Is it possible to upload the consciousness of your mind into a computer? – Amreen, age 15, New Delhi, India. The concept, cool yet maybe a little creepy, is known as mind uploading

The process of uploading your mind is mind uploading, very creative…

I am once again called to praise orgzly.

The idea is simple, it keeps all your info in plain text files on device. It allows tags for whatever you need, recipes, articles, books to read, whatever you like.

Keeping it in sync with a PC is possible in several ways, I use syncthing.

It is for sure not the easiest solution, but it’s all open source, all plain text and gets the work done.

P.S. on PC I use logseq to edit my org files, but there are other options.

P.S.2 I read the question again and I had missed the part with the e-reader. I doubt my approach will help there, but I will leave the comment in case it is helpful to someone.

What does it matter, the rest didn’t bribe them anyway…

I use my note taking app with a specific tag for “read later”

How does the hot water and soap help?

Or use a straw…

Ah so cool, but is there an open source alternative?

Or people willing to have their children for some reason…

The last sentence is in bucks bunny’s voice

All of it

Not about technology

Intended to do it long time ago, finally committed!

I have spent way too much time on lemmy this past two years, it is worth the money.

Had this link in my clipboard for a different comment but it fits here as well: https://hackaday.com/2025/04/09/self-hosting-a-cluster-on-old-phones/

In all honesty this may be a bit advanced depending on your experience and more importantly nerves, but any old PC/laptop can be turned into a server.

As for parameters I would suggest you go to the apps you plan on running and check their minimum requirements.

The most annoying thing for me with Teflon was that in two years or so it is no longer nonstick, so your pans have essentially an expiration date.

Not to mention that it will be scratched and danger to you and all around you long before that.

I preach the gospel of our lord and savior stainless steel pans!

Ok yeah AI is a broad collection of algorithms, but most people when hear AI will think the current iteration of llm models. That’s how I used it.

Given up? I am not sure we even tried and with good reason, it’s a dumb technology based entirely on hype.

You are assuming they can create malware, I would doubt that…

Again, the current prison system doesn’t work to reintegrate inmates into society. That is the biggest difference. I would love to hear your views?

Ok, what do you propose?

Very glad you asked!

Rehabilitation centers aiming at helping these people and reintegrating them into society instead of punishing them.

I think we lost the story with our prison system, currently it only punishes and that helps no one IMO.

I do not believe people just wake up and decide to do crime, there are usually systemic problems that leaves them no options. If I am starving I will also steal. So punishing me will do nothing there will be other starving people and they will steal too. Understanding these people and the problems and decisions that led them on this path is vital if society is to exist IMO.

The good thing is that some Nordic countries are with a similar viewpoint so there are some attempts at improving the prison system. Article

The bad thing is that america exists and if you read anything on the American prison system they look horrendous, if you read a bit more you will know it’s just slavery.
