No, very much the opposite.

What is the „new experience“? Usually that means enshittification.

Hetzner is a good recommendation. Look at the webhosting packages, they all contain mailboxes and a domain and you can upgrade if the space is not enough.

I would not use a .cc domain, but look for something more reputable like .com or, if he is in Germany (as web.de suggests) .de. I would strongly advise against running a mail server on your own. There is some work involved keeping it secure and also playing nice with all receivers (don’t want his emails being flagged or even deleted as spam).

That said, if he is applying in Germany, a web.de email is absolutely fine. Lots of people use that here.

The FBI and NSA actually advocated for end to end encryption recently. So either they have finally come to their senses or they have acquired the ability to break everything easily.

Is there like a gay Andrew Tate around somewhere?

But HER EMAILS!!!1

At least they are not hiding it.

All that censorship, yet they could not be bothered to replace ChatGPT with deepseek in their stolen training data 😄

Can it generate images of Winnie the Pooh?

This is not mildly infuriating. Its incredibly worrying.

That’s the Russian way. „I don’t have control, I don’t really know, better not get involved“.

The problem is, I kind of feel the same way. It’s just too much at some point.

I call them idiots.

„Now with more cheese“ - so 0.1% instead of 0.09%?

How can the pixel density be too high?

And HDR

But what about the new normal 1080p? Has it been reduced?

And then the government spends more tax payer money on housing them in motels than it would cost to house them properly, because those funds are only available for emergencies.

That’s not exactly a high bar

It’s not about why owns it. It’s about where young people can be without getting bothered by their parents and other old people.

Well, inside that text generator lies useful information, as well as misinformation of course, because it has been trained on exactly that. Does it make shit up? Absolutely. But so do and did a lot of google or bing search results, even prior to the AI-slop-content farm era.

And besides that, it is a fancy text generator that can use tools, such as searching bing (in case of ChatGPT) and summarizing search results. While not 100% accurate the summaries are usually fairly good.

In my experience the combination of information in the LLM, web search and asking follow up questions and looking at the sources gives better and much faster results than sifting though search results manually.

As long as you don’t take the first reply as gospel truth (as you should not do with the first google or bing result either) and you apply the appropriate amount of scrutiny based on the importance of your questions (as you should always do), ChatGPT is far superior to a classic web search. Which is, of course, where media literacy matters.
