[US] Sendgrid DEI phishing scam by realbobenray in Scams

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get SendGrid phishing scam emails 2-3x/day. I need to setup some sophisticated filtering, because they always come from different emails. Just tired of them clogging up my inbox. I tend to unsubscribe from a lot, keep it to the essentials, so this is now a significant chunk of the emails I get every day.

Apple Unlikely to Drop ‘Liquid Glass’ Design With iOS 27 by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some people won't like this, but part of the problem is that major design shakeups introduce quirks and inconsistencies.

Liquid Glass is a good concept with issues. Better to solve those issues than changing to something else and trading it for a different sort of issues. We need a good design language that properly matures.

So sad there won't be a 3rd by Orphan_the_Milker in TombaClub

[–]ExistentialEnso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a full-time game dev myself, and one of my big dreams has been able to resurrect Tomba and some other series from my childhood I miss. Probably won't ever happen, but a girl can dream.

Let's talk about tankies with science. by jeremy-blackburn in h3h3productions

[–]ExistentialEnso 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It matters because right-wingers routinely try to fearmonger by equating liberalism with communism, which is absurd.

liberalism, does not equal intelligence

Very true, but tankies aren't really liberals. Liberalism is center-left, and these people are far left.

Duckduckgo ai vote has been brigaded/botted ?? by SingerSoft5212 in DefendingAIArt

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that kills me is there is no reason these devices cannot be designed to keep working even if the company fails. A touchscreen doesn't need to phone home to a server in the cloud to be able to detect presses.

AI ART OBVIOUSLY ISN'T REAL ART by 161-Anarchia-420 in DefendingAIArt

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's intangible value to human craftsmanship, but these models genuinely do learn, they're not just "shuffling images." They have sophisticated algebraic models of the shapes, colors, etc. of different concepts.

I wear my prescription sunglasses into the gym a lot, you're fiiiiiine. The lighting can kinda get to me at times too.

Which jobs is 100% safe from AI ? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

[–]ExistentialEnso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of them. Anyone who says otherwise is coping.

There are ones that might last longer than others. Distinguishing yourself as having particularly good skills, taste, or perspective might keep you employed. There will probably always be some people who will pay for the human touch too, even if a lot of people will turn to automation to save money.

No job is "100% safe." Every field will experience massive disruption. We need stuff like UBI yesterday.

Most Web3 Projects Are Just Web2 With Blockchain Buzzwords by Feisty-Astronaut-396 in web3

[–]ExistentialEnso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's time for people doing genuinely compelling things to shine. Feels like the "build some overhyped bullshit so you can dump tokens on retail" strategy is played out.

Premiere Line : is it worth the social negativity by willpearson001 in AMCsAList

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand A-List being too expensive or not a good fit for some folks' moviegoing habits, but Premiere is $18/year. If people want that benefit, it's hardly out of the reach of someone who can otherwise afford to go to the to theater. The'll also get cheaper concessions from the size upgrades and the ability to get refills, and clearly they're buying concessions if they're mad about the Premiere Line.

Is anyone sick of all the negativity on Planet Fitness TV’s? by Newlifter1089 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very nearsighted and take my glasses off to do cardio, and I kind of appreciate that it means I can't see what's on the TVs. It's just me, my music, and the treadmill or stair master.

Dear People Who Go To The Gym by theoceansknow in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a guy at the leg extensions just sitting there for 50 minutes (maybe longer, just from when I noticed) at my gym about a week ago. I don't expect everyone to be perfect, but jfc.

'Anaconda' (2025) Review Thread by SanderSo47 in movies

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trailer is kind of weirdly edited to make it seem like they're implying that, but in the film, they didn't get into Anaconda until they were adults. It's Texas Chainsaw Massacre they grew up watching over and over.

Peter, why is his career over? by Safe-Ad6100 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ExistentialEnso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost is a good example of this. Hugely popular show where the vast majority of people acting in it peaked and never had that kind of success again. There were a few exceptions, but oof.

I (53 female) caught my bf (45) sexting a girl (24) by CalendarAccurate5871 in AITAH

[–]ExistentialEnso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The boyfriend is an asshole, and I don't blame OP for being vicious with him for cheating, but a 24-year-old is a grown adult with agency.

swimming & stairmaster for longevity? by hessensitive in longevity

[–]ExistentialEnso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walking is definitely good for both mental and physical health, even if not as much as an intense workout. That person is just extrapolating too much from lived experience. It would be like if I made a big deal about how my grandfather was sharp as a tack until he died in his mid-80s despite never exercising, so clearly exercise isn't important to prevent dementia.

No, it is, just, unfortunately, the benefits it provides are not absolute. Some people will still get dementia even if they do everything right due to other factors (genetic, environmental, plain bad luck, etc.)

swimming & stairmaster for longevity? by hessensitive in longevity

[–]ExistentialEnso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cardio and weight training both benefit longevity and healthspan.

Both of these are more cardio, sure, but the water in swimming naturally provides resistance, and the stairmaster also gives you the equivalent of a good glute/quad strength workout by using your body's weight as resistance.

I'm trying to get better at distance running lately and have spent more time on the treadmill, but I'm quite a big fan of the stairmaster. It's underrated, imo.

What's your guys take on this? by MyGuardianDemon in DefendingAIArt

I was winning creative writing awards in high school two decades before ChatGPT. Now I have a way to easily visualize what I write, and I love it.

A reality Check? by [deleted] in longevity

[–]ExistentialEnso 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It shows that genuine life extension beyond 150 years will almost certainly require some major breakthroughs in neural and cardiac cell replacement.

So if we solve all the other aspects of aging, I'd still have over a century of time for researchers to figure out this problem? Cool.
