I’m preparing to move and combine households soon. For shits and giggles, we’ve been tallying up screens and projectors for just us two adults. We’re at 25 so far. Proooobably time to trim down the hobby gear some.

I don’t really remember it being advertised much. And the few folks I know who saw it weren’t familiar with Nic Cage’s less mainstream action flick work so they were really thrown by his character.

Yeah, it’s just so much clumsier than I’m used to. So lazy.

Am I hallucinating or is Paramount not blatantly comparing two different things?

The boycotters won’t work with Israeli film production companies. Paramount is equating it to silencing individual Israeli artists. I don’t see anyone saying they won’t wlork with Gal Gadot and Natalie Portman anymore because they’re Israeli.

Are you talking about Kirk or some having the inability to identify what is going in Gaza as a genocide? I care a lot more about the latter.

Friendly reminder this isn’t a US-centric sub. Even then, I am in the US and it’s still too vague for me to understand what you’re asking.

Can’t resist. What did Lumo say when you asked it about Proton’s privacy and security?

Just change your input to HDMI or whatever from the computer and ignore the Roku part.

My salary and savings increased to where I’ll be ok financially if I get fired. I can’t fully retire, but would have plenty of time to find another job. The knowledge I’m financially secure really helps when holding onto my internal “this person is an idiot, ignore them”.

You can be sued for a lot of things the US. Whether they win their case against you is a separate question.

Are you aware of a case where someone attempted to vandalize a reinforced mailbox, were injured in the process, sued, and won? Were the claims related to booby trapping? Feels like these sorts of sensational cases frequently become stories that stray pretty far from reality.

And yes, Canada also has laws against booby traps.

It’s more that the latest few months of AI-related sci-fi is oversaturated with Commentary^TM and Discourse^TM on the dangers of LLMs and I’m getting bored with it.

I had known about development of the technology for a couple years before it hit the mainstream. I have been completely unsurprised with how it has gone.

I housed a teen for a while and my rules were anything had to be safe and with positive consent. I knew banning sex under my roof was a fools errand.

I also gave permission to use me as “the bad guy”. That if they ever were unsure and wanted an excuse, they could say, “ugh, Vanth makes me keep the door open. Lame adult, amiright?” They used that at least once that I know of.

They’re an awesome adult now who is far better at having healthy relationships than I was at that age.

Usually I’m a sucker for bad crossover movies. Battleship sequel with all the same cast and crew? Sign me up, go RiRi, you are an actor.

I have exactly zero motivation to see this one. Emotional DOA. I think I’m the age demographic they’re targeting, me and my peers were the big COD players, so if not me then who will be excited to watch this?

US.

Spanish, French, and Latin as an independent study. It was a Catholic high school. At least one of the public schools in the area had German and another had Russian.

I want to run a bit faster than my hiking buddy to avoid being caught by the bear. I want my car or bike to look more of a pain to steal than the one parked next to it.

There’s no perfect privacy. I want to outpace my peers so that they are the more attractive targets.

I don’t really remember why I had to do this specific diagnosis tool. I was pretty young. I remember having trouble breathing at times. I remember I also had to do a ton of the allergy tests where they prick your back with needles and swab with potential allergens and check for a reaction. Whatever breathing problems I was having must not have been as obviously asthma.

It appears to still be in use as a diagnosis tool, https://www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/lung-procedures-and-tests/methacholine-challenge-test

Reading the “risks” section, I suspect the person who administered my test was breaking protocol when they left me alone.

same wages and less jobs to go around

If we’re lucky. It’s more likely to be lower wages. “We don’t need to pay experienced programmers anymore, they aren’t writing the code after all. We just need cheaper, less skilled people to review the code that is already 99% fine”.

💯 Not about the tech, it’s about who is going to use the tech to make life worse for the working class.

I don’t think there is an LLM in this application. Not all AI tools involve LLM.

It’s been on my “to watch” list for years. Maybe I’ll bump it up to my “ok, but actually watch it within the next three years” list

Never heard of it. Not gonna look into it because I’m 50/50 on you being affiliated with the app and posting this just to drive clicks.

Assuming you are legit, best of luck finding an alternate you’re happier with.
