  • AI can put together all that personal data and create very detailed profiles on everyone, automatically. From that data, an Ai can add a bunch of attributes that are very likely to be true as well, based on what the person is doing every day, working, education, gender, social life, mobile data location, bills etc etc.

    This is like having a person follow every user around 24 hours per day, combined with a psychologist to interpret and predict the future.

    It’s worth a lot of money to advertisers of course.

    All my stuff is on a network drive (movies and other big files). All configuration of apps is in git (their config files).

    Makes it easy to start over.

    I just reinstall apps I need, it’s so simple with Linux and package managers handling it all.


  • I live in Sweden. It was common with ethernet connections in the apartments when I was growing up. So not a time machine. But I could be getting the exact year wrong a little bit.

    And it was 10 mbit connections, so that’s just about 1 mbyte / second. Still plenty fast when it arrived.

    Today I have 500 mbit connection with option for 1000 mbit. It’s common here.

    Edit: I asked chatgpt and it was 1999 that the first apartments got 10 mbit / sec connections. So I was off with about 5 years actually.
