very reasonable, but i think one should keep in mind that sometimes seeing things by mere accident can mess a child up. not going into details, but when i was a kid i wanted to torrent flash (the program to do animation stuff). well, it wasnt flash what i downloaded, it was a collection of photos. photos which haunt me to this day.

i dont have children, but the "patental control" feature of nextdns improved my own mental health a LOT. probably would not use it on my kids tho, they wouldnt even know something like the internet exists lol.

late reply and you probably dont care, but holy shit, I DO GET IT NOW! i bought something from bandcamp simply to support the artist, then i got it as FLAC and jesusfuckingchrist! all those years spotify was stealing like 50% of the music i listen to! switched to apple music and god dammit ... those remasters do sound SO MUCH better, its like discovering everything new! keep the those remasters coming 😍 (but with 24bits pls, i swear i can hear the difference in like 90% of cases, made blind tests and all) the only confusing thing is this spatial audio / dolby atmos stuff. could literally not stop crying when listening to beethovens 9th and dark side of the moon, ~~but the doors were so bad, i cannot even listen to the "normal" versions anymore~~ just listened again and was wrong again, sounds kinda cool, keep those coming too i guess, no idea, but you audio and master engineers are doing gods work, keep it up and all the best 😊👌

man if only some kind of "technology" existed to securely hand over big amounts of money, like maybe the cash could be "stored" somewhere, like in a "database" of some sorts, and we could then use some kind of "unique identifiers" and make like "transfers" in cases where the needed cash amount is so big that carrying it around makes us feel uncomfortable 🤔

[–] birdcat@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

[–] birdcat@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

not thats its private, but the virtual cards from wise are nice. can be frozen and sometimes you can change the billing addeess and "save" taxes.

[–] birdcat@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago (3 children)

cant dmarc prevent this? 😳

[–] birdcat@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

never in all those many many years. imo the main benefit is disabling mails from the corp u give it and only enable when needed, so i blocked thousands of unwanted mails.

and with addy.io all gets pgp encrypted, which is another major benefit.

 

Who would have though that our dear Jens Stoltenberg is a Putin apologist; quote:

“The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition to not invade Ukraine. Of course, we didn't sign that.

The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second-class membership. We rejected that.

So, he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders. He has got the exact opposite.”

 

Is this legit?

Why no f/neo/play store download? How to verify I'm not downloading something evil, the size alone (188mb) makes it look suspicious.

Also, wasn't there another, unofficial app before?

 

Let's say I'm interested in all kinds of Technology, but literally in nothing that is being published by www.theverge.com.

Is there a way to block all posts with links to that site?

Preferably on Firefox, as I don't use an app.

 

I've heard that there is AI who can do image completion, but cannot find anything.

It would be cool if the hair was complete and would look like just more smoke or like a burning candle, if you know what I mean. The bigger upwards the better, but anything where its not cut off would be amazing 🙏

smoking

 

Would be nice, no?

Description

"The New Gurus" is a podcast series created by Helen Lewis for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. The podcast explores the rise of internet gurus in various fields, such as productivity hackers, dating coaches, crypto enthusiasts, and wellness influencers. Across eight episodes, Helen Lewis investigates the origins of these charismatic individuals, the power they wield, and the reasons behind people turning away from mainstream medicine, politics, and media to embrace their advice. The series aims to provide insight into the appeal and potential dangers of these internet gurus and what their popularity says about society.

Personal opinion

Helen Lewis seems like an absolute treasure. Just discovered her yesterday through another podcasts. Now I'm not exactly a fan of the BBC, but she strikes me as the personification of exactly what journalism should be and desperately needs to be. I don't mean any ill will towards her career, but I genuinely hope she considers branching out independently someday. If she does, I'll be among the first to support her as a paid subscriber.

The Bluestocking

 

It's the handle of a water kettle. Behind the circuit board is nothing. There is also no other circuit board in the kettle. Is the yellow thing the beeper? Thanks for any help 🙏

 
  • The Grayzone raises over $90,000 for 3 independent journalists.

  • Gofundme freezes the funds.

  • British Counter-Terror Police detains journalist Kit Klarenberg and interrogates him for 5 hours about his political views and reporting.

The West sure loves its press freedom™ huh?

Edit: Thanks for the valuable discussion, I didn't plan to donate anything cuz I also have my reservations towards the Grayzone. But you guys really showed me that I should probably do it anyway 😅

Here is the link if you want to donate too.

Gz

 

I'd love to hear about your personal experiences and traditions!

What are you offering? And how much and when, what time? And if it's food/drinks/cigarettes, what to do with it after tomorrow?

Is it better to put the offerings outside your home or inside? Or is the balcony ok too?

I put 5 cigs, a pack of soy milk, a fizzy beverage and a bottle of soda water on my balcony railing. Would also have put incense sticks, but I only have the ones that repeal mosquitos and my friend advised against using it.

(If you're too smart and logical to believe in ghosts, congratulations, here's your cookie 🍪 if you're curious, this video explains the Chinese version/history of the Festival)

 

I allow everything from FOSS that I like, you?
