I don't follow American politics very closely, who is this RFK guy and between Biden and Trump, how bad is he?

Ich hab sie nicht so wirklich verfolgt, ist sie bei irgendwas links oder ist das nur ne weitere rechte Partei?

He said that it's creepy but convenient, digital privacy and laziness don't go hand in hand generally. Every week I read about another alternative for Google Photos, so the solution is not far away (three posts down I found this for example). To each their own I guess, but with such simple solutions I can't justify using Google's spyware.

I would say because it does not use it's medium very well. It's more like a playable movie, while videogames can be so much more than that.

I am currently deciding wether to use librewolf or floorp, do you by chance have an opinion on that?

I have ADHD and don't know if I am smart, I am just really good at the stuff that interests me and struggle really hard with everything else. Fortunately my jobs interests me and I now know how to get into the flow. But other stuff like paper work is still incredibly hard for me. Now that I have it more or less under control I would not want to change, as I love the occasional fixation on new ideas in and outside of work.

For example on the one hand I did a PhD in my field of interest and it went really smooth, but on the other hand I struggle to brush my teeth every day....

Isn't there already the term AGI for that?

Not OP, but I copy my reply from the last time someone asked an opinion on kagi:

I use it, but to be honest I did not do a comprehensive comparison. I like it mostly for the fine grained website control. For work and some personal stuff I often look for code and can push websites like GitHub to appear more often. Or I can block Pinterest in my search results. I tried to do this in SearXNG, but this was too much of a hassle so in a way I pay kagi for convenience. I recently got a new job and will evaluate in the coming months if it is still worth the money, but right now I am satisfied. Nobody else I know would pay for a search engine, so I can understand the stance, but I am really fed up with all the advertising and enshitification so I thought why not give it a try. And yes, because it was recommended here.

Sorry, I meant just that, yes. I don't want to archive any chat, just the one with emotional value to me. I do it once a year, so it's not too bad doing this for single chats.

I don't know if this is country specific, but I can just download all my chats as .txt files and do so regularly, as I don't trust Meta not to delete anything and only keeping the last x years or something like that.

I have often thought about how I will do this with my child. Fortunately, I still have some time before this becomes relevant, but in the end it's like politics, isn't it? It's always about the tug of war between safety and freedom. As a father, I naturally pull in the direction of safety, but how hard can I pull? I don't know if I'm too naive, but maybe I can achieve a better result with education than with bans? If I ban something, my children should understand why there is a ban or restriction. I would also be prepared to engage in a discussion because I naturally think differently to my child. I hope that I will do everything right, I hated it as a child when there were bans without justification.

Nowhere did I imply that you said that. Thanks for the information though, that's what I wanted to know.
