These and a few other similar ‘epic’ movies were my go to lullaby movies for decades.
I’d put them on late and fall asleep to them, but I’d also watch them through sometimes too. And I still throw them on sometimes, just for kicks.
Yoti too.
They hold and verify ID, then mostly just pass an OK to the website or service you wanna access. Similar to Paypal playing the middle man when shopping and clicking Pay with Paypal.
They do also have the ability to share other details, but according to their FAQ it’s always with your permission.
Likewise Paypal will share your name address and email, but that’s often necessary while shopping.
Logging in to sites with Google or Facebook has a similar effect, the login prompts often have check boxes that allow you to control the data you share.
The biggest problem of course is that Yoti or other similar services then know what sites you’ve been visiting, and if they don’t respect your privacy and/or keep logs of those sites that information can be hacked or misused by bad actors.
Thus they should only keep age verification use logs extremely temporarily, or anonymize their logs if storing to track general system use patterns, for maintenance and research.
I have an email address and other accounts from the '90s that still exist.
I use the email for junkmail and Craigslist.
Meh, in the end US voting rights have mm ratings…
Stitching is a hobby?
Where’s the second comparison picture that shows what it would look like with more 3 or 4 story or underground parking.
Wouldn’t you want to also be on your own jury?
Direct and financial influence trumps merely financial influence. It could save the billionaire class millions in donations and bribes.
Look what it’s done for Trump.
Why do they last more than a year?
Why do they exist at all?
Hola, they had an issue with bandwidth getting gobbled up, it’s resolved but reliability won’t return untill next week.
Their post about it is hosted on the service you can’t see because it has the issue they are explaining in the post.
However if you search the fediverse for fedinsfw there are posts explaining this elsewhere.
They actually fixed the issue with their service, but the bandwidth alottment was already used up. Connection reliability should return to normal next week.
It’s kinda funny not funny, the post explaining the issue is hosted on the instance you can’t access because it has that issue.
Meh, far as I’m concerned they can still talk about all these events and facts but they should always do so in a positive and celebratory manner.
Not, this site remembers whatever genocide, but instead, this site remembers the soldiers/citizens who faught against a ruthless group who were at the time commiting genocidal acts against indigenous people… You don’t even need to name the group of assholes. But it’s fine to specifically name the heros and their heroic acts.
Perhaps post education signs that talk about positive changes to an area.
Like in 1998 John Soandso lead a campaign to restore the area you see before you to the healthy natural state it’s in today. Because of that campaign bla bla birds and native plants have returned to the area over the years since. Previous to John’s campaign the area had been heavily over polluted by nearby industrial factories.
Keep any of the bad stuff referenced as a relevant afterthought. Use the good stuff as examples of what to do, of people to look up to.
I saw some similar signs in NC last time I went through, like the ones celebrating the life of a master builder in area who had helped build many of the still standing historic building. Oh yeah, he was also black and a slave, but that wasn’t the point, so it was just kinda noted within the context of the details of his life… Instead the sign celebrated his craft and contributions to the community.
Whatever man.
I change up my writing style pretty much constantly.
And I switch between muliple accounts on several services, each representing a different fictional character.
And I use a VPN.
I was just reading through a couple thousands of the financial statements and reports and scans from 10. Kinda interesting stuff seeing how millionaires manage their finances, private jets, and properties.
Can not both be true?
I only pee in other people’s showers.
Yeah, was pretty sure it was something like that…
I used AI to make a Home Alone themed digital Christmas card last year. It was completely PG. But it was a nightmare to do as I kept tripping over gates on account of Kevin being a child and Home Alone being a copyrighted property.
I went all the way to the dark end of the AI gen spectrum, to where kiddie porn abdolutely happens, but the product I produced there was unsatisfactory. So I went alI went back to the top players with all the gates and worked around them by reworking my prompts for what seemed like forever.
1 year earlier I would’ve gotten the results I wanted with my first prompt, maybe tweaking fonts for the words, fixing spelling errors, or making minor visual features. 5min tops.
It really turned me off from continuing to play with AI.
Those gates have gotten really nasty.
It’s as though users are treated as guilty in advance and then denied the opportunity to prove themselves innocent.
Completely backwards attitude and practice.
Oh, Costco is in the stone ages still in a lot of ways, it’s pretty unsettling sometimes. But also using tried and true methods and waiting decades to adopt modern tech saves a ton of cash… Which doesn’t just benefit the stock holders when you’re a company like Costco.
Go in in person on a weekday before 3pm and sign up at the service desk.
My grand pappy worked on parts used for those moon buggies. He was pretty knowledgeable about them and proud of his work.
Would be pretty shitty for him to have learned it was all staged.
He was a hard ass too, ex British Navy.
I don’t think it wise to hire people like him to work on projects you intend to use to lie to and betray the public.
Pretty sure it’d be more cost effective and safer to just hire joe schmoe to work up some gadget in his garage, or to handle it in house. Why hire outside professionals and actually do the real work to just lie about the outcome.
Though these new phones and most Samsung devices generally have high quality, durable, and reliable hardware, the devs are making pretty crappy choices about software changes and some hardware choices are just disappointing… This screen, the camera bumps, the old and outdated battery tech.
Samy is falling behind and mucking things up. They’re only likely to stay relevant because of their long standing history.
I mean, I wanna like their tech, but mostly I don’t right now, even though I used to love it… I can see business pros continuing to use their devices, but I don’t want an iPhone clone personally.
