Oh, I need this thread. I've been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.

What the hell? Every bit of resume advice I've ever gotten has said to use PDF to protect from potential formatting errors due to display differences.

Everyone blames food/diet/portions for this, but personally I think the car-centric culture should also bear a large portion of the blame.

When I stayed with friends in Europe, they easily ate as much as my American friends, but everywhere we went we were either walking or biking.

Meanwhile, in the VAST majority of the US, if you so much as want a safe place to walk that isn't adjacent to the pervasive pedestrian-hostile street design, you need to take a car to get there.

American car culture essentially turns the average routine into ferrying oneself from chair to desk to chair to bed, intermixed with brief walks throgh scenic parking lots.

We need to counter the sedentary lifestyle within the design of our actual cities, but its the american way to push societal problems onto the responsibility of the individual... so I do not see this changing within our lifetimes.

I've been trying to find a more privacy-friendy alternative to Discord but I keep coming back to the issue of screen sharing. No other platform does it as smoothly.

The best I've found is using Parsec with some virtual audio cables to avoid voice feedback.

Do people actually analyze each others visage like this or is it just because he's a public figure

I'm suddenly very anxious about every picture I've ever taken of myself

With the right tools and steady hands, its very straightforward.

I went to a conference this weekend, and it slowly dawned on me how every single one of the vendors was selling their app hosted on AWS. That's all it is. Just different flavors of AWS.

Even if you dont interact with AWS directly, every business needs business services - you can bet that no matter what you're buying or who you're buying it from, some of your money is going directly to AWS marketplace.

Oh man. If I need to download an app to pay for a meal I'm never going back to that place again.

Sounds like another reason to standardize easily replaceable batteries.

If you can't trust a battery in a device, you should be able to replace it with a trusted one.

Incredible title

The moment my computer refuses to obey my commands sent from the physical layer, is the moment it will cease to exist on this physical plane

This feels like its establishing a precedent for widespread adoption/implementation of AI into consumer devices. Manufactured consent.

"We compute one pixel... we hallucinate, if you will, the other 32."

Between this and things like Sora, we are doomed to drown in illusions of our own creation.

All I know is that I've never connected my TV to the internet and never gotten ads on it

Not saying more sinister things aren't possible, but for my TV to connect to some kind of mesh net, it would probably need a firmware update, which its not going to get, because again, its not connected to the internet.

Iirc that's specifically for amazon devices, this was regarding Samsung TVs

This is why having a virtual number is good - my google voice number catches the overwhelming majority of the spam

Don't connect it to the internet
