Man that’s a blast from the past; used to be one of my fav apps.

It’s the end of large scale “global village” social media - good riddance if you ask me; I’ve left it years ago for more private spaces. I wonder though how it will affect places like 4chan. I don’t really know if it’s still as anonymous as

I agree with you on train and somewhat bus but cars are extremely easy to weaponise and dirt cheap. Any terrorist trying to hijack a plane and not simply using a car (with or without extra explosives) is an idiot. Essentially terrorism isn’

So they haven’t actually put any qubits on this, they just proven a novel way to fabricate _potential_ qubit architecture. I’m still sceptical if quantum will take off in the foreseeable future if ever. Many people I talk to (laypeople like

Sure but taking a photo of everything in its “good” state seems reasonable. You don’t need to constantly update the photos if nothing gets smashed.

A decade for this kind of robot seems very optimistic. The latest one being prototyped in Japan can roll you on your side and help you out on socks. Cleaning your ass or helping you shower is magnitudes more sensitive and complex

How do you rent out your place and don’t take any photos before?

Bandcamp is my preferred solution as well - apart from visiting concerts and buying merch etc directly from the artist, where possible.

It’s true but Spotify has consolidated the market in a way that I think no other provider has managed - maybe Tidal or YouTube Music. Some musicians that I know personally don’t like Spotify but they feel they have to be on there or be invi

While it’s not enforced perfectly, saying it’s not enforced not at all is just untrue. Noyb alone has several hundred successful GDPR lawsuits: https://noyb.eu/en/project/cases

Spotify is a toxic shit company overall that is a general detriment to all musicians everywhere. If you care about music just a little bit you should stop using it today and directly buy music from the artists you care about.

Is seducing someone a cognitive task? In a way I guess it is but often there are a lot of meatspace factors at play as well. Maybe a bit off topic but your comment made me wonder. I think generally we don’t have a good definition of what i

A bit off topic but as someone left handed I use my keyboard and mouse in exactly the same way as right handed people. It was much easier to get used to this than figure out a custom lefthanded setup.

I’m sure I would be just as useless as an LLM in the “niche stack” examples that you cited. Why do you think that is actually a good argument against? Most “business” problems have already been solved in some way and the times I had to writ

That’s wild. If my bank needs something from me they send an email saying that a message is available in the online portal - or in some cases they send me a physical letter. Anything else would be highly suspicious

My bank(s) have never called me and if they did I wouldn’t pick up - it’s definitely not a standard in the EU.

But wouldn’t it be a failure if it’s bullshit and therefore no gains?

This looks very promising, thanks for the tip!

I’ll check out Box, thanks for the tip! I’ll also take a look at the newer pocket books - I only stuck so long with my old one because it worked perfectly fine and there was no reason to get a new device.

What is a good e-reader nowadays? I had a pocket book 2 for 15+ years but destroyed the display recently :/ Looking for a replacement now that is black&white, has a very good paper like screen, long battery life and allows me to re

Let me shed a tear for the business that makes 5 billion yearly revenue with 33% margin. They aren’t competing with music piracy which is mostly dead outsides of niches nowadays.

>Software developers should just open source all software they write and work for free - they can live off other things after all. See how entitled this sounds?

Most of the music i listen to doesnt exist on Spotify and I think their business model is very predatory against artists. most artists cant pay their bills with Spotify fees, they just need to be on there to get visibility for their actual

Like others said that choice is not really given in this case. Also with the government option it wouldn’t mean that you can’t still use other methods - for example in brasil credit card or cash work just fine, PIX is just one (very conveni

I guess it comes down to who you would trust more - your own government which you have some control over via elections or some (potentially multinational) corporation which you have exactly zero control over?

PIX should be the gold standard for this - it’s works perfectly for all use cases that I can think of. Hell even the homeless people around here take donations in PIX, but you can also buy a house with it. Zero fees involved

We rely on them so I would have definitely noticed. Even a couple of minutes and our customers would freak out…
