  Every confession is a confession too, and they’ve come out and said it multiple times.

  Maybe someone mentioned this, but I’m sure there’s a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As we all should⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Been feeling this lately. Not so worried about if my comment in the work chat would be considered weird. They all know I’m weird already, may as well say what my weird little brain wants to say.

  They would never admit to the play store malware problem.

  No pictures? :(

  I don’t agree that tech companies need to put up walled gardens to protect people from themselves, but ‘what scams’ is insanely disingenuous. Obviously the scams where people, usually elderly, are walked through the process of enabling third party apps so the scammer, posing as a bank or other trusted institution, can then install malicious apps. If you’ve really never heard of that then I think you need to step outside of your bubble a bit more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  One day wait period to enable installing third party apps. Afterwards no extra wait time or verification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Headline is a little misleading. There is a One day waiting period when you enable installing third party applications. After that you can install them indefinitely. It’s to stop active scams. I agree it’s BS, but it’s a lot less BS than I was expecting and what the headline/comments are making it out to be.

  I actually haven’t seen the remake/continuation (though I hear it was good and cancelled too soon), but the original with Scott Bakula was a great sci-fi series with a full run. It’s episodic, as all TV was then, so beyond the first and last episodes you can really watch them in any order. I believe the clip is from one of the first few episodes though.

  Quantum Leap is next in your queue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like allowing users to access dev mode played a large part in this as well. Without the option surely it would have been cracked sooner.
  Which is a great lesson in and of itself for tech companies willing to listen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was only the release version of the console that was vulnerable. Was there a breakthrough in the last two days?

  Transparency. The developer lied and then stopped crediting Claude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I made the mistake of buying 7. “It’s Civ, how bad can it be?” I literally forgot it existed until reading your comment. When I want to play Civ I pull out 6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is interesting, even without the benevolent AI, though that could be interesting as well. But what happens when The Federation runs into essentially another Federation? Do they combine and double their knowledge and territory or do they clash over differing ideals? There’s no way humans were the first species to say “hey, let’s work together,” but if they ran into, say, space capitalists, we could wind up being the USSR of a new galactic Cold War.

  The whale probe crashes into V’Ger and they head to the center of the universe where they free God^TM

  That’s around when reddit really started getting astroturfed by right wing and ‘leftist’ boys and r/conspiracy became r/thedonald and r/the Donald was all over the front page all day every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which of your instincts was to read my reply before responding because I don’t see how anything you’ve said is relevant to anything I’ve said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is going on here? Can’t be an LLM because at least the LLMs responses are based somewhat on what they’re responding to. This reads more like a script. I’m getting deja vu to 2015.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your skirting of my question and the demonstrably untrue claims you’ve made aside, yeah of course there are Dems that absolutely need to GTFO. Bad faith content like this is what keeps people from bothering to vote those people out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What in the Jill Stein bullshit is this? You honestly think shit would be just as bad if a dem was in the Whitehouse? Do you need some help off the toilet?

  Yep, and the “sour” layer lasts about half as long as the flavor in a Juicy Fruit.
