A classic case of the shenanigans, see.

I only just found out about it from this thread.

Excellent name choices, in my opinion.

Thoughts and prayers xoxo

Unless you’re setting up your own stuff like Frigate already suggested here, I would suggest one without Internet connection but wireless video monitor. I used a eufy E110. Signal worked all over the house and picture is clear. I didn’t think any of the COTS solutions with an internet connection and app could be trusted TBH.

Yeah whatever brings positive nostalgia to people will be looked at fondly. I remember early internet fads and viral websites in a positive light that are just as dumb and transient as whatever viral content is being pushed out today. People view things in a different light and some kids in 15 years time will get nostalgic about Skibidi Toilet and talk about how “Dance Hype Craze” fell off after video 983.

Briefly joined Discuit during the Reddit API ruckus but I was already on Lemmy so I never stuck with it. It’s been open sourced and the people seemed mostly pleasant so it seemed like it was on a reasonable path towards creating a good space.

A shit brickhouse is the opposite term where I’m from.

Same.

That was the point of the original game though right? To show how quickly it becomes imbalanced and players who got lucky early on easily ended up winning.

Monopoly is derived from The Landlord’s Game, created in 1903 in the United States by left-wing feminist Lizzie Magie, as a way to demonstrate that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth.

Yeah apologies, that’s a good point - thanks for adding more context!

IDK why people say they have better privacy: They just settled a lawsuit over evesdroping using Siri. I think they probably have less interest than Google in selling data for advertising, mostly likely using it internally for their ecosystem so they probably come across more privacy focused but I assume they snoop just as much as any other big tech company.

Yeah it looks like it could be Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage mixed together.

The birth of the internet and the birth of the world wide web are two differnet things though: The world wide web started in 1989.

Title is misleading, FTA:

Confirmation that I am 63% British and Irish, 17% Danish and otherwise “broadly north-western European”. I felt a resounding ambivalence about the results, including some disappointment that I had not discovered a newfound heritage – a piece of information that would give my identity new dimension.

But also:

My father’s side of the family is meticulous about tracking our ancestry, with records that hold the name of the exact small village in Ireland our ancestors hail from.

Those results often can’t narrow down to exact countries so it says he’s 63% British and Irish. Seeing as his fathers family has records of being from a small Irish town it’s likely he’s more Irish that British, not that it means anything if you’re actually American anyway.

I imagine the likely conclusion of it would come up with would be something like “decrease the size of the human population”.

Thank you for reigniting my memory of this.

Measuring how far we have come as a society, with respect to misogyny, by determining which Bond movies are no longer acceptable is a scale I’ve been using for a while; we recently surpassed Golden Eye in my eyes.
