Internet is good for well-being
Is the Internet bad for you? Huge study reveals surprise effect on well-being
A survey of more than 2.4 million people finds that being online can have a positive effect on welfare.
A global, 16-year study1 of 2.4 million people has found that Internet use might boost measures of well-being, such as life satisfaction and sense of purpose — challenging the commonly held idea that Internet use has negative effects on people’s welfare.
Stop Using The Fritz Box Domain Suffix
Fritz.Box Domain is not owned by AVM and Fritz Boxes configure it as a default domain suffix via DHCP. So either don’t allow it to overwrite your resolv.conf or stop using your Fritz Box DHCP. And use alternative DNS Servers.

TL;DR: Every Fritz!Box has been compromised by DNS hijacking and using a Fritz!Box is unsafe. Every user of a Fritz!Box should immediately stop using their Fritz!Box or set up their own DHCP server.
edit: looks like they even redirected it to an NFT site sometime early this year according to heise.de. So it’s even worse than I thought. No idea if they now bought it or who owns it. Just play it safe and make sure you don’t use the suffix anywhere.
The Wi-Fi only works when it’s raining
That’s what my dad said when I asked what was wrong with our home internet connection. “The Wi-Fi only works when it’s raining”
Let’s back up a few steps, so we’re all on the same page about the utter ridiculousness of this situation.

xz-utils was compromised
Mit starken Worten und Superlativen gilt es in Fragen Computersicherheit immer sparsam umzugehen, nicht jede schlimm klingende Lücke stellt in der Realität auch eine Bedrohung dar. Bei dem, was nun rund um eine viel genutzte Open-Source-Komponente bekannt wird, können die Worte aber gar nicht stark genug sein. Geht es dabei doch um den jahrelang vorbereiteten Versuch, eine Hintertür auf hunderte Millionen Systeme einzuschmuggeln. Ein Versuch, der nur dank eines einzelnen, besonders aufmerksamen Entwicklers gestoppt werden konnte, bevor es zu größerem Schaden kommen konnte

ChatGPT Gets Memory
That’s what OpenAI’s latest release is supposed to provide. The company is starting to roll out long-term memory in ChatGPT—a function that maintains a memory of who you are, how you work, and what you like to chat about. Called simply Memory, it’s an AI personalization feature that turbocharges the “custom instructions” tool OpenAI released last July

Spirals :)
The Downward & Upward Spiral of Health & Productivity
https://zenhabits.net/upward/
Here’s the key: ask yourself which spiral you’re on right now.
Are you on the upward spiral? Keep going! Make one small change at a time, continue to help yourself feel better and better, work on your habit and mindfulness skills, and you’ll only get better at this over time.
Are you on the downward spiral? Ah, well, it’s good to recognize that. And it’s important to remember that you can turn it around. I turned my spiral upward, and many others have too. You can do this.

AGI Achieved ??? xD
Gemini Announcement
Holy… what is going on?
Okay let’s wait on some facts here. But now it’s starting to get interesting. Reuters already spreading AGI rumours. I doubt openAI has AGI, but they have something. If it’s actually AGI and Jimmy Apples was right, it’s gonna be wild.
According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati mentioned the project, called Q*, to employees on Wednesday and said that a letter was sent to the board prior to this weekend’s events.
After the story was published, an OpenAI spokesperson said Murati told employees what media were about to report, but she did not comment on the accuracy of the reporting.
The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q* (pronounced Q-Star), which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup’s search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.
