I was today years old when I learned that as well.

This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI (www.wired.com)

When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new Windows AI tool that can answer questions about your web browsing and laptop use, he said one of the “magical” things about it was that the data doesn’t leave your laptop; the Windows Recall system takes screenshots of your activity every five seconds and saves them on the...

Do you do any online banking? Do you ever log into any sort of health provider website? These are just two examples of a nearly infinite list of highly private information you would not want other people seeing.

CatsGoMOW ,

I’m so close.

CatsGoMOW ,

Ignorance of a law shouldn’t matter though.

CatsGoMOW ,

Yes, but I was referring more generally to the part where you said he probably doesn’t understand esoteric campaign finance laws. Running afoul of a law you don’t know/understand doesn’t mean you still didn’t break the law, whether you knowingly intended to or not.

As cool as that story is, it’s not correct. Taken from pubs.aip.org/…/Mary-Somerville-s-vision-of-scienc…

“Mary Somerville’s iconic status is often summed up by stating that William Whewell, in his review of her book On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences, hailed her as the first “scientist.” But almost exactly the opposite was the case. Nowhere did Whewell or anyone else in her lifetime ever call Somerville a scientist, nor is it a word, so far as we know, that she ever used herself. By our current understanding of the term, Somerville can certainly be called a scientist, but for her contemporaries she belonged to a higher and more profound category entirely.”

This is Rocky. I grew up my entire life having cats and had a total of 9 before my wife and I got Rocky. I say that because having known so many different cats over the years, Rocky is hands down the sweetest, snuggliest, and friendliest with strangers cat I’ve ever had.

If he’s not curled up on one of our laps, he at least has to always be in the same room as us. If we are in different rooms in the house, it’s as though he gets conflicted and will lay in the middle of the hallway to split the difference.

He loves to be carried around as he lays straddled across your shoulders.

He used to always meet us at the door when we came home, and we would have conversations with him where we would ask him things like how his day was and what he got up to, and he would loudly meow between each question. But now he’s mostly deaf, so he is usually asleep in one of his many cardboard boxes around the house when we get home.

He’s a terrible hunter, but he usually does a pretty good job of at least finding a bug on the floor. He’ll sit there and stare intently at it (until he loses interest and walks away), which is our cue that there’s something there.

He’s a special little dude, and we love him to pieces.

It says on their main page… it’s basically self hosted GitHub.

CatsGoMOW ,

Because we also have words like quadruple, quintuple, etc which would break his theory. lol

CatsGoMOW ,

To be fair, I probably wouldn’t wear one either if I looked like that.

CatsGoMOW ,

Yeah I had this all set up and ready to go. As it instructed, I started it about 5 minutes before totality. It began counting down until it took the first picture. Then instead of taking pictures the app just closed/crashed.

CatsGoMOW ,

Silo is the name of the full series of books. It started with a short story called Wool.

You typically need to be a trash human being to begin with in order to become a billionaire.

Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to have been the case his entire life so far.

I have AdGuard set up at home and OpenVPN so I can connect to my home network and route all my traffic through it. Gives the same ad blocking ability but without the need to travel with it.

CatsGoMOW ,

The main reason is that it lets me access my home network. So if I want to watch a movie or something I have stored on my NAS, I can do that without exposing that service to the internet. Or if I want to Remote Desktop into one of my computers. And it’s a decent way to protect Internet traffic while on an untrusted public network.

I used to use the AdGuard app on my iPhone, but 1) I found for whatever reason it didn’t seem to work as well as the standalone self hosted version. The way it works on phones is that it does some sort of local VPN trickery, and for whatever reason it’s like it would temporarily stop working. Who knows. But 2) now I just have a single instance of AdGuard to manage and get its benefits on all my devices. I don’t need to maintain lists or rules for the one running at home and separately maintain rules in the phone app version.

CatsGoMOW ,

Give that refined gentleman some scritches.

Cries in Apple.

It’s like an anti-theft ink tag. 😂

I just got a new all AMD laptop to replace my Nvidia laptop for this same reason.

CatsGoMOW ,

Pokémon Red/Blue, Stardew Valley, and then Borderlands games. Honorable mentions: The Witcher games, Fallout series, some of the Assassins Creed games, and Baldur’s Gate 3.

Have you tried The Universim?

Sorry, all out. Only had 3.

CatsGoMOW ,

Sorry, I have no idea how to send you a message other than what I already did.

I have a Synology NAS that holds all my important data. Then it does nightly backups to Synology C2.

I’m not sure I would say that Nvidia works “great”. I’ve had numerous issues over the years trying to get my laptop with an Nvidia card set up and working just right. I’d say it’s more like Nvidia “can” work in Linux.

I just bought a new laptop with AMD graphics, and so far the difference is night and day. It just works.

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I have recently started a new position and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy in order to get your food when it would literally work perfectly fine ordering to a real cashier or shit even a website rather than having to...

CatsGoMOW ,

To be fair, there are frameworks like Flutter nowadays that let you build your app once in one language and it will build/compile an iOS, Android, and web app for you.

CatsGoMOW ,

Oh yeah, I definitely agree. Just pointing out it’s nowhere near as difficult/complicated to build or maintain apps for multiple platforms like it used to be.

CatsGoMOW ,

Hard to say which is used more by my wife and I between:

“Huh, learn something dumb every day!”

“Shut up baby, I know it!”

That sound Amy makes when she doesn’t answer yes or no and just goes “Guuhh!”

“Eww, look at him go! He don’t care!”

I never watched 1.

In Tuesday's special election, Ohioans overwhelmingly voted against requiring a supermajority to amend their state constitution (www.cbsnews.com)

Voters in Ohio went to the polls to decide whether to approve a measure known as Issue 1​ that would raise the bar for constitutional amendments on the ballot. In the ultimate irony, the vote against changing the amendment process exceeded the 60% supermajority that the special election was seeking to require in the first...

CatsGoMOW ,

Not surprising, but I’m pretty sure that it cost the state somewhere around $20m just to have this bull crap special election in the first place. Party of fiscal responsibility. Hah!

CatsGoMOW ,

The main thing stopping me is that I don’t use Android phones right now. But even if I did, I personally find the whole foldable phone thing to be a bit gimmicky. I’d want to see it have staying power over some years before I’d even consider getting one.
