Zero data retention

I want AI in my browser, as long as it is zero data retention (edit: used ZDR) and hosted in Europe with local hosting as an option. AND if it can be fully turned off.

Can be solved like this: A percentile/percentage of wealth or percentage of income. Whichever is highest.

For me its about skipping mostly transactional human interactions. Like most efficiency gains for me, I get more time with those I want to spend time with, and hobbies.

It is important to note that I am not a typical person in this regard, I spend a lot of time and effort to remove friction (save time) day to day.

If it did a good reliable job, 200€-400€ I’d rather just go to the bathroom, put something on, and wait for a short while, and then have a good haircut. Going to a barber and planning etc is a lot more work

Converting my family into nudists does not seem to be the right solution here.

However, the idea of trying to reduce the amount of clothes that are worn daily might be on the right track.

The conflict between your mother and brother is not your concern. Your job is not to take any side. The drama is not yours.

The expectation is to attend weddings of close family.

By going you are not siding with your brother.

By not going you are however siding with your mother.

This is because unless there were a conflict between your mother and brother you would attend.

No, unless you want to play GTA 6 before it gets to PC.

Judgemental was not my intention. Everyone has their own set of circumstances. The point is that many including myself should take better care of ourselves for our children, that is one of the better things we can do for our children. I also have a chronic illness that limits my ability, but I am not saying that our circumstances are the same.

You getting to the point of being “stable” as you said, IS taking care of yourself. That is love towards your family and yourself. That is doing everything you can for your children and family!

I could have added some more context in the description to clarify, sorry about that.

Congratulations on the weight loss, I have also struggled with weight and am happy to say that I have lost about the same, and it feels a lot better. It is hard, but keep going until you are at a healthy weight!

I am also skeptical of many trends, especially short form videos. I find it surprising if there is no positive trends also.

Yep, and it signifies emotions in a way emojis can’t.

Sending voice instead of text to friends

Looks fun, will definitely play it after I am done with Ultrapool (recommended on tablet)

First off, you are already doing a lot by just living in an apartment, more than most.

I am lazy, and I try to prioritize the most effective solutions. People might disagree, but if it is not very effective I don’t do it. I do not agree with the “everything little thing helps”. It’s not a sustainable way of living in a world that does not make it easy to do the right things. It’s better to focus on high impact areas and stop there.

I do

• I live in an apartment
• I do not own a car, and just use the rare taxi
• I try to buy and sell used items as much as is reasonable
• I rarely travel by plane
• Eat more vegetarian than before

I do not

• I do not recycle plastics, it is too bothersome and I doubt that it even helps much. Sometimes already clean plastics are recycle. It’s already being used to heat apartments by burning it at the optimal temperature for low emissions anyways.

• I do not grow plants for other reasons than aesthetics and herbs. As long as it does not actively harm insects or similar.

• I do not avoid using the cloud. It’s to bothersome running things at home. I just want to set and forget

Thirty-something Norwegian here. I am born into a rich, relatively functioning social democracy with a good welfare state. Buying my own home was a real struggle, even with a good salary. Many of my peers will never own, my younger friends will struggle to ever own, or never.

Unfortunately the welfare state is eroding, prices for everything is increasing heavily, and the private sector is a growing leech on the state.

It’s common in Norway for women to breastfeed in public. At restaurants, cafes, benches outside, shopping malls, pretty much anywhere. My wife even breastfeeds on the subway. The buss does not feel safe enough though due to shaking, potential for collisions etc. If the baby wants food, she gets food. There is some exceptions, but not many. The only times we use bottles is if my wife wants to go out dancing, and I watch the baby.

Thank you <3

I always bring her a small towel, a clean pacifier, some wet towels, and often some tea and/or snacks.
