That’s a great solution. It think we were talking more about people that don’t even use PCs. Older people like grandparents or other tech illiterate that maybe use a tablet at most.

Right… but the discussion is specifically about how Apple is pretty much the only consumer friendly TV device available right now. Hopefully a new, better one comes along but to your point, that one will eventually be shit too soooo idk whats the point its all going to burn

The creepiest thing mine has done is have the Peanuts cartoon screensavers be relevant to the weather in my area. Seeing Snoopy and Woodstock get blown around on a windy day is oddly nice haha

I don’t actually know its happening, I might just be more aware of the windy cartoons or rainy cartoons when I’m actually experiencing that weather 🤷‍♂️

I think it’s important to note that quote was from 2015.

Parachutes need altitude to work and it doesn’t sound like they got much after takeoff.

I have uBlockOriginLite working with Safari on iOS just fine. I don’t use Firefox much on mobile because Safari works fine for me in that context but I assume it would work in Firefox too.

Not directly related to the girlfriend aspect but his quote about sycophancy with AI is good to hear:

Quite the opposite, because as you may know, if you use many of the existing chatbots, they’re really focused on engagement to a large degree. And sycophancy, right? They kind of want to pull you in. They might encourage you to reveal things about yourself, and then use that as a basis to establish a connection. We view it quite the opposite. I mean, the way that we have designed Siri, Siri really wants to say ‘Listen, that’s not what I’m here for, right? I’m here to help you. I can help you get things done. I can help you learn about the world.’ But if you try to engage Siri as a romantic partner, Siri’s not up for that. Siri’s 100 percent not into that.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to just have geo-based communities for that? Like ‘australian-politics’ or ‘seattle-news’? The functionality is already there it just isn’t being used.

At first I thought maybe this was an FBI vs. CIA thing but nope. CIA actually sniffed this out themselves and turned it all over to the FBI.

Agreed. I stopped vaping a few years ago but the rhetoric around candy/fruit flavors was already starting. It was insane to listen to it like kids are the only things on the planet that enjoyed those flavors 🙄

Depends on context really. If you’re looking for a hosted solution similar to Github, Gitlab is much more expensive. Our team was on a self-hosted version of Gitlab but needed more change control around PR reviews and merging. We moved to Github and got that for $4 per user per month where that same functionality would’ve cost ~$30 per user per month on Gitlab. That’s a crazy price difference and was easily worth the migration to Github for our use case.

ah okay, didn’t realize that. Sounds like mullvad just isn’t a good fit for my use case.

It’s probably been a year or so since I’ve given Mullvad another try, so maybe it’s time I do that soon.

I really wish I could use them but it never works with my streaming services. I’ve had to stick to Proton or NordVPN for reliable streaming :(

Yeah, I would love to be able to setup something in Apple Music that would load in the NPR news breaks that happen regularly throughout the day into my music playlists.

Kids can’t actually get access to the internet on their own. You have to purchase an internet connection of some sort via a provider and kids can’t do that. Public access, like libraries, would have to use ID/age verification in person, sure. But not the general internet. That responsibility falls to the parents of the children and you can create whatever punitive laws you want to punish and hold parents accountable for preventing their kids from accessing the internet.

It’s literally the same thing we do with prescription drugs and alcohol. Some people have to lock them up, but mostly those bottles are unlocked and accessible to kids all over the world and we expect the parents to do the gatekeeping and then punish/hold the parents accountable when they don’t.

The parents have the responsibility of enforcing it and that’s it, that’s enough.

If you want to add laws to say that parents that fail to keep their kids off the internet can lose their kids, fine idgaf. Create whatever you want to hold parents accountable but as parents, this is THEIR problem.

I’m sick of this. If it’s that big of a deal, we just need to ban kids from the internet. Full stop. No intermediary measure will be good enough.
