Finally some good news!

Income taxes go back into services that help society. How do you expect a government to fund any of the infrastructure and services that you take for granted around you without it?

The complete removal of bloat.

Haven’t tried streaming, but I have Chromecast devices set up with the jellyfin for android TV app to stream from the NAS over LAN to any TV in the house. Basically don’t have any subscription service so these things are just Jellyfin + YouTube devices.

Have got two of my family members onto bitwarden and even that is a lot for the tech-illiterate. Couldn’t imagine Keepass+syncthing.

Ultimately, bitwarden is better than using hunter12 for everything like how they were.

That’s a really good point. So many of my friends who used silk road would be multimillionaires if they didn’t spend the btc.

Obsidian user as well. I like to think of it that tags are folders.

When you put something in a folder, you have to choose one of the files identities. Tags more or less allow you to assign a file to any number of groups.

So if you’re writing about an NPC in a DnD campaign, for example: That NPC will exist in a certain place. He will be associated with particular guilds and he will have certain moves that you might want to keep track of. You can later easily search by a guild or a move or a place and there will be a link to that NPC and others that share those indentifying characteristics.

A big advantage of zettelkasten is that you don’t need to really worry about file management in the sense of needing to make exclusionary choices.

Zettelkasten users:

This is such a monkeys paw. You have a drive with $500 million USD of Bitcoin, but the drive is somewhere in the local landfill.

Such a curse, I can’t imagine the regret they feel every day getting up for work.

After 10 years though, isn’t it just gone/destroyed? Rain/corrosion would have destroyed the drive by now.

Would YouTube get shittier if Google was broken up? I was under the understanding that YouTube is a loss leader service for Google, but I still think its one of the best social media sites on the web. Even when you consider the number of ads (that doesn’t affect a revanced user).

Yeah sure, the *arr suite in general is a bit advanced to set up, even if it can be done in 30 minutes with experience.

Docker can be the install method for windows, and the whole suite of these apps. Probably the neatest way to go? Typically one installs this suite on a NAS that’s running 24/7.

Jellyseer, prowlarr, and bazarr can be added to that list.

Maybe it’s cause I’m a dad now but this really resonates with me.

He has to be aware how niche his passion is, but he does it anyway in defiance.

He’s on the better side of tech reviewers IMO. I think sometimes he’s more focussed on describing what sets a product apart in the market, rather than judging whether that niche is worth filling or not.

Definitely doesn’t feel scammy/overly ad driven.

I think we’re almost there. Probably slightly bulkier fashion needs to be normalised to make this acceptable, but the potential applications of AR are actually cool. Meta is a privacy nightmare, but they are pushing R&D in the VR space and I think its at least notable. I don’t like trusting any megacorp with my data but its going to be a big company that makes commercial AR a reality.

If the AI doesn’t hallucinate incorrect information, I totally agree.

One size fits all classroom learning leaves many students behind, and having a personal AI tutor could really help kids fill in the gaps in their understanding that would otherwise be overlooked.

AI hallucinations is still a very real factor that limits the usefulness of this tech right now though. I magine coming into class and your tutor you had yesterday is confidently telling you the opposite of the fact that it taught you yesterday.

I didn’t even know about this but I think you’re right. I just scrolled through the Calm Piano playlist and the third song down was by an artist with millions of streams, but absolutely zero online presence outside of Spotify and Apple Music. Their about section was just a generic sentence.

I hate this. So the idea is that the cost of creating this music is less than the payout of streaming royalties if they push the songs on their official generic playlists, effectively keeping the money in-house rather than paying to an external artist… yay…

Agreed. As a person that has released music, I hate this guy and would like the book thrown at him and anyone mass releasing shitty AI music… It might not be a big corpo doing it, but it’s still fucking creatives over.
