I haven't played in the last couple months, but my last stardew bender was on mobile for the first time, and a beach farm! I was dedicating more space to trees for sap than normal.
I also discovered decorating the house after like 900 hours lol!
I don't know that I agree with the null hypothesis. Why is the default assumption surveillance prevents terrorism.
Surveillance is often a response to terrorism, but do we have great examples of how our current surveillance systems have actually prevented terror? And while it goes hand in hand with policing, how much prevention can we directly attribute to surveillance.
And this is the more positive attitude. General data collection for building intelligence and selling ads does not appear to prevent terror.
I think that surveillance in general is a pragmatic cost of society but we desperately need to look at the systems we have in place. Is flock actually making people safer? Is mass facial recognition making people safer? How much crime is prevented because law enforcement (and advertisers) have near instant access to purchase metadata every time I swipe my card.
By the same token, community safety groups and neighborhood watch don't make me innately uncomfortable. Nor is it surprising some people have cameras on their property or the bank needs to keep tabs on who's entering and leaving.
I don't entertain the idea that more surveillance = less terrorism. US Law Enforcement fusion centers haven't really impacted white supremacy, but sure did make it easier to target and track protesters.
I think the important discussion here is more nuanced than "surveillance is good and we should lose privacy to be safe".
I don't have a good source of the top of my head, but in general you could probably search terms like RSS Infomat or see if publications like The Canary and 404 media have RSS feeds.
I think what you're saying has a lot of merit in a lot of ways. But being one of those people who sits behind a computer a lot and 'talks' electronically I can tell you first hand I am really am talking a lot of the time - I just hop in group calls in discord. It's a lot like walking in to the social door room back in college. When people are around and I wanna chat I just go in and chat. If no one's around and I wanna chat I'll still hop in the voice channel and people will join if they want to chat too.
That's where the nerve is a bit struck with me regarding your comment on sitting behind the computer. To what extent are people actually not using voice coms - as in how many people who spend lots of time on a dedicated computer are also just doing chat through discord instead of old school 1:1 calls?
Maybe I'm also just one of those pussies who hates answering the phone, but like hit me up, we'll get together and go grab some boba if you want that one on one communication but otherwise just hop in the group chat. It's a bit entitled to expect friends be most comfortable communicating the way that works best for you no? Round hole square peg and all. I happen to think phone calls are more tedious then back and forth texting, but the different modes certainly have different uses.
The younger generation still is generally cooked and that worries me quite a bit. The attention span is a big one. A 4 paragraph email isn't even really that long. Heck, this reply is somewhere at that length. If you and I were talking on the phone this specific exchange would be like 5 minutes or something!
Unless you've been laid off and are having a hard time getting a job - which may not be many people but still sucks for anyone trying to make it by without dedicated income :/
Soon(tm) it'll be on the store. Having to build and push to tizen is the absolute worst part of jellyfin (if you have to) otherwise there's clients for every platform - even LG's webOS.
There's also finamp for music specific playback, so jellyfin can pretty much do everything
It is plainly fuckin stupid. But it is the republican way.
I think a lot of the people who don't "favor republican politics" have a solid understanding of that platform and see the harm it causes.
Like actual harm.
My mom was laid off over 10 years ago by the decision of a republican governor. The ability for schools to feed poor kids was more or less cut off (i was one of those poor kids. They scaled back 21st century & state SNAP; thankfully my parents were able to achieve upward economic mobility before conservatives in indiana really squashed that.)
Mitch Daniel's claim to fame before Purdue was closing an orphanage. Thanks to economic uncertainty surrounding conservative leadership it is likely Purdue's semiconductor manufacturing facility will not take off.
Mike Pence helped to make sure more cases of AIDS would develop in his state.
This place isn't an echo chamber because "orange man bad" or "mike braun stole my elephant ear at the state fair" but because many of us critically analyze the impact of conservative policy and understand the harm it causes.
I'll be less biased against the conservative cause when they stop going after personal liberty and slowing down the economy so their favorites can get richer. Mike Braun's leadership is hurting farmers and decreasing Indiana's ability to make sure industrial waste doesn't end up in the water table.
I'm sure there's more they are making suck but i was only involved at Purdue for the last decade, and family is in DNR - at least for now.
I wanna empathize more with the conservative struggle but i don't see how any aspect of life is improved by forcing us all to be a certain religion while ensuring we put women and minorities back at a disadvantage.
Idk Indiana republicans suck. The progressives in indiana worked hard to make sure i could afford to pay taxes but i get the gist the republicans would never have liked me given I was on welfare growing up.
It seems like it should be, you just may want to test various encoding settings for your media - for example i have all my stuff in m4v containers with h264 and h265 encoding bc i know for certain that directly plays on my apple tv without needing to transcode.
I'm sure that will be fine, but just watch out for any media incompatibilities that may require transcoding (unless your server can handle it just fine)
That could be a fun kind of ddos attack for a botnet - compromise your competitors' machines and download collective TBs of infringing material, then report it as an anonymous whistleblower!
Tbh it's just hard to see the value proposition in the age of cloud computing. I think aspects of the underlying technology are cool but basically every crypto project that comes to mind has been an actual scam. Sure there's eth and RDNR that was built on top of it but why should i spend what will ultimately be more money in periods of high demand (gas goes up when more people use the network) when i can just plug my credit card into amazon or microsoft AND get the benefit of infosec regulation like PCI-DSS. Crypto just doesn't ever inspire confidence because bad actors consistently shit in the punch bowl while providing no extra utility over existing cloud providers.
When distilled down crypto-compute just seems like cloud compute with extra steps, which is already just using a computer with extra steps.
We already can rent GPUs to run AIs with tokens - those tokens are just managed by govt instead of some random.
It's doubly messed up when considering the dealership [Rohrman] paid a bunch of money to the recent stadium renovation so they could have their name on the field [Rohrman]
I have 3 siblings, for a grand total of 6 in my family. Only my mom and I have passports. At present, despite all of us being born in the states and naturalized, only two of us have passports. So only two of us have standardized federal IDs that prove our citizenship. RealIDs are becoming more common, but nowhere near as common as a standard state driving license which does not prove citizenship.
So the requirement is going to require people to grab their birth certificates and social security cards which are not always available to every family member.
For example, my parents live out of state and have all the important family documents so 2 of siblings are screwed unless they make sure to grab those relatively sensitive documents and be prepared to carry them out and about then hang on to them for several hours.
It's impractical, and it wasn't a problem for the years leading up to my birth (96), wasn't a problem in '00 for bush, or '04 for bush, or '08 and '12 for Obama. It's suddenly become a problem because the GOP is getting called out for election shenanigans and they generally know unless they can make voting more difficult or less representative (through gerrymandering and goofy election maps) they will lose.
It does sound reasonable, but the existing mechanisms of enforcement and fraud detection have been, and continue to be, robust enough to keep voter fraud from having any meaningful statistically significant impact.
It only stands to make voting more difficult for most people.

Yes
I get that! That's a pretty good point I hadn't considered either [on archiving].
I just looked at your name too lol. That's totally fair xD. No need to manage a password vault if you're able to get by with standard telephone/sms

I'm still in that "just build almost everything in grassy fields" phase but i chose train anarchy instead.
Terminal escape
Privilege escalation
Command injection
I was just gonna say. So many good memories with my dad going to Fry's. The sole reason i went HARD into techie stuff
Oh hey, it's that one dude who was paid by Russian state owned media :D
