I try not to context-switch between shows. However much of a show drops at a time is how much I watch before switching to a different show. Then I can just use the relevant platform’s “new episodes” alert to know when there’s something to slot into my viewing time.
Yeah, just have to be up front about it so people know what to expect.
That probably varies based on local culture. But I’ve never lived anywhere that it’s not the norm that unless otherwise stated in the invitation, the host is paying for the party.
yeah I use webdav on my home NAS with just one phone and one laptop. probably going to self-host serve so I can do shared notes with the Baroness.
Joplin can sync between phone and laptop with a number of network storage options

or you can self-host Joplin server.

I replaced Pixel launcher with Lawnchair. Very similar UX but let’s you do things like set the search bar to just open your default browser.
could you not just get a data-only SIM?
This is fantastic news!
OpenShot is FOSS and they support Linux, Windows, and Mac. They seem to be dripping Flatpak in favor of AppImage, though. So that’s gross.
you learn more by having to read a whole page to find a sentence and then write your full sentence answer by hand than you do by hitting ctrl-f, ctrl-c, ctrl-v on the keyboard. You miss out on the surrounding contextual information.
If it’s open source it can be verified that it’s not storing the data.
And I 100% agree that software scanning an ID is an overall bad way to verify. With a CC# validation at least that shows up on my statement, but if my kid is sneaky enough to get mine out of my wallet I have no way of knowing.
I feel like #1 and #2 are problems whether its client side or server side. As for #3 I would lean in the direction of there being a one-time check with no persistent knowledge. Like when you flash your ID to the bartender to order a drink. A client app that scans the ID and returns the answer to the requestor.
But I don’t think there is any way to reliably implement this sort of thing. I think it should really just be left to parental control and monitoring.
Some kind of cryptographic signing of the executable could probably help with that.
Ultimately I don’t believe there can ever be a foolproof solution and the emphasis should be on client-side parental controls.
This goes in a better direction than web sites doing it themselves, I think. The government put out an open source tool that runs locally and the browser just gets a yay/nay return code from it.
I just bought a few WD drives direct, but their web site has a problem with validating virtual credit card numbers. I’m the few days it took to resolve it the price went up. Fortunately since I had the support ticket I was able to get refunded the difference.
What if it was just an off the cuff joke?
You know Russ, I’ve been known to fuck myself.
I guess you’re not thinking of “locked down” in terms of independent developers finding the iOS and Android “play by our rules and be distributed thru our app store or we’ll make it hard for users to run your software” to be a barrier to distribution.
I was referring to this
If this technology is successful, the end result could be that we would see our Linux laptops one day being as locked down as an Iphone or Android device.
took me too long to figure out to read it as re-styling rather than resty-ling.
