I came back here wondering the same thing. The first paragraph ends with “in return for more free time” which makes zero sense if they are working 2 more hours for each day. I was expecting something later like it’s banked and you work a 4

I have been debating on switching to the shot but Havnt yet. Just to avoid the accidentally missing a dose or the chance interactions (lower efficacy) with dairy and many fiber supplements, this would be amazing. Would be nice to never need

I never made that insinuation. But "value" is critical to a TCG when the first word is "trading". Otherwise what are you trading? Otherwise, you just have a board game with cards (which exists). Which is fine! But that i

That sounds more like a legacy style board game than an actual trading card game. Which seems to me like the better implementation of this technology, anything else due to its digital nature just feels like it is going to be exploited makin

I have to wonder, in the US at least (I don't know if this trend is outside the US) most ISP's are selling devices that are both the modem and the router. Which I despise since it also means the ISP can change settings on my Route

That is true, but I think rushing to add AI features made it a completely different situation. We get a lot of MVP crap before, don't get me wrong. But at least it was understood crap. Sure it may have bugs in it and that is to be expe

by nerdjon 2y ago
I think that is the key problem, a traditional MVP is a mostly known entity. It may be missing some features, some bugs, etc. But it is an MVP not because it was necessarily rushed out the door (I mean... it was, but differently) but becaus

So, let assume corruption exists (because… duh). And that there is always a risk of a government trying to overstep and get privileged information they shouldn’t. No amount of laws are going to really stop this from happening if a corrupted

Every once in a while an article seems to come out about declining sperm count. Or healthy count. I don’t have the knowledge to dispute that claim. But a curiosity I have, how long do we actually have data for to be able to accurately say o

I see a lot of confusing chatter about RCS (and maybe that’s the point). Does anyone actually have a good write up on E2E encryption and whether or not all messages will actually go through google’s servers in plaintext? As in, not Google m

Said this in the other thread, but I am really bothered that image generation is a thing but also that it got as much attention as it did. I am worried about the reliability, if you are relying on it giving important information without che

On the opposite side, it not being seamless is entirely why I would actually trust using the new Siri with any sensitive data. I am not entirely sure I will ever actually allow it to connect to ChatGPT for privacy reasons, but having the op

I feel like I remember there being plenty of examples of bad ChatGPT recipe generation. Regardless, even if it wasn't ChatGPT, given the recent problems I would not have used that as one example given that regardless of who it came fro

Yeah there is a pretty good chance that once this rolls out I won't be using 1Password anymore. I only use 1Password instead of native because I needed something that worked on Windows. Will need to see how well that works, but I just

I am pretty unhappy with Apple doing the image generation, was really hoping that just would not happen. But a lot of the other features actually seem useful without feeling shoehorned in. At least so far. I am hoping that I can turn off th

I mostly agree, but installing Windows is not as daunting of a task as it used to be. It is also not uncommon for 'normal' gamers to use a custom built PC which would require installing Windows. Maybe normal is the wrong word, but

It is pretty easy now if you use Rufus to create your installation usb. It will prompt you (and select by default) to disable the need for an online account. I installed the Pro version and then just said I was setting it up for work or sch

It’s one thing to be critical of the feature. But this is a pretty cut and dry announcement. There isn’t any ambiguity they could stand behind if they are lying. I would fully expect it will be disabled by default (for now)

That is still my favorite background. It still almost doesn’t look real.

I find it tiresome that I have given you 2 examples of established propaganda, there really is no debate as to whether or not these are considered propaganda, that do not fit your definition and you continue to ignore those. Yes propaganda

by nerdjon 2y ago
I did not realize it was out yet! That is disappointing, but at least the way you describe it, it sounds like it still isn't there by default. Which I guess does make sense, you can install a lot of the missing components.

That is quite a simplistic view. Generally, Propaganda is used to sway opinion, get action, or similar when people may not be inclined a certain way on their own. Ask yourself this: if there was not opposition to what Israel is doing right

Do you cite a definition for every word you use? Of course not. I am using the definition as defined by Webster and every other source I can find. I am using it the same way that the pieces I referenced, were also considered propaganda. I a

I bought re-usable vacuum seal containers from Foodsaver. I hate the thing. It cannot keep a seal and will always slowly let air in, in a few days. I keep looking for alternatives since I vacuum seal a lot and I hate using a new plastic bag

I would love for it to happen since if it were to finally just happen maybe enough money will be pumped into figuring out the alternatives. But it would need to be done with a hard cutoff date but far enough for those things to be figured o

This was my first thought as well. But thinking about it more, we are not saying that all information has to be true or that someone can't be wrong. I think it is also easier to identify obviously false information than it is to identi

I do not believe that is the case, you seem to have a more narrow view of propaganda. Just look at the Webster definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/propaganda What you describe is one form of propagan

No I am not, I am still engaging in the conversation. But there is very little I can actually say when your response is that it is anti-semitic. You are no longer responding to what was actually said and instead pivoting it to something els
