Is it possible to share or export a conversation?

I'm using the free model. All I want know is a quick and fairly simple way of backing up or exporting a specific conversation, hopefully in a readable way, and including the files loaded there.

Is it possible?

Some tool to control temperatures and fan?

I have this ThinkPad T430 that is driving me nuts. The fans spin up no matter what the hell I do.

I just installed Omarchy on it (I keep using Linux Mint on my main machine, now I am trying out Arch there), and even opening up a damn windows or accessing the terminal will be enough to hear that alienating noise that, for real, is driving me nuts.

This must be a hardware issue for sure. I recall buying this old ThinkPad and having the fan making horrible noises since the beginning, so I purchased and installed a new fan. That was some time ago. However... it'll be some time until I get the patience to open up the machine again and see what's going on, so yeah... I'd like to command that frigging fan via software.

Who the hell is this Steven Bartlett guy ("Diary of a CEO")? No, seriously, who is he and who are behind him?

Perhaps there is absolutely nothing here, but I wanted to post this to /r/conspiracy because honestly I didn't know where else to post.

Well, a few months ago I learned about this incredibly popular Youtube channel called "The Diary of a CEO", huge channel (16.8M of subscriptions).

It called my attention for two reasons. First: while reasonably aware of the world and the internet realm, I have never heard anything about this guy before, despite him being supposedly SO popular. Second, he interviews important and influential people, like very important and influential people.

When I mention the latter, I mean all the usual suspects you would see on mass media and the best-sellers lists - writing and talking about science, technology, economy, business, entertainment, etc. - I mean the usual suspects who are pretty obviously those who the "1% of the 1%" want you to hear about all the time, spreading certain, specific ideas. (This would make this fella a sort of English Joe Rogan I guess??)

Anyway, I did a brief search. The man behind the channel is a millionaire called Steven Bartlett. Nothing in his bio indicates to me where the fuck he came from, and how is it that a black guy supposedly born in Botswana ended up in 10 years, at 33, interviewing Michelle Obama, Matthew McConaughey, Jimmy Fallon, MrBeast, Neil deGrasse Tyson and guys even playing the fake outsider agenda like Jordan Peterson.

All I could see from his website timeline is that he supposedly dropped out from college in UK and then founded some random startup. Then he just got into a few investments and businesses - everything pretty vague in my eyes. Not like he founded PayPal, ebay or Google.

And then, once again, absolutely nothing on how he supposedly became millionaire over night.

Also interesting to notice, most of this guy's videos spread a lot of fear-mongering, with absurdly alarming and even apocalyptic titles.

Given the high profile of the people who this guy is interviewing one week after another (this guy releases like three 2-hour long interviews per week!), and the obviously high production value behind those interviews, I wonder... who are behind this man and who he really is?

Again, perhaps I'm chasing nothing but I must know.

2.0 is hell of a downgrade for free users

So now chats marked as favorites will get deleted too after 7 days in the free tier. Hell of enshittification!

What's even the purpose of favorite chats now?

Wouldn't have made more sense to limit (if it wasn't already the case) the number of chats that you can mark as favorites?

How good is dumb.co?

I've just learned, thanks to a new video from Jose, about dumb.co and their "20-dollar phone", apparently a TCL Flip 2 with custom software and extra features.

Has anyone tried it? Is really everything as good as it sounds?

Weonamente subí mi CV con mi teléfono a Indeed y otras plataformas de "trabajo". Ahora me hacen pico a spam

A ver, sé que existe un registro del SERNAC en donde te puedes inscribir para solicitar que no te hueveen más, pero desde que existe me he negado terminantemente a ser parte de esa medida tan estúpida, por la sencilla razón de que el remedio termina siendo peor que la enfermedad y es un sinsentido reclamar que estás en decenas de bases de datos, solo para ir a dar a otra base de datos (y encima del Estado, conocidos por su excelencia en el manejo de información privada /s).

Sé también que existen "apps" que bloquean llamados a partir de ciertas numeraciones, pero no uso smartphone.

Francamente creo que lo mejor es logearse en la web de Indeed para "actualizar mi CV" y subir un nuevo archivo con datos falsos. Sin embargo, los muy putos ahora para poder hacer login, me piden asociar a mi cuenta mi número de teléfono, el cual ahí mismo reconocen que usarán para hacerme pico a más spam.

No me molestaría adquirir una SIM de prepago nueva solo para colocar el número en este tipo de tonteras y después tirarla a la basura... si no fuera porque nuestros geniales legisladores han decidido que ahora tienes que andar mandándole a las operadoras fotos de tu carnet (lol).

¿Alguna idea para hackear el sistema? Y niños, el mejor consejo: jamás hagan tal de meterse en esas páginas culiás.

Cagó ahora sí Xuper/MAGIS? Soluciones pa mi abuelitoooo pafabaaaa!!!

Buenas, había leído hace algunos meses que supuestamente Magis/Xuper iba a cagar o derechamente había cagado, por infracción a derechos de autor y blablabla.

El caso es que mi abuelo tiene una tele con un dispositivo de Entel con Android, y en él estaba instalado el famoso Magis/Xuper (no me pregunten cómo llegó ahí, ni idea), pero hasta el día de hoy funcionaba súper.

Él que está totalmente mundializado había visto hasta ahora todos los partidos a través de la susodicha app. Sin embargo, cuál fue su sorpresa el día de hoy al encender la tele y ver que las únicas apps que estaban eran Disney, Chilevisión... pero ni asomo de Magis/Xuper.

En la Google Play Store obviamente ni rastros tampoco.

