Jk idk

Mmmm…. I think the title may be a bit strongly worded, but the concept that a big data company like Google isn’t doing what you expect them to be doing with your data…. Despite clear efforts to do so… that’s kind of concerning.

Like it’s cool that they have this DB and that things like this are getting fixed, it might be nice if they were more transparent about this… but it seems like they’re trying. And yet, so many privacy issues crop up due to the shear quantity and variety of data they process.

But to automate the front door unlocking, it needs to be detectable from HA. Which I believe is possible, but requires a macOS machine to extract the necessary rolling code key information.

NightAuthor ,

Damn it, I trusted you

NightAuthor ,

Maybe a little…. Crazy that he got $250k off of a request for $22k

NightAuthor ,

Literally thought those exact words as I clicked into this post

NightAuthor ,

It has some use cases for the ecosystem. But it sucks so bad, give me slack, he’ll id take discord over teams, and I hate discord.

NightAuthor ,

Yep, no one likes the “post” style inside of the team space… so we chat inside of group DMs. It’s so fucking stupid

NightAuthor ,

Don’t forget that most of your email arrives at their servers unencrypted, supposedly they immediately encrypt it, but you have to take their word on that. And there’s always the possibility that they are forced or just decide to make a copy of emails as they’re encrypting for your inbox.

Had a friend turn down 4 internships when they got one at Tesla, and now, just as the summers coming up, they recinded a bunch of internship offers.

But they’re crazy, after all that’s gone down w Elon they just bought a Model 3

She works part time as a decently paid HR or something like that, has a husband in software dev, and is in the process of changing careers.

NightAuthor ,

But how sure are you, really, that the cat and rat appreciation isn’t sexual?

NightAuthor ,

Why are you gay?

NightAuthor ,

why

NightAuthor ,

Didn’t know EFF had this, neat

NightAuthor ,

They’re both pedos and should be locked up for life.

NightAuthor ,

But like… what’s the real number?

Because on the flip side of Elon fanbois is those going full monkey brain and equating any risk at all with new thing with the new thing being worse than the old thing.

Cuz there’s a possibility that actually “FSD” may do some stupid shit from time to time (plenty of evidence on YouTube) but is still overall safer than a human driver. It’s just that monkey brain says we should spend trillions on fighting terrorism when heart disease is literally millions of times more likely to kill you.

NightAuthor ,

Do you not think some of the people asking actually want to know?

NightAuthor ,

But does walking necessarily use more energy than rolling?

NightAuthor ,

I found the MX Ergo trackball mouse much more enjoyable than a vertical mouse. Which surprised me, because it seems like it’s more of a change, but it felt more natural

NightAuthor ,

Worst mouse I’ve used in the past decade. I tried it for a while, I preferred going thumb trackball with the MX Ergo

NightAuthor ,

Bruh, the angle doesn’t have to be that high when it’s stationary.

NightAuthor ,

I think the reason they’re not micro has to do with whales. I bet the whales outbuy normies at a rate that means companies make more selling 1/10th the volume, for 20x the price. The whales go hard. Did you hear that some games will task an artist with creating game-skins for a single person, because they know they can get that person to buy even at a really high price

NightAuthor ,

I started using Strongbox on iPhone & Mac for passkey support Bitwarden is still there too, esp for PC, but I may move to an all KeePass setup.

NightAuthor ,

I’m voting for Trump because he hasn’t done anything bad as a second term president.

NightAuthor ,

It’s a double edged sword, fastest patches and fastest exploits.

NightAuthor ,

And you’d have to go about encrypting your email

NightAuthor , (edited )

There’s hardly anything in the privacy policy, it basically says they don’t collect any data beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service. And then they only use it for exactly that purpose.

What do you expect it to say?

Edit: https://circles.futo.org/privacy/ios/

NightAuthor ,

I’m not sure what you’re describing…. Is that like stop motion animation, but instead of moving the subject between captures, you just change the delay between firing the laser pulse and the shutter?

NightAuthor ,

I heard that, at least some, donuts & pastries are not meant to be eaten warm because the warmed fats/oils make for an unpleasant texture (or mouth feel, s'il vous plaît)

KK though are pretty damn nice when fresh, or even microwaved for a few seconds

NightAuthor ,

I should buy some oceanfront property there.

ChatGPT writes much better than this article, here’s its response to your comment as an example:

Your frustration with the state of tech journalism is understandable, especially when it comes to covering high-end technology like the 163-inch 4K Micro-LED television by TCL. It’s true that on a surface level, comparing the pixel density of large screens to that of smaller devices like laptops or smartphones can seem straightforward. However, the engineering and design challenges involved in scaling up screen technology while maintaining image quality cannot be understated. TCL’s achievement lies not just in the number of pixels but in creating a large-scale display that maintains high-quality imagery, which is a different kind of technological feat compared to miniaturization.

