Right now it’s The Tales of War by Orbit Culture. Amazing band.

Education needs to move with the times. “AI”, LLMs, etc are not going away and they’re only going to become more and more integrated into everyday life. Kids need to be taught how to use them, and most importantly that they’re not 100% correct all or even most of the time.

If you don’t teach them these things then you end up with people like we have now - mindlessly believing everything they say, and believing that they are “alive” and have feelings and relationships.

Just like a calculator, a laptop, and a bunsen burner - they’re a tool. If you operate them wrong you’ll get incorrect results that might look and sound right.

The entire education system in most countries needs an overhaul to be more relevant for the world we live in. There should be no student coming out of school that doesn’t understand how interest and loans work, or the basics of taxes a normal person has to navigate, for example. LLMs and their accuracy/inaccuracy should be another. Assessments also need to change - closed book stuff basically shouldn’t exist for maths for example, and take home essays should be a thing of the past. They have no place in the current world.

Voyager has the option to show instances after usernames.

I don’t understand why anyone would ever use Twitter for porn in the first place lol. Porn sites exist……

I’ve been on Twitter for like 16 years now and porn has never been something I’ve seen or even thought to search for on there. It makes no sense.

Yes, there are - see GDPR as another example.

That isn’t a legal way around the age verification laws.

Well they can do shit - they can put out arrest warrants and fines, and possibly have the person extradited to the UK depending on the country.

No explanation was given as to why they didn’t forgo the key card altogether and just release to the eshop only.

Because the explanation is so obvious it doesn’t need to be said - then it’s only available on the eshop lol.

Few laughable things here:

Artists don’t get paid when you’re using Lidarr and sabnzbd lol. Dudes pirating music while trying to say how badly Spotify pays artists lol.

Your complete library is only available offline if you’re streaming locally or have already downloaded all of your music to every device you want to play it offline on. Don’t know what he means by “limited downloads” for Spotify either.

In this setup he is having data collected and tracked by last.fm, (potentially) whichever indexing services he is using for lidarr, (potentially) whichever download service he’s using for sabnzbd, and ListenBrainz (which even makes all user listen data and text public). Oh and his ISP. And cloudflare.

Hosting your own media library is awesome, just don’t try and bullshit people by pretending that you’re better than Spotify because they pay their artists poorly when you’re stealing from the artists yourself.

We’re in a topic about TVs.

Yeah, and they can’t get rid of “sideloading” without literally killing their entire company because gigantic corporations, where they make the majority of their money, are the ones the most beholden to legacy software that would be blocked if they did. Banks, governments, hospitals, schools…….everything would not be able to function.

NOM, as reported by the ABS, was 1500+ a day in 2023. In 2024 it was over 1200 a day. We’ve definitely had an increase this year, especially with stuffing electorates with labor-voting immigrants.

We don’t have NOM figures for this year, but we know that it is tightly aligned with OAD figures - and the 2 OAD figures are at an all time high for one, and the second highest on record for the other……so hmm do you think it’s possible that the NOM will be high?

your position is that immigration is a net drain on society

Woah woah woah - where did you get that from? My position is that increasing demand while keeping supply the same in an already undersupplied market makes the situation worse. I have never said that immigration is a net drain on society lol.

Who is to blame for the current housing crisis is irrelevant in fixing it. Labor are doing nothing to fix it, while allowing it to get worse every single day by increasing demand. Labor are in power - they’re the only ones that can act NOW to try and fix it. That’s their job - or at least it’s supposed to be. No point crying about John Howard ffs lol
