? It wasn’t great. If they’re concerned about poor turn out in theaters they should look at what else was in theaters and how well they did.

They are typically at least 2.85in in diameter, not 2in. They describe them on the sales receipt/contract.

Maybe not here, but post the location to a group of antiflockers, suggest it’s pointing at a home and shouldn’t be, suggest maybe it should be removed.

You can stay pretty anonymous.

There are those of us who wouldn’t mind just quietly popping by a week later and taking care of that for ya.

If any are close by it certainly might get done.

Seems most people vote their feels or their chosen clan… Whoever they think they get along better with socially.

It seems few people seriously assess a politicians job qualification or work hisrory.

Heck, my SO just lets me do the work, but I refused to just let them copy my vote. I write up paragraph summaries for each candidate then a blurb explaining my choice. They can disagree if they want, it’s okay. I don’t look to see how they vote, or ask, but they basically tell me they trust me and just wanna copy me.

It’s honestly pretty upsetting.

And I bet one partner in most relationships just does the same, or votes party line, or just generally doesn’t give a hoot but votes anyway.

Anything that is just local hardware can be saved or copied to an encrypted cloud drive of your choosing, via VPN if that’s what you want.

You don’t have to use a security cam system that hosts the cloud storage, or acts as a middle man between you and a live feed.

There are local systems that can host remote access portals too.

These things existed before things like ring or wyze…

I have no problem with being able to verbally ask a computer to do basic useful things, it’s a far more advanced PC-human inferface than the computer mouse…

But beyond that, meh. I get how it can be used by science to solve complex issues or analyze large datasets, and that’s cool, but I don’t need anything on my PC more calable than an aide that can set a timer for me, or thereabouts.

If it can’t already do something with way fewer errors than people, than it shouldn’t be doing that yet.

If it can, then we might as well put it to work.

We didn’t build stone tools because our hands were good enough, or bronze tools because stone was good enough,…

Well, I grew up with knowledge of cable pirating in apartment complexes, VHS recording of retals to share or rewatch or watch later, and tape and CD sharing and mixing…

So as far as Im aware pirating was always a easy, viable, and economically savvy choice.

I did explore Netflix for a brief time 15 years ago, but the quality of their service degraded heavily, and I still pirated alongside my Netflix membership, as their content was always limited. And I shared my member ship with others, then later occasionally used a membership that was shared with me, until Netflix broke that system.

My Sammy rang the front door bell to be let in when I was a kid. One night around midnight my dad opened the door nude to let Sammy in and some dude was standing there instead.

I’ve heen casually riding at 16mph on single gear bikes since I was a teen.

Have the people deciding the speed limit ever riden a bike?

Gonna go seed some roms.

When I got here a Michael said it was The Good Place, but I’m beginning to think he lied?

Private DNS service.

Jerry rig door sensor.

Probably against the rules, but I’d do it anyway.

Everything everyone today says or thinks is plagiarized… Move along already, it don’t matter none. What does matter is how it, whatever it is, either benefits society or hurts it.

Brass bell you say?

Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.

Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.

Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).

Either way, nobody was hurt.

But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.

Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.

As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!

I don’t know any pirates, but I sure do know a lot of people that share copies of files on the internet.

I run a matte screen protector on my S25. Installed it day one. Matte screens are great!

I was considering a nextpaper or ePaper device when I got the s25, but I wanted something more top of the line, but with a more paper like screen. I found the matte screen protector works great at softening the screen, making it more paper like, but the device isn’t low end, so I can throw anything at it and it just works.

I’ve had some rather disappointing experiences with lower end stuff.

99% of the internet is trash. Pages bouncing all over while loading, constant cookie or login popups (even with various blockers), links not connecting, old long outdated content being pushed to the front of searches, junk AI slop non-answers articles or marketing lists about a problem vs actual detailed answers…

Then there are all the various billing systems for various marketplaces, that all wanna require memberships for one time sales, before they tell you the shipping cost.

And so so much more.

It’s all heavily dysfunctional and lame and not user friendly at all anymore.

Just change the ring to blue so it stand out more.
