Option 3 is also what the historical Luddites wanted. They liked technology when it benefitted them, not when it was used to exploit them.

Option 2 is soulless.
Option 3. Destroy the capitalists owned robots and bring the robots under the control of the working class.
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 4 days ago:
I am not a very good sysadmin. All I remember is the DoH feature was causing me problems in accessing my LAN servers.
I have it a little different than you: I have a halfbaked split-DNS system wherein nc.mydomain.TLD resolves to my public IP address in public DNS, and then on the LAN, the router and the pihole both have DNS entries saying that nc.mydomain.TLD points to 192.168.1.10 . I know I should just have one DNS provider for simplicity or do it better somehow, but I don’t want a single point of failure BC the raspberry pi has failed in the past.
That’s why I started out setting an exception in firefox. I’ve since put other LAN-only services on mydomain.tld, and I think I was having trouble resolving those too without the exception. But unlike you I don’t have private ips in public DNS, although AFAIK that’s a fine practice.
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 4 days ago:
Does DoH stand for DNS over HTTPS in this case?
I’ve run into similar problems as you, and am now in the habit of adding my mydomain.TLD to the exceptions for DNS over HTTPS.

- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 5 days ago:
It’s fine to be an introvert, but it is also good to cultivate an interest in what you’re doing and a care to do it right.
- Can I do this more easily?
- Does this or that affect my work? How much?
- Am I satisfies with the quality of my work?
- Are others satisfied with my work?
- Am I learning or honing any skills?
Not as the main focus perhaps but just to keep it interesting.
If I had a friend who didn’t do any of this at their work but was happy to just show up and get paid, I would wonder about their mental health, bc that is a lot of time to spend somewhere without caring about what you’re doing at all.

From the headline I couldn’t tell if the letter was purporting to be from tmobile or just somebody razzing people. I did not read the article.
People are not just smart on one dimension only. You can be smart and still get confused processing language. Asshole.

- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 1 week ago:
I worked at an outdoor ed place which catered to rich private schools and some wealthy public districts. They could seat 400 people for lunch service and had two separate kitchens for upstairs and downstairs dining rooms). I looked forward to meals there 3x a day.
Things that stand out:
- Buffet style, all you can eat. Staff serving you the food from a serving line. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Always had fresh food, prepared that day from scratch. Nice restaurant quality, but not like Michelin Star fine dining. Stuff kids like, bit also aduts would too. Usually some comfort foods and some things more interesting / unusual.
- Menu on an 8 day rotation with some special changes thrown in, for example “chicken waffles” day about once a month. Great variety.
- The head baker (separate from the head chef) would always be testing new recipes and handing out fruit bars, cookies, pastries, etc. to staff. These were typically only available to the teachers as a lowkey incentive to take their schools to our place for field trips. The teachers also had all kinds of booze in their rooms and had vacation while we took care of everything.
The kids tended to be super spoiled, but there were some nice ones. We bribed them all to drink water by getting them a pitcher of “Special Drink” for the table after they finished a first pitcher of water as a group. This was a pitcher of ice and soft drinks/ powerade made and layered in such a way that they made cool patterns. We had sunrise, “hulk drink”, various rainbows, etc. Staff would have their specialties and trade techniques.
I met some other educators who worked at a less fancy place nearby and they said their cafeteria was all fried foods and gross.

Maybe pedantry is not your cup of tea, but I listen to technology connections.
And the best type of correct is technically correct.
The whole reason to be precise about language is because it is confusing when you read something and go “that does not make sense” and then think about it for a minute and then realize what it means.
We don’t call them “fake emails” for a reason. It’s confusing. Spam email, spurious email, fake sender address, phishing, etc., are less confusing. Same with physical mail. Don’t be mad just because I want to read stuff nice.

Here’s the thing. You said a “succulent is a cactus.”
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies cacti, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls succulents cacti. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.
If you’re saying “cactus family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of succulae, which includes things from christmas cactus to joshua trees to prickily pear.
So your reasoning for calling a succulent a cactus is because random people “call the squishy ones cacti?” Let’s get stonecrop and aloe in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A succulent is a succulent and a member of the cactus family. But that’s not what you said. You said a succulent is a cactus, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the cactus family catcti, which means you’d call Joshua trees, aloe, and other plants cacti, too. Which you said you don’t.
It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

I would perhaps buy a valve phone but I wouldn’t want to game on it which sounds weird.
Unless it was like a switch and had detachable joycons.

Hi quaff!
The app I use for this purpose is called Notally, on android. It supports reordering the checkboxes, but it doesn’t do find in page or sync to web (although it can do backup /restore – I sync the folder with nextcloud and I can access the text files)
That said if you try it, you might love how simple it is and use it for something!
