My wife reads a lot of AO3. What do you mean by engaged with tumblr in this context? Are they partnering for something?

Appalachian milfs and I have a thing for each other

Thanks, I blew air out of my nose harder than usual.

More like swallow the competition (acquisition), then shit them out (product sunset).

One time, probably fine. But I would avoid doing it all the time. Food remnants just sitting in there for 6-8 hours while you sleep is not good.

Hate to break it to you, but third world countries have bugs too.

For studying, instrumental music or at least music with lyrics I don’t understand. My go-to is my own curated playlist of film/movie soundtracks.

For working, anything goes. I have a variety of playlists like metal, prog rock, fusion, acid jazz, kpop, j pop/rock, etc.

K is the only area you’re guaranteed to be born into a first world country, therefore giving you better passport privilege to move where you want to go if you don’t like it.

Don’t remove your shoes inside the house.

Similar to the blood-brain barrier, we have a kitchen-bathroom barrier policy. Tools for each space should never cross, even cleaning tools. So even brushes for the sinks are separate.

In my area, they use outdoor trampolines as measurement.

PBS Eons on youtube has some. There also some random channels that come up based on the algorithm, but you can try starting there.

Woah are you the OG sprog? Great to see you here!

I’ve recently been watching videos about the eras before the dinosaurs. Cool stuff.

Otherwise I may prefer to have them leak my viewing habits from a TV that only ever uses streaming apps than having access to my PC where I do a bunch of other stuff and log in to a bunch of services that may be subject to tracking.

That’s the sliding scale you’re talking about. Threat modeling isn’t black and white, it depends on what the person’s risk profile is. Yours is not wanting to expose your laptop. Others don’t want their tv monitoring their activity, and would prefer to transfer the risk to their laptop and browser where they have more control of the medium their streaming site goes through and they can cut off the tv manufacturer.

If you didn’t have a sliding scale, you’d be a hermit with no internet access at all.

I guess it may cut off Samsung or LG out of the loop, if you have a particular grudge with them specifically, but that’s about it.

That’s what people are trying to avoid, the unnecessary data collection by the TVs themselves. I don’t think anyone is saying watching netflix on a laptop is more private than on a tv, and even then, using a browser with uBO can still block some tracking on streaming sites vs using their apps on a tv.

When I browse documentaries on streaming platforms, around 50% are true crime. Then around 20% are about food, 20% about aliens, and the rest comprise the remaining 10%. Producers need to take a break from all the true crime content.

This is because of the guy who was shooting oranges at people.

Agreed. The microblogging format is more for one-way communication (i.e. 1 poster to many viewers). Trying to have a discussion or even just reading a discussion on twitter, mastodon, etc. is a terrible experience.

If the pocket is big and spacious enough to feel like an apartment, that’s free housing.

LLMs can be useful in hyperfocused , contained environments where the models are trained on a specific data set to provide a service for a specific function only. So it won’t be able to answer random questions you throw at it, but it can be helpful on the only thing it’s trained to do.
