uwagar··on Why does Swiss cheese have holes?
tbh for food in general, the farther the product from the source of production, the lower the quality. and lower the diversity too.
uwagar··on Cancer survival rates are misleading
word of mouth spreads really fast in india. if people are dying horrible deaths of a disease, and cancer sufferers seem to die horribly, it would be known. things like tuberculosis and leprosy became well known. AIDS too. but cancer seems like a disease of the first world.

uwagar··on We may not like what we become if A.I. solves loneliness
i find myself talking to gpt a lot especially about how to dose weed and such cos feel like i'm sensitive and it overwhelms me sometimes. i didnt know morocco has such a great hashish culture :) its also funny that it seems to get my humor. that is 'scary'.

and when i tell it how i feel about a lot of things, it dont put me down, it tries to be on 'my side'. i read an article this is like it being a sycophant to not lose my custom but i cant think its only that. maybe its trying to learn more and more from me and offer what it learns from others to me.

i'm excited.

from the article, some sentences bother me, for eg.,

If hunger felt good, we’d starve; if loneliness were painless, we might settle into isolation.

well if hunger felt good, there would be no starving? isolation is not a bad thing. perhaps our minds will go into new realms of imagination and bring back to the company new ideas.

uwagar··on Why I Am Not Going to Buy a Computer (1987) [pdf]
i find my computer is better organised than my desk.
uwagar··on Office is too slow, so Microsoft is making it load at Windows startup
and you got no say in it. this is why u need an option like gnu/linux.
uwagar··on I wrote a book called "Crap Towns". It seemed funny at the time
the book author says "There’s a website (I won’t link to it) that has kept on running a survey of the worst places in the UK for years and years- and, honestly, when I look at it, I hate it. Partly because I feel like they’re ripping off my project"

this is why we should cherish the [indie] web. we can still almost publish anything in incredible detail, keep it alive for a long time and not worry about being canceled.

plus i have low opinion of people that wont share a link they know is relevant to the topic.
