At the time of my reply this post has only 14% upvotes, on this left leaning social space So, no, I don’t think “the left” are modern luddites. Unless of course you are an AI-bro or a crypto-bro (a nearly perfect circle Venn diagram), in which case yeah I can imagine you’d think that.

Fair enough but in the post I replied to you did say you won’t blame the parents “here” in the slightest, which to me means “here in this specific case”.

They already had the kid in therapy. That suggests they were involved enough in his life to know he needed professional help. Other than completely removing his independence, effectively becoming his jailers, what else should they have done?

More like SAYING you’ve made a car super safe while actually it’s only safe if you never drive it above 5KM/h and never down hills, up hills, in the rain, etc

Thank you. Glad one person has the ability to actually comprehend what I said. Vivaldi - and several others - does ad blocking on iOS right now.

Firefox on iOS doesn’t offer any ad blocking. Vivaldi (and several other) Chromium browsers do. So for a good chunk of the mobile community, Firefox is not the best option.

I hear this all the time but I struggle to see how it is true. How many people regularly trawl through their feed looking for creators who haven’t posted in X days and unfollowing them? It would be a minuscule number. I’m pretty darn selective with my follows and I think I’d do this once a year, tops.

I think creators are conflating the everyday ups and downs of follower counts on their platform(s) as being something more. And I think the platforms themselves are encouraging this mentality because they need fresh content.

Your solution to someone complaining that the boss is earning too much is to suggest they pay the other workers less (or not at all)?

I have a Surface Laptop 6 and a Razer eGPU enclosure with a Radeon 6600 XT in it and it works fine. The manufacturer will list what sorts of GPUs are compatible, assuming you get a brand name one and not some cheap no-name Amazon job.

Honestly if you have the money, go for a PC. The mobile CPU in laptops/tablets will your biggest bottleneck. Get a decent CPU, motherboard and PSU and the best GPU you can afford and it’ll probably out perform the Surface.

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing. I’ve struggled with some media not having suitable subtitles available for download.

Nah.

Yep me too. Wife was adamant her phone was spying on her so we decided to test it by talking about Lexus cars (having chosen cars because at the time she was getting no car ads anywhere, had no interest in cars, and she had never heard of the brand before so certainly hadn’t searched for it). A few hours later, her Facebook feed was full of Lexus ads. 100%.

Better title: “YouTube is cracking down on click bait - here’s how”

I’m not seeing too many professional disinformation employees in here but sure that’s a thing.

Me. I do. It’s better than the hive mind upvoting some stupid meme reply or some bullshit/misinformation.

Even easier. It’s off by default in enterprise and education SKUs.

Temperate or Mediterranean climates in most of southern Australia. We won’t usually see quite as many days (or nights) under 0 as we have this year. Our power infrastructure doesn’t tend to collapse every time it’s chilly though.

In Australia the checkout person does the bagging themselves, no second person required.

Spotify tried to shove Doja Cat at me the other day. I have never ever EVER listened to anything that would even remotely suggest I would like Doja Cat. It may be infinite but there is still someone behind the scenes pushing particular songs and artists.
