It's been a long time since I wrote/shared my random thoughts... In fact, I haven't written a weekly report for several weeks, and I have a lot to say. Let me slowly talk about it.
It's been two months since I came to college, and let's not talk about other things, my daily routine has become increasingly irregular... The latest record is staying in the chat group until 12:40, and the earliest I go to bed is 11 o'clock. The alarm clock at 6:40 in the morning may not wake me up, and when I wake up after turning it off, it's already 7:30, which has become a daily routine. Although you may be used to it, for me who used to go to bed at 10 o'clock, it's still considered insufficient sleep, which leads to my daily mental state not being good, and I often experience sudden madness and depression. I once doubted whether I had bipolar disorder, but then I realized that I shouldn't attribute such a serious illness to myself, so I quickly dismissed this judgment.
Eighth-grade politics: Be the master of emotions
Me: Being controlled by emotions like a cyber lunatic
Speaking of being a cyber lunatic, I recently updated the Minecraft skin that I've been wanting to update for a long time. Although I only changed the head, I'm planning to go for an alien head style (alien heads are really cool, aren't they?). I also want to design a few new outfits...

These past few days, I found that I had a fever for some reason... (Even though I was dressed warmly) coupled with the fact that I failed every item in the physical fitness test, which made me feel very down. I went to ask a friend whom I don't often contact for advice, and to my surprise, this friend who usually only discusses technology-related topics and even likes to delete messages actually gave me detailed advice (honestly, I really doubt what this person does for a living). Since I'm almost recovered today, I decided to slowly put the advice into practice (although I think I still won't be able to control my mouth).
During the weekend, when I was able to think clearly, I opened Blockbench and updated the skin from top to bottom, although it's not completely updated yet, I've basically achieved my goal. But when I tried to use Novaskin Wallpaper to render the image, I found that it had been down for a long time, so I had to learn how to do it myself... But my limited knowledge and abilities couldn't even understand the basics of Mine-imator (I can't even install it on Arch, let alone use it), and there are few Chinese tutorials...
One of the characters (I took a screenshot directly from Blockbench):
The rest of the time, I just lie on the bed, not too big or too small, watching Bilibili videos and laughing at silly videos, and I can watch for a long time... (If no one chats with me) Later, I started watching a few virtual streamers and got really into it, but fortunately, there aren't many important things to deal with... so it's not troublesome.
Today, by chance, I came across this video, "Has Algorithms Gone Too Far?" (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV16u4y187Fd/), and with doubts, I opened this video that I had watched a long time ago (to be honest, I don't remember much about it), and at the same time, I read the comments. I saw comments like "Trending is not really trending" and "Bilibili is the same", which made me scared, so I closed the video.
If for some reason you can't watch the video, here's a summary:
"In the Internet age, big data has permeated every aspect of our lives and even affects the content of the comments we see. Algorithms continuously push homogeneous content based on personal preferences, creating a personalized little world for us, showing what we want to see and hear, making people sink deeper and unable to extricate themselves. At the same time, big data also has many problems, such as information silos, induced consumption, and price discrimination. We need to keep a clear mind and be vigilant against being manipulated by data analysis."
The issue of big data has been talked about for a long time, no matter how you say it, the viewpoints are already there. It's still the same old story, "price discrimination," "information silos," it's not interesting to talk about, and most of them just spread their own opinions and leave a mess without telling everyone "what should I do?" And what's even more dramatic is that I saw this video through the recommendation of big data. Now, I can only go back to watching videos because I have nothing else to do temporarily.
Big data has been closely integrated with various industries for many years, and it is almost impossible to escape from it (unless you really only use decentralized concepts like Matrix and Mastodon, which can hardly be considered as big data). And it is not wise to give up using related services just because of these disadvantages without considering the advantages. But I can't come up with specific ways to do it, I can only say some empty words like "effectively using big data" and "improving oneself" (because I am still suffering from it).
Also, during the weekend, I switched back from using GNOME in the virtual machine for half a year to KDE Plasma, and I realized that the world has become so clear (https://nya.one/notes/9lyw58vgskjw0rm7). Now I'm keeping some GNOME-related things for trial use, and I will officially migrate after observing for a while.
By the way, with the help of a friend (and Google search), I solved the strange Chinese encoding problem when viewing and extracting zip files on Linux. Great! (Completely abandoning 7-zip on Wine (I'm sure of it))
It seems like there's nothing else to say, my mental state hasn't been good recently, and my writing is incoherent. This article was also written intermittently.
Recently, I have voluntarily suspended updates on Telegram because I don't fact-check and the messages contain overly subjective opinions. I'm also afraid to write anything, fearing that I might say something inaccurate or quote things randomly, so I've also suspended the weekly report. Maybe I really need to vent my emotions.
In the future, I might continue to talk about recent situations in this miscellaneous way, with a time span of about a week, so it can be considered a weekly report, but the update frequency won't be high. I'm considering a new format for the year-end summary, and I'll write it when I'm in a better mental state, hopefully before the end of the year.
My website has very little traffic, and I guess no one has noticed this person with poor physical and mental health. Finally, thank you for patiently reading this far, and feel free to give me any relevant suggestions, I really need them.
