I think the scarier thing is the part where a user has 66 comments, 77 comment karma, and 109,000 post karma. How are comments not upvoted more when post karma is that high? If you made a good post, the comments you make in that post should be upvoted relatively the same. Why is no one getting comment upvotes when it “appears” to be popular?

Thanks…now I’m acutely aware of the spit in my mouth and when I swallow it.

Honestly, nothing yet. I’ve only been playing with it for a few weeks. I just use the web interface on my phone to test the voice control. I’ve been looking at the esp32 devices that people have been building, but a lot of them admit that they can’t come anywhere close to the reliability of the microphone array used in the Alexa.

And this is exact the reason I’m building a Home Assistant instance with local voice processing. Right now it takes a few seconds to process a request and take action on my crappy 1.8ghz laptop with only 4gb of RAM, but it basically does everything I use Alexa for. This announcement is just encouraging me to build a better server with an esp32 satellite.

I saw this coming as soon as they killed the old mobile site. I generated a new gmail address to placate Reddit’s requirements, just in case I needed to modify old comments. Of course I unfortunately realized they were backing up and restoring old comments anyways, and that most of it was likely sold before the API debacle. But I can still get back in whenever I want, not that I really want to. Just like Digg. And Fark.

It’s not that anything would eat an alligator that’s the problem. Plenty of things will eat an alligator, as long as it’s dead. It’s taking down a live alligator and swallowing it whole that’s concerning.

Great…the Flying Spaghetti Monster just got it’s own version of Satan.

I bought during the height of the housing frenzy in Canada in 2021. Putting any condition on the sale meant that you wouldn’t get the house. I found a few issues but took the chance anyways. As soon as the sale went through, I got an inspector in to check out everything I found. I got lucky for the most part, but there were a few things that he found that I didn’t. It’s better to know these things and plan for them than to be oblivious.

Get the inspection. It’s not weird at all. They are all aware of the current situation.

Obligatory “Real users use Hannah Montana Linux” post.

And everyone will still call it Twitter.

Wanted to play some games, didn’t have money but I did know someone that knew someone that knew someone that ran a BBS that had some pirated games.

Yes, I’m that old.

Don’t be a completionist.

But how do I avoid feeling that horrible sense of emptiness? It’s not done until it’s 100%…

Yeah, but then they moved all the factories to other countries. The public is now just a burden to them for wanting corporations to pay their fair share in taxes.

Out of curiosity, what are dreams like for you? Is that also just a stream of sounds without images?

Angel lust is a common phenomenon. This is not entirely implausible.

That’s exactly the kind of question this community was created for.

Of course. He’s in rich people’s prison. They get all the perks.

Which is a travesty, because I slept on that show for that exact reason. Then I got curious and watched it. The prison episodes were far beyond anything I expected. This is what all the other live action shows are missing. Actual consequences…

You mean that a game show where you have to guess the price of several brand name products, which gives away prizes provided by their sponsors that are featured prominently during the entire show is really just a big long commercial?

Build her a server, install it at her house, set up some sort of automated DVD ripping mechanism so that she can digitize her own collection, wait for the inevitable tech support call, then go spend a Sunday afternoon fixing her server and digitizing her collection for her while she makes you dinner. You get to call it “quality time”, and you get fed while keeping her happy and her collection as far away from yours as possible. Win/win, everyone is happy.