Regarding the editorial errors and the critique of the writing quality, it’s clear that tech journalism, like many fields, faces challenges in maintaining high standards amid the fast pace of technology news and the pressure to publish quickly. While it’s disappointing to see, it highlights the ongoing need for rigorous proofreading and editorial oversight in publishing. However, attributing these issues to automation or outsourcing without evidence might not fully capture the complexities and pressures faced by publishers today. It’s crucial for the industry to address these issues to maintain credibility and provide the insightful, accurate tech coverage that readers deserve.

NightAuthor ,

I half agree…

NightAuthor ,

lol

If Superman (or whoever) uses the remaining distance between you and the ground to reduce the impulse on your body. But they also have to be careful about their speed coming in to grab you, because they could easily substitute your impact with the ground for an impact with them.

NightAuthor ,

The slicing forces would actually be helpful, because the resistance of the arms would spread the impulse out over a longer time period. So maybe you get decapitated, but your head doesn’t just instantly splat. So you get… a few seconds? more of life.

NightAuthor ,

I think their thought was if Spider-Man came swinging in for the catch, at that point it’s basically out of his control how hard he hits. But he could potentially save the person via other spidey means

NightAuthor ,

I don’t have the first clue what you’re asking, bc of the previously mentioned title issue.

NightAuthor ,

You knew what OP meant when they said “Facebook Marketplace”? Are you clairvoyant?

NightAuthor ,

It’s a pet peeve of mine, sure it’s not a big deal if one person does it every now and then, but some people don’t seem to understand the concept of a title. Might as well just omit it altogether with titles like this.

NightAuthor ,

I’m surprised people don’t get it. Disagreeing about me bitching about it makes sense, but to not understand my complaint at all is a surprise.

I’m scrolling casually, see a text post, read the title to see what it’s about… decide if I want to click and read more. But I get this title…. Maybe the community it’s in will give me a clue what their topic is… not really.

Most of the time I just keep scrolling, but for whatever reason I felt like pointing it out.

OP failing to give even a hint as to the topic between the title (which exists specifically to convey the topic) and the beginning of the text as shown by my app…

Look, they’d get more helpful interactions if they just used the title for the titles purpose. And those who don’t want to participate don’t have to read an indeterminable amount before realizing the content and being able to make an informed decision.

NightAuthor ,

I see how it’s possible to jump to that conclusion, but I did not. And I don’t see why it’d be such a burden for OP to write a title like “Any tips for using Facebook marketplace?” + privacy community makes for a wonderfully efficient conveyance of information. To the what, hundred…. Thousands of people scrolling past this post. I could look at that and go, I’ve got nothing for you, and kept scrolling.

Instead it’s TITLE -> what about it? -> PREVIEW TEXT-> no to what? Just using it in general? -> c/PRIVACY -> idk wtf they’re on about

I could live and let live, and I often do… idk, my ADHD meds had worn off

NightAuthor ,

I’m the guy who uses the emoji reactions that are built into outlook (for internal emails) to avoid anyone getting any more emails than they need to.

It’s funny bc, it’s actually the fact that I try to be courteous to others and their time that things like shitty titles bug me.

NightAuthor ,

Poor impulse control is a hallmark symptom. It could very well be viewed that my decision to reply was a lack of impulse control. Especially because, intellectually I understand that I didn’t need to respond at all and that I was adding negative energy where there wasn’t any… generally not a nice thing to do. Looking back on it, I see that.

I’m not sure that I agree that “owning my mistake” is a solution here.

It’s also worth noting that blaming me for worsening a stigma against ADHD is kinda triggering. It makes me feel shitty, without any clear path to improving. Unless I misunderstand what it means to own your mistakes. I generally understand that to mean “I fucking suck, I see that and I will endeavor to do better”.

Idk…

NightAuthor ,

Probably right, and they don’t need the word minimum at all

I use windows 11 and I don’t see what all the hate is for. Maybe it’s cuz I use Pro, and click a couple of buttons to hide the “news”… but it seems perfectly fine to me.

And I’m a power user, with Linux experience.

NightAuthor ,

Idk, maybe it’s cuz I’m on the same windows install I’ve been on for a few years, but there are things I dislike, but I’ve changed them, long ago. And occasionally I have to disable another taskbar thing, or well… that’s basically it.

The privacy element is legit, and I do what I can to reduce the amount of tracking they can do. But I game, I play games that don’t run on Linux. Well, the anti cheat doesn’t run on Linux. I check back frequently, because I do see the appeal of Linux. But windows just isn’t as bad (for me) as people make it out to be, and definitely not enough to deal with dual booting or virtualizing windows to maintain access to the games I play most.
