I rewatched this movie just a few days ago 😄

I fully agree with this, it’s all about how you choose to look at things, with the right outlook most tasks can be enjoyed

They also use their phones a lot to harass each other, they can film, and take pictures of any other kid at school and post it online to harass them. Bullying has been really increasing thanks to phones in schools.

I don’t know whether you were satiric or not, but it feels like it, hard to tell on a text medium. No hard feelings either way 😄

If you were “mocking my post in a satiric way”: I didn’t mean to say that nothing should be done or that it was not a reason to worry. I actually believe we should protect our ecosystems, but I think we need accurate data and this kind of posts, even if they convey the “right” message according to me, are misleading and create false information about what is going on. I truly believe we should try to avoid doing this.

I was worried so I looked for the source of the information, it seems to be from 'Washington State University" from their website they say it concerns “Commercial honey bee colony”, so it might not be all bees (I don’t know enough to say what the difference is exactly), they say “60 to 70% losses” (not 80), and they also say “Over the past decade, annual losses have typically ranged between 40 and 50%.”, so it is probably worrying but not as much as the CBS article was making it seem.

Recently bought a CharaChorder, haven’t mastered it yet but it is promising.

I bought a Charachorder recently, haven’t had enough practice to master it yet, but it looks very promising.

I used Plex before I got tired of it requiring a remote network connection to work in my home network (no remote). I switched to emby a few years ago, and I’m tired of it too: Subtitle is a pain, filtering is a nightmare, integration with sonarr/radarr and configuration is annoying…

I’ve started developing my own streaming server, playback is working nice through the browser from server to tvlaptop. I’m going to integrate Transmission UI into it, and show/movie management, to get rid of sonnarr/radarr and maybe I’ll manage to get rid of jackett too, so tired of this cumbersome stack. I want it all integrated into a single server with a single interface.

Most people are not us-citizens.

This is the first comment I see that actually answers the question. Why on earth are people down voting is beyond me…

Now though, I’d love to get more details about the thought process as I myself never preorder anything ?

Edit : I’ve seen your answers to other comments, I guess it makes sense, all good reasons

Is this an ad ?

It will likely still be used for training, but it will spit it back censored

You are still on the acid trip, just ride it until it’s over. It’ll be more fun if you just let it do its thing.

For a second I thought I saw my name and was confused what this had to do with me :-D

😂 Surely some devs saw it coming and their manager were adamant they needed this feature in the firmware.

I think that no amount of anecdotal evidence would be enough. For a very long times doctors had anecdotal evidence that bloodletting saved patient, yet they were fooled by their bias. I’m not saying advertising isn’t spying on our microphones, I don’t know, it might be. But it doesn’t seem very plausible to me: the amount of processing necessary, and the amount of network seems way too high. Also, voice recognition is still not great currently, it was even worse years ago.

Lookup “wild haggis” on youtube

You meant “chocolate cigarette” for your analogy, I remember they used to exists when I was a kid, don’t know if they still do.

But poker is only a gambling game because when you play it you “give up” something of value in the hope of winning more through playing and randomness. What makes it gambling is not the cards or the chips it’s the gambling aspect. Balatro uses card and poker hands, and so does “yatzhee”, but it does not use any gambling mechanic. Lootboxes on the other hand use gambling mechanic.

Yes of course, it was just a recent example to show that other countries aren’t perfect. I agree with the general message of the post, the us have a very fucked up system that is way worse than in Europe.

You can look at my other comment for more detail about why I felt the need to react.
