments in life.

So what you need to do first is connect to others outside your living area. No need to tell others how you live, just pretend to be interested learning other peoples ways of life to improve your own. It will naturally take a few tries/persons, but at some point it’ll “just click” and you can just do your thing. If inevitably you’ll receive guests, tell them you had to restart your life from scratch or something and have no idea how to live properly and ask for inspiration by those instead of some internet voices you showed a picture. Asking someone you have a connection with works completely different - do not be ashamed or something. BUT: stay open to new ideas!

It is THEN that you will receive actually good advice how to furnish your own room in a way that you enjoy. Just remember to sell on or bin things that do not spark joy or don’t have value anymore. If possible, be considerate to your environment and enjoy things for what they are in the store first, but refrain from buying them if you think that joy will be gone withing a very short amount of time.

Kenne ich zu gut…

20 years in - you’ll get used to it. Change your employer and find a job that not only pays your bills, but also somewhat fulfills you. Else you’ll definitely burn youself out. Find that niche of yours until you’re 35 and then stay with it.

Then, those 8 hours a day won’t feel too difficult and you’ll be like, “eh, weekend’s ahead, lets find love in life”. Because ultimately life is about happinesd. If you need to give up way too much time to enjoy life, your job is inefficient at giving you the needs to get happy. So switch your employer or your professsion. Heck I’ve seen student colleagues giving up studying and going for machining. Always smiles with his dirty fingers about how fun things are now for him.

So yeah, it’s not all about money, it’s about happiness.

Just stay clear of any form of drugs (including cigarettes, alcohol and sugar). The big problem with drugs is they literally make you happy by stealing your future happiness. You pay that credit back with future happiness and the interests on that credit are insane.

chocolate. I kid you not, it tasted just awesome. Was a limited edition unfortunately.

Always do backups using the 1-2-3 method for any data stored on any media includi g cloud storage if sensibly possible. You WILL need it eventually and you WILL hate your past self for not checking if your backup actually works. Include your phone, too. If opensource is wanted, syncthing is a no-brainer. rsync pr freesync for personal bulk backups without cloud. (There is no Cloud. It’s just someone elses computer.)

Another point valid for GPTs is getting started on ideas and things, sorting out mind messes, getting useful data out of large amounts of clusterfucks of text, getting a general direction.

Current downsides are you cannot expect factual answers on topics it has no access to as it’ll hallucinate on these without telling you, many GPT provides use your data so you cannot directly ask it sensitive topics, it’ll forget datapoints if your conversation goes on too long.

As for image generation, it’s still often stuck in the uncanny valley. Only animation topics benefit right now within the amateur realm. Cannot say how much GPTs are professionally used currently.

All of these are things you could certainly do yourself and often better/faster than an AI. But sometimes you just need a good enough solution and that’s where GPTs shine more and more often. It’s just another form of automation - if used for repetitive/stupid tasks, it’s fine. Just don’t expect it to just build you a piece of fully working bug-free software just by asking it. That’s not how automation works. At least not to date.

Eating. But failed after just 9 days. Cured a bunch of digestive stuff though, which is nice.

Create a household account book. Either use existing solutions like apps, go the excel / sheets route (I did) or use pen&paper with a calculator to help you out.

Learn how budgeting works in the first place. This step is REALLY important! I recreated my household account book two more times because I was an idiot who ignored learning the bare basics on money and accounting. There’s a reason it’s a profession with proper wordings and not some obsure hobby. Use youtube tutorials for that, as you will need several examples to understand budgeting in general.

Once you’ve got that down, measure your income and expenses over a year. Estimate your last year by category and type of expense, write reoccuring yearly and monthly expenses down. Create a saving expense to build up a budget buffer. You WILL need a buffer for all the variations you inevitably will encounter throughout a year. Once you understand how much you spent monthly to stay alive, calculate how much you can spent freely (pocket money). Ideally, put that pocket money on a separate account with a separate card as access to it and “pay yourself” that pocket money. Your main account should be the houshold expenses account with strict rules on spendings. It’s also where all your income enters to finance it.

If you’Ve reached this point, you will need to let it run for a couple of months to work out a lot of kinks in it. Food budget, mobility budgets, health budgets, etc. all need to be tuned to fit your needs. Whatever’s left goes to saving or pocket money. That’s up to you. Set yourself a minimal safety savings point that will keep you alive for half or a full year without (relevant) income. That’s enough buffer for most expenses you will encounter.

So after all of this you should have a good understanding how much you spend on what. That’s when you dive deeper and look into each spending category, including food and rent (often the two major expenses). Cutting out or replacing certain type of foods or drinks with cheaper alternatives have huge impacts on your available money.

The rest should slowly become obvious if you’ve educated yourself enough to reach this point. It’s all about learning and understanding, really.

Ahh! Okay, that explains it. Thank you!

Frugal challenges, forcing myself to use my bicycle instead of my car where possible, declutter my belongings (why do I even have all this crap I never touched for the last year?!) and trying out weird things in general at least once (like throwing things at the wall and see what sticks).

Pardon me, but I’ve honestly not yet stumbled upon anything you guys describe here. Am I just not subscribed to communities doing this or something? Where do you read this kind of trash?

This. Go ahead and tell everyone that you are worried about your mother and would like to see her anytime and check on her for your own peace of mind. Post a clear, preferably large, sign up front that there’s an active camera in the room. But do not insist on it. That’ll tell you all you need to know about the staff very quickly.

For the camera, use a regular old wifi-enabled baby monitor (App-controlled for best results) and connect it to a mobile Internet router. These routers have internal logs - learn how to access them, then check them (remotely, after setting up security in them) at intervals for suspicious reboot events.
