Pretty soon probably.

Wizards can’t lie, it’s in the Bible.

Do you happen to remember the name?

I’ve been meaning to ask this elsewhere but I guess I can piggyback off this post-

What tool(s) are available for deleting/removing your post history? I’ve seen mention that some didn’t delete their posts but had a bot or something replace the text in them with some text about leaving for Lemmy, and I’d like to do something like that myself.

Follow the other advice about carbon monoxide detectors and whatnot, but an easy trick to monitor your door is to tape the seams with something like painters tape or masking tape. If someone were to open your door while you’re sleeping they won’t be able to fix the tape even if they close the door when they leave.

If it trips it doesn’t tell you who is opening the door or why but it might give you some peace of mind until you get a camera or something set up.

Why the hell can’t we just have both? One of the biggest problems with smart speakers and voice assistants is that they’re so damn stupid so often. If A.I. were to become smart enough to be what the current assistants/speakers aren’t, surely that would drive device sales and engagement astronomically higher right?

Try my new griftocurrency.

Stop staring at the clock and you might see us.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Reddit will continue to do things that push the users away. As apps and accessibility to Lemmy improve, hopefully quality posts and comments will continue to grow.

Israel’s assault on the press continues. Not a good sign.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think a lot of anti intellectual thinking is a combination of religious and corporate influence on the world.

Religion more or less teaches that you should believe what you’re told, not what you discover or learn for yourself. It’s a subtle but powerful way to discourage people from seeking the truths in life because they are genuinely convinced they’ve found the answer for everything.

Similarly with corporate influence so heavily a part of our lives people are quick to fall into the trap of consumerism. From a young age we are being conditioned to accept that it’s normal to have to pay multiple times for the same product and to replace our possessions regularly. The cost of living that way makes the time and expense of continuing education unattainable for the average person, which often leads to bitterness about their situation and anger towards those who are able to work a white collar job or live an easier life.

Both are problems without quickly enacted solutions. People have to be taught to think critically without being put off or angered when they get to topics that contradict what they want to believe.

Ideally you’d use both. Something like a pihole to serve as a first wall of defense for the entire network, and then additional things like uBlock Origin for any device with a browser that supports it, for some more granular control.

This is how I keep my home setup.

The pihole has a fairly loose blocking setup because some people in the house need access to things that would normally get blocked and I’m not spending weeks unblocking specific things until everyone is happy.

Behind the pihole everyone has their own suite of browser extensions and software to block what they would like at a much more personal level.

I’d love to see PC remakes of Final Fantasy games from the PlayStation era. Fix whatever bugs there were and add an option to toggle traditional graphics to modern AAA title graphics and I’m good.