Quedé re cachudo, porque me consta que si bien es algo tecnopléjico el ñor, tampoco está senil ni va a eliminar la app porque sí. De hecho dentro de todo igual se maneja, entonces no sé wtf... ¿Será posible que hayan eliminado de golpe la app en todos los dispositivos que la tenían instalada? (Leí que en Argentina supuestamente la justicia ordenó eso.)

¿A alguien más le ha pasado en los últimos días? ¿Qué cresta pasó? ¿Alguna otra opción para dejar al viejo tranquilo viendo el mundial (gratis)?

Why hasn't anyone brought up the annoying spam issue?

I started using Payoneer because I had to -- I wanted to make my first sale on ebay and apparently it's the only thing they use now.

Anyway, after suffering through the whole and tortuous KYC process (hey, at least I got my money!) I came to realize that not only there is no customer support, but that Payoneer will aggressively send out undesired emails to their users.

Now I know it would be as easy as marking their crap as spam, but I always prefer to take the 'correct' path and fine-tune what companies send to me, since there will always exist the possibility of having some important notification... specially when it comes to dealing with my money.

Anyway, I unchecked all the options I could from my settings page... But they will still send crap to my inbox every other day, like they have being doing since I got registered.

Funny enough, they have a stupid and arbitrary 'clause' which is mentioned in the notifications page, where they claim that even if you uncheck everything, they will still email you for important information and "non-marketing" purposes.

I don't know what in their stupid minds "non-marketing" purposes mean, but the matter of the fact is that all I receive, even after disabling everything I could, is idiotic crap like "hey, learn about this feature!!" or "did you know that...?", so they are not able to even meet their own terms.

I tried --innocent me-- to contact them by email and ask them to stop the fuckery, then I realized I was talking to stupid, useless bots all the time, that nobody gives a rat ass and then I landed on this sub and the sticky thread that pretty much sums up everything.

At this point I decided to just block on my email everything coming from them. But it left me wondering...

Hasn't anyone else brought up this issue in the past? Don't you guys have in the States laws --or at least some sort of regulation-- when it comes to spam?

I don't live there so I don't have much more to say, but come one guys, why is nobody else willing to go with a fucking class-action?

Simplest way to wirelessly access the files of my Kindle?

I want to be able to remove and create new files in my Kindle storage.

I'm ruling out:

  1. using calibre
  2. using a web browser from my kindle

FWIW I use Linux mint.

Is it possible to preserve conversations as favorites inside a project (Free plan)

It looks to me that is not the case. If conversations marked as favorites are already being preserved in a free account, why not allowing conversations inside a project to be treated the same way? :-/

Is it possible to use ChatGPT Free from a terminal in Linux?

I don't have a paid account, nor I want to run anything locally. I just want to use ChatGPT in the most similar way possible to the web interface, but from a CLI.

I am almost certain that there's nothing official like that. Any alternatives out there?

I've just learned that jailbreaking KaiOS is a thing -- anyone here with any experience on that?

Even more, you can install apps that are not on the KaiStore: https://store.bananahackers.net/

Here you have some images of a couple podcast clients as an example, one is called mica (based on the Mudita interface) the other one is FoxCast Lite. Both look awesome imo.

I skimmed through some guides, including the "official" ones by Bananahackers, but they are not too friendly. Honestly, the whole process looks a bit more obscure than your usual jailbreaking or hackerman stuff.

I was hoping to find some friendly tutorial on video too, but no luck.

Anyway, has anyone here tried the jailbreak experience?

How viable is degoogling Jelly phones?

Hi, I currently use a proper dumb-phone. I honestly like the whole movement, and also wanted to like HMD and KaiOS, but both are dead-ends to me and I need something that functions properly.

I learned about the "tiniest smartphone in the world" and really loved the whole Jellly line -- I think it could still serve well my "no-surf" philosophy. However, I'm curious about how much you can do with the stock OS. I don't like Google and there is no way I'm willing to use something that includes all that crap like Gemini, Youtube and other spyware.

I contacted Unihertz but they were pretty straightforward telling me that they don't plan to support degoogled versions of AOSP like LineageOS in the future.

Having said this, are there other ways of having a simpler, cleaner, quicker and less hostile experience on these phones? It's what's keeping on jumping the fence and getting a Jelly Star, Jelly 2 or Jelly 2-E in the near-future!

I got a Kindle for deep reading. After jb I ended up using it for much more. Where to draw the line?

The main reason I got a Kindle PW3 in the first place was to read actual books calmly and stay away from the internet and the overload of information.

I read a lot of long and dense books on it during a couple of years.

However, jailbreaking the device has opened a lot of possibilities. For instance, I have installed an Instapaper plugin which allows me to use my Kindle to read long-form articles too. Great!

Lately, I have also experimented with manga and even documents.

And the temptation of installing now an RSS reader is just there...

The thing is, when is it too much? I think the original mission of my Kindle, of just serving to read books, has long gone since I find myself these days reading light stuff instead of actual books.

What are your reflections on this and your own experience/philosophy?

Best way of reading a manga in CBZ format?

First time trying to read a manga on my 6" Kindle.

I opened up my manga and then went to the settings in the top bar, there I enabled the Panel zoom (manga/comic) option, also disabled the top Bottom status bar.

I also went to the settings in the bottom bar and set up Page Crop to "auto", Fit to "full" and View Mode to "page".

So far it sort of works, but I still find the experience not ideal, specially since the page still looks a bit small.

I love the possibility of long-pressing on each panel and seeing them in full screen, but the fact that I have to close them and then manually long-press the next one makes the whole experience unpractical.

I also wonder if landscape would work better, though I tried it and it sort of ended up being a mess.

Anyway, what's the actual best way of reading manga? Looking for recommendations.
