That’s a great solution. It think we were talking more about people that don’t even use PCs. Older people like grandparents or other tech illiterate that maybe use a tablet at most.

Right… but the discussion is specifically about how Apple is pretty much the only consumer friendly TV device available right now. Hopefully a new, better one comes along but to your point, that one will eventually be shit too soooo idk whats the point its all going to burn

The creepiest thing mine has done is have the Peanuts cartoon screensavers be relevant to the weather in my area. Seeing Snoopy and Woodstock get blown around on a windy day is oddly nice haha

I don’t actually know its happening, I might just be more aware of the windy cartoons or rainy cartoons when I’m actually experiencing that weather 🤷‍♂️

They stink pretty bad while they’re roasting though, it’s the ‘after’ that smells good.

I’m not super up to date on Fluxer and how it works but I do know that they’re still working on getting full self hosting available. Without any other context, my assumption is that’s a requirement for their hosted instance for whatever reasons they have.

Besides, if it’s just asking for date of birth, is it really that much of an invasion of privacy? I mean the internet has been like that since the 90s and it’s been fine. You just lie if you want and the liability theoretically then moves to you instead of them.

Well their original comment alluded to people not being able to get care because there aren’t enough medicines, doctors, or hospitals.

I hope they answer you, because I know nothing about what’s going on there, but I’m fairly certain that was their point.

I think it’s important to note that quote was from 2015.

Can’t be Rogan, I distinctly remember him saying he’d never wear a tie because of how easy someone can choke and control you with it. And he’s always ready for a fight 💪

I have uBlockOriginLite working with Safari on iOS just fine. I don’t use Firefox much on mobile because Safari works fine for me in that context but I assume it would work in Firefox too.

Not directly related to the girlfriend aspect but his quote about sycophancy with AI is good to hear:

Quite the opposite, because as you may know, if you use many of the existing chatbots, they’re really focused on engagement to a large degree. And sycophancy, right? They kind of want to pull you in. They might encourage you to reveal things about yourself, and then use that as a basis to establish a connection. We view it quite the opposite. I mean, the way that we have designed Siri, Siri really wants to say ‘Listen, that’s not what I’m here for, right? I’m here to help you. I can help you get things done. I can help you learn about the world.’ But if you try to engage Siri as a romantic partner, Siri’s not up for that. Siri’s 100 percent not into that.

There’s really no perfect answer.

Paper diaries are something that can be stolen/lost and they last long after you may be gone from this earth.

Digital diaries are susceptible to various vectors depending on exact setup, but local files may effectively ‘die’ with you if you have it encrypted and don’t share passwords.

ah okay, didn’t realize that. Sounds like mullvad just isn’t a good fit for my use case.

I really wish I could use them but it never works with my streaming services. I’ve had to stick to Proton or NordVPN for reliable streaming :(

I’m sick of this. If it’s that big of a deal, we just need to ban kids from the internet. Full stop. No intermediary measure will be good enough.
