That process gave you more technical troubleshooting experience than 98% of my coworkers would ever try.

I clicked the link just to get a brief look at this video and ended up watching the whole thing and subscribing to Benn Jordan. Thank you for sharing!

Reddit greatly benefitted from the DIGG implosion (Reasons include issues with power users, censorship, redesigns, etc.) around I want to say 2012 +/-. Similar to how this site benefitted from the Reddit API implosion the other year. For social media applications, success usual comes from a halfway-decent platform + lucky timing. (This is all from memory, so apologies for any inaccuracies and generalizations.)

Cops? Probably not. The FBI and/or some other intelligence department? Probably.

People change at the speed of convenience. They are generally willing to put up with a convenient shitty product over being inconvenienced. And yes, switching to a superior product is often an inconvenience.

Go through all my RPG saves and use all the super powerful items I’ve been “saving” to finally see what they all do.

Wait, using Sick Time for doctor visits isn’t the norm? Damn, I guess I’ve been spoiled by unions my whole career.

Second for GNUCash - there’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to it, it works great!

Some people work to live, others live to work. Personally, I enjoy having a life completely separate from my career. I don’t know anyone who sits around Sunday afternoon saying, “All right, it’s almost MONDAY! Glad I got through the weekend!” And I like sleep, sleep is good.

It’s not specifically what you are requesting, but your comment reminds me how much I enjoy Fallout Radio. Great songs interspersed with fictional hosts discussing all manner of things. It’s just so nice to haveusic broken up with a little bit of banter.

One of the greatest examples of the work and detail that went into the recent Fallout London mod are the custom radio stations with their fun hosts.

My understanding is that Net Neutrality is not the same as privacy. The first is concerned with providers not discriminating against the data being sent/received. The second is about tracking all the data that is being sent/received (and more).

Very interesting video, I had no idea the level of redundancy built into QR codes. Thanks!

Do you have some reason why you think they will be bankrupt and/or split up?

I wouldn’t hold my breath for a bankruptcy - Disney has Gross profits of ~30 Billion a year and net profits of ~2-5 Billion a year. Even if their lawyers become completely incompetent and allow them to be sued for max penalties every month of the year, it wouldn’t even be a drop in the bucket.

Is there a website or resource that describes this in more detail? First I’ve ever heard of a cracked .IPA

Wow, that video. [Almost dies] “Lol, I’m the main character of my narrative so I’m not going to ever get seriously hurt!”

LLMs can also be helpful when your actual feelings should NOT be conveyed. For example, I can have a genuine response to someone along the lines of, “You are dumb for so many reasons, here are just a few of them that show you are out of touch with what our product can do, and frankly with reality itself. {Enumerated list with copious amounts of cursing and belittling}” Ok LLM, rewrite that message using professional office language because I emotionally refuse to.

The truth is SO MUCH WORSE than that. (Last Week Tonight segment on it) TL:DW - all of the initial payments only go to the insane interest they are already planning to charge you, then when you’ve paid back the amount of the original loan (all as interest, so not even denting the principal yet), then they jack up the cost even more. Scum.

When a car crashes, there’s usually a magnitude less people impacted then when a plane crashes. But you know what? Air travel is still much, much safer than car travel. Large but infrequent incidents can be much less dangerous than smaller but more common incidents in the aggregate.
